華盛頓州的國際風箏節
地方性遺產
放風箏不但是一件有趣的活動，風箏本身也是一件值得觀賞的美麗作品。
世上有許多不同種類的風箏，有些風箏的複雜程度遠遠超過其他的風箏。菱形風箏是最簡單的一種。只要一個平坦的表面將兩根桿子交叉，用繩索綁牢交接處，再加上一個維持平穩的尾巴，它就可以利用合宜的風量，穩穩的在天空飛翔了。
回顧歷史，風箏曾被應用在各式各樣的用途上，包括傳送訊息、抓魚、進行敵軍偵測行動、測量天氣及發送電訊，而現在的風箏則多為娛樂用。
每年八月，華盛頓州的國際風箏節會在長灘半島(Long
Beach Peninsula)上，華盛頓的西南角落舉辦。節慶中有許多教人如何製作、裝飾及放風箏的工作坊，另外，也有為小孩、成人及老人舉辦的競賽。在節慶的最後一天，大家都受邀在同一時間放風箏，藉以營造一個鮮豔、美麗的景觀！
假如您要放風箏，確定您身處一個無障礙的開放空間，遠離道路、樹木、電源線及機場。而且千萬不要在下雨或暴風中放風箏！現在趕快踏出戶外放風箏吧！
Not only is a kite fun to fly, but it is also beautiful to watch.
There are many different kinds of kites -- some much more complex than others. One of the simplest kinds is the diamond kite. It has a flat surface formed by two sticks tied into a cross and a tail that helps keep it stable. It flies nicely in light to medium winds.
Throughout history kites have been used for many different purposes, including to deliver messages, catch fish, spy on enemies, measure the weather and send radio signals. Today, kites are mostly flown for pleasure.
Every August, the Washington State International Kite Festival takes place in the southwest corner of Washington on the Long Beach Peninsula. There are workshops that teach people how to build, decorate and fly kites. There are also competitions for kids, adults and seniors. On the last day of the festival, everyone is welcome to fly a kite at the same time, creating a colorful, beautiful sight!
If you fly a kite, make sure you have clear, wide open spaces away from roads, trees, power lines and airports. And never fly in rain or storms. So go out and fly a kite!
