汉字 #

七夕节的晚上，天气很好。丽丽和小明在院子里放了一张小桌子，上面有水果和丽丽做的手工。星星很亮，月亮也很美。

丽丽对小明说：“我来讲牛郎和织女的故事。”小明高兴地点点头。

丽丽说：“很久以前，牛郎和织女相爱了。但王母娘娘用银河分开了他们。每年七月初七，喜鹊搭桥让他们见面。”

小明听完，看着天空问：“丽丽，我们能看见喜鹊桥吗？”

丽丽笑着说：“看不见真的，但我们做纸喜鹊装饰院子，许愿吧。”

他们找彩纸和剪刀做纸喜鹊。丽丽教小明折，折了红、蓝、黄很多只，用线挂在树枝上。

风来，纸喜鹊摇摆像在飞。丽丽许愿：“希望家人幸福，手艺好。”小明也学着她许愿：“希望我们快乐，学习进步。”

他们坐着吃水果，看纸喜鹊和星星。丽丽说：“今天真美好。”小明说：“是啊，很幸福。”

夜深了，他们收拾好回屋里。小明把一只纸喜鹊放枕边。这个七夕节，他们会记得。

English Translation #

On the evening of Qixi Festival, the weather was very pleasant. Lili and Xiaoming set up a small table in the courtyard, with fruits and Lili’s handmade needlework on it. The stars were bright, and the moon was beautiful too.

Lili said to Xiaoming, “Let me tell you the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.” Xiaoming nodded happily.

Lili said, “Long ago, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl fell in love. But the Queen Mother of Heaven used the Milky Way to separate them. Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, magpies build a bridge so they can meet.”

After listening, Xiaoming looked at the sky and asked, “Lili, can we see the magpie bridge?”

Lili smiled and said, “We can’t see a real one, but let’s make paper magpies to decorate the courtyard and make a wish.”

They found colored paper and scissors and made paper magpies. Lili taught Xiaoming how to fold them. They folded many red, blue, and yellow ones, and hung them on the tree branches with thread.

When the wind blew, the paper magpies swayed as if flying. Lili made a wish: “I wish for a happy family and good needlework skills.” Xiaoming imitated her and made a wish too: “I wish for happiness and progress in my studies.”

They sat eating fruit, watching the paper magpies and the stars. Lili said, “Today is really beautiful.” Xiaoming said, “Yes, very happy.”

The night deepened, they tidied up and went back inside. Xiaoming placed a favorite paper magpie by his pillow. They will remember this Qixi Festival.
