Eid al-Adha, or the “Feast of Sacrifice,” signifies the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim, known as Abraham in Christianity and Judaism, to sacrifice his son, Ismail as ordered by Allah. It is one of Islam’s most important holidays.
古尔邦节，或“祭祀节”，象征着先知易卜拉欣，在基督教和犹太教中被称为亚伯拉罕，愿意按照安拉的命令牺牲他的儿子伊斯梅尔。这是伊斯兰教最重要的节日之一。
Usually lasting three to four days, and celebrated by millions of Muslims worldwide, the holiday begins on the 10th day of the Muslim calendar lunar month of Dhul-Hijja, at the time of Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
这个节日通常持续三到四天，全世界有数百万穆斯林庆祝，从穆斯林农历 Dhul-Hijja 月的第 10 天开始，在一年一度的麦加朝圣朝觐期间。
Considered the holiest of the two Eids, the other being Eid al-Fitr, or “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” that commemorates the end of Ramadan, it is one of two major Muslim holidays celebrated across the globe each year.
它被认为是两个开斋节中最神圣的，另一个是开斋节，或“开斋节”，纪念斋月的结束，它是全球每年庆祝的两个主要穆斯林节日之一。

The Story of Eid al-Adha
古尔邦节的故事
In the Quran, Ibrahim has a dream in which Allah commands him to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as a sign of obedience to God. In the writing, Shaytaan, or Satan attempts to confuse Ibrahim and tempt him to not go through with the act, but Ibrahim drives him away.
在《古兰经》中，易卜拉欣做了一个梦，梦见安拉命令他牺牲他的儿子伊斯梅尔，作为对真主的顺服。在写作中，Shaytaan 或撒旦试图迷惑易卜拉欣并引诱他不要完成这一行为，但易卜拉欣将他赶走了。
However, as Ibrahim is about to kill Ismail, Allah stops him, sending the Angel Jibreel, or Gabriel, with a ram to sacrifice instead. The commemoration of the Adha, which is Arabic for sacrifice, takes place on the final day of the Hajj pilgrimage, the fifth pillar of Islam.
然而，当易卜拉欣即将杀死伊斯梅尔时，安拉阻止了他，派天使吉布里勒或加百列带着一只公羊献祭。阿达（Adha）在阿拉伯语中是祭祀的意思，在朝觐朝圣的最后一天举行，朝觐是伊斯兰教的第五大支柱。
How Eid al-Adha Is Celebrated
古尔邦节是如何庆祝的
Because Ibrahim was allowed to sacrifice a ram instead of his son, Eid al-Adha is traditionally celebrated on its first day, by those with means to do so, with the symbolic sacrifice of a lamb, goat, cow, camel or other animal that is then divided into threes to be shared equally among family, friends and the needy.
因为易卜拉欣被允许献祭一只公羊而不是他的儿子，所以传统上，古尔邦节的第一天由那些有能力的人庆祝，象征性地献祭一只羔羊、山羊、牛、骆驼或其他动物，然后分成三份，在家人、朋友和有需要的人之间平均分享。
Muslim worshippers typically perform a communal prayer, or ṣalāt, at dawn on the first day of the festival, attend Mosque, donate to charities and visit with family and friends, also exchanging gifts.
穆斯林信徒通常在节日第一天的黎明时分进行公共祈祷或ṣalāt，参加清真寺，向慈善机构捐款，拜访家人和朋友，还交换礼物。

穆斯林信徒在克尔白周围祈祷，克尔白是沙特城市麦加大清真寺建筑群中最神圣的圣地。
Eid al-Adha is celebrated on the final day of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, the holiest city in Islam, in western Saudi Arabia. All Muslims able to do so are asked to make the five-day Hajj journey at least once in their lifetime, and 2 million do so each year.
古尔邦节是在一年一度的朝觐朝圣的最后一天庆祝的，麦加是沙特阿拉伯西部伊斯兰教最神圣的城市。所有有能力的穆斯林都被要求在他们的一生中至少进行一次为期五天的朝觐之旅，每年有200万人这样做。
At Mecca, worshippers visit the Ka'bah shrine, Islam’s most important monument, in the Grand Mosque. Also known as the "Black Stone," the Ka’bah is believed to have been constructed by Ibrahim and Ismail. Pilgrims also visit the Jamarat Bridge, where Ibrahim was believed to have thrown stones at the devil.
在麦加，朝拜者参观位于大清真寺的伊斯兰教最重要的古迹克尔白神社。克尔白也被称为“黑石”，据信是由易卜拉欣和伊斯梅尔建造的。朝圣者还参观了贾马拉特桥，据信易卜拉欣曾在那里向魔鬼投掷石块。
How Is Eid al-Adha Different from Eid al-Fitr?
古尔邦节与开斋节有何不同？
In Arabic, “Eid” means festival or feast and there are two major “Eids” celebrated by Muslims.
在阿拉伯语中，“开斋节”的意思是节日或盛宴，穆斯林庆祝两个主要的“开斋节”。
The first, Eid al-Fitr, Arabic for "festival of the breaking of the fast," occurs at the end of Ramadan, a month-long period when Muslims fast daily from sunrise to sunset. Also known as Sawm, it is also one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith. Ramadan marks the month Allah revealed the first verses of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad.
第一个是开斋节，阿拉伯语意为“开斋节”，发生在斋月结束时，斋月为期一个月，穆斯林每天从日出到日落斋戒。它也被称为 Sawm，也是伊斯兰信仰的五大支柱之一。斋月标志着安拉向先知穆罕默德启示古兰经的第一节经文。
Eid al-Adha, generally considered the holier of the two Eid festivals, takes place about two months after Eid al-Fitr at the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. The dates of both holidays are the same every year according to the Islamic lunar calendar. The Western 365-day Gregorian calendar is about 11 days longer, causing the dates to change each year.
古尔邦节通常被认为是两个开斋节中比较神圣的节日，在开斋节后大约两个月，在一年一度的麦加朝觐结束时举行。根据伊斯兰农历，这两个节日的日期每年都是一样的。西方公历 365 天大约多了 11 天，导致日期每年都在变化。
