关于七夕节的英语作文中英对照如下：
这是最早的乞巧方式，始于汉，流于后世。《西京杂记》说：“汉彩女常以七月七日穿七孔针于开襟楼，人具习之。”南朝梁宗谋《荆楚岁时记》说：“七月七日，是夕人家妇女结彩楼穿七孔外，或以金银愉石为针。”《舆地志》说：“齐武帝起层城观，七月七日，宫人多登之穿针。世谓之穿针楼。”五代王仁裕《开元天宝遗事》说：“七夕，宫中以锦结成楼殿，高百尺，上可以胜数十人，陈以瓜果酒炙，设坐具，以祀牛女二星，妃嫔各以九孔针五色线向月穿之，过者为得巧之侯。动清商之曲，宴乐达旦。土民之家皆效之。”元陶宗仪《元氏掖庭录》说：“九引台，七夕乞巧之所。至夕，宫女登台以五彩丝穿九尾针，先完者为得巧，迟完者谓之输巧，各出资以赠得巧者焉。”
喜蛛应巧
这也是较早的一种乞巧方式，其俗稍晚于穿针乞巧，大致起于南北朝之时。南朝梁宗懔《荆楚岁时记》说; “是夕，陈瓜果于庭中以乞巧。有喜子网于瓜上则以为符应。”
五代王仁裕《开元天宝遗事》说：“七月七日，各捉蜘蛛于小盒中，至晓开;视蛛网稀密以为得巧之侯。密者言巧多，稀者言巧少。民间亦效之”宋朝孟元老《东京梦华录》说，七月七夕“以小蜘蛛安合子内，次日看之，若网圆正谓之得巧。”宋周密《乾淳岁时记》说;“以小蜘蛛贮合内，以候结网之疏密为得巧之多久”明田汝成《熙朝乐事》说，七夕“以小盒盛蜘蛛，次早观其结网疏密以为得巧多寡。”由此可见，历代验巧之法不同，南北朝视网之有无、唐视网之稀密，宋视网之圆正，后世多遵唐俗。
投针验巧
这是七夕穿针乞巧风俗的变体，源于穿针，又不同于穿针，是明清两代的盛行的七夕节俗。明刘侗、于奕正的《帝京景物略》说：“七月七日之午丢巧针。妇女曝盎水日中，顷之，水膜生面，绣针投之则浮，看水底针影。有成云物花头鸟兽影者，有成鞋及剪刀水茄影者，谓乞得巧;其影粗如锤、细如丝、直如轴蜡，此拙征矣。”《直隶志书》也说，良乡县(今北京西南)“七月七日，妇女乞巧，投针于水，借日影以验工拙，至夜仍乞巧于织女”请于敏中《日下旧闻考》引《宛署杂记》说：“燕都女子七月七日以碗水暴日下，各自投小针浮之水面，徐视水底日影。或散如花，动如云，细如线，粗租如锥，因以卜女之巧。”
种生求子
旧时习俗，在七夕前几天，先在小木板上敷一层土，播下粟米的种子，让它生出绿油油的嫩苗，再摆一些小茅屋、花木在上面，做成田舍人家小村落的模样，称为“壳板”，或将绿豆、小豆、小麦等浸于磁碗中，等它长出敷寸的芽，再以红、蓝丝绳扎成一束，称为“种生”，又叫“五生盆”或“生花盆”。南方各地也称为“泡巧”，将长出的豆芽称为巧芽，甚至以巧芽取代针，抛在水面乞巧。还用蜡塑各种形象，如牛郎、织女故事中的人物，或秃鹰、鸳鸯、等动物之形，放在水上浮游，称之为“水上浮”。又有蜡制的婴儿玩偶，让妇女买回家浮于水土，以为宜子之祥，称为“化生”。
供奉“磨喝乐”
磨喝乐是旧时民间七夕节的儿童玩物，即小泥偶，其形象多为传荷叶半臂衣裙，手持荷叶。每年七月七日，在开封的“潘楼街东宋门外瓦子、州西梁门外瓦子、北门外、南朱雀门外街及马行街内，皆卖磨喝乐，乃小塑土偶耳”。其实宋朝稍晚以后的磨喝乐，已不再是小土偶了，相反的，越作越精致。磨喝乐的大小、姿态不一，的高至三尺，与真的小孩于相上下。制作的材料则有以象牙雕镂或用龙延佛手香雕成的，磨喝乐的装扮，更是极尽精巧之能事，有以彩绘木雕为栏座，或用红砂碧笼当罩子，手中所持的玩具也多以金玉宝石来装饰，一对磨喝乐的造价往往高达数千钱。 缂丝七夕乞巧图轴
拜织女
“拜织女”纯是少女、少妇们的事。她们大都是预先和自己朋友或邻里们约好五六人，多至十来人，联合举办。举行的仪式，是于月光下摆一张桌子，桌子上置茶、酒、水果、五子(桂圆、红枣、榛子、花生，瓜子)等祭品;又有鲜花几朵，束红纸，插瓶子里，花前置一个小香炉。那么，约好参加拜织女的少妇、少女们，斋戒一天，沐浴停当，准时都到主办的家里来，于案前焚香礼拜后，大家一起围坐在桌前，一面吃花生，瓜子，一面朝着织女星座，默念自己的心事。如少女们希望长得漂亮或嫁个如意郎、少妇们希望早生贵子等，都可以向织女星默祷。玩到半夜始散。
拜魁星
俗传七月七日是魁星的生日。魁星文事，想求取功名的读书人特别崇敬魁星，所以一定在七夕这天祭拜，祈求他保佑自己考运亨通。魁星爷就是魁斗星，廿八宿中的奎星，为北斗七星的第一颗星，也魁星或魁首。古代士子中状元时称“大魁天下士”或“一举夺魁”，都是因为魁星主掌考运的缘故。
根据民间传说，魁星爷生前长相奇丑，脸上长满斑点，又是个跛脚。有人便写了一首打油诗来取笑他：不扬何用饰铅华，纵使铅华也莫遮。娶得麻姑成两美，比来蜂室果无差。须眉以下鸿留爪，口鼻之旁雁踏沙。莫是檐前贪午睡，风吹额上落梅花。相君玉趾最离奇，一步高来一步低。款款行时身欲舞，飘飘度处乎如口。只缘世路皆倾险，累得芳踪尽侧奇。莫笑腰枝常半折，临时摇曳亦多姿。
然而这位魁星爷志气奇高，发愤用功，竟然高中了。皇帝殿试时，问他何脸上全是斑点，他答道：“麻面满天星”;问他的脚为何跛了，他答道：“独脚跳龙门”。皇帝很满意，就录取了他。
另一种完全不同的传说，说魁星爷生前虽然满腹学问，可惜每考必败，便悲愤得投河自杀了。岂料竟被鳖鱼救起，升天成了魁星。因为魁星能左右文人的考运，所以每逢七月七日他的生日，读书人都郑重的祭拜。
