有关夏至的英语作文高中

The Solstice of Summer: A Celebration ofLight and LifeThe Solstice of Summer, marking the arrival of the longest day of the year, is a significant event in the cultural calendar of many civilizations. It symbolizes the peak of summer's splendor, a time of prosperity and growth, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, casting its warm glow over the land.In ancient times, the Solstice was a time of celebration and ritual, as people gathered to honor the sun god and pray for a bountiful harvest. Today, while the religious significance of the Solstice may have diminished, it remains a cultural marker, a time to appreciate the beauty of nature and the cycle of life.The Solstice is a celebration of light. As the sun reaches its zenith, it seems to pause in its northward journey, bathing the world in its brightest, most intense rays. This profusion of light brings a sense of jubilation and renewal, a reminder that life is at its fullest during this time of year. The days are long, the nights short, and the world seems to be awash in a sea of golden sunshine.It is also a celebration of life. The Solstice coincides with the peak of summer, a season of abundance and fertility. Fields are green and lush, flowers are in bloom, and animals are at their most active. This is a time of growth and rejuvenation, when nature seems to be at its most vibrant and alive.In many cultures, the Solstice is marked with festivals and traditions that reflect its dual nature as a celebration of both light and life. In some parts of the world, people gather to watch the sunrise or sunset on the Solstice, welcoming the new day or bidding farewell to the old with rites and ceremonies. Others participate in community feasts, sharing food and drink in celebration of the bounty of the season.The Solstice is also a time for reflection. As the sun reaches its highest point, it marks a moment of transition, a reminder that while summer may be at its peak, it is also on the wane. This serves as a metaphor for life itself, a reminder that every peak is followed by a valley, and that the cycle of growth and decay is a natural part of existence.In conclusion, the Solstice of Summer is a unique and significant event that brings together the themes of light, life, and transition. It is a time to celebrate the beauty of nature, to appreciate the bounty of the season, and to reflect on the cycles of life. As the sun reaches its zenith on this special day, let us take a moment to honor its power and celebrate the wonder of the world we inhabit. **夏至：光明与生命的庆典**夏至，标志着一年中最长的一天的到来，是许多文明文化日历上的重要事件。

Busting Summer MythsHere are a few truths about the adages you may have heard over and over again in your childhood.以下是几则你可能童年时就听说过一遍又一遍的神话的真相。

·Wait 30 minutes after eating to go swimming·餐后三十分钟才可以游泳False. No need to wait 30 minutes. The body produces enough blood and carries enough oxygen to digest food and move your arms and legs. For competitive swimmers however, incorrect eating can cause cramping, but not to the point of drowning due to cramps.错误。

不必等待30分钟。

身体会产生充足的血液并且运输足够的氧气去消化食物并运动你的四肢。

然而，对于竞技游泳运动员而言，不正确的饮食可致痉挛，但并不至于由痉挛导致溺亡。

·If water is stuck in your ear, stand on one foot and tilt your head·如果水堵塞了你的耳朵，单脚站立并倾侧你的头部False. Your ear canal is curved, so just tilting your head often isn't enough to release the water. The better move: Tilt your head so the waterlogged ear faces down. Place the tip of your index finger in the cuplike spot at the bottom of your ear, and position your thumb behind the ear on the cartilage above your earlobe. Hold firmly and wiggle your ear to straighten the ear canal and dislodge the water.错误。

But solar term culture is still useful today to guide people’s lives through cultural activities.Great Heat, the 12th solar term of year, began this year on July 22 and ended on August 6. During Great Heat, most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year. Here is something you should know about Great Heat.Great Heat is a season of harvesting (收割). During this time, the sunshine, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall are good for the plants. But many natur al disasters also happen. So, it’s important to harvest and plant in time.Sending the Great Heat ship is a tradition in Taizhou. The ship is full of all kinds of meat. More than 50 fishermen take turns carrying the ship as they walk through the streets. The ship will finally be pulled out of the port and burned at sea. People believe that is a symbol of good harvests and health.Great Heat is a season with most crickets (蝶蜂) in the countryside. Cricket fighting is a popular game for some people in China during this period. The custom dates back over 1,000 years ago.People in different places enjoy different food.

Here are four solar terms and some details about them.Spring EquinoxIt starts around March 21st. During this time, swallows fly back to the north. It is also a goodtime for people to fly kites and eat spring vegetables.Summer SolsticeIt begins around June 21st.

In Chinese, it is called Mangzhong, the ninth solar term (节气) of the twenty-four solar terms, between the Grain Full (小满) and the Summer Solstice (夏至). It usually happens around June 5th and ends around June 21st.Mangzhong is a pun (双关语) on the phrase “busy planting” in Chinese. It describes what a farmer’s life is like during this period. Farmers need to plant various crops, such as beans and sweet potatoes. They also need to harvest (收割) wheat and vegetables in time.During this time, the Middle-Lower Yangtze River enters the rainy season. In southern China, this period is called plum rain season (梅雨季节). Plum rains often happened during June and July. Plums become ripe (熟的) during this time, so this long summer period of rainy or cloudy weather is called the plum rain season. Plum rains might be unpleasant, but plum wine has been popular among the Chinese for thousands of years. Plums are good for people’s health. However, fresh plums taste sour. Therefore, Chinese people usually make wines with them instead of eating them directly. They also use plums to make a sour plum drink and preserved plums (话梅).The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Why not make some plum drinks to help yourself enjoy the summer?14. When does “Grain in Ear” usually begin?A. July 5th.B. June 5th.C. June 21st.15. Why is the period called plum rain season?A. Plums become ripe during this time.B. It often rains during this time.C.

It is the 10th of the solar terms in China. On this day, much of the northern hemisphere（北半球）gets the most hours of daylight.The Summer Solstice tells us the hot days of summer are coming. People have special activities during the time. People in the northern China like Shandong and Beijing have a tradition of eating cold noodles. And in the southern China, the Dragon Boat Races will be held in Shaoxing, Zhejiang on this day. Many people are excited about joining and watching the races.Do you know this Summer Solstice in 2020? People saw another exciting view—the Solar Eclipse. It starts when the moon goes between the Earth and the sun. This year, it lasted about three and a half hours. It was first at sunrise in Africa and moved across to China before the sun goes down. In China, people in some places like Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian could see it. Some people described it as “a ring of fire”. “The next Solar Eclipse will be on 1st June, 2030.” said the scientist.19.

介绍夏至的片段英文作文

介绍夏至的片段英文作文英文回答：Summer solstice, the longest day of the year, marks the astronomical beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. This celestial event, which typically occurs between June20th and 22nd, holds great cultural, historical, and scientific significance.On the summer solstice, the sun reaches its highestpoint in the sky, resulting in the longest period ofdaylight and shortest stretch of darkness. As a result, summer solstice is often celebrated as a time of abundance, growth, and fertility.In ancient cultures, summer solstice was revered as a sacred time, marked by rituals, festivals, and ceremonies. The ancient Greeks and Romans, for instance, held festivals to honor their gods and celebrate the return of the sunafter the long winter months.In modern times, summer solstice continues to be celebrated in many countries around the world. Popular customs include bonfires, picnics, outdoor concerts, and fireworks. In Sweden, for example, people gather around bonfires to sing traditional songs and dance while celebrating Midsommar, a traditional Swedish festival.Beyond its cultural and historical significance, summer solstice also holds scientific importance. It is a key marker in the Earth's seasonal cycle, and its timing can affect weather patterns, plant growth, and animal behavior.For instance, in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice marks the beginning of the warmest part of the year, as the Earth receives more direct sunlight. This increased solar radiation leads to higher temperatures, longer days, and more plant growth.It is important to note that the summer solstice does not occur on the same day every year. Due to the Earth's elliptical orbit around the sun, the exact date and time ofsummer solstice can vary slightly from year to year.中文回答：夏至，北半球一年中白昼最长的一天，标志着夏季在天文意义上的开始。

Summer Solstice is the best season for viewing the aurora in Mohe, "the sleepless town of China".在中国最长的白天有多长？据专家晏家荣（音）表示，如果将黎明和黄昏都算在白昼时间内的话，中国最北端黑龙江漠河的白昼之间最长达到了约17个小时。

夏至也是到“中国不眠城”漠河观赏极光的最好时节。

A public holiday in ancient times2、古人夏至节。

Summer Solstice was an important festival in ancient China. As early as the Han Dynasty (260BC-220), when the Mid-autumn Festival and the Double Ninth Festival were not as important as they are today, the Summer Solstice was already celebrated.在古代，夏至是中国一个很重要的节日。

早在汉代（前260-220年）中秋节和重阳节还没有现代这般受重视时，夏至就已经被当成一个节日来庆祝了。

Before the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), people even had a one-day holiday on Summer Solstice. According to Song Dynasty (960-1279) records, officials could have three days off during the Summer Solstice.清代（1644年-1911年）时，人们甚至会在夏至日放一天假。

据宋代（960年-1279年）的记录显示，官员可以在夏至时放三天假。

To celebrate Summer Solstice, women gave colored fans and sachets to each other. Fans could help them cool down and the sachets could drive away mosquitoes and make them smell sweet.为庆祝夏至，妇女们会互赠彩色扇子和香包。

扇子可以清凉解暑，而香包则可以驱蚊增香。

Seeing the sun turn around3、看着太阳转。

Hani autonomous county of Mojia ng, southwest China’s Yunnan province is located on the northern tropic. Every year on the Summer Solstice, the sun sits directly over the Tropic of Cancer and returns from north to south. Then, the amazing phenomenon known as "upright pole with no shadows" occurs.云南省的墨江哈尼族自治州位于北回归线上。

每年夏至时，太阳直射北回归线，之后逐渐从北向南移动。

然后神奇的“立竿无影”的现象就出现了。

The Hani people revere the sun and have always had a close bond with it. Theywelcome the turn-around of the sun and offer sacrifices to it.哈尼族人敬畏太阳，一直都与太阳有着密切的联系。

他们会为“太阳转”这种现象举行欢迎仪式，并提供祭祀。

Eating noodles4、夏至要吃面。

There is a saying in Shandong province which goes, "eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice and eat noodles on Summer Solstice." People in different areas of Shandong province eat chilled noodles on this day. Other people around China, including those in Beijing, also have a tradition of eating noodles.山东有这样一句俗语“冬至饺子夏至面”。

山东不同地区的人们都会在这一天吃凉面。

包括北京在内的中国其他地区人们也有在夏至吃面的传统。

Dragon boat racing in Zhejiang5、浙江赛龙舟。

Due to the local climate, Dragon boat races have been held on the Summer Solstice day in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province rather than on Dragon Boat Festival since the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. This tradition is still in practice today, with all the attendant excitement.由于当地气候原因，自从明清以来，浙江绍兴都是在夏至才赛龙舟，而不是端午。

这一传统一直被保留到了今天，所有参加的人都非常兴奋。

Summer Solstice idiom6、夏至的成语。

In Chinese, an idiom "杯弓蛇影" is related to Summer Solstice.在中国成语中，“杯弓蛇影”就和夏至有关。

According to the records of Fengsutong (a book about Chinese customs), written by Ying Shao from the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25-220), a man named Du Xuan attended a banquet on Summer Solstice, where he mistook the shadow of a bow in his cup for a snake and he had to drink it out of fear.据东汉（25年-220年）应劭所著《风俗通》记载，一个名叫杜宣的人夏至时参加了一场酒宴，将映在酒杯里的弓影误认为蛇，出于恐惧饮下了酒。

After the banquet, he felt chest pains and a bellyache and couldn’t recover even after seeing many doctors. Finally, he found he had mistaken the shadow of a red crossbow on the wall for a snake in his cup and recovered. Later, people used this idiom to refer to people who are suspicious and frighten themselves.酒宴过后，杜宣胸腹疼痛，遍访名医之后也不见好转。
