去年的中秋节,小耐姐帮助各位美食达人搜集了不同馅儿的月饼英文表达,不至于在节日当天被问到“what is your favorite”的时候,只能回答“traditional mooncake”。
今年,贴心的小耐姐可以让你在和家人团聚吃月饼的时候,讲一讲中国的中秋文化;更可以跟外国友人分享一下你的假期。Come on!小耐姐帮大家打个样儿~~
The Mid-Autumn is a very important Chinese festival. It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month,usually in September or October.
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.
After dinner, people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round. Children will play with their own toy lanterns happily.
At night the moon is usually round and bright. People can enjoy the moon while eating mooncakes.
It is said "Hou Yi" missed his wife, so he made mooncakes. It looks like the moon. There are many kinds of mooncakes. They are small round cakes with meat, nuts or something sweet inside. Eating mooncakes has been our custom.
除了以上,如果你想另加些自己的风格,小耐姐还准备了中秋节相关词汇。可以佯装一下中秋节“砖家”外,还可以考考身边的小伙伴们。
