西安特色英语小作文【一】
There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.
A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.
That day, he had a good meal.
From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?
People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.

??族特色1000字有这样一则材料：某户户主为增改家中电视机频道，寻踪购得增频器回家。老伴问："你买了什么洋玩意儿？"在得知是广州生产的后，又说："广州出产，怎么没有中文，尽是洋文？"中文，即汉语，厉经千年，几经演变发展到现在。这全世界使用人口最多的语言连外国人都在学习，而在它的发源地，在自己国家流通的商品上，竟是洋文说明。洋文，尤其是英文的广泛使用，也许是一个趋势，但在中国国内，还是汉语更容易让人接受。与这些现象相反，有的国家规定，无本国文字说明的`产品，一律不准进口。而在我国市面上出售的商品中，完全没有中文表识和中国文字说明的，已非个别现象。难道我们几千年的民族文化不值得引以为豪吗？
东北人过年讲究热闹、喜庆，年俗也就特别多。
1、吃带硬币饺子交好运过年吃饺子是北方人的习俗。东北民间在除夕有守岁的习惯。大年三十晚上辞旧迎新，一定要吃饺子，在众多的饺子中只包上几只带有硬币的（现在人们讲究卫生，就用花生或其他果仁来代替。），谁吃到了这样的饺子就预示着在新的一年里会交好运，有吉祥之意。此外，东北人在"初五"这天一定要吃饺子，也称"破五"，就是把饺子咬破，寓意将不吉利的事都破坏，有驱灾避邪之意。
2、年夜饭后吃冻梨由于东北天气寒冷，一些水果冻过之后，就另有一番滋味。最常见的是冰梨和冻柿子。据了解，最纯正的是冻秋梨，在北方有一种梨叫秋梨，这种梨刚摘下来的时候又酸又涩，于是人们就把这种梨采摘下来直接放在树下，盖上一层树叶，经过冰冻之后的秋梨酸甜可口，果汁充足。冻梨在吃之前要放在水里解冻，年夜饭后吃这种梨能解酒、解油腻。
3、年三十点长寿灯东北人在大年三十都要点长寿灯，彻夜通明。大年三十一直到正月十五元宵节，每家每户都要挂红灯笼，到了晚上就要点亮灯笼，而且要点一宿，不能关灯，意味着益寿延年，香火不断。
4、正月不剪头东北人一般都在大年初一到农历二月初一之前不能剪头，如果剪头会克（）舅舅，所以东北人很忌讳这点，没有人会在正月里剪头。"二月二，龙抬头"这表示着二月初二这天人们剪头会很吉利，所以在这一天很多人都会争相剪头，讨吉利。
5、初一初二不扫地在东北，上了年纪的老人都有这样一个说法，大年初一、初二这两天，不扫地，就是不愿将好运气、财气扫走。所以只有等着到了初三才可以扫地。

??寓言小故事：The Wolf and the LambaWolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."
"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
狼和小羊
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的.水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。
