转眼夏日已经到了收尾的日子
农谚有“早晨立了秋,晚上凉飕飕”
“立秋一日,水冷三分”之说
怎么用英语表达立秋这个节气呢?
立秋是中国传统二十四节气中的第十三个节气,标志着夏日的结束和秋天的到来。所以立秋的英文表达为Start of Autumn.
尽管立秋的到来预示着凉爽秋日的开始
但酷热的天气并未完全结束
“秋老虎”的威力不容小觑!

英语诗词
秋 词
刘禹锡
自古逢秋悲寂寥,我言秋日胜春朝。
晴空一鹤排云上,便引诗情到碧霄。
Song of Autumn
By Liu Yuxi (许渊冲译)
Since olden days we feel in autumn sad and drear;
But I say spring cannot compete with autumn clear.
On a fine day a crane cleaves the clouds and soars high;
It leads the poet's lofty mind to azure sky.
