“谷雨”是中國傳統(tǒng)二十四節(jié)氣中的第六個(gè)節(jié)氣，也是春季的最后一個(gè)節(jié)氣。此時(shí)降雨量明顯增加，正好滿足了谷物類農(nóng)作物生長的需要，所以“谷雨”節(jié)氣的英文翻譯為： 今天我們來看看如何用英文描述谷雨這一節(jié)氣，學(xué)會(huì)用英文講述節(jié)氣的故事，傳播中國文化。The traditional Chinese calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms. Gǔyù (pīnyīn) or more commonly pronounced as Gǔyǔ, "grain rain" in English, is the 6th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 30° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 45°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 30°, which in the Gregorian calendar is around April 19-21.傳統(tǒng)農(nóng)歷將一年劃分為24個(gè)節(jié)氣。Gǔyù（pīnyīn），更常見的發(fā)音為Gǔyǔ，英文為grain rain（“谷物雨”）是一年中第6個(gè)節(jié)氣。它始于太陽到達(dá)黃經(jīng)30°，結(jié)束于太陽到達(dá)黃經(jīng)45°。它更常指的是太陽正處于黃經(jīng)30°的日子，在公歷中，通常在4月19-21日。Each solar term can be divided into 3 pentads (候). They are: first pentad (初候), second pentad (次候) and last pentad (末候). Pentads in Guyu include:每個(gè)節(jié)氣可分為三候：初候、次候和末候。谷雨的三候?yàn)椋?/span>

“谷雨”這個(gè)節(jié)氣的名稱來源于俗語“雨生百谷”，這顯示出，在這段時(shí)間內(nèi)雨水對(duì)于莊稼的生長是非常重要的。谷雨象征著寒冷天氣的終結(jié)和溫度的大幅度上升。最后我們一起來學(xué)習(xí)一下二十四節(jié)氣的英文名稱：Start of Spring 立春 Rain Water 雨水 Awakening of Insects 驚蟄 Vernal Equinox 春分 Clear and Bright 清明 Grain Rain 谷雨 Start of Summer 立夏 Grain Full 小滿 Grain in Ear 芒種 Summer Solstice 夏至 Minor Heat 小暑 Major Heat 大暑 Start of Autumn 立秋 Limit of Heat 處暑 White Dew 白露 Autumnal Equinox 秋分 Cold Dew 寒露 Frost Descent 霜降 Start of Winter 立冬 Minor Snow 小雪 Major Snow 大雪 Winter Solstice 冬至 Minor Cold 小寒 Major Cold 大寒 Now it's your time to open your mouth and practice!Have fun learning English!
