三潭印月是西湖中最大的岛屿。围绕三塔的三个水面在中秋节夜晚营造了一个美丽的景色。该岛提供了在中湖享受美丽满月的最佳地点。

The Three Pools Mirroring the Moon is the largest of three fairy islets in the Outer Lake of West Lake. The three pools surrounding the three pagodas create a beautiful scene during Mid-autumn Festival evenings. The islet offers the best place to enjoy a beautiful full moon at the mid lake.

　　三葫芦形石塔伸出水面以上两米左右。它们形成一个等边三角形，每个边有六十二米长。它们都是空心的，每一个都有五个同样形状的小圆孔。在中秋节的晚上，有一轮明月挂在空中，当地人喜欢在那里泛舟，把一支点燃的蜡烛放进每一座宝塔，用薄薄的白纸把洞封上。倒映在水面上的烛光酷似月亮的倒影。在三座宝塔附近，你会发现十五根蜡烛像月亮一样反射到水面上，就像月亮一样。

The three gourd-shaped stone pagodas jut about two meters above the water. They form an equilateral triangle with each side sixty-two meters in length. They are all hollow and each of them has five equally shaped small round holes on their bodies. During the night of Mid-autumn Festival, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, local people love to ride boats there, put a lit candle into each of the pagodas and seal the holes with thin white paper. The candlelight reflected on the water surface resembles the reflection of the moon. Near the three pagodas you may find fifteen candles that reflect onto the water’s surface like tiny moons, along side the actual moon.

　　柔和的烛光和波光粼粼的湖面，为许多游客营造了一个宁静迷人的景象。

The soft glow of candles and the shimmering lake together create a serene and enchanting scene for many visitors.
