七夕节（Double Seventh Festival）

纤云弄巧，飞星传恨，银汉迢迢暗度。金风玉露一相逢，便胜却人间无数。柔情似水，佳期如梦，忍顾鹊桥归路！两情若是久长时，又岂在朝朝暮暮！

Clouds float like works of art；

Stars shoot with grief at heart.

Across the Milky Way the Cowherd meets the Maid

When Autumn's Golden wind embraces Dew of Jades，

All the love scenes on earth，however many, fade

Their tender love flows like a stream；

This happy date seems but a dream.

Can they bear a separate homeward way?

If love between both sides can last for aye，

Why need they stay together night and day? （许渊冲 译)

《Double Seventh Festival》（七夕节）：七夕节，又称七巧节、七姐节、女儿节、乞巧节等，是中国民间的传统节日。七夕被赋予了“牛郎织女”的美丽爱情传说，使其成为了象征爱情的节日，从而被认为是中国最具浪漫色彩的传统节日，在当代更是产生了“中国情人节”的文化含义。相传每年七月初七，牛郎织女会于天上的鹊桥相会。
