每年的農(nóng)歷8月15，就是我國(guó)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日：中秋節(jié)

中秋節(jié)也是寄托思念故鄉(xiāng)、親人之情、祈盼豐收、幸福的日子。

賞月吃月餅的同時(shí)，也來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)一下關(guān)于中秋的英文表達(dá)吧。

一、中秋節(jié)英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)？

中秋節(jié)：The Mid-Autumn Festival

其他說(shuō)法：

Moon Festival；Mooncake Festival；Zhongqiu Festival

例：

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, usually in October in Gregorian calendar.

每年農(nóng)歷八月十五日，是傳統(tǒng)的中秋佳節(jié)。這時(shí)是一年秋季的中期，所以被稱(chēng)為中秋。

二、中秋由來(lái)

中秋節(jié)的起源可以追溯到中國(guó)古代，人們?cè)谙蛟铝帘磉_(dá)敬意，也寓意對(duì)豐收的祈禱。

The Mid-Autumn Festival, dating back to ancient China, pays homage to the moon and good harvest.

北宋時(shí)期，農(nóng)歷八月十五才被正式確立為中秋節(jié)，從那以后，為月亮獻(xiàn)祭盛行，從那以后便成為風(fēng)俗。

In the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127 AD), the 15th day of the 8th lunar month was established as the "Mid-Autumn Festival". From then on, sacrificing to the moon was very popular, and has become a custom ever since.

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(shū)中，已有“中秋”一詞的記載。

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".

三、“月餅”用英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)？

棗泥月餅 jujube paste moon cakes

冰皮月餅 snow skin moon cakes

京式月餅 Beijing-style moon cakes

蘇式月餅 Suzhou-style moon cakes

廣式月餅 Cantonese-style moon cakes

港式月餅 Hong Kong-style moon cakes

四、關(guān)于月亮的表達(dá)

五、最后送上中秋祝福

A bright moon and stars twinkle and shine. Wishing you a merry Mid-Autumn Festival, bliss, and happiness.

皓月閃爍，星光閃耀，中秋佳節(jié)，美滿快樂(lè)！

Wishing us a long life to share the graceful moonlight, though thousands of miles apart.

但愿人長(zhǎng)久,千里共嬋娟。

Happy Mid-Autumn Day! Wish that you go well and have a successful and bright future.

中秋節(jié)快樂(lè)，萬(wàn)事如意，心想事成！

送上一首關(guān)于中秋的詩(shī)

《水調(diào)歌頭》

【宋】蘇軾

中秋明月幾時(shí)有？把酒問(wèn)青天。

不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年？

我欲乘風(fēng)歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒．起舞弄清影，何似在人間？

轉(zhuǎn)朱閣，低綺戶，照無(wú)眠。不應(yīng)有恨、何事長(zhǎng)向別時(shí)圓？

人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。但愿人長(zhǎng)久，千里共嬋娟。
