七夕节翻译为:Chinese Valentine's Day。
七夕节,又名乞巧节、七巧节或七姐诞,发源于中国,是华人地区以及东亚各国的传统节日,该节日来自于牛郎与织女的传说,在农历七月初七庆祝(日本在明治维新后改为阳历7月7日)。
因为此日活动的主要参与者是少女,而节日活动的内容又是以乞巧为主,所以人们称这天为“乞巧节”或“少女节”、“女儿节”。2006年5月20日,七夕被中国国务院列入第一批国家非物质文化遗产名录。
七夕节的习俗:穿针乞巧、喜蛛应巧、投针验巧、种生求子、为牛庆生、晒书晒衣、供奉“磨喝乐”、拜织女、拜魁星、吃巧果等。
七夕节以牛郎织女的民间传说为载体,表达的是已婚男女之间不离不弃、白头偕老”的情感,恪守的是双方对爱的承诺。随着时间演变,七夕现已成为中国情人节。

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the Lunar calendar. Unlike St. Valentine's Day in Western countries there is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses. Instead, Chinese girls prepare fruits, melons and incense(熏香) as offerings to Zhi Nu, the weaving maiden, praying to acquire high skills in needlecraft(裁缝), as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands. In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars. Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what Zhi Nu and Niu Lang are talking about.
