轉(zhuǎn)眼夏日已經(jīng)到了收尾的日子,農(nóng)諺有“早晨立了秋,晚上涼颼颼”,“立秋一日,水冷三分”之說(shuō),怎么用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)立秋這個(gè)節(jié)氣呢?
立秋是中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)二十四節(jié)氣中的第十三個(gè)節(jié)氣,標(biāo)志著夏日的結(jié)束和秋天的到來(lái)。所以立秋的英文表達(dá)為Start of Autumn.
盡管立秋的到來(lái)預(yù)示著涼爽秋日的開始,但酷熱的天氣并未完全結(jié)束,“秋老虎”的威力不容小覷!
1. 立秋的氣候特征
立秋三候
First pentad 初候:涼風(fēng)至
Cool wind comes
Second pentad 次候:白露降
White dew falls
Last pentad 末候:寒蟬鳴
Cold cicadas chirp
秋老虎
The period of hot days after Start of Autumn, usually lasting for 30 days, is called "Autumn Tiger" or "Indian Summer". Because of the decreasing precipitation, it is even more sweltering during this period than during Major Heat.
立秋之后的高溫天氣通常會(huì)持續(xù)30天左右,這就是人們所說(shuō)的“秋老虎”。由于降雨量減少,這段時(shí)間甚至比大暑時(shí)更加悶熱。
Autumn Tiger:秋老虎
sweltering:悶熱的
秋收
Start of Autumn is a big solar term for farmers. It is time to gather crops. There is a saying: "If it rains on the day of Start of Autumn, a good harvest is expected."
對(duì)于農(nóng)民來(lái)說(shuō),立秋是一個(gè)非常重要的節(jié)氣——收莊稼的時(shí)候到了!有句諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)得好“立秋下雨萬(wàn)物收”,即是說(shuō)立秋如果下雨就會(huì)有好收成。
一葉知秋
When it comes to this season, the leaves of the phoenix tree start to fall, thus there is a saying of "One leaf falls, autumn arrives." When the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 135 degrees, summer is passing away and the weather turns cold gradually. People can feel the wind getting cool and see fogs in the morning sometimes.
每到這個(gè)季節(jié),梧桐樹開始落葉,由此得來(lái)一種說(shuō)法“一葉知秋”。當(dāng)太陽(yáng)直射點(diǎn)到達(dá)天文經(jīng)度135°時(shí),夏天就過(guò)去了,天氣也逐漸轉(zhuǎn)冷。人們可以感覺到風(fēng)漸冷,時(shí)而早上會(huì)見到霧。
2. 立秋的節(jié)氣習(xí)俗
貼秋膘
On the day of Start of Autumn, usually people will weigh themselves and compare their weight to what it was on the day of Start of Summer. If one has lost weight during summer, then at the beginning of autumn, he or she needs to flesh out by eating many different kinds of delicious food, especially meat.
在立秋第一天,人們通常會(huì)稱自己的體重,和立夏時(shí)的體重作比較。如果在夏天體重下降了,那么秋天開始的時(shí)候,人們就會(huì)吃許多美味的食物來(lái)進(jìn)補(bǔ),特別是肉食。
咬秋
In Shandong province, people make dumplings on the day of Start of Autumn, and they call it "Eating the Autumn". On that day, senior members of the family will stand in the middle of the hall, worshiping a bowl of cereal, and praying for the harvest in autumn. Most of the families will eat dumplings together after Start of Autumn.
在山東,人們會(huì)在立秋包餃子吃,這被稱為“咬秋”。在立秋那天,家里的老人會(huì)站在屋子中間,守著一碗麥片粥,祈求秋天豐收。立秋過(guò)后,大多數(shù)家庭都會(huì)在一起吃餃子。

Song of Autumn
By Liu Yuxi (許淵沖譯)
Since olden days we feel in autumn sad and drear;
But I say spring cannot compete with autumn clear.
On a fine day a crane cleaves the clouds and soars high;
It leads the poet's lofty mind to azure sky.
