2023

今天6月21日就是夏至啦，小伙伴们有没有感受到夏天的火辣呢？是不是感觉自己马上要被晒干了？高温也不要烦躁哦！

关于夏至的英文表达，你知道怎么说嘛？下面跟着小编一起来学习吧~

夏 至

“夏至”古时又称“夏节”、“夏至节”，是我国最早的节日之一，夏至过后，天气会越来越热。

“夏至”的英语是Summer Solstice (the day of the year with the most hours of daylight)

solstice /'sɑlstəs/ 的意思是：至，至日；至点。所以，summer+solstice 就是“夏至”的意思啦。

夏至的相关表达

“Summer Solstice” comes on June 21 to June 22 each year when the sun altitude arrive the highest in north. This day has the longest day time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the sunshine in many cities in south China may last fourteen hours per day.After this day, the spot of the direct sunlight gradually moves southward.
"夏至”在每年6月21日-6月22日到来，这时候太阳直射点位于北半球最高点。这天北半球白昼时间达到一年最长，在中国南部地区的日照时长能达到14小时。夏至以后，太阳直射点逐渐向南移动。

Like other solar terms, Xiazhi is also divided into three pentads, which refers to the changes happened in animals and plants according to ancient Chinese people. The three pentads in Xiazhi are: the antlers of deer will begin to fall; the singing of cicada can be heard frequently; and a type of Chinese herb medicine called Banxia (crow-dipper) will thrive. These phenomena are strongly related to the hot and humid climate during the Xiazhi.

和其他节气一样，夏至也分为三候，指的是中国古代动植物发生的变化。《夏至》的三候是:一候鹿角解；二候蝉始鸣；三候半夏生。这些现象与夏至期间的湿热气候密切相关。

吃夏至面

我国有一句俗语：“冬至饺子，夏至面”，吃夏至面是我国汉族的一种传统风俗。

There is a saying in China: “Eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice and noodles on the Summer Solstice.” Eating noodles during the Summer Solstice is a traditional custom for the Han Chinese.

不同的地区流行的夏至面各有特色，有些地区的人相信夏天属火，所以吃生冷的食物既能降暑，又不会因寒凉损害肠胃，所以他们会在夏至用凉水冷却煮熟的面条，捞出后加入料汁制成凉面。

Different regions have their own special Summer Solstice noodles. People in some areas believe summer falls under the Fire Element (one of the five basic elements in Chinese philosophy), and that eating cold food at this time can relieve the summer heat without putting too much burden on the stomach. So, during the Summer Solstice, they make cold noodles by cooling them in cold water and then mixing them with sauce.

吃夏至面的习俗也源自于农业：此时夏收麦子已经完成收获，用新麦做成面条品尝，也有尝新和祈福的意味。

This eating custom has its roots in agriculture. By this time, the summer wheat has been harvested. Making noodles with the new wheat is a good way to taste the new grains and pray for good luck.
