Thus the day and night are of equal length, and so are the cold and hot weather." 正如古书《春秋详解》(公元前770-476年)中所说，“在秋分那天，阴阳力量平衡。因此，白天和黑夜一样长，寒冷和炎热的天气也一样。” By Autumn Equinox, most of the areas in China have entered the cool autumn. When the cold air heading south meets the declining warm and wet air, precipitation is the result. The temperature also drops frequently. 到了秋分，我国大部分地区已经进入凉爽的秋季。当南下的冷空气遇到下降的暖湿空气，就产生了降水。气温也频频下降。 Season for eating crab In this ason, crab is delicious. It helps nourish the marrow and clear heat inside the body. 吃螃蟹的季节在这个季节，螃蟹很好吃。它有助于滋养骨髓和清除体内热量。 Eating Qiucai 吃秋菜 In South China, there is a custom popularly known as "having Qiucai (an autumn vegetable) on the Autumn Equinox day". Qiucai is a kind of wild amaranth. Every Autumn Equinox day, all the villagers go to pick Qiucai in the wild. Qiucai is verdant in the field, thin, and about 20 cm in length. Qiucai is taken back and made into soup with fish, called "Qiutang" (autumn soup). There is a ver about the soup: "Drink the soup to clear the liver and intestines, thus the whole family will be safe and healthy". 在中国南方，有一个俗称“秋分吃秋菜”的习俗。秋菜是一种野生苋菜。每年秋分那天，所有的村民都去野外采摘秋菜。秋菜在地里青翠欲滴，细细的，长约20厘米。秋菜被带回去和鱼一起做成汤，叫做“秋汤”(秋汤)。有一句关于汤的诗句:“喝汤清肝润肠，全家平安健康”。 Season for eating various plants By Autumn Equinox, olives, pears, papayas, chestnuts, beans, and other plants enter their pha of maturation. It is time to pick and eat them. 秋分是食用各种植物的季节，橄榄、梨、木瓜、栗子、豆类和其他植物进入成熟期。是时候摘下来吃了。 Season for enjoying osmanthus 赏桂花的季节 The Autumn Equinox is the time to smell the fragrance of osmanthus. At this time, it is hot in the day and cool at night in South China, so people have to wear a single layer when it is hot, and lined clothing when it is cool. This period is named "Guihuazheng" in Chine, which means "osmanthus mugginess". 秋分是闻到桂花香味的时候。这个时候华南白天热，晚上凉，所以天热的时候人们要穿单衣，天凉的时候要穿有内衬的衣服。这个时期被称为“桂花蒸”，意思是“桂花时节闷热”。 Season for enjoying chrysanthemums 欣赏菊花的季节 Autumn Equinox also is a good time to enjoy chrysanthemums in full bloom. 秋分也是欣赏菊花盛开的好时候。 Standing eggs on end 竖鸡蛋 On Autumn Equinox day, thousands of people around the world try to make eggs stand on end. This Chine custom has become the world's game. 在秋分那天，世界上成千上万的人试图让鸡蛋竖立起来。这种中国习俗已经成为世界的游戏。 According to experts, on the Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox, the day and night are of equal time both in the southern and northern hemispheres. The earth's axis, on its 66.5 degree tilt, is in a relative balance of power with the earth's orbit around the sun. Thus it is a very conducive本命年生日祝福 time for standing eggs on end. 据专家介绍，在春分和秋分这两个季节，南半球和北半球的昼夜时间相等。地轴倾斜66.5度，与地球围绕太阳的轨道处于相对的力量平衡。因此，这是一个非常有利于鸡蛋直立的时间。 But some also say that standing the egg has nothing to do with the time. The most important thing is to shift the egg's center of gravity to the lowest part of the egg. In this way, the trick is holding the egg until the yolk sinks as much as possible. For this, you're better off choosing an egg that's about 4 or 5 days old, who yolk is inclined to sink down. 但也有人说，立蛋与时间无关。最重要的是把鸡蛋的重心转移到鸡蛋的最低处。这样，诀窍就是拿着鸡蛋，直到蛋黄尽可能下沉。为此，你最好选择一个大约4或5天大的鸡蛋，它的蛋黄倾向于下沉。 Sacrificing to the moon Originally, the festival of sacrificing to the moon was t on Autumnal Equinox day. According to historical records, as early as the Zhou Dynasty (c. 11th century-256BC), the ancient kings by custom sacrificed to the sun on the Spring Equinox, and to the moon on the Autumn Equinox. 最初，祭月节是在秋分那天。根据历史记载，早在周朝(约11世纪-公元前256年)，古代国王按照习俗在春分时祭祀太阳，在秋分时祭祀月亮。 But the moon won't be full during Autumn Equinox. If there was no moon to make sacrifices to, it would spoil the fun. Thus, the day was changed to the Mid-Autumn Day. 但是秋分的时候月亮不会圆。如果没有月亮作为祭品，那就没意思了。因此，这一天被改为中秋节。 | NOTES ✪红色：词汇 ☑蓝色：短语 ※黄色：语法总结，长难句 阅读综合练习在文后 ✪equinox/ˈekwɪnɒks/n. 春分；秋分；昼夜平分点 Autumn Equinox：秋分 ✪midpoint/ˈmɪdpɔɪnt/n. 中点；正中央 ※dividing autumn into two equal parts：现在分词dividing短语做谓语动词lies的伴随状语。 ※making days shorter and nights longer in the northern hemisphere：现在分词making短语做结果状语。 The Detailed Records of the Spring and Autumn Period：春秋详解 ※It is on Autumn Equinox day that the Yin and Yang are in a balance of power：强调句，去掉It is ...that，仍然是一个完整的句子（on Autumn Equinox day, the Yin and Yang are in a balance of power.） of equal length:一样长 the cold air heading south：南下的冷空气，heading south现在分词做后置定语，修饰air。 ✪precipitation/prɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃ(ə)n/n. 降水（如雨，雪，冰雹）；沉淀，淀析；仓促，鲁莽，轻率；坠落 ✪marrow/ˈmærəʊ/ n. 骨髓，髓 nourish the marrow：滋养骨髓 ✪amaranth/ˈæməˌrænθ/n. 紫红色；不凋花；苋属植物 ✪verdant/ˈvɜːd(ə)nt/adj. 青翠 的；翠绿的；没有经验的；不老练的 in length：在长度上 ✪ver/vɜːs/n. 诗，韵文；诗节 ✪intestine/ɪnˈtestɪn/n. （脊椎动物的）肠；（尤指无脊椎动物的）肠管 adj. 内部的，国内的 clear the liver and intestines：清肝润肠 ✪olive/ˈɒlɪv/n. 橄榄；橄榄树；橄榄色 ✪papaya/pəˈpaɪə/n. 番木瓜，木瓜；番木瓜树 ✪chestnut/ˈtʃesnʌt/n. 栗子；栗色；[园艺]栗树；栗色马 adj. 栗色的 ✪pha/feɪz/n. （发展或变化的）阶段，时期 ✪maturation/ˌmætʃuˈreɪʃn/n. 成 熟；化脓；生殖细胞之形成 mature/məˈtʃʊə(r)/ adj. 明白事理的；成熟的；像成人似的 公租房申请v. 成熟；长成 ✪osmanthus/ɒzˈmænθəs/ n.桂花 ✪fragrance/ˈfreɪɡrəns/n. 芳香，香气；香水 ✪layer /ˈleɪə(r)/ n. 层；表层；层次；阶层 v. 把…分层堆放 single layer:单衣，单层 ✪lined/laɪnd/adj. 有内衬的；具线纹的 lined clothing：有内衬的衣服 ✪mugginess n. 闷热 muggy/ˈmʌɡi/ adj. 闷热潮湿的 ✪chrysanthemum/krɪˈsænθə məm/ n. 菊花 in full bloom：盛开 stand on end：竖着放；立置 ✪axis /ˈæksɪs/ n. 轴（旋转物体假想的中心线） earth's axis：地轴 ✪tilt /tɪlt/ n. 倾斜，倾侧，倾斜度；（对某人、某信仰或某行为的）倾向，偏向 v. （使）倾斜，（使）倾侧；（使）倾向于，（使）偏向于 He answered with a tilt of his head. 他歪着头回答。 a relative balance of power：相对的力量平衡 ✪conducive/kənˈdjuːsɪv/既组词有哪些adj. 有助的，有益的 ✪yolk/jəʊk/n. 蛋黄；[胚] 卵黄 ✪inclined/ɪnˈklaɪnd/adj. 有……意向，倾向于……；对……有兴趣的，有天赋的；倾斜的，有坡度的 incline /ɪnˈklaɪn/ v. 点头；（使）倾向于；（使）倾斜 be inclined to： 女人最佳生育年龄倾向于……；有意 The partly deaf man inclined forward to hear the conversation more clearly. 那个耳背的人向前倾斜着身子， 以便听清谈话。 sink down下沉 Love makes you grow up or sink down. 爱情，要么让人成熟，要么让人堕落。 ✪originally/əˈrɪdʒənəli/adv.起 初，原来；独创地，新颖地 The vote date was originally t for tomorrow. 投票日期原本定在明天。 original /əˈrɪdʒən(ə)l/adj. 起初的，原先的；原作的，真迹的 I will nd the original to you by post. 我将把原件邮寄给你。 originate /əˈrɪdʒɪneɪt/ v. 起源，产生；创始，开创 Current rvices originate in two key measures. 当前的服务起源于两个关键措施。 be t :设置， 决心要 |
