泼水节 泼水是傣族新年的主要喜庆活动。人们互相泼水，表示洗去身上一年的尘垢，迎接新一年的到来。泼水有文泼和武泼之分。文泼是对长者的泼法，舀起一勺水，一边说着祝福的话，一遍拉开长者的衣领，将水顺着领口往下浇。被泼的人欣然接受对方的祝福。武泼则没有固定的形式，用瓢、用盆、用桶都可以，互相追逐，劈头盖脸地泼。被人泼的水越多，说明受到的祝福越多，被泼的人也越高兴。 泼水 water splashing 新年的主要喜庆活动：the main New Year celebration activity 洗去尘垢 wash off the dust and dirt 文泼/武泼 gentle splashing/fierce splashing 舀水 ladle some water 欣然接受祝福accept it with good grace 互相追逐 run after each other 劈头盖脸 face-to-face, head-on Water Splashing Festival Water splashing is the main New Year celebration activity of the Dai people. People splash water on others to wash off the dust and dirt of the old year and welcome the coming of the New Year. Water is either splashed gently or fiercely. Gentle splashing is to the elders——people ladle some water and , uttering good wishes while gently pulling loose the collar, pour it down an elder’s neck. The one being splashed accepts it with good grace. Fierce splashing has no fixed pattern——people can run after each other and use ladles, basins or even buckets to splash or pour water over each other face to face. The more one is splashed, the happier one is for the many blessings he gets. 倾心to give one’s heart to 放心to set one’s heart at ease 灰心to lose heart 关心to take to heart 伤心to break one’s heart 心对心heart to heart 衷心的heart-felt 善心的kind-hearted 黑心的black-hearted 硬心肠的hard-hearted 从心底里from the bottom of one’s heart 全心全意heart and soul 2.说起中国古代文明，人们都熟知“四大发明”——造纸、火药、指南针、印刷术，他们对于世界文化、军事、交通等发展起着无可估量的作用。实际上中华民族对世界文明的杰出贡献远不只是“四大发明”。When we mention China’s ancient civilization, we think of the Four Great Inventions——paper, gunpowder, the compass and printing, which have had an immeasurable impact on the development of world culture, military affairs, and communications and transportation. Actually, the most outstanding contributions made by the Chinese Nation to world civilization are by no means limited only to the Four Great Inventions. 3. 男人品女人 男人用眼睛看女人，而女人用心灵看男人。男人注重女人的外观，一丝不苟，所以才会有所谓的“女为悦己者容”的说法。从古至今也没有听谁说过“女为悦己者修身养性。”How a Man Sizes up a Wo
