        　　七夕节(Double Seventh Festival)是中国最具浪漫色彩的传统节日。每年农历(lunar
calendar)七月初七就是七夕节，亦称“乞巧节”。七夕节起源于中国古代牛郎(Cowherd)和织女(Weaver
Maid)的爱情神话，他们的故事感动了一代又一代的中国人。许多有情男女会在七夕的晚上祈祷自己的姻缘美满，期望“有情人终成眷属”。近年来，越来越多的都市青年男女把这个节日当作“中国情人节”(Chinese
Valentine's Day)
        　　The Double Seventh Festival is the most romantic traditional Chinese
festival. Also known as "Qiqiao Festival" it falls annually on the 7th day of
the 7th month of the lunar calendar. The festival came from an ancient Chinese
romantic fairy tale about the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid, which has deeply
moved generations of Chinese people. Many men and women in love usually pray for
a happy marriage on that night, hoping for "a happy ending for true love". In
recent yean, more and more youths in cities celebrate the Double Seventh
Festival as Chinese Valentine's Day.
