七月节日的英文

每年农历的七月初七是七夕节 (Chinese Valentine's Day) Valentine's Day The seventh day of the seventh lunar month Raise your head on August 4 and gaze at the stars, you will find something romantic going on in the sky. VALENTINE'S Day in China, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, falls on August 4 this year. That is, on Monday evening, Niu Lang and Zhi Nu will meet on a bridge of magpies（鹊桥） across the Milky Way（银河）. Chinese grannies will remind children that they would not be able to see any magpies on that evening because all the magpies have left to form a bridge in the heavens with their wings. Romantic legend The legend has been handed down for nearly 2 millennia. The story has been recorded as far back as the Jin Dynasty (256-420 AD). Poets composed hundreds of verses on the love story and many types of Chinese opera tell the story. The Chinese people believe that the star Vega（织女星）, east of the Milky Way, is Zhi Nu and, at the constellation of Aquila（天鹰座）, on the western side of the Milky Way, Niu Lang waits for his wife. Zhi Nu was said to be the youngest of seven daughters of the Queen of Heaven. With her sisters, she worked hard to weave beautiful clouds in the sky, while Niu Lang was a poor orphan cowherd, driven out of his home by his elder brother and his cruel wife. Niu Lang lamented over his lonely and poor life with an old cow, his only friend and companion. The magical cow kindly told him of a way to find a beautiful and nice woman as his life companion. Under the direction of the cow, Niu Lang went to the riverside on an evening, where the seven fairies slipped out of their heavenly palace to bathe. He took one of the beautiful silk dresses the fairies had left on the bank. When the fairies left the water, the youngest couldn't find her clothes and had to see her sisters fly back to heaven without her. Then Niu Lang came out with the dress and asked the youngest fairy, Zhi Nu, to stay with him. Several years passed on Earth, which were only a few days in heaven. Niu Lang and Zhi Nu lived happily together and had two children before the Queen of Heaven discovered Zhi Nu's absence. She was so annoyed she had Zhi Nu brought back to heaven. Seeing his beloved wife flying in the sky, Niu Lang was terrified. He caught sight of the cowhide hanging on a wall. The magical cow had told him before dying of old age: "Keep the cowhide（牛皮） for emergency use." Putting the cowhide on, he went after his wife with his two children. With the help of the cowhide, Niu Lang was able to follow Zhi Nu into heaven. He was about to reach his wife when the Queen showed up and pulled off her hairpin to draw a line between the two. The line became the Silver River in heaven, or the Milky Way. Zhi Nu went back to the heavenly workshop, going on weaving the clouds. But she was so sad, and missed her husband across the Silver River so much that the clouds she weaved seemed sad. Finally, the Queen showed a little mercy, allowing the couple to meet once every year on the Silver River. Well-known poem One of the most famous poems about the legend was written by Qin Guan of in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Fairy Of The Magpie Bridge Among the beautiful clouds, Over the heavenly river, Crosses the weaving maiden. A night of rendezvous, Across the autumn sky.Surpasses joy on earth. Moments of tender love and dream, So sad to leave the magpie bridge. Eternal love between us two, Shall withstand the time apart.(Translated by Kylie Hsu) 鹊桥仙宋·秦观 织云弄巧飞星传恨银汉迢迢暗度金风玉露一相逢便胜却人间无数柔情似水佳期如梦忍顾鹊桥归路两情若是久长时又岂在朝朝暮暮 Compared with love stories in Western legends, the story of Niu Lang and Zhi Nu seems not as intense or passionate. Love doesn't kill or break up the barrier between them. They just wait patiently on the riverbank, believing that their love can withstand their time apart. It is faith and emotional liaison instead of physical attraction and desire that is emphasized in the story as well as in many other Chinese folktales（民间故事） about love. In only a few Chinese folk love stories can be found a description of the physical appearances of the hero and heroine. In the "Butterfly Lovers", the heroine, dressed as a boy to attend school, falls in love with a classmate. After they have lived together as classmates for years, the hero did not have the slightest clue that his best friend is actually a girl! Chinese ceremonies The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the Lunar calendar. Unlike St. Valentine's Day in Western countries there is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses. Instead, Chinese girls prepare fruits, melons and incense（熏香） as offerings to Zhi Nu, the weaving maiden, praying to acquire high skills in needlecraft（裁缝）, as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands. In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars. Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what Zhi Nu and Niu Lang are talking about.

七夕节国外的叫法有好几种，有按照西方情人节的叫法翻译的，也有按照具体的日期翻译的，甚至还有直接音译的。

具体主要有以下几种叫法：

1、Chinese Valentine's Day，

西方情人节叫做Valentine's Day，为公历2月14日，而七夕节被称为中国的情人节，所以翻译上也就按照西方情人节的名称来命名了。

2、Double Seventh Day或者the Seventh Day of the Seventh Lunar Month，

七夕的日期是每年的农历七月初七，两个七的组合或者是七月七日的翻译就是这个叫法的来源。

3、Magpie Festival

magpie有“喜鹊”的意思，而七夕节的传说当中，这一天牛郎织女是要在鹊桥上相会的。鹊桥是无数的喜鹊在银河上搭起来的桥，七夕节被叫做喜鹊节其实不怎么准确。

4、Qixi Festival

直接音译，七夕两个字的拼音代表，根本不需要翻译。这种直译的方式不太常见，但是偶尔也会有。

除了中国之外，日本、韩国都是过七夕节的。

日本七夕：Tanabata

这个词也是七夕的意思，但指的是日本的七夕节。

日本的七夕节起源于咱们中国的七夕，七夕是中国的情人节，可是在日本，却和情人节沾不上什么边。和日本新年一样，七夕可以许愿，把心愿写在纸条上，然后挂在树上。

韩国七夕：Chilseok

韩国也过七夕，英文是：Chilseok，英文解释是：A Korean traditional festival which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Korean lunisolar calendar。

意思就是阴阳节，韩国七月初七的一个传统节日。

七夕节最常用的英语叫法还是Chinese Valentine's Day，也就是中国情人节。这个叫法更加让人容易理解，尤其是面对西方人的时候，他们一下子就能明白这个节日的意义了。

这个就像周总理把梁山伯与祝英台翻译成中国的罗密欧与朱丽叶一样，是个很好的译法。

七月七日是七夕节、乞巧节，英文是 Double Seventh Festival .

农历七月初七，俗称七夕节，又叫 “乞巧节”或“女儿节”，是中国传统节日中最具浪漫色彩的一个节日。

东晋葛洪的《西京杂记》中有“汉彩女常以七月七日穿七孔针于开襟楼，人俱习之。”这便是我国古代文献中最早的关于乞巧的记载；唐朝王建有诗云：“阑珊星斗缀珠光，七夕宫娥乞巧忙”；《开元天宝遗事》载：唐太宗与妃子每逢七夕在清宫夜宴，这一习俗在民间经久不衰。

宋元之际，七夕乞巧相当隆重，京城中设有专卖乞巧物品的市场，世人称之为乞巧市。人们从七月初一就开始置办乞巧物品，那时乞巧市场车水马龙。
