七夕節（Double Seventh Festival）

纖雲弄巧，飛星傳恨，銀漢迢迢暗度。金風玉露一相逢，便勝卻人間無數。柔情似水，佳期如夢，忍顧鵲橋歸路！兩情若是久長時，又豈在朝朝暮暮！

Clouds float like works of art；

Stars shoot with grief at heart.

Across the Milky Way the Cowherd meets the Maid

When Autumn's Golden wind embraces Dew of Jades，

All the love scenes on earth，however many, fade

Their tender love flows like a stream；

This happy date seems but a dream.

Can they bear a separate homeward way?

If love between both sides can last for aye，

Why need they stay together night and day? （許淵衝 譯)

《Double Seventh Festival》（七夕節）：七夕節，又稱七巧節、七姐節、女兒節、乞巧節等，是中國民間的傳統節日。七夕被賦予了“牛郎織女”的美麗愛情傳說，使其成爲了象徵愛情的節日，從而被認爲是中國最具浪漫色彩的傳統節日，在當代更是產生了“中國情人節”的文化含義。相傳每年七月初七，牛郎織女會於天上的鵲橋相會。
