七夕的由來英語作文

　　七夕情人節(jié)指的是農(nóng)歷七月的第七個夜晚，這個節(jié)日是漢代傳統(tǒng)的民間節(jié)日。七夕的晚上不僅僅是傳說中的."牛郎"和"織女"一年一度相會的夜晚，同時也是為編制姑娘們祈求心靈手巧的好機(jī)會。因此，七夕節(jié)又叫"乞巧節(jié)"，"女兒節(jié)"。盡管七夕節(jié)不如其它節(jié)日那般流行，但是在中國，男女老少都對節(jié)日背后的故事相當(dāng)熟悉。 The Double Seventh Festival refers to the seventh night of the seventh lunar month. It is a traditional folk festival of the Han people. This night is not only the time when the legendary Cowherd and the Girl Weaver are supposed to have their annual meeting, but also a good opportunity for women to pray for the Girl Weaver for the purpose of seeking dexterity. Therefore, this festival is also named " Maiden's Day", " Daughter's Day". The day is not as well-known as many other Chinese festivals. But almost everyone in China, young or old, is very familiar with the story behind it.

　　很久以前，有一個放牛娃名叫牛郎，父母早亡，只好跟著哥哥嫂嫂度日。然而，哥哥嫂子為人狠毒，經(jīng)常對待他。他們逼牛郎干苦活，不讓他吃飽睡好，最后又把他趕出了家門，牛郎除了身上的衣服和一頭老水牛外，一無所有。 Once upon a time, there lived a poor cowherd, Niulang, whose parents had died long before. He had to live together with his elder brother. Unfortunately, his brother and his sister-in -law were very mean and often treated Niulang very badly. They would not give him enough food to eat, and made him work so hard that he hardly had time to sleep. Finally, they kicked him of their home. All he had in the world were the clothes on his back and an old ox.

　　牛郎在山邊搭了間茅草屋，辛勤開墾，在巖石地上挖出了一片菜園，他常常饑腸轆轆，勞累不堪，但把老水牛照顧得好好的。一日，牛突然說話了，它告訴牛郎說自己前身是天上的金牛星，由于違反了天條把糧食種子撒到了人間，天帝將它貶到人間以示懲罰。老牛說，過幾天，天上的仙女會下凡到離茅草屋不遠(yuǎn)的圣池里游泳，其中有一個勤勞善良、美麗賢惠的姑娘，名叫織女。
