參考翻譯:

The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, when the moon is the fullest and brightest of the whole year. This festival has a very long history. In ancient China, emperors followed the tradition of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. By the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival had been fixed as a holiday, which became even grander in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it grew to be a major festival of China together with the Spring Festival, the Qingming Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, people enjoy the full, bright moon, worship it and express their thoughts and feelings in the moonlight.

1.最圓:可直譯為roundest,但譯為fullest為最佳，月亮最圓的時候，即為滿月。
2.遵循著…傳統(tǒng):常用follow the tradition來表達(dá)。
3.祭:指祭祀，sacrifice不僅有犧牲的意思，還可以表示祭品，因此祭日、 祭月、祭祖都可以用 offer sacrifices to the sun/moon/ancestor 表達(dá)。
4.到唐代，中秋節(jié)…這一節(jié)日更為盛行:這兩句話主語都為“中秋節(jié)”， 故可以用連接詞which將兩句話連接起來，從而避免重復(fù)。
5.寄托個人情懷:按照漢語的語義，“寄托”表達(dá)的意境比較深刻，翻譯時， 可理解為“表達(dá)”，即express; “情懷”可譯為thoughts and feelings。
