   今天是清明节,大家都在这个日子缅怀先人。这个中国好传统让许多外国人也羡慕。今天的节目我们就聊聊清明节。


  关键词:
  Tomb-Sweeping Day: 清明节
  Tomb:墓地
  Sweep:扫;比如sweep the floor 扫地
  如何描述清明节的意义?
  Pay respects to relatives who've passed away: 缅怀去世的亲人
  Honor ancestors: 纪念祖先
  Remember someone: 怀念某人
  注意:英语不要轻易用die, dead. 更恰当、更尊重的用词是:
  Pass away: 过世、去世
  Drizzling 1 rain: 雨纷纷
  清明细雨在英语里最好的表达是:
  Drizzling rain
  It's drizzling (outisde).
  怎么描述清明节的祭奠?
  To offer food, alcohol, tea. etc: 带食物、酒、茶祭拜
  清明好传统美国人也羡慕
  美国有清明节吗?
  美国没有全国性的节日,纪念故人通常是个人和家庭行为。
  There's no national holiday similar to Tomb-Sweeping Day in America: 美国没有全国性类似清明的节日
  It's personal and private. 是个人、私人的行为
  People might pay respects on their relatives’ birthdays. 比如去世亲人的生日去缅怀
  That's why Tomb-Sweeping Day is such a great tradition. It gives people a chance to remember their loved ones who've passed away: 这也是为什么清明节是个特别好的传统,让大家有机会在这天怀念故人
  各种墓地的说法
  英语“墓地”的词很多,看看区别:
  Tomb: 大面积的墓地,比如皇陵(an emperor's tomb)
  Grave/grave site: 普通人的墓地
  Grave yard: 坟地,听起来很阴森
  Cemetery: 墓地、墓园
  Green rice balls: 青团
  青团的英语相当直白:
  Green rice balls: 青团
  近年上海流行的网红青团:
  Savory green rich balls with pork floss and salted egg yolk
  Internet sensation: 网红
  分解一下:
  Savory green rice balls: 咸青团
  Pork floss: 肉松
  Salted egg yolk: 咸蛋黄
  异曲同工
  青团的绿和国外养身人士爱喝的小麦草汁还有几分相似:
  Wheat grass juice: 小麦草汁
  The green color in green rice balls comes from vegetable juice: 青团的绿来自青菜汁、艾草等
  记忆永存
  "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure": 当你爱的人成为记忆,这份记忆便成为最珍贵的宝藏
  "Even though they're gone, their memory lives on": 虽然他们走了,但关于他们的记忆却永存

下蒙蒙细雨,下毛毛雨( drizzle的现在分词 )
  • The rain has almost stopped, it's just drizzling now. 雨几乎停了,现在只是在下毛毛雨。
  • It was drizzling, and miserably cold and damp. 外面下着毛毛细雨,天气又冷又湿,令人难受。
