本期音頻：英文話中秋-The Beautiful Myth about the Mid-Autumn Festival-關(guān)于中秋節(jié)的神話

In the ancient past, there was a hero named Hou Yi who was excellent at archery. His wife was Change. One year, the ten suns rose in the sky together, causing great disaster to the people. Hou Yi shot down nine of the suns and left only one to provide light. An immortal admired Hou Yi and sent him the elixir of immortality. Hou Yi did not want to leave Change and be immortal without her, so he let Change keep the elixir. However, Pang Meng, one of his apprentices, knew this secret. So, on the fifteenth of August in the Chinese lunar calendar, when Hou Yi went hunting, Pang Meng broke into Hou Yis house and forced Change to give the elixir to him. Change refused to do so. Instead, she swallowed it and flew into the sky. Since she loved her husband and hoped to live nearby, she chose the moon for her residence. When Hou Yi came back and learned what had happened, he felt so sad that he displayed the fruits and cakes Change liked in the yard and gave sacrifices to his wife. when people learned of this story, they burnt incense on a long altar and prayed to Chang ‘e, now the goddess of the moon, for luck and safety. The custom of praying to the moon on Mid-Autumn Day has been handed down for thousands of years since that time.

在古代，有個名叫后羿的英雄，擅長射箭。他的妻子是嫦娥。有一年，十個太陽同時升起，給人們帶來了巨大的災(zāi)難。后羿射下了九個太陽，只留下一個用來照明。一位仙人很欣賞后羿，送給了他長生不老的靈藥。后羿不想離開嫦娥而獨自成仙，所以他讓嫦娥保管著長生不老藥。然而，他的一個徒弟逄蒙知道了這個秘密。在中國農(nóng)歷八月十五，當(dāng)后羿去打獵時，逄蒙破門而入，強迫嫦娥把長生不老藥交給他。嫦娥拒絕了。相反，她把藥吞了下去，飛上了天空。由于她對丈夫的愛，因此她希望能住在丈夫的附近，于是她選擇了月亮作為她的住所。后羿回來后得知了事情的經(jīng)過，感到非常難過，他在院子里擺上了嫦娥喜歡的水果和糕點，并為他的妻子獻(xiàn)祭。當(dāng)人們知道這個故事后，便在一個長長的祭壇上焚香，祈求月亮女神嫦娥好運平安。于是在中秋節(jié)向月亮祈禱的習(xí)俗從那時起就流傳了幾千年。
