为什么美国人把秋天叫作fall？真相原来是这个！
<p>学英语的人一般都知道，秋天有<span word="autumn">autumn</span>和<span word="fall">fall</span>两种说法，只不过英国人一般把秋天叫作<span word="autumn">autumn</span>，而美国人在指代秋天的时候常常会用另一个说法：<span word="fall">fall</span>（落下）。有的人以为<span word="autumn">autumn</span>是传统说法，而<span word="fall">fall</span>是现代别称，其实<span word="fall">fall</span>的历史比<span word="autumn">autumn</span>还要悠久。</p><p><span word="September">September</span> 23, 2019, <span word="marks">marks</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="start">start</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="season">season</span>—<span word="but">but</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="exactly">exactly</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="should">should</span> <span word="call">call</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="season">season</span> <span word="depends">depends</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="where">where</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="world">world</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="whom">whom</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="ask">ask</span>. <span word="In">In</span> <span word="Great">Great</span> <span word="Britain">Britain</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="third">third</span> <span word="season">season</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="year">year</span> <span word="usually">usually</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="name">name</span>: <span word="autumn">autumn</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="if">if</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="hop">hop</span> <span word="across">across</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Atlantic">Atlantic</span>, <span word="you">you</span>'<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="find">find</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="use">use</span> <span word="both">both</span> <span word="fall">fall</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="autumn">autumn</span> <span word="interchangeably">interchangeably</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="referring">referring</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="year">year</span>, <span word="making">making</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="season">season</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="English">English</span> <span word="language">language</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="widely">widely</span> <span word="accepted">accepted</span> <span word="names">names</span>. <span word="So">So</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="season">season</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="makes">makes</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="special">special</span>?</p><p>2019年9月23日（秋分）标志着新季节的开始，但是你应该如何称呼这个季节取决于你在世界上的哪个地方以及你问的是哪国人。在英国，一年的第三个季节通常都只有一个名字：<span word="autumn">autumn</span>。但如果你横跨大西洋，你会发现人们交替使用<span word="fall">fall</span>和<span word="autumn">autumn</span>来指代秋天，于是秋天便成了英语中唯一一个拥有两个广为接受的名字的季节。那么是什么让这个季节如此特别呢？</p>
