七夕節的來歷英語

A. 七夕的英文介紹

Double Seventh Festival

The Double Seventh Festival, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendar

This festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxurious greens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars, and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star, which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid, and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.

Long, long ago, there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowhand). His parents died when he was a child. Later he was driven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day, a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu (Weaver Maid) fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhand farmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately, the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back.

With the help of celestial cattle, the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife, the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowy river appeared in front of the Cowhand. The Cowhand and Weaver Maid were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. Their loyalty to love touched magpies, so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).

Scholars have shown the Double Seventh Festival originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD220). Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival, while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquet of Emperor Taizong and his concubines. By the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties, special articles for the "Qi Xi" were seen being sold on markets in the capital. The bustling markets demonstrated the significance of the festival.

Today some traditional customs are still observed in rural areas of China, but have been weakened or diluted in urban cities. However, the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maid has taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years, in particular, urban youths have celebrated it as Valentine's Day in China. As a result, owners of flower shops, bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.

Chinese Valentine's Days in a year
Chinanews Anthony

Chinanews, Beijing, July 31 - Today in the 7th day of the 7th month in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, the Seventh Evening of the Seventh Month Festival, which is considered as the Chinese Valentine's Day, a sweethearts day. However, what is sweeter is that there will be a second Seventh Evening of the Seventh Month Festival on August 30, as there is a intercalary seventh month this year. The last time when there were two Seventh Evening of the Seventh Month Festivals in a year was in 1968.

The Seventh Evening of the Seventh Month Festival, also known as the Needlework's Day or Girl's Day, on which girls pray to the Weaving-Maid for her blessing on their needlework, and of which the most romantic part is the love story between Weaving-Maid and Cowherd.

It is said that Cowherd from the mundane world and Weaving-Maid from heaven loved each other. They were separated by the Milky Way at the order of the Queen Mother of the Western Heaven, and were permitted to meet only once a year. Cowherd and Weaving-Maid became the stars Altair and Vega. They would meet on the seventh night of the seventh lunar month every year, with the magpies making a bridge to help them cross the Milky Way. People regarded the date of wedding as " meeting of stars " so far. Their beautiful tale has touched the hearts of so many young lovers in China throughout the ages, thus every year on the Seventh Evening of the Seventh Month Festival, many lovers would prey to the two stars for love and happiness.

Two Seventh Evening of the Seventh Month Festivals in a year is more than good news to lovers, but why? That is because the traditional Chinese lunar calendar is based on the syzygies of the moon, and there are only 355 or 354 days in a year, 11 days less than a solar year. The solution to this problems is to add seven intercalary months every 19 years, thus in 2006 an intercalary seventh month is added, making two Seventh Evening of the Seventh Month Festivals.

C. 七夕節的由來（用英語表達）

七夕節的由來（中英對照）

從前，有個善良又誠實的人，叫牛郎。他的父母在他童年的時候就死了。後來，他被迫和他嫂子生活在一起，他靠用牛耕地來糊口。

Long long ago , there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang . His parents died when he was a child . Later he was dirven out of his home by his sister-in-law(嫂子）.So he lived by farming with an old cow.

一天，神奇的牛告訴他，去尋找一個美麗的和漂亮的女人作為他的人生伴侶。在這頭牛的指引下，一天傍晚，牛郎來到河邊，看到7個美麗的仙女在洗澡，他就拿了其中最漂亮的一件絲綢走了。

One day,the magical cow kindly told him 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 .This evening the seven fairies left heaven to bathe . He took one of the beautiful silk dresses the fairies had left on the bank.

當仙女們從水裡出來後，最小的那個仙女找不到衣服了，所以其他的仙女們就回天上了，而沒有帶走她。

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.

後來，牛郎拿著衣服出來，像這個被落下的最小的仙女表白說：「我想和你在一起。」從此織女就愛上了牛郎，就悄悄的來到的人間嫁給了牛郎。夫妻倆一個種田，一個織布，生活十分美滿，兩年間織女生了一對兒女。

Then Niu Lang came out with the dress and asked the youngest fairy,Zhi Nu,to stay with him.Zhi Nu fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him.So Niu Lang farmed in the filed and the Zhi Nu wove at home . They lived a happy life and had a son and a daughter.

不幸的是，天帝很快發現了這件事，命令王母去把織女抓回來。在這頭神奇牛的幫助下，牛郎帶著兩個孩子飛到了天上。

Unfortunately,the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother to bring Zhi Nu back .With the help of magical cow ,Niu Lang flew to heaven with his son and daughter.

正在他要抓住織女的時候，王母摘下金發簪在空中劃了一下。一道銀河出現在了牛郎面前，從此牛郎和織女被這道銀河分隔兩地。

At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife ,the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke .One river appeared in front of Niu Lang . Niu Lang and Zhi Nu were separated on the two banks forever.

他們的忠誠感動了喜鵲，成千上萬的喜鵲在銀河上架起一座鵲橋，讓牛郎織女在橋上相會。王母沒有辦法，被他們感動了，只好允許每年的七月初七的晚上，讓牛郎和織女在鵲橋上相會一次。因此，牛郎和織女的約會就是「七夕節」（七七節）。

They loyalty to touched magpies ，so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).

E. 用英語來描述一下七夕節的來歷，要簡短，中文也要有

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 as offerings to Zhi Nu, the weaving maiden.

Praying to acquire high skills in needlecraft, 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.

農歷七月初七是中國唯一的一個關於愛情的節日。

與西方國家的情人節不同的是，人們並沒有那麼重視巧克力、鮮花和親吻。

相反，中國女孩准備水果、瓜香作為祭品送給織女，祈禱獲得高超的針線工藝，並希望找到令人滿意的丈夫。

晚上，人們坐在戶外看星星。中國的奶奶們會說，如果你站在葡萄樹下，你可能會無意中聽到織女和牛郎在說什麼。

(5)七夕節的來歷英語擴展閱讀：

七夕（中國傳統節日）一般指七夕節，又稱七巧節、七姐節、女兒節、乞巧節、七娘會、巧夕、牛公牛婆日、雙七等，是中國民間的傳統節日，為傳統意義上的七姐誕，因拜祭活動在七月七日晩上舉行，故名「七夕」。

拜七姐，祈福許願、乞求巧藝、坐看牽牛織女星、祈禱姻緣、儲七夕水等，是七夕的傳統習俗。經歷史發展，七夕被賦予了「牛郎織女」的美麗愛情傳說，因被賦予了與愛情有關的內涵，使其成為了象徵愛情的節日，從而被認為是中國最具浪漫色彩的傳統節日，在當代更是產生了「中國情人節」的文化含義。

七夕節既是拜七姐節日也是愛情節日，是一個以「牛郎織女」民間傳說為載體，以祈福、乞巧、愛情為主題，以女性為主體的綜合性節日。七夕的「牛郎織女」來源於人們對自然天象的崇拜，上古時代人們將天文星區與地理區域相互對應，這個對應關系就天文來說，稱作「分星」，就地理來說，稱作「分野」；牛郎織女星象對應地理分野的記載見於《漢書·地理志》：「粵地，牽牛、婺女之分野也」。

七夕節發源於中國，是世界上最早的愛情節日，在七夕節的眾多民俗當中，有些逐漸消失，但還有相當一部分被人們延續了下來。在部分受中華文化影響的亞洲國家如日本、朝鮮半島、越南等也有慶祝七夕的傳統。2006年5月20日，七夕節被中華人民共和國國務院列入第一批國家級非物質文化遺產名錄。

F. 情人節的來歷(英文)

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries.
關於情人節的起源有許多種說法。有關人士認為情人節是一個名叫桑特 瓦倫丁的人士發起的。他是羅馬人，因為拒絕放棄基督教而於公元前269年2月14日慘遭殺害，這一天也正好是全城盛行彩票抽獎的日子。

Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple ring the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.
而另外一種說法更具有傳奇色彩，相傳桑特 瓦倫丁曾留下一本日記給了獄卒的女兒，署名為「你的情人」，據說這名獄卒的女兒就是桑特 瓦倫丁的情人。還有其它的說法也頗為有趣。比如說有人認為在克勞迪亞斯君王統治時期，桑特 瓦侖丁曾經是一名神父，因為公然挑戰克勞迪亞斯君王的權威身陷囹圄。所以公元前496年羅馬教皇格萊西亞斯特意將2月14日作為一個特別的日子以紀念桑特 瓦倫丁。

Graally, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ball.
此後2月14日就成為了一個具有特殊意義的日子。在這天人們向自己心儀的人傳遞信息以示愛意。而理所當然的桑特 瓦侖丁也就成為了為戀愛中的男女們牽線搭橋的人。在2月14日這天人們會特意做詩或者用一些小禮物送給自己心愛的人。而且人們還會組織各種各樣的聚會來慶祝這個特殊的節日。

In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introced in the 1800's and now the date is very commercialised. The town of Loveland, Colorado, does a large post office business around February 14. The spirit of good continues as valentines are sent out with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school.
艾瑟 霍蘭德小姐是美國第一位因為發送情人節卡片而受到榮譽獎勵的人。早在19世紀初情人節就已處露商業化的端倪。而如今情人節已經完全被商業化了。 比如每當每年2月14日來臨的時候，一些城鎮如羅夫蘭、克羅拉多等，這里的人們都要派送大量的為情人節特備的卡片。 而在這天人們往往吟歌做詩並且把這些寫入卡片中送個自己喜歡的人以表達自己的愛意。而在學校里孩子門也喜歡互增賀卡來度過這個特殊的節日。久而久之就形成了一種習俗並且延續至今天。
