The Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhongqiujie, is a festival for families to get together in China. It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, when the full moon returns to the sky. On this day, people eat a moon-shaped dessert called a Moon Cake. All the family members sit together, eat Moon Cakes and fresh fruits, and enjoy the sight of the round and bright moon. Those who cannot return home look at the round moon and think of their family.

Chinese people all around the world share the same tradition. Just like an ancient Chinese poem says, the moon was rising from the sea and all the people were sharing this moment.

单词速记：

1. dessert [dɪˈzɜːrt] n.(饭后)甜点，甜食

在西方，人们喜欢在餐后吃甜食或甜点心，表示甜食或甜点心的英语单词dessert的本意就是“收拾餐桌以后吃的”。dessert源自法语，原为法语动词desservir的过去分词形式，而desservir = des（等于英语否定前缀un） servir（等于英语中的serve，上菜），字面意思就是“收拾桌子”。收拾完桌子后再吃的自然就是甜食了。

2. The moon was rising from the sea and all the people were sharing this moment.

海上生明月，天涯共此时！
