今天是中秋节。我没有月饼。
一个小朋友祝我中秋节快乐。
Today is the Mid-Autumn festival. I have no mooncakes.
A "small friend" wishes me a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Language notes:
"Mid-autumn festival" is a literal translation of 中秋节 zhōngqiūjié.
月饼 yuébǐng "mooncakes" are traditionally eaten during this festival.
Here is a poem by the Tang dynasty poet 李白 Lí Bái, which features the words 秋 qiū "autumn" and 月 yué "moon". The title given is "Autumn Air", but 秋风 is more literally "Autumn Wind". Below the text there is a literal translation on the left and a more idiomatic translation on the right. This is linked from chinese-poems.com.
