祝大家国庆中秋快乐!
不好意思地说,国庆我们这边没有气氛,不过中秋的气氛是满浓的。
今天我也带学生们做了纸龙,折纸扇等手工活动以庆祝中秋。还讲了关于中秋的传说故事,只是我的版本比较适合小孩子。贴给大家看看我的英文嫦娥故事,希望不要雷到大家。。。。;P
The Legend of Chinese Moon Festival
It is said that long ago there used to be 10 suns in the sky. Each day, one of the suns would take over the sky. But one day, unexpectedly, all 10 suns simultaneously appeared in the sky, which instantly dried the crops and caused disaster to the people on earth.
Hou Yi, a local archer, had great sympathy for people's sufferings from the blistering weather and decided to help them out. Houyi climbed up to the top of Kunlun Mountains and shot down the suns leaving only one to benefit people. After he shot down the sun, Hou Yi became a hero who was revered by local people.
Later, Hou Yi married a beautiful girl—Chang'e. The young couple lived a happy and sweet life.
Hou Yi was so famous for his perfect archery skills that he had a lot of apprentices, including the unrighteous Peng Meng. One day, the goddess gave Hou Yi an elixir of immortality as a reward for his heroic undertaking. Meanwhile, she warned Hou Yi "Do not swallow this pill before preparing yourself with prayer and fasting for a year". Hou Yi gave the magic potion to Chang'e for safekeeping and she took it as a treasure and hid it in her jewelry box. Unfortunately, Peng Meng found this secret and made a plan to steal it. Several days later, when Hou Yi and other apprentices went out for hunting, Peng pretended to fall ill and stayed at home. After they left, Peng forced Chang'e to give him the potion. Chang'e, knowing that she could not defeat Peng, swallowed the potion herself, and immediately she felt herself floating up and flied to the sky. With deep love to her husband, Chang'e chose to live on the moon, closest to the earth; then she could see her husband every day.
In the moon, Chang’e met Jade Rabbit called Yu Tu. As the time went by, Chang'e and Jade Rabbit became best friends. Hearing about the story of Chang'e and Hou Yi, the Jade Rabbit decided to make a special heavenly medicine, which could help Chang'e return to Earth. Unfortunately, the Jade Rabbit has still not been able to make it even though he has worked hard for thousands of years. On the Full Moon Day, Hou Yi who is now the sun god, can visit his wife, Chang’e the Moon Goddess. Observing the moon on the Mid-Autumn Day (Full Moon Day) carefully, we can still see Hou Yi, Chang’e and the Jade Rabbit making his heavenly medicine. |
