1、I liked the Autumn Festival very much when I was a small girl, because I was with my family then. On the evening of August 15 of the lunar calendar, when the moon was brightest, we always sat together outside in our yard to eat moon cakes, eaten only on this occasion, and enjoy the beautiful moonlight. Mother would then tell me the story of the moon fairy Chang-o, who lived in a palace on the moon, with a jade rabbit for companion. I always imagined that I was the moon fairy whenever I heard the story. When I grew older, however, I was compelled to leave home for education in the city. And now I am living alone away from home. The August moon only serves to remind me of the lost happy days I had with my family in the country.

2、翻译：我小时候非常喜欢中秋节，因为那时我和家人在一起。农历八月十五日晚上，月亮最亮的时候，我们总是一起坐在院子外面吃月饼，只在这个时候吃，享受美丽的月光。母亲会告诉我月亮仙女嫦娥的故事，嫦娥住在月亮上的一座宫殿里，和一只玉兔为伴。每当我听到这个故事，我总是想象我是月亮仙女。然而，当我长大后，我不得不离开家去城里接受教育。现在我独自一人远离家乡。八月的月亮只会让我想起我和我的家人在乡下失去的快乐时光。
