七夕节“乞巧”的风俗及相关英语表达

七夕“乞巧”的风俗由来已久，年轻女孩子们在这个天乞求的，不但仅是巧夺天工的好手艺，还会乞求一段美好姻缘。似乎是tvb剧中经常出现七夕之夜女子祈求姻缘的桥段~不知道今年七夕，有多少人会在星空之下默默祈祷呢？

七夕“乞巧”的风俗：

on that night, unmarried girls prayed to the weaving maid star for the special gift. when the star vega was high up in the sky, girls performed a small test by placing a needle on the water's surface： if the needle did not sink, the girl was considered to be ready to find a husband. once a year, on this day, girls could wish for anything their hearts desired.

七夕之夜，未婚女子通常会向织女星乞巧，也会乞求姻缘。她们将一根针放在水面上，倘若针不下沉的话，她们就能得偿所愿。据说这个晚女孩子们能祈求任何心愿成真。
