For a long whilein my childhood, moon cake is another name for the Mid-Autumn Festival. These sweet little things sweep the countrywhen the day comes, it’s probably the biggest kindin Chinese pastry. You have your Beijing-style moon cake, your Cantonese-style, your Ninbo-style, and when it comes to fillings, there are lotus seed paste, sweet bean paste, and salted yolk or whatever. Now they even have western things in the moon cakes, like coffee and chocolate. All together in a small cake, just one bite and it’s like heaven. Anyway, one thing I love about our traditions is that we always relate our special days with food, that’s the spirit.
5）口语中常说的it’s heaven或it’s like heaven，可以理解成流行语里常说的，上天了，飞起了，也就是形容感觉非常棒。例如：
We kissed for the first time and, God it’s heaven.
我们第一次亲亲的时候，感觉简直妙极了。作者: kobe 时间: 2016-9-17 18:45
2.Enjoy the full moon watching － 赏月正当时
When was the last time you actually admiredthe moon? As for me, I can hardly recall. But in the old timespeople watch the moon all the time, it’s a shamethat we don’t appreciate nature these days. But not in the Mid-Autumn day, only once in a year we get tosee this shining full moon so please grab the chanceto take a walk with the ones you love in the moonlight. That way, we are not entirely losing who we are.
7）grab the chance其实就是take the chance，grab在这里就可以理解为抓住，跟我们常说的抓住机会是一样的。作者: kobe 时间: 2016-9-17 18:45
3.Enjoy the get-together － 团圆不能忘
It’s not a piece of caketo get everyone home in the holidays any more. Most of us are now living a busy life, it’s hard to make timecoming home to our familyeven in this special day. But let’s at least keep the spirit, those who can’t get back home don’t have to be alone, a little get-togetherwith friends could be nice, also give the festival a little more meaning. It’s really about being together.
