英语中的中国传统节日—-中秋节

The Mid-autumn is a very important Chinese festival. It falls on the 15th of August in the Lunar Calendar. A few days before the festival, everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful. Lanterns will be hung in front of the house.

On the evening there will be a big family dinner. People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the union.

At night the moon is usually round and bright. So after dinner，people can enjoy the moon while eating moon-cakes，which are the special food for this festival. At this time, some old people would like to tell many past events and tell the children a story about a beautiful woman，Chang er，and her rabbit on the moon . The children really believe that there is a rabbit on the moon. They hope to go to the moon and have a look one day.

What a wonderful festival!

中秋节

中秋节是中国一个很重要的节日，在八月十五号。在节日来临的前几天，家庭中的每一个人都帮着打扫房子，把房子装扮得漂漂亮亮的，灯笼挂在屋前。

晚上，一家人会有一顿美餐，离家在外工作的人也要回来团圆。晚上，月亮又圆又大，因此，一家人在一起赏月，同时吃着中秋节特别的食物：月饼。这个时候 ，一些老人会讲述许多古老的故事和月亮上美丽的嫦娥和玉兔的故事。孩子们信以为真，他们真想有一天登上月球看个究竟。

中秋是个美好的节日啊!
