七夕的英语怎么说

七夕情人节 大家都喜欢用 Chinese Valentine\'s Day 然而我的外国朋友常这样对我讲: Happy Night of Sevens! 七夕节 快乐! 对女孩子可以这样问候: Happy Festival to Plead for Skills! 乞巧节快乐! 相关资料: The festival has its origin from a romantic tragedy. As the story goes, once there was a cowherd, Niulang, who lived with his elder brother and sister-in-law. But she disliked and abused him, and the boy was forced to leave home with only an old cow for company. The cow, however, was a former god who had violated imperial rules and was sent to earth in bovine form. One day the cow led Niulang to a lake where fairies took a bath on earth. Among them was Zhinu, the most beautiful fairy and a skilled seamstress.The two fell in love at first sight and were soon married. They had a son and daughter and their happy life was held up as an example for hundreds of years in China.Yet in the eyes of the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Deity in Taoism, marriage between a mortal and fairy was strictly forbidden. He sent the empress to fetch Zhinu.

七夕节用英语可以有以下多个说法：

1.Magpie Festival （喜鹊节，源于七夕节传说牛郎织女鹊桥相会）

2.Double Seventh Day/Festival（七夕节为七月初七，直接将节日日期翻译出来是节日翻译的一种）

3.Chinese Valentine's Day（西方情人节（Valentine's Day）故七夕节被称为中国情人节）

4.Qixi Festival（直接音译）

具体使用哪一种译文，可根据使用情景进行选择。选择最符合情景氛围的表达方式，更能传达出七夕节的浪漫爱情主题。

七夕节的英语表达：

1、Chinese Valentine's Day

西方情人节（Valentine's Day）为公历2月14日，故七夕节也被称为中国的“情人节”。

2、Double Seventh Day/the Seventh Day of the Seventh Lunar Month

直接将节日日期译出是节日名称翻译的方法之一，七月初七是七夕节。

3、Magpie Festival

magpie有“喜鹊”的意思，传说中牛郎织女每年七月初七在鹊桥相会。

4、Qixi Festival

直接音译的处理方法也偶尔可见。

由来

“七夕”最早来源于人们对自然的崇拜。从历史文献上看，至少在三四千年前，随着人们对天文的认识和纺织技术的产生，有关牵牛星织女星的记载就有了。

人们对星星的崇拜远不止是牵牛星和织女星，他们认为东西南北各有七颗代表方位的星星，合称二十八宿，其中以北斗七星最亮，可供夜间辨别方向。

北斗七星的第一颗星叫魁星，又称魁首。后来，有了科举制度，中状元叫“大魁天下士”，读书人把七夕叫“魁星节”，又称“晒书节”，保持了最早七夕来源于星宿崇拜的痕迹。
