Module 4 Carnival;Guidance:Maybe you have heard about the carnivals in Rio and Orleans.However,the passage describes another one. The custom of celebrating from the end of January until mid-February has long been popular in Quebec City,Canada.The first large Winter Carnival here,in the world’s snow capital,took place in 1894.Faced with winter’s hardships1,the city’s population made this popular tradition into a winter celebration that warmed the hearts of all people.?;Interrupted by the two wars and then the economic crisis of 1929,the Carnival was held from time to time until the second half of the century.In 1954,a group of business people re-started the festivities2.That year,Bonhomme was born and was elected the event’s representative3.;The next year the first official Quebec Winter Carnival took place.The Carnival snowballed4 into a big event and was important for tourism and economic activity in the city. From one winter to the next,the Carnival enriched its activity program.We have since added even more popular activities,such as winter sports,snow sculptures,and activities based on the traditional Quebec lifestyle,such as dogsled5 races.The Quebec Winter Carnival is the largest winter carnival in the world today,and is the third on the list of Top Carnivals after the famous carnivals in Rio and New Orleans.;美文翻译 在加拿大的魁北克,这种从一月末一直持续到二月中旬的习俗庆祝活动已经流行很长时间了。在这世界著名的雪都,1894年举办了第一届大型冬季狂欢节。面对冬季的苦难,魁北克人将这种受欢迎的传统演变成了温暖人心的冬季庆祝活动。 受两次世界大战及1929年经济危机的影响,魁北克的冬季狂欢节在20世纪中期之前时断时续。1954年,一群商人重新发起了冬季狂欢节。那一年,博诺姆出生了,并被选为冬季狂欢节的代表。 第二年,魁北克举办了第一届官方冬季狂欢节。这项活动演变成该市一项大规模的项目,并对旅游和经济有着重要意义。;年复一年,魁北克冬季狂欢节丰富发展了活动的项目。从那以后,我们甚至增加了像冬季体育运动,雪雕及基于魁北克生活传统的更多受欢迎的活动,如狗拉雪橇大赛。魁北克冬季狂欢节现在是世界上最大的冬季狂欢节,也是继著名的里约狂欢节和新奥尔良狂欢节之后,名列重大狂欢节榜单第三位的狂欢节。;词海拾贝 1.hardship [?ha?d?Ip] n.困苦;苦难 2.festivity [fe?stIv?tI] n.欢宴;欢庆 3.representative [reprI?zent?tIv] n.代表 4.snowball [?sn??b??l] vi.掷雪球;滚雪球般增大 5.dogsled [?d?gsled] n.狗拖的雪橇;1.The Quebec Winter Carnival 　　　.?
