七夕節(jié)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。

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.
