翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you going home to celebrate with your family?
Huahua: Yes! I bought a high-speed railway ticket a long time ago. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the three most important festivals for Chinese. If possible, you should definitely go home and get together your family.
Qingqing: We’re going to have a barbecue. What about your family?
Huahua: We never have a barbecue to celebrate the day. Instead, we gather as a family, admire the moon and enjoy mooncakes and pomelos. We spend a joyful evening together.
Qingqing: What? Barbecuing during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a unique festival cultural event in Taiwan. It’s a pity not to do it.
Huahua: That may well be true, but the air pollution caused by everyone barbecuing is a big issue.
Qingqing: You’re really environmentally aware! I’ll have less barbecue this year and save some space in my stomach for mooncakes and pomelos. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
