12、郎、织女说的悄悄话。因为织女是一个美丽聪明、心灵手巧的仙女，所以凡间的女子便在这一天的晚上与女伴相约，在庭院或花园里朝天河(即银河)中的牛、女二星焚香祭拜，默默祈祷自己的心愿，向织女乞求智慧，好让自己也变得心灵手巧。少女们希望自己长得美丽可人，嫁个如意郎君；少妇们希望早生贵子，得到丈夫、公婆的宠爱。于是，便出现了七夕乞巧等各种风俗。 在汉语中，“七”与“期”同音，含有期待的意思。牵牛、织女二星在每年的七月同时出现于天空，古代称为“星期”。在“星期”的背后，隐藏着人们对一切美好意愿的祝福与乞求。因此，七夕的“星期”便成为相爱之人会面的美好日子。 （分数：55.00）_天津外国语大学翻译硕士英语学
