昨天晚上跨年夜你是怎么过的呀?其实英语中并没有和“跨年”一一对应的词,我们口中所说的“跨年”其实就是告别今天的最后一天,迎接新年的第一天,往往都会以参加一些活动的方式来度过,英语中通常会用:“celebrate New Year’s Eve”来表达,而不是“Cross the year”!
In the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Eve (also known as Old Year's Day or Saint Sylvester's Day in many countries), the last day of the year, is on December 31.
在公历中,新年前夜(在许多国家也被称为旧历年或圣西尔维斯特节)是一年中的最后一天,在12月31日。
In many countries, New Year's Eve is celebrated at evening social gatherings, where many people dance, eat, drink, and watch or light fireworks. Some Christians attend a watchnight service. The celebrations generally go on past midnight into New Year's Day, January 1.
在许多国家,人们会举行晚会来庆祝新年前夜,许多人在那里跳舞、吃饭、喝酒、看或放烟花。一些基督徒参加守夜仪式。庆祝活动通常在午夜过后持续到新年的1月1日。
例句:
①People from different parts of the world celebrate New Year’s Eve in different ways.
来自世界各地的人会用不同的方式跨年。
②Where are you going to celebrate New Year’s Eve?
你要去哪里跨年呢?
像这种迎接新年到来的活动中,都有一项重要的内容就是倒计时:countdown
新年倒数计时new year countdown与“跨年”这个概念也是不谋而合
02、顺便说一下,“跨年演唱会”可以翻译为:new year countdown concert,
如果想说“我今天晚上跟朋友一起喝扎啤跨年。”就是:
I'm celebrating the new year countdown by drinking draft beer with my friends.
用现在进行时表示将来发生的动作。
03、“元旦”用英语怎么说?
New Year's Day is the first day of the year. In Western countries this is the 1st of January.
元旦节是新年的第一天。在西方国家,元旦节是一月一日。
“元旦”叫New Year’s Day(注意大写)。“元旦前夜”叫New Year’s Eve。
New Year's Eve is the last day of the year, the day before New Year's Day.
元旦前夜是一年的最后一天,也即元旦的前一天。
ps:eve既可以指前夜,又可以指前一天。
04、“新年决心”用英语怎么说?
“新年决心”这个说法我们中文里原先是没有的,是直接从英语直译过来的,近些年越来越流行。“新年决心”叫New Year's resolution或New Year resolution。
例句:
I made a New Year resolution to give up smoking.
我的新年决心是戒烟。
05、新的一年如何用英语祝福别人?
①Good luck in the year ahead!
祝吉星高照!
②May you come into a good fortune!
恭喜发财!
③ May many fortunes find their way to you!
祝财运亨通!
④Take good care of yourself in the year ahead.
请多保重!
⑤Wishing you many future successes.
