七夕的英语表达方式

ChineseValentine'sDayfallsontheseventhdayoftheseventhmonthofthelunarcalendar.InChina,thisdayisalsoknoperorofHeaven,theWeavingMaid,andanorphanedcowherdwereseparatedbytheEmperor;thegirlwasforcedtomovetothestarVegaandthecowherd,tothestarAltair.TheywereonlyallowedtomeetonthemagpiebridgeovertheMilkyWayonceayearonthedayofseventhdayofseventhlunarmonth-ChineseValentine'sDay.

　　七夕的`来历，是因为玉皇大帝的女儿织女爱上了穷小子牛郎，两人被强行分开，一年之中，只有七夕当晚才能在鹊桥上见面。

　　七夕关键词：

　　lunarcalendar：阴历，现在通行的阳历是solarcalendar。lunar表示“月亮的”，英文名Luna其实是月亮女神的名字，有取这个名字的女生是不是觉得很开心呢？

　　cowherd：放牛人，也即牛郎；同样的一个词是shepherd，羊倌，两个词都有一个-herd后缀，herd有“放牧人”的意思，不过通常都是作为后缀来构成“XX牧人”的词。

　　magpie：喜鹊，帮助牛郎织女见面的大功臣哦。虽然在七夕的传说中，喜鹊给情人们带来幸福，但是magpie这个词却有一个贬义的用法，就是用来形容话多的人：Shechatterslikeamagpie.她说起话来就没个完。
