　　中秋節(jié)英語翻譯：Mid-Autumn Festival [the 15th day of the eighth lunar month]

　　中秋節(jié)英文介紹:

　　The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, usually in early September to early October of the Gregorian calendar with full moon at night. It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon-an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns.

　　The festival has a long history.In ancient China, emperors followed the rite of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. Historical books of the Zhou Dynasty had had the word “Mid-Autumn”. Later aristocrats and literary figures helped expand the ceremony to common people. They enjoyed the full, bright moon on that day, worshipped it and expressed their thoughts and feelings under it. By the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the Mid-Autumn Festival had been fixed, which became even grander in the Song Dynasty(960-1279). In the Ming(1368- 1644)and Qing(1644-1911)dynasties, it grew to be a major festival of China.

　　中秋節(jié)英文介紹翻譯:

　　每年農(nóng)歷八月十五日，是傳統(tǒng)的中秋佳節(jié)。這時是一年秋季的中期，所以被稱為中秋。在這天，每個家庭都團聚在一起，一家人共同觀賞象征豐裕、和諧和幸運的圓月。此時，大人們吃著美味的月餅，品著熱騰騰的香茗，而孩子們則在一旁拉著兔子燈盡情玩耍。

　　中秋節(jié)有悠久的歷史，和其它傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日一樣，也是慢慢發(fā)展形成的，古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的禮制，早在《周禮》一書中，已有“中秋”一詞的記載。后來貴族和文人學士也仿效起來，在中秋時節(jié)，對著天上又亮又圓一輪皓月，觀賞祭拜，寄托情懷，這種習俗就這樣傳到民間，形成一個傳統(tǒng)的活動，一直到了唐代，這種祭月的風俗更為人們重視，中秋節(jié)才成為固定的節(jié)日，《唐書·太宗記》記載有“八月十五中秋節(jié)”，這個節(jié)日盛行于宋朝，至明清時，已與元旦齊名，成為我國的主要節(jié)日之一。
