MY AMAZING NAADAM EXPERIENCE
I experienced the Naadam Festival in China's Inner① Mongolia Autonomous② Region③ for the first time this year.The festival falls on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, usually lasting④ for three days.[1]Naadam means “games” in Mongolian, and it is represented⑤ by three events: horse racing, wrestling⑥, and archery⑦, which are all so exciting to watch!
[1]and连接的第二个分句中which引导非限制性定语从句。
On the first day, I set off⑧ to the games early with my friend Burin.I saw a lot of people wearing fancy⑨ Mongolian robes⑩.Some were feeding their horses, some were practising archery, and others were chatting or taking photographs.[2]Burin told me that Mongolians travel every year from near and far⑪ to attend the festival, just as their ancestors had done for centuries.
[2]that引导宾语从句,as引导方式状语从句。
After the opening ceremony⑫ and some amazing performances, the wrestling competition began.Mongolian wrestling is different from the wrestling in the Olympic Games.There are no rounds⑬, and wrestlers are not separated by weight.[3]The wrestler loses if any part of his body above his knee touches the ground. [4]After singing some songs, the competitors danced onto the green field, waving their arms in the air as if they were eagles⑭. I was quite moved by their show of strength and grace⑮.
[3]if引导条件状语从句。
[4]waving their arms in the air为现在分词短语作伴随状语,as if引导的方式状语从句运用了虚拟语气。
I absolutely⑯ enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part.However, I was surprised to see that the riders were boys and girls! [5]I heard it is because children are lighter and the horses can run faster and farther⑰. At first⑱, I was a little worried about the children's safety, but Burin said, “Don't worry.They've been riding horses all their lives.They'll be just fine.” [6]That was the moment⑲ I started to understand why people say “Horses are at the heart of Mongolian culture”. ...
[5] I heard后是省略了that的宾语从句,其中because引导表语从句。
[6]先行词the moment后是省略了关系词的定语从句,其中why引导宾语从句。
[7]I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it.He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent⑳ and eat hot pot.I can't wait!
[7] but连接的第一个分句中feeling really tired为现在分词短语作伴随状语,第二个分句中celebrating Naadam with my friend为动名词短语作主语。

我的那达慕大会奇妙经历
今年,我第一次体验了中国内蒙古自治区的那达慕大会。该节日于每年农历六月初四开始的,通常为期3天。“那达慕”在蒙古语中的意思是“游戏”,主要表现为三大赛事:赛马、摔跤和射箭,每项运动都令人激动不已!
(那达慕大会的)第一天,我和好友布林早早出发来到了会场。我看到很多人穿着华丽的蒙古袍。有的在喂马,有的在练习射箭,其他人则在聊天或拍照。布林告诉我说,与他们数百年前的祖先一样,蒙古人每年都会从四面八方赶来参加这一节日。
在开幕式和几项精彩的表演之后,摔跤比赛开始了。蒙古式摔跤与奥运会的摔跤比赛有所不同:比赛不分回合,摔跤选手不分体重。摔跤手膝盖以上任何部位着地即被判输。几首歌唱完,选手们开始在草地上翩翩起舞,他们像雄鹰一样在空中挥动着双臂。这刚柔并济的表演深深地打动了我。
射箭同样令我叹为观止,但赛马才是我最喜爱的部分。然而,看到赛马选手们都是男孩和女孩,我十分惊讶!听说这是因为孩子体重更轻,马儿能跑得更快、更远。刚开始的时候,我有点担心这些孩子的安全,但布林却说:“别担心,他们是在马背上长大的,不会有事的。”我顿时明白了为什么人们说“马是蒙古文化的核心”了。……
我现在已经回到家了,感到十分疲倦,但能和我的朋友一起庆祝那达慕,再累也是值得的。他邀请我冬天时再去住传统的蒙古包,吃火锅。我已经迫不及待了!
