　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　賽龍舟

　　賽龍舟(Dragon boat racing)是端午節(jié)的一項重要活動，在中國南方尤為流行。關(guān)于這項運動的由來，有一種說法是為了紀(jì)念中國古代的著名愛國詩人屈原。龍舟的大小和樣式多種多樣，但一般都帶有裝飾性的龍頭和龍尾。賽龍舟不僅是一種體育和娛樂活動，它更能體現(xiàn)人們心中的集體主義和愛國主義精神。賽龍舟現(xiàn)已被列入國家級非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄(National Intangible Cultural Heritage List)。 

　　參考翻譯:

The dragon boats vary in sizes and styles, but they are generally rigged with decorative Chinese dragon heads and tails. Dragon boat racing is not only a kind of sports and recreational activities, but also reflects the spirit of people’s collectivism and patriotism. Dragon boat racing is now among the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
