圆圆的月亮,浓浓的情意千百年来(for centuries ),中国人一直有着庆祝中秋节和吃月饼的习俗.月饼有着中秋之夜里满月的的形状(the shape of),承载(carry)着人们对所爱的和所思的家人(the families为先行词 love and miss是定语从句,修饰the families)的祝愿.关于这个节日,有许多传统的民间故事.然而,大多数人都认为其中有关嫦娥的故事是最感人的(the most touching).嫦娥是后羿的美丽妻子.在后羿射下(shoot down)9个太阳之后,一位女神给了他仙药表示感谢.无论是谁吃了它都将获得长生不老live forever,于是后羿准备和嫦娥一起吃了.然而,一个叫逄蒙的坏人,试图趁后羿不在家的时候去偷仙药.嫦娥拒绝(refuse to )把仙药交给他,于是就自己一个人全吃了.她身体变得轻飘飘,飞了起来(fly up)奔到月亮上.后羿非常伤心,以致于他每天晚上对着月亮大声呼唤(call out …to…)她的名字.一天晚上,他发现月亮又明亮又很圆,并且看到了他的妻子在那里.他迅速地把她最喜欢的水果和甜点摆在了花园里.他是多么希望嫦娥能回来啊(How he wished that Chang’e could come back!这是一个感叹句,其中Chang’e could come back是宾语从句)!从此,人们开始了与家人赏月并分享月饼的习俗.注:后羿(生卒年不详),本称羿、大羿、司羿,中国远古五帝时期的神话人物,帝尧的射师,嫦娥的丈夫,神话传说中的射日英雄。

但隐藏在这一切背后的是(lie存在)圣诞节的真谛:分享与给予我们周围的人爱与欢乐的重要性。
《圣诞欢歌》这个故事或许是这一点最好的例子。
《圣诞欢歌》是查尔斯·狄更斯写的著名短篇小说。
这篇小说讲述的是一位叫斯克鲁奇的从无笑容的老人的事。
他十分吝啬自私,从不与人为善。
他只关心能否挣到更多的钱,而且厌恶圣诞节。
一个圣诞前夕夜里,斯克鲁奇看到了他死去的生意伙伴雅各布·马利的亡魂。
马利过去曾经就像斯克鲁奇一样,所以在他死后受到了惩罚。
他告诫斯克鲁奇,如果他不想最终像他一样下场,就要改变他的行事方式。
他还告诉斯克鲁奇做好准备,将有三个(圣诞)精灵年拜访他。
那天夜里,三个精灵拜访了斯克鲁奇。
首先,“圣诞节过去之灵”带他回到了他的童年时代,让他回顾了孩提时代的欢乐时光。
然后,第二个精灵“圣诞节的现在之灵”,带他去看其他人是如何欢度今年的圣诞节的。
每个人,甚至穷人都很幸福。
最后一个,“圣诞节的未来之灵”带他去了未来。
斯克鲁奇看到他死了,但没人在意他。
他惊恐万分地在床上醒来,发现正是第二天圣诞节清晨了。
他决定改变自己的人生,承诺做个更好的人。
他开心地同亲戚们一同庆祝圣诞节。
他还送给需要帮助的人礼物。
现在无论走到哪里,他都用善良与热情待人,传播着爱与欢乐。
