2023年3月英語六級翻譯預(yù)測:二十四節(jié)氣
24 節(jié)氣 (24 solar terms) 是統(tǒng)稱,包括 12 節(jié)氣(12 major solar terms) 和 12 中氣 (12 minor solar terms), 它們彼此之間相互關(guān)聯(lián)。24 節(jié)氣反映了天氣變化,指導(dǎo)農(nóng)業(yè)耕作,也影響著人們的生活。春秋戰(zhàn)國時期,人們開始使用節(jié)氣作為補充歷法 (calendar)。公元前 104 年,24 節(jié)氣最終確立。眾所周知,中國是個有著悠久農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展史的國家。農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)受自然規(guī)律影響極大。在古代,農(nóng)民根據(jù)太陽的運動安排農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)活動。24 節(jié)氣考慮到了太陽的位置,這就是我們重視它的原因。
【參考譯文】
The 24 solar terms are the whole name of the system that consists of 12 major solar terms and 12 minor solar terms linked with each other. It reflects climate change, guides agriculture arrangements, and also affects people’s life. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people began to use solar terms as the supplementary calendar.
It was in 104 B. C. that the 24 solar terms were finally set down. As we all know, China is a country with a long history of agriculture. Agricultural production is largely influenced by the laws of nature. In ancient times, farmers arranged their agricultural activities according to the move of the sun. It is the fact that the 24 solar terms take into account the position of the sun that makes us attach importance to it.
