Double Seventh Festival 浪漫的七夕 农历七月初七，俗称七夕节，又有说法是乞巧节或女儿节。 这是中国传统节日中最浪漫的一个。尽管七夕的各种传统活动已经消失，但牛郎和织女的浪漫传说却一直流传到现在。 Long long ago, there was a handsome and clever boy. 他从小就成了孤儿，整日与一只老水牛做伴。人们因此称他为牛郎。 那时，天上的王母娘娘有个漂亮的小女儿。 She was the youngest and she was good at weaving. 大家都叫她织女。传说美丽的朝霞和晚霞就是她的杰作。 织女厌倦了天上的生活，向往着能过上凡人的日子。她爱上了勤劳的牛郎，于是偷偷下凡和他结了婚。They had a lovely boy and a pretty girl. Her mother was very angry about the marriage. She asked her daughter to come back. 如果织女不听话，王母娘娘就要杀死牛郎和他们的两个孩子。 She had to leave. 就在牛郎万分焦急的时候，一直陪伴他的老黄牛突然张口说话了。牛郎大吃一惊。 The old buffalo said that he could die at any time. 它告诉牛郎，它死后牛郎可以剥下它的皮，踩着去追织女。 |
