“大雪”的英文，不是big snow，90%的人都用错了！

时间来到了12月7日，2023年也不知不觉进入了尾声。

在中国的二十四节气中，今天是大雪节气。

大雪节气介绍

大雪节气对应的英文是“Greater Snow”，“Major Snow”也是一种常见的用法。

Today is theGreater Snow, which is the third seasonal node of winter and last before the pinnacle of Winter is upon us - the Winter Solstice. The days are getting shorter and the temperature is getting lower.

今天是大雪节气。它是冬季的第三个节气，也是冬至到来前的最后一个节气。自此以后，白天越来越短，气温也越来越低。

During the three lunar months of winter, people are encouraged to have an early bedtime and late start when the sun had already risen.Keep warmis paramount and avoid sweating. Thus, people are encouraged to stay indoors. Organs linked to this time of year are the kidneys and sleep is said to be the answer to protecting Kidney.

在农历冬季的三个月里，建议早睡晚起。保暖是当务之急，应避免出过多的汗。因此，人们应尽量多待在室内。每年这个时候，需要重点保护我们的肾脏，而据说睡眠有助于保护肾脏。

需要注意的是，我们一般讲下大雪，这里的“大”着重强调的是雪的厚度，即雪下得越大，积雪就越厚。 所以，大雪应该说成heavy sno w，千万别再说成big snow了！

例句：Heavy snow has covered the ground.

大雪复盖了地面。
