<p class="ql-block">清明节是我国民间重要的传统节日,是祭祖和扫墓的日子,一般是在公历的四月五日,但其节期很长,有十日前八日后及十日前十日后两种说法。古时候,人们由于清明上坟都要到郊外去,在哀悼祖先之余,顺便在明媚的春光里骋足青青原野。因此,清明节也被人们称作踏青节。唐代诗人杜牧的《清明》,是大家耳熟能详的一首诗,生动描述了清明时节的风景和追思。</p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">中英文版的《清明》</b></p> <p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;">The Mourning Day---by Du Mu</p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;">(许渊冲先生译文)</p><p class="ql-block">A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day.</p><p class="ql-block">The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.</p><p class="ql-block">Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?</p><p class="ql-block">A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers.</p><p class="ql-block">【注释】</p><p class="ql-block">*drizzle /ˈdrɪz(ə)l/ vi.下毛毛雨,下蒙蒙细雨</p><p class="ql-block">*mourning /ˈmɔːrnɪŋ/ n.悼念, 哀痛, 哀悼</p><p class="ql-block">*wineshop /ˈwaɪnʃɑːp/ n.酒馆</p><p class="ql-block">*drown /draʊn/ vt.压过,盖过,淹没</p><p class="ql-block">*cowherd /ˈkaʊˌhɜːrd/ n. 牧牛者</p><p class="ql-block">*cot /kɑːt/ n.村舍,小屋</p><p class="ql-block">*amid /əˈmɪd/ prep.在…之中,在…中间</p><p class="ql-block">*apricot /ˈæprɪkɑːt/ n.杏子 </p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">清明---杜牧(唐)</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">清明时节雨纷纷,</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">路上行人欲断魂,</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">借问酒家何处有,</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">牧童遥指杏花村。</span></p> <p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:rgb(128, 128, 128);">Read by Jenny</span></p> <p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:rgb(128, 128, 128);">Read by Sun</span></p>
