翻译成汉语就是

中秋节
中秋节，是中国的一个古老节日，因为八月十五这一天是在秋季的正中，所以称为中秋节。节日的特色是吃月饼和提灯笼。

中秋节和农历新年一样，是一个家人大团圆的家人。中秋之夜，月亮最圆、最亮，月色也最皎美。家家户户把瓜果、月饼等食物，摆在院中的桌子上，一家人一面赏月一面吃月饼，正是“天上一轮才捧出，人间万姓仰头看”，这是多么美好的图景。

中秋节的传统食品是月饼，月饼是圆形的，象征团圆，反映了人们对家人团聚的美好愿望。中秋节吃月饼据说始于元代，当时，朱元璋领导汉族人民反抗元朝暴政，约定在八月十五日这一天起义，以互赠月饼的办法把字条夹在月饼中传递消息。中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。

后来，朱元璋终于把元朝推翻，成为明朝的第一个皇帝，虽然其后满清人入主中国，但是人们仍旧庆祝这个象征推翻异族统治的节日。

庆祝方式
中秋节在新加坡是相当热闹的。节日降临前的一个月，月饼灯笼就开始上市了。月饼，不仅满足人们的口福也用来祭祖拜月，更是亲戚朋友互相馈赠的节日佳品。除了月饼，中秋节的另一种节日佳品是“柚”。

对年轻人而言，令他们感到兴趣的是各式各样制作精美的灯笼，他们也趁着节日的机会，展露制作灯笼的才华，大人们也可以在一年一度的灯笼制作比赛及花灯展览会上尽情娱乐。

新加坡人也可以参加由民众联络所或会馆主办的中秋晚会。一家人一起赏月也是一件美事，在家中摆上瓜果、月饼，再添上孩子们的灯笼，就是一个温馨、和谐的中秋夜。

为了使中秋佳节的气氛更浓，庆祝活动更普遍，我们建议在公共场所张挂灯笼，同时主办猜灯谜等活动。
