明月几时有，把酒问青天？又到了中秋佳节！每年农历八月十五日，是传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为中秋。
说到中秋，赏月，吃月饼就是必不可少的了，自古以来，观赏满月就是中国人庆祝中秋节的方式之一，人们认为中秋的月亮是一年中最亮、最圆的。那么用英语怎么表达我们说的“中秋”，“月饼”，“赏月”等词呢？
中秋节：Mid-Autumn Festival（或者是Moon Festival“”）
赏月：Appreciating the Moon / watch the moon / admire the full moon / enjoy the glorious full moon
月饼：mooncake（月饼有很多馅哦！）
四大种类：
广式月饼（Cantonese-style mooncake）——流传最广
苏式月饼（Suzhou-style mooncake）——宫廷遗风
京式月饼（Beijing-style mooncake）——小巧精致
滇式月饼（Yunnan-style mooncake）——火腿飘香
各种口味：
Sweet bean paste（豆沙）
Jujube paste（枣泥）
Lotus seed paste （莲蓉）
Five kernel / five-nuts mooncakes （五仁）
注：“五仁月饼”中的“五仁”是指花生（peanut），核桃（walnut seed），瓜子（watermelon seed），杏仁（almond），松子（pine nut）。

美景在旁，怎能不抒发一下自己的情怀呢？欣赏一下苏轼的《水调歌头》：
《水调歌头》
明月几时有？把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。起舞弄清影，何似在人间。
转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。不应有恨，何事长向别时圆？人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。
林语堂译作：
How rare the moon, so round and clear!
With cup in hand, I ask of the blue sky,
"I do not know in the celestial sphere
What name this festive night goes by?"
I want to fly home, riding the air,
But fear the ethereal cold up there,
The jade and crystal mansions are so high!
Dancing to my shadow,
I feel no longer the mortal tie.
She rounds the vermilion tower,
Stoops to silk-pad doors,
Shines on those who sleepless lie.
Why does she, bearing us no grudge,
Shine upon our parting, reunion deny?
But rare is perfect happiness--
The moon does wax, the moon does wane,
And so men meet and say goodbye.
I only pray our life be long,
And our souls together heavenward fly!
但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。
普大祝童鞋们中秋节快乐！
