开斋节快到啦！Eid al-Fitr is coming!

开斋节是伊斯兰的两大节日之一，期间，人们会连续狂欢三天，以此庆祝斋月的结束，世界上大约有数十亿的穆斯林会进行为期一个月的斋戒，他们必须在日出和日落之间避免一切饮食、吸烟和房事等活动，并进行自我反思以及祈祷。

One of the most important days in the Islamic calendar, Eid al-Fitr is a joyous three-day celebration that marks the end of Ramadan, a month-long fast observed by most of the world’s billions of Muslims. Throughout Ramadan, Muslims are obliged to refrain from eating, drinking and other sinful activities between sunrise and sunset, and must consider the occasion a time for reflection and worship.

每年开斋节的公历日期都是不一样的，因为按照传统，庆祝活动要等到新月出现后才能开始。这意味着世界各地区庆祝开斋节的日期会稍有不同。

Eid al-Fitr falls on a different date of the Gregorian calendar every year, because the festivities cannot begin until a new moon has been observed in accordance with tradition. That means that some parts of the world may celebrate Eid al-Fitr on a slightly different date to others.

开斋节期间，穆斯林们会举行很多有趣的传统活动。

Muslims will have many traditional activities during Eid al-Fitr.

举办盛宴
A feast that lasts for days.

经过整整一个月的白天禁食之后，许多穆斯林人会兴高采烈地庆祝禁食仪式的结束，因而美食在开斋节中是不可缺少的。

After denying themselves of food during daylight hours for an entire month, many Muslim people are understandably delighted when the time comes to break their fasting ritual. Translating to: “The festival of breaking of the fast,” food plays an important role in Eid al-Fitr.

开斋的第一餐通常比较清淡，主要是一些糖果和枣子，真正的盛宴会在早祷结束后开始，全家人会欢聚一堂，共同享用丰富美味的午饭。各种特色美食不断被端上来，盛宴一场接着一场，一片狂欢气氛。

The first breakfast of the event is fairly subdued, typically consisting of some sweets and dates. The real feast begins when families get together for lunch on the first day after morning prayers. Huge quantities of all sorts of local delicacies are devoured in joyous celebration, while further lavish banquets are repeated throughout the festival.

祈祷
Prayer plays an important role.

开斋节不仅仅意味着禁食的结束，同时也是穆斯林们团结彼此、专心祈祷的时间。在开斋节的第一天，穆斯林会去参观当地的清真寺，在开阔的天空下祈祷，以下跪头触地的姿态，高喊 “伟大的阿拉”。

Eid al-Fitr isn’t just about breaking the fast, it’s also a time for bonding as a community and devoting oneself to prayer. On the first day of the event Muslims visit their local mosque to pray under an open sky, kneeling down so that their heads touch the ground and loudly saying “Allah is great.”

节日期间会有几次不同的祈祷会，多是为了祈求宽恕、怜悯、和平和祝福。

Several different prayer sessions are held over the course of the festival, most of which are compulsory and are used to ask for forgiveness, mercy, peace and blessings.

穿新衣
Everyone sports a fresh new outfit.

在开斋节的第一天，穆斯林都要沐浴净身并穿上全新的衣服，以此来赞美真主，也寓意着自己精神得到了净化。

On the first day of Eid al-Fitr it is customary for people to bath and put on a brand new outfit. This is done to honor Allah and is intended to symbolize the notion of spiritual renewal.

送礼、行善
Gifts are handed out left, right and center.

穆斯林会在开斋节给亲人朋友赠送礼物，以表达自己的爱意，而孩童们大概是得到最多关注的了。

Eid al-Fitr is a time when Muslims can shower their loved ones with gifts. Children typically get most of the attention, although presents are liberally handed out between friends and relatives as well.

有经济能力的穆斯林人需要在开斋节进行捐款，称为“天课”（Zakat），意在加强伊斯兰群体的内部联系，增进彼此之间的兄弟情谊。这既保证较穷困的穆斯林也能一起参与到豪华的开斋节宴会中，也鼓励富人在接下来一年里能变得更加慷慨。

All Muslim people with the financial means are expected to pay Zakat al-Fitr, a special kind of alms which is intended to strengthen ties within the Islamic community and foster feelings of brotherhood and love. The system allows poorer Muslims to be included in lavish Eid al-Fitr banquets and encourages the wealthy to be more generous throughout the year.
