场景：小华和小红一起学习英文，很想知道七夕节由来的传说故事用英文如何表达。于是，他们就翻阅书籍，上网查询，一起整理了七夕节的传说故事。
Xiaohua：Hey, Xiaohong. I was wondering how to tell the legend of Qixi Festival in English because I'm going to make a presentation next week in English class.
小华：嘿，小红。我想知道用英文如何表达七夕节的传说，我下周在英语课上要做演讲。
Xiaohong：Oh, that's wonderful. I think you should start with its date and briefly summarize the legend, and then talk about the influences of Qixi Festival.
小红：哦，真棒呀。你可以从七夕节的日期开始，然后简要总结下传说，最后说说七夕节的影响。
Xiaohua：Great! Now, here it goes, “The Double Seventh Festival is a traditional festival full of romance on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. ”
小华：棒！现在就开始，“七夕节是农历七月初七一个充满浪漫色彩的传统节日。”
Xiaohong：Very good. Now, let's summarize the legend briefly. You can say, "There is a beautiful love story of Niu Lang and Zhi Nv passed down from generation to generation. "
小红：非常好，现在可以简要总结传说了。你可以说：“有一个关于牛郎和织女的美丽的代代相传爱情故事。”
Xiaohua：Yes. Let me continue, "Niu Lang lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day, a fairy, Zhi Nv, from heaven fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. But unfortunately, the God of Heaven soon found the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring Zhi Nv back. With the help of celestial cattle, Niu Lang flew to heaven to catch up his wife but he was separated by the Queen Mother. Their loyalty to love touched magpies, they were allowed to meet each year on the Double Seventh Day with the help of the bridge build by tens of thousands of magpies. ”
小华：好呀，我继续：“牛郎靠放牛和农耕生活。一天，一个叫织女的仙女爱上了他，偷偷地来到人间嫁给了他。但不幸的是，玉皇大帝很快发现了这件事，并下令西王母将织女带回来。在天牛的帮助下，牛郎飞到天上去追他的妻子，但他被王母娘娘分开了。他们对爱情的忠贞感动了喜鹊，他们被允许在每年的七夕节在数万只喜鹊建造的“鹊桥”见面。”
Xiaohong：What a great story! Now, let's do the ending part of the speech. "The legend of Niu Lang and Zhi Nv has taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years, urban youths have celebrated it as western Valentine's Day in China. Owners of flower shops, bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.
小红：多么棒的故事啊！现在，让我们来做演讲的结尾部分。牛郎和织女的传说已经在人们的心中扎根。近年来，中国的城市青年把七夕节作为“西方情人节”来庆祝。花店、酒吧和商店的老板们都很高兴，因为他们为爱卖了更多的商品。
