重阳节是中国传统节日,日期在每年农历九月初九日,今天我们就来聊聊重阳节的英语表达。
1. 重阳节的起源
On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, there comes the traditional Chinese holiday: the Double Ninth Festival. The number nine in both the month and the day creates the double nine. The Festival is also called "the Height Ascending Festival" because of the custom of climbing a high mountain.
每年农历九月初九,是中国传统节日“重阳节”。二九相重,称为“重九”,民间在该日有登高的风俗,所以重阳节又称“登高节”。
With a history of over two thousand years, the Double Ninth Festival could be dated back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
重阳节已有两千多年的历史,重阳节的起源最早可以推到春秋战国时期。
The custom of the double ninth day didn’t become a regular festival until the Tang dynasty. From that time on, both court people and ordinary people would celebrate the festival and enjoy a variety of activities on this holiday.
唐朝时,重阳节才被定为正式节日。从此以后,宫廷、民间一起庆祝重阳节,并且在节日期间进行各种各样的活动。
2. 重阳节的习俗
On the Double Ninth Festival, people customarily climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes.
人们在庆祝重阳节时一般会登高、赏菊、喝菊花酒、插茱萸、还要吃糕。
The Double Ninth Festival is also the "Old Men Festival". Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in activities on the day of the festival.
重阳节也是“老人节”。由于九月初九“九九”谐音是“久久”,有长久之意,所以常在此日祭祖与推行敬老活动(老年人尤其应该参加活动来改善他们的健康状况)。
Often, family outings are organised during which people search to renew their appreciation of nature and to reaffirm their love and concern for family members and close friends.
通常,人们会组织家庭郊游,在这期间,人们会重新欣赏大自然,重申对家人和亲密朋友的爱和关心。
3. 重阳节的诗词
Thinking of my Brothers on Mountain Climbing Day
九月九日忆山东兄弟
Alone, a lonely stranger in a foreign land,
独在异乡为异客,
I doubly pine for kinsfolk on a holiday.
每逢佳节倍思亲。
I know my brothers would, with dogwood spray in hand,
遥知兄弟登高处,
Climb up mountain and miss me so far away.
遍插茱萸少一人。
