用英语讲述中国故事——用英文表述中国传统节日“中秋节”

中秋节是我国的传统文化之一,应该如何用英文来表述呢?下面我们就一起来看看吧。

中秋节的由来同月亮有诸多关联,中秋节的习俗自然和月亮也有不可分割的联系。祭月与拜月的仪式留传下来,形成了中秋赏月的传统。人们面对天空中皎洁的月色常常诗兴大发,其中最有名的当属苏轼的《水调歌头》。那句“但愿人长久,千里共婵娟”-直被人传诵着。而后来,后羿在家里摆上嫦娥爱吃的食物的举动,衍生出另一个重要习俗便是吃月饼。月饼形似圆月,最早古时祭月摆放的贡品。味道可口,象征团圆和睦,受到各地人们的喜爱。

The festival's origin is closely associated with the moon, as is the case of its customs.To this day, moon worshiping, together with praying to the moon, is still the most symbolic ritual. The bright and clear moon hanging in the sky has often been the source of poetic inspiration, the most famous such poem being Prelude to Water Melody by Su Shi.Very few Chinese are not familiar with the lines:

"Long be we linked with light of the fair moon/

Over large league of distance, thou and I."

 Another important custom, which arose from Houyi's displaying of Chang'e's favorite food, is eating mooncakes. Richly-flavored and symbolically round like the full moon,they are the oldest and most popular tribute to the moon.
