四六级文明翻译备考如何用英语介绍我国传统节日清明节_网易订阅

清明节是我国重要的传统节日。从二十四节气上讲，它又是节气之一。它是仅有一个节日和节气并存的日子，可见古人对这一天的注重程度。

清明的具体日期在二月和暮春之交，大约阴历4月4、5、6日之间。此时，气候转暖，大地回春，万物复苏，一片活力盎然，家家门口插柳条，祭扫坟墓和城外郊游。农谚中也有"清明忙种粟"的说法。

今日一同广泛一下清明节的有关常识吧：

“清明”英文怎么讲

作为我国人，关于这些从小看大的风俗咱们当然不会陌生，可假定问你“清明”用英文怎么讲、你就未必晓得了吧！

首要咱们要理解的是：作为节日的清明节、和作为节气的清明节，它们的英文说法是不一样的。

作为节日的清明节一般翻译为"Tomb Sweeping festival"或许"Tomb-sweeping Day"，上坟节或上坟日。这个翻译偏重偏重了清明节的重要风俗“上坟”。这种说法的优点是，老外一听就能大约理解这个节日的不和意义。

也有人把清明节翻译为"All Souls'Day"，这是一种站在对方文明视点思考做出的翻译。因为"All Souls'Day"在西方是的确存在的节日，一般称为“万灵日”。这是一个宗教节日，在有的教派里甚至不止一天。教会会在这一天为那些去世后无法进入地狱的信徒恳求，期望他们提行进入地狱。其根柢意义和清明节类似，也是祭拜死者的节日。

另外再谈到作为节气的清明，它被译为"Clear and Bright"，清洗和亮堂。咱们也不难发现，这种译法偏重的是清明时节的气候情况，和其他节气的翻译启航点共同。比方立夏被译为"Summer begins"、小寒、大寒别离被译为"Slight cold"和"Great cold"。

有关清明节的来历

ORIGIN（来历）

Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Zhui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his starving lord's life by serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small principality, he invited his faithful follower to join him. However, Jie declined his invitation, preferring to lead a hermit's life with his mother in the mountains.

谈到清明节，有点前史常识的人，都会联想到前史人物介子椎。据前史记载，在两千多年早年的春秋年代，晋国公子重耳流亡在外，日子艰苦，跟从他的介子椎不吝从自个的腿上割下一块肉让他果腹。后来，重耳回到晋国，作了国君（即晋文公，春秋五霸之一），大事封赏一切跟从他流亡在外的随从，只有介子椎回绝承受封赏，他带了母亲隐居绵山。

Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. To his consternation, Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to death. To commemorate Jie, the lord ordered all fires in every home to be put out on the anniversary of Jie's death. Thus began the "cold food feast", a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit.

晋文公无计可施，只好放火烧山，他想，介子椎孝顺母亲，必定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火却把介子椎母子烧死了。为了留念介子椎，晋文公命令每年的这一天，阻止生火，家家户户只能吃生冷的食物，这就是寒食节的来历。

The "cold food" festival occurs on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes, the Qing Ming festival replaced the "cold food" festival. Whatever practice is observed，the basic observation of Qing Ming is to remember one's elders by making a special effort to visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets. To make the visit even more meaningful, some time should be spent to remind the younger members of the family of the lives and contributions of their ancestors, and the story of Jie Zi Zhui who choose death over capitulation.

寒食节是在清明节的前一天，古人常把寒食节的活动连续到清明，一朝一夕，清明替代了寒食节。拜介子椎的风俗也变成了清明上坟的风俗了。不管以何种方法留念，为了使留念祖先的典礼更有意义，咱们大约让年青一代的家庭成员晓得祖先曩昔的斗争前史，当然，还要学习介子椎宁死不平的时令。

清明节风俗

清明节是一个特别的日子，在这一天然生成者为他们死去的亲友献上敬意。(Tomb-Sweeping Day falls on April 4th or 5th. This is a special day for the living to show their love and respect for dead friends and relatives.)每当清明时节，我国人会去上坟祭祖，在祖先坟前献上祭品、鲜花，烧些纸钱。有的人还会写悼文，思念逝去的亲人。

说到“纸钱”，英语中是怎么表述的呢?我们可以第一时刻想到的就是paper money。不过字面上它是“纸钱”的意思，实践上paper money的意思是“纸质钱银”，与metal money(金属钱银)相对应，不是烧给死者的纸钱噢!那么，烧给死者的“纸钱”怎么表达呢?可以用joss paper或hell bank notes标明。

除了传统的祭祀方法，这些年，“绿色祭扫”逐骤变成我们上坟的一种新趋势。不只经济环保，还避免了烧纸钱等传统方法带来的火灾风险。“绿色祭扫”的方法有许多，如网上祭扫(online tomb-sweeping)和网络留念馆(Internet memorial)等。

上坟 grave

At the Qingming Festival (Tomb-Sweeping Day), people usually worship their ancestors by burning incense and paper money at their ancestors' grave sites. People show respect to their ancestors by visiting their graves, and offering food, wine, flower, etc. They sweep the tombs, removing weeds, and adding

fresh soil to the graves, stick willow branches on the tomb, and burn paper money. They pray before their ancestors' graves and beseech them to bless their families. However, the custom has been greatly simplified today, especially in cities, where only flowers are presented to the dead.

清明节，我们一般在祖先坟前焚香烧纸，拜祭祖先。我们来到祖先坟前，供上食物、酒水、鲜花等，以示敬意。他们上坟、除草、添土，在墓上插柳并燃烧纸钱。他们在祖先坟前祷告，恳求他们保佑家人。可是，如今的风俗已大大简化，特别是在城里，他们只向逝者献花。

荡秋天 On the Swings

这是我国古代清明节风俗。秋千，意即揪着皮绳而搬场。它的前史很陈旧，最早叫千秋，后为了避忌讳，改之为秋千。古时的秋千多用树桠枝为架，再栓上彩带做成。后来逐步打开为用两根绳子加上踏板的秋千。荡秋千不只可以增进安康，而且可以培育英勇精力，至今为我们特别是儿童所喜爱。

This is the qingming festival custom in ancient China. Swing, ie, ripping up the leather rope and migration. Its history is very old, the first call and consent, in

order to avoid taboo, after change it as a swing. Ancient tree swing multi-purpose YaZhi for frame, bolt ribbons made again. Then gradually developed to use two rope and a pedal swing. Swing can not only improve health, but also can cultivate the spirit of brave, for people, especially children's favorite.

插柳

Insert willow

传闻，插柳的风俗，也是为了留念“教民稼穑”的耕耘祖师神农氏的。有的当地，我们把柳枝插在屋檐下，以预告气候。清明节谚有“柳条青，雨毛毛；柳条干，晴了天”的说法。黄巢起义时规则，以“清明为期，戴柳为号”。起义失利后，戴柳的风俗渐被选择，只需插柳盛行不衰。柳树有健壮的生命力，俗?担骸坝行脑曰ɑú环ⅲ扌牟辶梢瘛！绷醪逋辆突睿宓侥睦铮畹侥睦铮昴瓴辶ΥΤ梢酢?/p>

It is said that the work of the customs, is to commemorate the "leisure farm" of farming father of the emperor shen nung. In some places, people placed willow branches under the eaves, to predict the weather. Tomb-sweeping day is the "willow green, rain receive; the wicker dry, sunny days". Huang Chao uprising rules, to "for the tomb-sweeping day, Dai Liu to date". After a failed uprising, the custom of Dai Liu gradually be eliminated, only liu fixture. Willow has strong vitality, as the saying goes: "many hair, accidentally a remarkable." Wicker soil lived, where, where to live, year after year, colorful everywhere.

清明插柳戴柳还有一种说法：正本我国人以清明、七月半和十月朔为三大鬼节，是百鬼出没讨索之时。我们为避免鬼的侵扰虐待，而插柳戴柳。柳在我们的心目中有辟邪的功用。受释教的影响，我们认为柳可以却鬼，而称之为“鬼怖木”，观世音以柳枝沾水济度众生。北魏贾思勰《齐民要术》里说：“取柳枝著户上，百鬼不入家。”清明既是鬼节，值此柳条发芽时节，我们天然纷繁插柳戴柳以辟邪了。

Qingming festival work Dai Liu has a saying: the original Chinese to the tomb-sweeping day, half July and October back to three Halloween, beg suo is haunted by a ghost. People in order to prevent the intrusion of ghost persecuted, and willow Dai Liu. Willow has the function of to ward off bad luck in people's mind. Influenced by Buddhism, willow were thought to ghost, and call it "ghost some wood", the goddess of mercy to switch touch water to degrees of living beings. In the northern wei jia sixie qimin yaoshu said: "take willow branches on the door, a ghost does not enter the house." On the occasion of the willow germination time, the tomb-sweeping day is Halloween, people naturally have inserted liu Dai Liu to ward off bad luck.
