Zhao: Would you like to come to my home and celebrate the Mid-autumn Day with my family tomorrow?
赵：明天你愿意来我家和我的家人一起庆祝中秋节吗？
Sue: Mid-autumn Day? I thought it's going to be the National Day.
苏：中秋节？我还以为要过的是国庆节。
Zhao: You thought right, but this year both holidays happen to fall into the same week, quite a happy coincidence.
赵：没错，今年这两个节日赶到同一周了，真是碰巧。
Sue: Why is that?
苏：为什么？
Zhao: Because the Chinese National Day is October 1st of the solar calendar, while Mid-autumn Day is August 15th of the lunar calendar, which is the official calendar in China until modern time.
赵：因为国庆节是阳历10月1号，而中秋节是阴历八月十五，中国的官方历法在现代之前都是阴历。
Sue: So do you dress up for this day?
苏：这个节日需要穿着打扮一番吗？
Zhao: There is no need to. It's a time to observe the beautiful round moon and enjoy moon cakes.
赵：不必。只要欣赏满月并享用月饼就够了。
