外國人七夕節是什麼意思

1、七夕的由來：如何用英語向老外介紹七夕

七夕情人節指的是農歷七月的第七個夜晚，這個節日是漢代傳統的民間節日。七夕的晚上不僅僅是傳說中的"牛郎"和"織女"一年一度相會的夜晚，同時也是為編制姑娘們祈求心靈手巧的好機會。因此，七夕節又叫"乞巧節"，"女兒節"。盡管七夕節不如其它節日那般流行，但是在中國，男女老少都對節日背後的故事相當熟悉。 The Double Seventh Festival refers to the seventh night of the seventh lunar month. It is a traditional folk festival of the Han people. This night is not only the time when the legendary Cowherd and the Girl Weaver are supposed to have their annual meeting, but also a good opportunity for women to pray for the Girl Weaver for the purpose of seeking dexterity. Therefore, this festival is also named " Maiden's Day", " Daughter's Day". The day is not as well-known as many other Chinese festivals. But almost everyone in China, young or old, is very familiar with the story behind it.

很久以前，有一個放牛娃名叫牛郎，父母早亡，穗辯飢只好跟著哥哥嫂嫂度日。然而，哥哥嫂子為人狠毒，經常虐待他。他們逼牛郎干苦灶掘活，不讓他吃飽睡好，最後又把他趕出了家門，牛郎除了身上的衣服和一頭老水牛外，一無所有。 Once upon a time, there lived a poor cowherd, Niulang, whose parents had died long before. He had to live together with his elder brother. Unfortunately, his brother and his sister-in -law were very mean and often treated Niulang very badly. They would not give him enough food to eat, and made him work so hard that he hardly had time to sleep. Finally, they kicked him of their home. All he had in the world were the clothes on his back and an old ox.

牛郎在山邊搭了間茅草屋，辛勤開墾，在岩石地上挖出了一片菜園，他常常飢腸轆轆，勞累不堪，但把老水牛照顧得好好的。一日，牛突然說話了，它告訴牛郎說自己前身是天上的金牛星，由於違反了天條把糧食種子撒到了人間，天帝將它貶到人間以猜返示懲罰。老牛說，過幾天，天上的仙女會下凡到離茅草屋不遠的聖池裡游泳，其中有一個勤勞善良、美麗賢惠的姑娘，名叫織女。織女是天宮中王母娘娘的外孫女，如果牛郎能趁仙女洗澡的時候把織女的衣服拿走，她就會留下來作他的妻子。 Niulang built a small thatched cottage on the side of a mountain. He cut and g and sweat until he had made a vegetable garden out of the rocky soil. He was often tired and hungry, but always found time to take good care of his old ox. One day, the old ox suddenly began to speak to him. It said that it used to be Taurus, the Golden-Ox Star, in the sky and had been banished by the Lord of Heaven to this world as punishment for its violation of heavenly rule by spreading grain seeds to this world. The old ox told Niulang that the goddesses of Heaven would take a bath in a sacred pond not far from his cottage a few days later. Among them was a beautiful, virtuous and instrious girl whose name is Zhinu, the Girl Weaver. Zhinu was a granddaughter of the King of the Heavenly Kingdom. If the Cowherd took the advantage of their bath in the pond to take away her clothes, she would stay and become his wife.

到了那天，牛郎藏在高大的蘆葦叢里等著。老牛說的話顯靈了，仙女們很快就到了，她們脫掉絲袍跳進水裡。牛郎偷偷地爬出來，拿起織女的衣服跑開了。仙女們嚇著了，趕快上岸，穿起衣服跑開了，把織女一個人留在後頭。牛郎跑回來，把衣服還給了織女，他對織女一見鍾情。兩人相對而視，織女對牛郎說要做他的妻子。 When the day came, Niulang hid in the tall reeds by the pond and waited for the young goddesses. They soon came, just as the ox said they would. They took off their silk robes and jumped into the clear water. Niulang crept out of his hiding place, picked up Zhinu's clothes and ran away. Her companions were so frightened that they jumped out , dressed as quickly as they could and flew away, leaving the Girl Weaver behind. Niulang returned and gave her back her clothes. He had adored her from the first sight he saw her. They looked into each other's eyes. The Girle Weaver told the poor Cowherd that she would be his wife.

兩人結婚後，牛郎耕田種地，織女紡線織衣，恩恩愛愛。織女成了遠近的名人，她心靈手巧，養蠶紡紗，編錦織緞，樣樣精通。三年後，侄女生了對龍鳳胎，男孩兒叫"金哥"，女孩兒叫"玉妹"。小兩口日子過得幸福美滿，牛郎織女滿以為能夠終身相守，白頭到老。 After their marriage, the Cowherd ploughed and the Girl Weaver wove and they loved each other. The Girl Weaver became famous far and near for her dexterity in raising silkworms, reeling and weaving exquisite silks and satins. Three years later, Zhinu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. They named the boy " Brother Gold" and the girl " Sister Jade". The couple were overjoyed with the additions to their family and believed that they would remain a devoted couple to the end of their lives.

一天，牛快死了，臨死前說對小兩口說，將它的皮剝下來放好，有朝一日，披上它，就可飛上天去。牛死後，牛郎心疼地剝下牛皮，小心翼翼地收藏起來。 One day, the ox was dying. Before it closed its eyes for the last time, it told the young couple to skin him and keep its hide after its death. It also told them that its hide would enablr a man to fly even to Heaven. After the old ox died, the young couple reluctantly skinned it and stored it with meticulous care.

這時候，玉皇大帝和王母娘娘聽說孫女到了人間，還結婚生子，非常生氣，遂下令天神盡快把織女捉回來。 Meanwhile, the King and Queen of Heaven found out that their granddaughter had gone to the world of Man and taken a husband. They flew into a temper. They ordered a god to bring the Girl Weaver back as soon as possible.

一日，牛郎從地里回來看見孩子們坐在地上哭，忙到織布機前看，沒人。孩子說，有個老太太把媽媽抓走了。牛郎記起了老牛對他說的話，他把孩子放到兩個籮筐里，披上牛皮，挑起籮筐，突然，他輕如浮雲，飛向天空。眼看快追上了，王母娘娘聽到了小孩的哭聲，她朝後一望，從頭上取下金簪，在身後劃了一道，天空中立馬出現一條奔騰的河，這條河就叫天河。天河太寬，河水湍急，牛郎飛不過去，只能看著織女飛走，父子三人哭得揪心裂膽，天帝見此情景，大為感動，遂允許牛郎織女每年農歷七月初七在天河上鵲橋相會。 Niulang came back from the field one day to find his two children sitting on the ground and crying. He found the seat at the loom empty. The two children told him that an old lady had just taken their mother away. Niulang remembered what the old ox had told him, he carried his two children in two baskets on a pole and put on the magic hide. Immediately, he got as light as a cloud and flew up into the sky. He had almost caught up with the Queen and his wife when the Queen heard the crying of his children. Looking back, she pulled off a gold clasp from her hair and drew a line behind her. A raging torrent immediately appeared in the sky. This is the so-called River of Heaven. The Cowherd and his children could not get past this wide and swollen river. Heartbroken, he and his children could only look and weep bitterly. Moved by their mournful crying, the King of Heaven decided to allow the separated couple to meet on a bridge of magpies on the seventh night of the seventh Lunar month each year.

這對可憐的夫妻變成了星星，牛郎變成了牽牛星，織女成了織女星，把他們分開的河就是銀河。 The poor couple each became a star, the Cowherd, Altair and the Girl Weaver, Vega. The wide river that kept them apart is known as the Milky Way.

這個悲楚動人的故事一代代相傳。據說，七月初七那天，喜鵲很少，因為他們都要飛到銀河上為牛郎織女搭起約會的橋。由於牛郎和織女在上面站的時間太長了，次日，這些忠實的喜鵲頭都變禿了。 This sad love story has passed from generation to generation. It is well known that very few magpies are seen on the Double-Seventh Day. This is because they all fly to the Milky Way to form a bridge for the meeting of the Cowherd and the Girl Weaver. And the next day the magpies' heads are bald because the Cowherd and the Girl Weaver walked and stood too long on the heads of their loyal feathered friends.

在中國，許多人把"七夕節"當成本族的情人節。 The Double-Seventh Day in China is considered by many the Chinese Valentine's Day.

2、什麼是七夕節英語？

七夕節用英語可以有以下多個說法：

1.Magpie Festival （喜鵲節，源於七夕節傳說牛郎織女鵲橋相會）

2.Double Seventh Day/Festival（七夕節為七月初七，直接將節日日期翻譯出來是節日翻譯的一芹沖禪種）

3.Chinese Valentine's Day（西方情人節（Valentine's Day）故七夕節被稱為中國情人節）

4.Qixi Festival（直接音譯）

具體使用哪一種譯文，可根據使用情景進行選擇。選擇最符合判明情景氛圍的表達方式，更能傳達出七夕節的浪漫愛嫌塵情主題。

3、七夕節和外國的情人節有什麼不同的呢？

中國七夕和外國情人節區別

1、時間不同：西方情人節2月14日，中國七夕是農歷回7月初七。
2、表達答方式不同：西方的「情人節」坦率、熱情、赤裸裸，有情人的節日，真真切切「Iloveyou」；中國「七夕節」，七月初七，表示兩情相悅，內涵不露骨，使用了古人慣用的隱喻表達方式。
3、饋贈物品不同：西方情人節注重贈送情物，每到「情人節」，玫瑰花、巧克力、蛋糕、衣物、貴重首飾等，成為情人們相互贈與的「情物」。注意，這里的「情物」是指有價之物，表明情是有價的。中國的「七夕節」，傳統的情人贈送禮物是表達情意的信物，是一絲一帕、一扇一畫，講究的自己親手縫制、綉描、撰寫、製作。
4、寓意不同。西方情人節突出了「情人」二字，表現的是火熱的情慾，自然的流露，是自然情感和慾望的流露和表達。中國「七夕節」，反映的是別離後相聚和初開情竇人的相思、想念、相惜、相憐，屬於屬精神層面的活動。

4、西方情人節與中國七夕節的共同點及不同點

共同點就是都是情人節，是情人之間的節日，紀念日，在這兩個節日男女朋友可以一起約會、逛街、遊玩等。

不同點就是一個是西方的節日而一個是中國的百節日，日期也不一樣。西方的「情人節」坦率、熱情、赤裸裸，有情人的節日情人節，真真切切「I love you」；中國的「七夕節」，雖然也是表達情人相聚意味， 七月初七，表示兩情相悅，古人慣用的隱喻表達方式。

(4)外國人七夕節是什麼意思擴展資料：

七夕節既是拜祭七姐的節日，也是愛情的節日，是一個以「牛郎織女」民間傳說為載體，以祈福、乞巧、愛情為主題，以女性為主體的綜合性節日。

七夕的「牛郎織女」來源於人們對自然天象的崇拜，上古時代人們將天文星區與地理區域相互對應，這個對應關系就天文來說，稱作「分星」，就地理來說，稱作「分野」。相傳每年七月初七，牛郎織女會於天上的鵲橋相會。

5、外國人怎麼過中國七夕節？外國的七夕風俗有哪些？

外國人怎麼過中國七夕節？外國的七夕風俗。七夕，大家知道是中國的情人節，是中國人過的節日。其實不然，在這中西文化漸漸融洽的當代，外國人也都會過中國七夕情人節了。小編告訴你日本的七夕風俗 日本在明治維新之後便把農歷七月初七改為公歷七月七日慶祝。陰歷的七月七日被稱為「舊七夕」。 竹枝上的願望 日本自江戶時代起，在七夕這天就有一種特殊風俗。日本人會把自己的願望寫在帶一根線的紙簽上，然後把寫好的這張紙簽系在竹枝上，通過這樣去祈禱自己的願望會實現。 據說一開始，是孩子們想利用這個節日向織女祈求一雙巧手。傳說中，織女心靈手巧，七夕這天她與牛郎夫妻相會，心情自然大好，這時候向她祈求，願望實現的可能性就很大了。不過，隨著時間的推進，織女的責任越來越大，她不僅要負責賜給孩子們巧手，還要負責滿足他們的各種願望：如爸爸不要再那麼嚴厲，媽媽多買些零食等等。 朝鮮的七夕風俗 孩子們以牛郎和織女為素材作詩。 向北斗七星祈求長壽與幸福。 蜘蛛網占卜法。韓國的七夕風俗跟中國的有一些不同。在韓國，織女是在天上管針線活的神，因此，婦女會向織女祈求賜予自己優秀的手藝。 七夕當天早晨，婦女們把香瓜、黃瓜等瓜果放在桌子上磕頭祈求，讓女人們織布的手藝越來越好。一段時間以後，如果桌上擺的飲食上結上蜘蛛網的話，就認為是天仙答應了她們的願望。也有另一種說法，婦女在醬缸台上擺放早晨擔的第一桶井水，在盤子里裝著灰抹平放在上面，祈求自己有針線活的手藝。第二天如果灰上有痕跡，就代表祈求實現了。 中國七夕情人節已經漸漸被國外認可。外國也有他們自己的習俗了。

6、中國七夕和外國情人節有什麼區別？

一、來歷不同

情人節：情人節又叫聖瓦倫丁節或聖華倫泰節，即每年的2月14日，是西方國家的傳統節日之一，起激譽源於基督教。

七夕：是一個以「牛郎織女」民間傳說為載體，以愛情為主題，以女性為主體的綜合性節日。

二、習俗不同

情人節：國外的男女在情人節一天互送禮物、花、巧克力、賀卡等用以表達愛意或友好。

七夕：七夕夜晚坐看牽牛織女星、訪閨中密友、拜祭織女、祈禱姻緣、切磋女紅、乞巧祈福等等，是中國逗鄭民間的傳統七夕習俗。

三、時間不同

情人節是公歷2月14日，七夕是農歷七月七。

四、叫法不同

情人節：聖明指段瓦倫丁節或聖華倫泰節。

七夕：又名七巧節、乞巧節、雙七、七姐誕等。

七夕節的傳說：

傳說古代天帝的孫女織女擅長織布，每天給天空織彩霞，她討厭這枯燥的生活，就偷偷下到凡間，私自嫁給河西的牛郎，過上男耕女織的生活，此事惹怒了天帝，把織女捉回天宮，責令他們分離，只允許他們每年的七月七日在鵲橋上相會一次。

他們堅貞的愛情感動了喜鵲，無數喜鵲飛來，用身體搭成一道跨越天河的彩橋，讓牛郎織女在天河上相會。

7、七夕節到底是中國的節日還是外國人的節日

七夕節是中國的節日，但是全世界好多地方都在過。
七夕源於中國漢朝時期，後因各種原因傳入日本，朝鮮，越南等地。
七夕節原名「乞巧節」，相傳農歷七月七日夜婦女在庭院向織女星乞求智巧，故稱為「乞巧」。其起源於對自然的崇拜及婦女穿針乞巧，後被賦予了牛郎織女的傳說使其成為象徵愛情的節日。
在中國七夕節，是情人節；而在日本等地，仍然保留原來的節日禮俗，祈求姑娘們能擁有一身好手藝。

8、中國情人節是幾月幾號，外國情人節又是幾月幾號

中國情人節其實就是七夕節，之所以七夕節又被稱為中國的情人節和牛郎織女的故事有關，後人為了紀念他們這一對相愛卻不能相守的戀人就將每年的農歷七月初七這一天定為七夕節。七夕乞巧是七夕主要的習俗活動，乞巧活動的方式大多是姑娘們穿針引線，做些乞巧的小物品，再擺上些瓜果，賽乞巧，各個地區的乞巧方式不盡相同，但各有各的趣味。

西方情人節是每年的2月14日，傳說情人節起源於公元三世紀：古羅馬暴君為了徵召更多士兵，禁止婚禮，一名叫瓦倫丁(Valentine)的神父不理禁令，秘密替人主持婚禮，結果被收監，最後處死，死期就是2月14日。為紀念Valentine的勇敢精神，人們將每年的2月14日定為Valentine的紀念日。因此成了後來的「情人節」。

9、七夕節是國外的節日嗎?

<

10、七夕節英語是什麼?

七夕節的英語表達：

1、Chinese Valentine's Day

西方情人節（Valentine's Day）為公歷2月14日，故七夕節也被稱為中國的「情人節」。

2、Double Seventh Day/the Seventh Day of the Seventh Lunar Month

直接將節日日期譯出是節日名稱翻譯的方法之一，七月初七是七夕節。

3、Magpie Festival

magpie有「喜鵲」的意思，傳說中牛郎織女每年七月初七在鵲橋相會。

4、Qixi Festival

直接音譯的處理方法也偶爾可見。

由來

「七夕」最早來源於人們對自然的崇拜。從歷史文獻上看，至少在三四千年前，隨著人們對天文的認識和紡織技術的產生，有關牽牛星織女星的記載就有了。

人們對星星的崇拜遠不止是牽牛星和織女星，他們認為東西南北各有七顆代表方位的星星，合稱二十八宿，其中以北斗七星最亮，可供夜間辨別方向。

北斗七星的第一顆星叫魁星，又稱魁首。後來，有了科舉制度，中狀元叫「大魁天下士」，讀書人把七夕叫「魁星節」，又稱「曬書節」，保持了最早七夕來源於星宿崇拜的痕跡。
