翻译：中秋节作文:中秋之夜
中秋之夜是个美好、祥和的夜晚。家家户户欢聚一堂，品尝月饼和瓜果，享受天伦之乐。“每逢佳节备思亲”，谁都希望在中秋佳节能够得以全家团聚，这是人之常情，但又总不能家家如愿。我爸爸是位电视新闻工作者，因为忙于工作，就有好几个中秋节都不能和我们一起度过。想到这里，我不禁想起苏轼的《水调歌头》：“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。”
今天是农历八月十五，又是一年一度的中秋佳节。晚上，我和妈妈回奶奶家过节。吃完团圆饭，我就和弟弟一起上天台赏月。
月亮害羞地盖着层层面纱，过了很久，才轻轻地掀起它的面纱，渐渐地露出它的那张能发光的脸蛋。我仔细地抬头望月，心里对遥远的月空充满了无限的遐想。。。。。
弟弟看着这一轮高空中的明月，侧过脸俏皮地问：“姐姐，这是白银盘吗？”我听了这句话觉得好气又好笑，他一定是想起了我教他的古诗《古郎月行》，故意在卖弄呢。于是，我们冲着月亮大声朗诵起来：“小时不识月，呼作白玉盘。又疑瑶台镜，飞在青云端。”
我俩边聊边津津有味地吃月饼，有五仁的、莲蓉的、叉烧的……我最喜欢的还是双黄的，咬一口，甜甜的，味道好极了！ （可选几段，并不用全按原文）
时间过得真快，一转眼夜已深了，我们只好恋恋不舍地回家了。不知明年的中秋节会是怎样的呢
