时令热词：“冬至”英语怎么说？
<p> 冬至，是二十四节气中的第二是二节气，通常在12月21日或者22日。在这一天，日昼最短夜最长。这些都是我们在地理课本上学到过的。那么，冬至的英语该怎么说呢?</p><p> 冬至：<span word="Winter">Winter</span> <span word="Solstice">Solstice</span></p><p> <span word="solstice">solstice</span>这个词我们不太看到，因为它的意思很特别，表示<span word="the">the</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="either">either</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="longest">longest</span> <span word="day">day</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="year">year</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="shortest">shortest</span> <span word="day">day</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="year">year</span> 。这么看来，这个词的用武之地似乎局限性很大了。基本上也就用在<span word="Winter">Winter</span> <span word="Solstice">Solstice</span>以及<span word="Summer">Summer</span> <span word="Solstice">Solstice</span>之处。</p><p> 冬至这天有啥传统习俗?</p><p> <span word="Winter">Winter</span> <span word="Solstice">Solstice</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="family">family</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="together">together</span>. <span word="One">One</span> <span word="activity">activity</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="occurs">occurs</span> <span word="during">during</span> <span word="these">these</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="togethers">togethers</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="making">making</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="eating">eating</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Tangyuan">Tangyuan</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="balls">balls</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="glutinous">glutinous</span> <span word="rice">rice</span>, <span word="which">which</span> <span word="symbolize">symbolize</span> <span word="reunion">reunion</span>.</p><p> 冬至是家族团聚的一天。在这天，中国南方的家庭会包汤圆、吃汤圆，以象征团圆的意思。不过在中国北方，似乎更多的人会吃饺子。比如说会有冬至到，吃水饺这样的谚语。</p><p> 中国人为什么比较重视冬至?</p><p> 其实，但从中国文化方面讲，冬至这个日子还可以翻译成<span word="Dongzhi">Dongzhi</span> <span word="Festival">Festival</span>，中国人为什么都比较重视这个节气呢?</p><p> <span word="The">The</span> <span word="origins">origins</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="festival">festival</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="traced">traced</span> <span word="back">back</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="yin">yin</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="yang">yang</span> <span word="philosophy">philosophy</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="balance">balance</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="harmony">harmony</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="cosmos">cosmos</span>. <span word="After">After</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="celebration">celebration</span>, <span word="there">there</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="days">days</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="longer">longer</span> <span word="daylight">daylight</span> <span word="hours">hours</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="therefore">therefore</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="increase">increase</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="positive">positive</span> <span word="energy">energy</span> <span word="flowing">flowing</span> <span word="in">in</span>.</p>
