It was the night of the full moon, a time which always drives Java' s young people mad with excitement.
Fireworks were lit long before the moon came out. The big noise brought people out into the warm night to enjoy the interesting scene. Everywhere, there were the paper remains of used fireworks lying on the ground．Little boys lit more and covered their ears as they waited excitedly for the explosions.
The moon appeared above the horizon（地平线） : huge, silver ball high above the city, and the streets filled with people, as Java began to enjoy one of the year' s greatest events : ' the Night of the Full Moon' , a festival（节日）that is especially popular with young people.
More and more young Javanese gathered together and walked slowly through the night Joking and chatting, they moved towards the mountain on the edge of the city. They continued to climb until they reached the old temple（ 寺庙 ）at the top of the mountain.
After they were inside the temple, they drank their water and ate their moon-cakes -- delicious home-made ones, full of dried fruit and nuts. Outside, on the mountain, young people sat cross-legged in circles, chatting and telling each other jokes. And still , in their hundreds, more young people continued to make their way up the mountain to admire the brightly shining moon.
By midnight, the fireworks had stopped shooting up from the gray city in the valley below them. But during the night, the sound continued to be heard from the distance.

It was the night of the full moon, a time which always drives Java' s young people mad with excitement.

一个满月的夜晚，一个让Java的年轻人们疯狂激动的夜晚。

Fireworks were lit long before the moon came out.

在月亮还未升起时，爆竹已被点燃！

The big noise brought people out into the warm night to enjoy the interesting scene.

热闹的爆竹声让所有的人都走出门户，融入温馨的夜晚，享受美好的景象。

Everywhere, there were the paper remains of used fireworks lying on the ground．

地上到出都是残留的爆竹碎片。

Little boys lit more and covered their ears as they waited excitedly for the explosions.

男孩子们点燃更多的鞭炮，捂着耳朵等待着爆裂声。

The moon appeared above the horizon（地平线） : huge, silver ball high above the city, and the streets filled with people, as Java began to enjoy one of the year' s greatest events : ' the Night of the Full Moon' , a festival（节日）that is especially popular with young people.

月亮从地平线上升起，巨大的银色圆球高挂于城市的上空，街道上挤满了人群，Java开始了享受一年中最盛大的活动：满月之夜，一个尤其受年轻人喜爱的节日。

More and more young Javanese gathered together and walked slowly through the night Joking and chatting, they moved towards the mountain on the edge of the city.

越来越多的Javanese聚集在一起，伴着夜色，休闲的散步，聊天，他们向城市边缘的大山走去。

They continued to climb until they reached the old temple（ 寺庙 ）at the top of the mountain.

他们一直爬山直到山顶的寺庙。

After they were inside the temple, they drank their water and ate their moon-cakes -- delicious home-made ones, full of dried fruit and nuts.

他们在寺庙品尝月饼，自制的月饼中夹着美味的坚果。

Outside, on the mountain, young people sat cross-legged in circles, chatting and telling each other jokes.

在寺庙外的山上，年轻人盘腿围坐成圈，相互谈天讲笑话。

And still , in their hundreds, more young people continued to make their way up the mountain to admire the brightly shining moon.

更多的年轻人仍在登山，欣赏着皎洁的月光。

By midnight, the fireworks had stopped shooting up from the gray city in the valley below them.

直到午夜，山谷中烟雾缭绕的城市里，爆竹声渐渐消失。

But during the night, the sound continued to be heard from the distance.

但整个夜晚，欢闹的声音仍旧从远方传来。
