“夏至”是二十四节气中的第十个节气,也是最早被确定的一个节气,古时又称“夏节”、“夏至节”,这样一个热情似火的节气,用英语怎么说呢?
1. 夏至的英文表达
节气 “夏至” 的英文是Summer Solstice。
· solstice /'sɑlstəs/ 的意思是:至,至日;至点。所以,summer+solstice 就是“夏至”的意思。
2. 夏至的节气特征
The summer solstice is the 10th of the twenty-four solar terms. On the day of the summer solstice, the sun's direct position on the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year, almost directly hitting the Tropic of Cancer, at which point the daytime time in all parts of the northern hemisphere reaches the longest time of the year.
夏至,是二十四节气的第10个节气。夏至这天,太阳直射地面的位置到达一年的最北端,几乎直射北回归线,此时,北半球各地的白昼时间达到全年最长。
From the "summer solstice", after three "Geng days", it enters the hottest three-volt day of the year, the so-called "summer solstice three Geng-Ku number of volts". High temperatures, high humidity and occasional thunderstorms are characteristics of the weather after the summer solstice.
从“夏至”起,经过三个“庚日”,便进入一年中最热的三伏天,所谓“夏至三庚数头伏”。气温高、湿度大、不时出现雷阵雨,是夏至后的天气特点。
