“小暑”的英文是什么？丨双语说节气

“小暑”是中国传统二十四节气（the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms）中的第十一个节气。“小暑”时节天气已步入炎热的阶段，但并未达到极热状态，因而其英文表达为Minor Heat。

Minor Heat signifies the hottest period is coming but the extreme hot point has yet to arrive.

“小暑”标志着一年当中最炎热的时段渐渐逼近，但最酷热的时候还未到来。

小暑期间，防汛抗旱工作是重要农事活动。

2020年7月1日，重庆市綦江区綦江河水位上涨。

One of the prevailing farming activities during Minor Heat is staying on top of flood control and drought relief.

stay on top of：掌握，知道

flood control and drought relief：防汛抗旱

如何优雅地度过漫漫夏日？让双语君（微信ID：Chinadaily_Mobile）为你出谋划策。

赏莲花朵朵开

“小暑大暑正清和，荷花香风透凉阁。”

盛夏时节，公园池塘中盛放的莲花身姿袅娜，像清风一般，拨开湿闷的暑气，直抵人心房。

2020年7月5日，北京玉渊潭公园里绽放的荷花。

In Minor Heat, high temperatures are good for the growth of the lotus flower. From Minor Heat to the Double Ninth Festival, the lotus flower is in full bloom, and always simple but elegant.

小暑时的高温很适合莲花的生长。从小暑到重阳节，莲花一直处于全盛花期，朴素而高雅。

Double Ninth Festival：重阳节

萤萤星光筑美梦

如果你生活在乡间，或许可以在树林中、田野里看到萤火虫的身影。它们的点点星光，会为你编织一个夏夜的美梦。

Minor Heat is the season when fireflies become lively. Zhu Shuzhen, a woman of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), once described in her famous poem Summer Firefliesa happy scene of children playing with fireflies in the woods at night.

小暑是萤火虫活跃的时节。南宋女诗人朱淑真在她著名的诗歌《夏萤》中，描绘了一幅孩童于林间夜戏萤火虫的美景。

夏萤

朱淑真

熠熠迎宵上，林间点点光。

初疑星错落，浑讶火荧煌。

著雨藏花坞，随风入画堂。

儿童竞追扑，照字集书囊。

晒伏

小暑期间，日照充足，许多家庭趁机把衣柜里的衣服被褥拿到户外晾晒，祛湿防霉，这就是所说的“晒伏”。

During the Minor Heat period, with the longest amount of sunlight and the strongest sunlight radiation, many families hang their clothes out in the sun to prevent mildew.

小暑期间，光照时间最长，辐射也处于最强状态，许多家庭会把衣物拿去晒太阳，防止发霉。

吃饺子

饺子是典型的家庭美食，我们冬至吃，春节也吃……现在告诉大家，小暑也要吃饺子，惊喜不惊喜？

When the "dog day" comes, people tend to lose their appetites, and dumplings can refresh people's feelings toward food.

当“三伏天”到来的时候，人们通常没什么胃口，而饺子可以唤起食欲。

dog day：三伏天（指一年中最热的时段）

注：三伏天，出现在小暑与处暑节气之间，是一年中气温更高且潮湿、闷热的日子。

凉凉的西瓜，你要吃一块嘛

夏日顶配有仨：空调、WIFI、西瓜。小暑期间，正值各种瓜果丰收上市，天南地北，大家都成了“吃瓜群众”。

One custom in Nanjing, Jiangsu province has to do with enjoying *** all melons on the day of Minor Heat and having big melons on the day of Major Heat. Small and big melons normally refer to cantaloupes and watermelons.

江苏省南京市有“小暑当天吃小甜瓜，大暑当天吃大甜瓜”的习俗。“小甜瓜”和“大甜瓜”通常指哈密瓜和西瓜。

夏天很热，西瓜冰爽

要天天保持好心情哦

The protection ofnational and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese culturaldiversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic andsocial development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays specialattention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a localdrama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, somemeasures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To startwith, we should make a law to regulate the society’sperformance. Besides, we should draw more people’sattention to it, for the more they know about the importance of cultureprotection, the stronger support we can get from the public.

In a word, it ishigh time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

“端午节”用英语怎么说？是“Duanwu Festival”吗？

2020年过得实在太快了，开年时因为疫情，大家不得不在家宅了两个月，接下来还没上几天班，就迎来了清明节、劳动节，可不，现在又到端午节了~

关于端午节的起源，有很多版本，但是流传最为广泛的是屈原投江的故事。

屈原是战国时期的政治家，同时也是一名伟大的诗人。他爱国爱民，深受百姓的尊敬和爱戴，却由于被嫉妒而受到陷害，逐渐被皇帝冷落。由于无法得到皇帝重用，并且眼看着自己的国家沦陷，于是屈原投入汨罗江自尽。

据说，屈原投江后，百姓们怕江水里的鱼吃掉他的身体，纷纷回家拿来米团投进江中。后来这就发展为吃粽子的习俗。

此外，也有人认为在伍子胥自刎被投江后，为了纪念伍子胥而有了端午节。

不过，不管是何由来，我国端午节的习俗都一直延续至今。

那么，端午节用英语该怎么说呢？除了吃粽子、划龙舟，端午节还有哪些习俗？用英语又该怎么表达呢？

下面，一起来学学吧！

此外，也可以直接用拼音Duanwu加上节日Festival，即Duanwu Festival来表示端午节。

但是，在外国人眼里，端午节重大的标志就是赛龙舟，所以他们更习惯说 Dragon Boat Festival。

eg. The Dragon Boat Festival will come in a few days.

甜粽子，sweet Zongzi/ sweet rice dumpling
