The custom of Dragon Boat Race began from the Southern China．They selected the 5th lunar day of the 5th lunar month as the totem ceremony．The dragon Was the main symbol in the totem，because Chinese people thought they were the descendants of it．They also made dragon—like canoe．Later．the Chinese connected this custom with the Dragon Boat Festival．This was the only event originating from the Southern China，which might be the reason why Dragon Boat Race doesn’t prevail in the entire China today．Now, the Dragon Boat Race becomes an international event．which is popular in the USA，Canada，Australia，Singapore，etc．
难点注释
1．第一句中，“起源于”在这里强调一个开端，所以译为began from较为合适。
2．第二句中，“五月初五”是阴历，所以正确的表述为the 5thlunarday of the 5thlunar month。
3．第三句中，“龙的传人”译为the descendants of the dragon。
4．第四句中，“将……与……联系起来”翻译为英语中的固定搭配，即connected… with．．．。
5．第六、七句可以合译为一个定语从句，用which指代第六句中的“龙舟比赛”。
