中秋節(jié)初中英語(yǔ)作文：中秋節(jié)的傳說(shuō)（中英對(duì)照）
Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month，it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest. There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once，scorching the planet with their heat. It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward，the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality，but she warned him that he must use it wisely. Hou Yi ignored her advice and，corrupted by fame and fortune，became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Er，his beautiful wife， could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon，the Moon Fairy.
The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty，an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zang was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message. When the cake was opened and the message read，an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon，which，some say，explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. Mooncakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the bakery and the type of filling used. Some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard，but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. Mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea，especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea，which aids the digestion.
中秋節(jié)吃月餅就像西方人圣誕節(jié)吃百果餡餅一樣，是必不可少的。圓圓的月餅中通常包有香甜的蓮子餡或是紅豆餡，餡的中央還會(huì)加上一個(gè)金黃的咸鴨蛋黃來(lái)代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋節(jié)慶祝的主題。每年農(nóng)歷8月15日人們一起慶祝中秋，據(jù)說(shuō)這一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圓的。
關(guān)于吃月餅這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)的來(lái)歷有兩個(gè)傳說(shuō)。一個(gè)是唐朝的神話故事，說(shuō)的是當(dāng)時(shí)地球被10個(gè)太陽(yáng)包圍著。有一天10個(gè)太陽(yáng)同時(shí)出現(xiàn)在天空中，巨大的熱量幾乎把地球烤焦了。多虧一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9個(gè)太陽(yáng)，地球才被保住。為了獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)后羿，王母娘娘賜給后羿一種長(zhǎng)生不老藥，但是王母警告他必須正當(dāng)使用。然而后羿沒(méi)有理會(huì)王母娘娘的警告，他被名利沖昏了頭腦，變成了一個(gè)暴君。后羿美麗的妻子嫦娥對(duì)他的暴行再也不能袖手旁觀，于是她偷走了后羿的長(zhǎng)生不老藥，飛到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。從此就有了關(guān)于月宮仙子嫦娥，這個(gè)月亮上的美麗女人的傳說(shuō)。
第二個(gè)傳說(shuō)講的是在元朝，朱元璋領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的起義軍計(jì)劃起義來(lái)擺脫蒙古族的統(tǒng)治。他們用月餅來(lái)傳遞密信。掰開(kāi)月餅就可以找到里面的密信，起義軍通過(guò)這種方式成功的發(fā)動(dòng)了起義，趕走了元朝的統(tǒng)治者。這場(chǎng)起義發(fā)生在八月十五之時(shí)，于是中秋節(jié)吃月餅的習(xí)俗便在民間傳開(kāi)來(lái)。
關(guān)于中秋節(jié)的來(lái)歷中英文對(duì)照
"Zhong Qiu Jie", which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon - an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns.
農(nóng)歷八月十五日是中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日——中秋節(jié)。在這天，每個(gè)家庭都團(tuán)聚在一起，一家人共同觀賞象征豐裕、和-諧和幸運(yùn)的圓月。此時(shí)，大人們吃著美味的月餅，品著熱騰騰的香茗，而孩子們則在一旁拉著兔子燈盡情玩耍。
During the Yuan Dynasty (A.D.1206-1368) China was ruled by the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Sung Dynasty (A.D.960-1279) were unhappy at submitting to foreign rule, and set how to coordinate the rebellion without it being discovered. The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon Festival was drawing near, ordered the ma-ki-ng of special cakes. Packed into each mooncake was a message with the outline of the attack. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the government. What followed was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368-1644). Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event. 在元朝，蒙古人統(tǒng)治中國(guó)。前朝統(tǒng)治者們不甘心政權(quán)落入外族之手，于是密謀策劃聯(lián)合起義。正值中秋將近，起義首領(lǐng)就命令部下制作一種特別的月餅，把起義計(jì)劃藏在每個(gè)月餅里。到中秋那天，起義軍獲取勝利，推翻了元朝，建立明朝。今天，人們吃月餅紀(jì)念此事。 The round moon cakes, measuring about three inches in diameter and one and a half inches in thickness, resembled Western fruitcakes in taste and consistency. These cakes were made with melon seeds(西瓜子), lotus
seeds(蓮籽), almonds(杏仁), minced meats, bean paste, orange peels and lard(豬油). A golden yolk(蛋黃) from a salted duck egg was placed at the
center of each cake, and the golden brown crust was decorated with symbols of the festival. Traditionally, thirteen moon cakes were piled in a pyramid to symbolize the thirteen moons of a "complete year," that is, twelve moons plus one intercalary(閏月的) moon. uUlsda E

According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it. One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. The earth was saved when a strong archer, Hou Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns. Yi stole the elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule, but his wife, Chang-E drank it. Thus started the legend of the lady in the moon to whom young Chinese girls would pray at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
傳說(shuō)古時(shí)候，天空曾有10個(gè)太陽(yáng)。一天，這10個(gè)太陽(yáng)同時(shí)出現(xiàn)，酷熱難擋。弓箭手后翌射下了其中9個(gè)太陽(yáng)，拯救了地球上的生靈。他偷了長(zhǎng)生不死藥，卻被妻子嫦娥偷偷喝下。此后，每年中秋月圓之時(shí)，少女們都要向月宮仙女嫦娥祈福的傳說(shuō)便流傳開(kāi)來(lái)。 In the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at "Zhong Qiu Jie" was given a new significance. The story goes that when Zhu Yuan Zhang was plotting to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty started by the Mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the Mid-Autumn mooncakes. Zhong Qiu Jie is hence also a commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han people.
在14世紀(jì)，中秋節(jié)吃月餅又被賦予了一層特殊的含義。傳說(shuō)在朱元璋帶兵起義推翻元朝時(shí)，將士們?cè)崖?lián)絡(luò)信藏在月餅里。因此，中秋節(jié)后來(lái)也成為漢人推翻蒙古人統(tǒng)治的紀(jì)念日。 字串7
