双语话节气 | 立秋

小编说



立秋,是中国传统二十四节气(the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms或简写为the 24 solar terms)中的第十三个节气,更是秋天的第一个节气,标志着孟秋时节的正式开始。《管子》:“秋者阴气始下,故万物收。”进入秋季,意味着降雨、风暴、湿度等处于一年中的转折点,趋于下降或减少;在自然界,万物开始从繁茂成长趋向萧索成熟。

Beginning of Autumn

       The Beginning of Autumn falls between August 7 and 9 according to the Gregorian calendar (公历). Autumn is a season for harvesting across the country. The Beginning of Autumn is the first solar term of autumn, around which the summer heat still lingers, so its better seen as a transition from summer to autumn. There are still a few days ahead before the real cool autumn comes. According to meteorological standards (气象学标准), if the average temperature of a certain place, for five consecutive days, is between 10℃ and 22℃, then it can be declared that autumn has arrived.

       After the Beginning of Autumn, both the morning and night start to get cool, but its still hot during the day. The last period of the hottest days in a year comes after the Beginning of Autumn. In China, there is a farmers proverb which says: after the Beginning of Autumn, a cow can still be burnt to death. People call unseasonably warm weather occurring after the Beginning of Autumn Qiu Laohu. (literally meaning “Autumn Tiger” in Chinese)

  

       During this time of year, peaches are ripe, hanging heavily in trees, ready to be picked. Although your mouth might be watering, dont forget to wash them over and over again as the hair on its skin will make your hand itchy! Around the Beginning of Autumn, Chinas most romantic festival of the year, the Qixi Festival, arrives.

       The hot summer often causes people to lose their appetites; as a result, many people lose weight during the hot season. When autumn comes, as the coolness sets in, people normally take this opportunity to eat more in order to supplement (补充) what they lost during the summer. Many people in China prefer to eat hotpot with all kinds of meat, which is nicknamed, “gaining some autumn fat”.

立秋

立秋是公历87日到9日之间的一个节气,标志着秋天的开始。在全国范围内也进入了收获的季节。立秋是秋季的第一个节气,夏季的余热仍然延续,所以它更像是从夏天到秋天的一个过渡期。实际上,真正凉爽的秋天还要再过些日子。根据气象学标准,如果某个地方连续五天的平均温度在10℃到22℃之间,才可以宣布秋天的到来。

立秋之后,早晚开始变得凉爽,但白天仍然很热。在立秋之后会迎来一年中最后一段炎热的时期。在中国,来自农民的谚语说道:“秋后一伏,热死老牛”人们把立秋之后不合时宜的炎热天气称为“秋老虎。”

在这个时候,桃子熟了,沉甸甸地挂在树上,可以采摘。你可能已经口水直流,但别忘了反复洗净。因为桃子外皮上的毛会让你的手发痒!在立秋前后,中国最浪漫的节日七夕节就来了。

炎热的夏天常常让人们没有胃口。因此,很多人在这个时候减掉了体重。随着凉意的到来,人们通常会趁机多吃一些来补充夏季损失的营养。在中国,很多人喜欢吃各种肉类的火锅,这种做法被称为“贴秋膘”。
