8-20 麦克风 There was a guy called Niulang, otherwise known as the Cowherd in the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver, who left home with his cow after being mistreated. One day the cow showed Niulang a place on Earth where fairies bathed. Among the fairies was Zhinv. Zhinv was so beautiful (that) Niulang fell in love at first sight. They married and had children. Meanwhile, this person, Wangmu Niangniang, who happened to be Zhinv’s mother, was very angry because marriage between a mortal and a fairy was forbidden. She took a hairpin and slashed it across the sky, thus creating the Milky Way, which just so happened to separate husband and wife. But a flock of magpies, they formed a bridge over the Milky Way. Wangmu Niangniang was so touched (that) she allowed Zhinv and Niulang to meet once a year on the 7th night of the 7th lunar month.   曾经有一个男子，叫牛郎，在牛郎织女的传说故事中也可以叫他放牛的。他被家人虐待，不得不带着一头老牛分家出来。一天，牛郎跟着老牛来到一处仙女沐浴的地方。众仙女中，织女尤为引人注目。织女真是美如画。牛郎对她一见钟情。他们成亲生子。 与此同时，王母娘娘这个人正是织女的妈妈，她大为震怒，因为凡人和仙女之间禁止结婚。她拿出一支发簪，然后用发簪把天空一分为二，就这样变出了一条白色的银河，正好隔开了牛郎和织女。不过有一群喜鹊，它们变成鹊桥搭在银河之上。王母娘娘被感动了，于是她便允许织女和牛郎每年相会一次。相会的时间就是农历七月初七的晚上。
