趣味英语

还记得上期栏目中关于“雨水”的那些英文表达吗？一起复习一下吧~

雨水 Rain Water

降雨量增多 increase in rainfall

气温回升 rise in temperature

倒春寒 return of cold spell

说完雨水，下一个节气是什么呢？

那就是“惊蛰”啦。蛰，是指动物入冬蛰伏土中冬眠的状态。惊蛰，即天上的雷声惊醒了沉睡的万物，所以惊蛰的英文表达就是Awakening of Insects。

惊蛰的名字暗指（alludes to）冬眠的动物在春雷中苏醒（animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder），大地开始恢复生机（come back to life）。此时是春季农业活动的关键时期。

古语云："过了惊蛰节，春耕不能歇（once the Awakening of Insects comes, spring ploughing never rests）"，讲的就是惊蛰对农民的意义。
