新概念英語-有關立夏的英語你知道嗎

日期：2019-05-06 13:11 點擊：

今天是夏季的第一個節(jié)氣——立夏，也宣示著夏天來啦!好像聞到了瓜果的清香，聽到了夏夜的蟬鳴，還有雨后青蛙充滿生命力的奏鳴......

The Begining of Summer is the first solar term of this summer, which, just like its name, indicates the begining of summer!

Begining of Summer: 立夏

solar term：節(jié)氣

這一天太陽到達黃經45度。斗指東南，萬物至此皆長大，故名立夏也

On this day, the sun reaches the 45 celestial longitude. And the Beidou(or Big dipper) points at the southeast, meanwhile all the living things begin to grow, that's why call it the begining of summer.

北斗，相當于西方說的：Big Dipper, Ursa Major; Plough; Great Bear; Big Dipper,也就是“大熊星”。

astronomical/celestial longitude：天文經度

celestial [s?'lest??l]

adj. 天的，天空的 n. 天人，神仙;(指封建時代的)中國人，天朝之人

《月令七十二候集解》：“立夏，四月節(jié)。立字解見春。夏，假也。物至此時皆假大也。”

欣賞幾首關于立夏的小詩吧!

小池 楊萬里

泉眼無聲惜細流，樹陰照水愛晴柔。

小荷才露尖尖角，早有蜻蜓立上頭。

Without a sound the water flows from the mouth of the spring as if she doesn't want to leave,

The shadow of the trees is reflected on the water surface for she likes the sunny days and the tenderness of the wind.

The little lotus has just risen from the water, yet there is a dragonfly standing upon it long before it blossoms.

飲湖上初晴后雨二首

蘇軾

水光瀲滟晴方好，山色空蒙雨亦奇。

欲把西湖比西子，淡妝濃抹總相宜。

On bright sunny days the water waves with the light sparkling,

And on rainy days the mountains in the distance are covered in the misty air, they come and go from people's eyes, even the misty scene is like a wonder.

I want to compare the West Lake to the beauty Xishi, whether in light or heavy make-up, she looks beautiful in both ways.

西江月·夜行黃沙道中

[ 宋 ] 辛棄疾

明月別枝驚鵲，清風半夜鳴蟬。

稻花香里說豐年。聽取蛙聲一片。

七八個星天外，兩三點雨山前。

舊時茅店社林邊。路轉溪橋忽見。

The bright moonlight travelled across the branches only to startle the magpie who rested on the trees,

Light wind came as if brought me the cries of the cicade.

In the fragrance of the rice flowers, I heard the calls of the frogs as if talking about the rich harvest of this year.

There's heavy cloud above, the stars still flickered while it started to rain a little bit beside the hill.

The old cottage is still beside the woods where the village-god temple stands. I went my way to the source of the stream, suddenly there it appeared.
