原文：自上世紀90年代后期起，七夕節(jié)(the Double SeventhFestival )開始被稱為“中國的情人節(jié)”。這個節(jié)日可以追溯到漢朝，當時對戀人、女孩都是個特殊的日子。 這天，女孩會舉行儀式，向織女(Zhinv)乞求智慧、技藝和美滿婚姻，所以七夕節(jié)還被稱為“乞巧節(jié)(the Begging for SkillsFestival)”。如今，一些傳統(tǒng)習俗已經弱化。人們現(xiàn)在把七夕節(jié)當作浪漫的情人節(jié)來慶祝，尤其是在年輕人中間。
參考譯文：The Double Seventh Festival
The Double Seventh Festival has been called Chinese Valentine’s Day since the late 1990s. The festival can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. It was then a special day not only for lovers, but also for girls.Girls would hold a ceremony to beg Zhinv for wisdom, skills and a satisfying marriage. So it is also called “the Begging for Skills Festival”.Today some traditional customs have been weakened. Now the festival is celebrated as a romantic valentine’s day, particularly among young people.
