每年农历七月初七是中国的情人节(Valentine's Day )。关于这个节日有一个美丽的传说:王母娘娘(the Queen of Heaven )最年幼的女儿“织女”爱上了人间的男子“牛郎”,王母反对仙女与凡人相爱,就用银河(Milky Way)将他们隔开。但牛郎和织女的爱情感动了人间的喜鹊(magpie),每年七月初七这一天,喜鹊会搭起一座鹊桥让这对情侣相见。而如今在这一天,年轻的女子常在月下向织女祈祷,期望得到美满的姻缘。

参考答案:

  The seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is Chinese Valentine's Day. There is a beautiful legend about this festival: Zhi Nu, the youngest daughter of the Queen of Heaven, fell in love with Niu Lang, a cowherd on earth. Zhi Nu's mother was opposed to the love between a fairy and a human, so she separated the two lovers with the Milky Way. However, their love story moved the magpies on earth. Those magpies gather together annually on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month to form a “magpie bridge”,so that the couple can meet each other once in a year. Today, on this day, young girls often pray to Zhi Nu in the moonlight, wishing for a happy marriage.
