前面講了穀雨的故事《 》,不知道大、小朋友們是否喜歡呢?
那穀雨用英文怎麼說呢?我們接著來八一八關於穀雨,我們還能學到哪些單詞和句型。
穀雨的英文名為“Grain Rain”。其中grain有穀物、糧食之意,rain為雨水。
此外穀雨也稱為“第六節氣”,英文名為“6th solar term”,6th 即sixth,譯為第六;solar term是固定詞組,譯為節氣。偶爾也有人把節氣翻譯為“solar period”,因為period和term都有時期之意。
來看看穀雨小視頻:
Grain Rain was originated from the ancient version "raingerminate all grains", every April 19th to 21st, the sun reaches 30degrees in longitude is Grain Rain, it is the so-called "Qingming off the snow,Grain Rain off the frost". When the Grain Rain is coming, it means that the coldweather has basically ended, the temperature rises faster, which is benefit forthe growth of cereal crops.
穀雨源自古人“雨生百穀”之說,每年4月19日~21日,太陽到達黃經30°時即為“穀雨”,正所謂“清明斷雪,穀雨斷霜”。穀雨節氣的到來,意味著寒潮天氣基本結束,氣溫回升加快,有利於穀類農作物的生長。
The term “Grain Rain” is originated from a folk story. When Cang Jie, an official from the Yellow Emperor period, created writing characters, grain came down from sky like rainfall. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor named this day as the “Grain Rain”.
“穀雨”這個名字來源於一個民間傳說。皇帝時期,官員倉頡創造書寫漢字時,無數穀米從天而降,如同下雨一般。因此,皇帝把這天命名為“穀雨”。
When this day comes, the amount of rainfall increases much than the day of “The Rain”, which is very important for the growth of the crops. The temperature in most of the basin areas increases quickly. Apart from the north-west part, most of the basin areas in China reach 20 to 22 degree Celsius.
這一節氣到來時,降雨量增幅比“雨水”這天多很多,這對作物的生長十分重要。在大多數盆地地區,氣溫上升很快。包括西北地區,中國大多數盆地地區氣溫達到20-22攝氏度。
這一天的習俗:
Picking and cooking tea leaves 摘茶葉煮茶葉
Eating cedrela sinensis 吃春椿
Blessing to the sea 穀雨祭海
Admiring Peony 賞牡丹花
