As the legend goes, in the distant past, there was a beautiful woman called Chang'e.
相传，在遥远的过去，有一位名叫嫦娥的美丽女子。
Her husband Hou Yi was a brilliant archer.
她的丈夫后羿是一名技艺高超的弓箭手。
At that time, there were ten suns in the sky and the people on earth were living in the blistering heat.
当时，天上有十个太阳，地上的人们生活在酷热中。
To save the earth, Hou Yi used his bow and arrow to shoot down the nine of the suns.
为了拯救地球，后羿用他的弓箭射下了九个太阳。
Hou Yi was respected as the national hero and received an elixir of immortality as a reward for saving the people from the heat of multiple suns.
后羿被尊为民族英雄，获得了长生不老药，作为他从多个太阳的炎热中拯救人们的奖励。
However, the elixir only had enough for one person and both Chang'e and Hou Yi didn't want to leave each other.
然而，长生不老药只够一个人吃，嫦娥和后羿都不想离开对方。
But one day, one of Hou Yi's students tried to steal the elixir when he wasn't home.
但有一天，后羿的一个学生趁他不在家时试图偷走长生不老药。
In order to protect the elixir from thieves... Chang'e took the magic elixir of immortality.
为了保护长生不老药不被偷……嫦娥吃下了长生不老药。
Then she flew to the moon and became the moon goddess leaving her husband behind.
然后，她飞上了月球，成为了月亮女神，留下她的丈夫（独自在地球上）。
Alone on earth, Hou Yi missed his wife so much that he made an offering to the moon and tried to find the shape of Chang'e on the moon.
孤身一人在地球上，后羿非常想念妻子，于是他向月亮献上祭品，试图找到月球上嫦娥的身影。
To remember Chang'e, Chinese people worshiped the moon by eating fruit and moon-shaped desserts called mooncakes.
为了纪念嫦娥，中国人通过吃水果和被称为月饼的圆月形甜点来祭拜月亮。
This is the legend of the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also called "the moon festival".

Nowadays, the Mid-Autumn Festival--which is also a harvest festival--has become a family holiday like Thanksgiving.
