Hello everyone.Welcome to Campus Radio Service of Xinlian College.I am Nicole.Today,let's talk about Spring equinox.春分。
首先,我们先了解几个专有名词和短语吧。第一个,equinox,意思是“二分时刻”,那么spring equinox就是春分的意思了。第二个,the 24 solar terms“二十四节气”。下一个,the Gregorian calendar“公历”,又称“阳历”,对应的the Lunar calendar,就是“阴历”"。最后一个,hemisphere“半球”,前面加上southern或者northern就表示南、北半球了。
Now, let's get to the point and get to know Spring equinox.
Spring equinox, one of the 24 solar terms, is the fourth solar term in spring. On March 20 or 21 of the Gregorian calendar each year. 春分,二十四节气之一,是春季第四个节气。于每年公历3月20日或3月21日交节。At the vernal equinox, the direct point of the sun is on the equator, and then the direct point of the Sun continues to move north, so the vernal equinox is also known as the "rising equinox". In ancient times, it was also called "mid day", "day and night", "mid Spring Moon". 春分时,太阳直射点在赤道上,此后太阳直射点继续北移,故春分也称“升分”。古时又称为“日中”、“日夜分”、“仲春之月”。
The meaning of the spring equinox, first, refers to the day and night equinox, each for 12 hours; second, the spring equinox is just three months in the spring, equinox in the spring
