The vernal equinox happens every year, yet most people don't know what it is or why it's important. 每年都會有春分，但是絕大多數人都不了解春分或者不清楚為什么春分具有重要的意義。 vernal equinox：春分 When is the first day of spring? 春天的第一天是什么時候？ Bring
on March 20, 2023! You may have heard that the spring equinox is the
official first day of spring, and it’s true that this auspicious event
traditionally marked the start of spring for many different cultures as
well as the start of the new year on ancient Indian and Persian
calendars. Even today, the spring (or “vernal”) equinox, is often used
to indicate the first day of spring. What it really signifies, though,
is the astronomical start of spring as opposed to the meteorological
one. Meteorological seasons are grouped by months and are based on
weather and temperature shifts. Meteorologists and climatologists agree
that the first real day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere should be
March 1. 2023年春天的第一天是3月20日！你也許曾經聽說過，春分代表春天正式開始。在許多不同的文化里，春分是一個吉祥的日子，它通常預示著春天的到來。在古代印度和波斯的日歷中，春分也意味著新一年的開始。即使是在今天，春分也經常被用來表示春天的開始。那么，春分真正的意思是天文學意義上的春天的開始，這和氣象學意義上的春天有區別。氣象學意義上的四季按照月份來劃分并取決于天氣和氣溫的變化。氣象學家和氣候學家都認為北半球真正意義上的春天的第一天應該是3月1日。 What is the spring equinox? 什么是春分？ An
equinox is a moment in time and space when the sun is positioned
directly above the Earth’s equator, which happens just twice a year on
the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. In March (usually the 20th or 21st),
the sun crosses the equator from south to north, bringing warmth and
light back to the Northern Hemisphere and plunging the Southern
Hemisphere into its fall and winter darkness. In September (around the
22nd or 23rd), the sun crosses back from south to north, heralding the
start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere, and the start of spring in the
Southern one. 晝夜平分點（春/秋分）是指太陽完全位于地球赤道正上方的時刻。晝夜平分點每年會出現兩次，即春分和秋分。在3月（通常是20或21日），太陽由南至北穿過赤道，為北半球帶來溫暖和光照，同時也使南半球的光照變短并進入秋冬季。在9月（大約22日或23日），太陽從南到北穿回，預示著北半球秋天的開始，同時也預示著南半球春天的到來。 The word “equinox” has an interesting meaning equinox這個詞有一個有趣的含義 The
word “equinox” comes from the Latin for “equal” and “night.” As the sun
crosses the equator (Earth’s midline), the hours of daylight and
nighttime are very nearly equal. The equinoxes are the only times when
the sun rises directly due East and sets directly due West for everyone
on Earth. Equinox來自于拉丁語，表示“相等”和“夜晚”的意思。當太陽穿過赤道（地球中線），白天和夜晚的時長幾乎完全相等。而equinox就是指太陽從正東方升起并從正西方落下的時刻。 There’s an equinox celebration involving an ancient serpent god 春分的慶祝活動-古代蛇神 In Mexico, in the ruins of the Mayan city Chichén Itzá, crowds gather
at the ancient El Castillo pyramid every spring and fall equinox to
witness an equinox celebration that dates back to the construction of
the pyramid around 1,000 A.D. The Maya were skilled astronomers, and the
pyramid is dedicated to the feathered serpent god, Quetzalcoatl. At
sunset on the equinoxes, the angle of the sun creates shadows that look
like a giant snake. The light-and-shadow snake appears to slither down
the pyramid steps until it merges with the huge sculpted serpent’s head
at the bottom. 在墨西哥瑪雅城的古老遺址奇琴伊察，人們會在每年的春分和秋分時聚集在古老的卡斯蒂略金字塔來慶祝這一時刻。這一古老的慶祝活動可以追溯至公元1000年前后金字塔的建造時期。瑪雅人是技能嫻熟的天文學家，而金字塔則是供奉給羽蛇神Quetzacoatl的。在春/秋分這一天的日落時分，太陽光照的角度會形成一個影子，這個影子看上去像一條巨大的蛇。光影交織的蛇似乎在金字塔臺階上緩緩爬行直到其與底部巨大的蛇頭雕塑融為一體。 slither ：滑行；蛇行；爬行 注：Chichén Itzá（奇琴伊察）：意即“在伊察的水井口”，是一處龐大的前哥倫布時期的考古遺址。 注：羽蛇神（Feathered Serpent）是在中部美洲文明中普遍信奉的神祇，形象通常被描繪為一條長滿羽毛的蛇。按照傳說，羽蛇主宰著晨星、發明書籍、歷法，而且給人類帶來玉米。羽蛇神還代表著死亡和重生，是祭司的守護神。 來源：讀者文摘 編輯：譯銳君 注：上海譯銳翻譯是一家專業的翻譯公司，我們致力于通過語言服務助力客戶。
