大家好！這里是廣州八熙翻譯公司！今年的節(jié)氣【大雪】是在前兩天，即12月7日。

那么，按照慣例，我們來記一下大雪的英文說法

大雪： Heavy Snow

根據(jù)古籍《月令七十二候集解》所言：「十一月節(jié)，大者盛也，至此而雪盛也?！?/p>

民間素來有 “瑞雪兆豐年”（"A timely snow promises a good harvest."）的說法。待到白雪覆蓋茫茫大地，越冬的害蟲會被低溫殺死。

The snow in North China may last a whole day, breaking tree branches and blocking the road. The natural scenery is "ice blockading for hundreds miles and snow flying through thousands miles". In the South, the snowflakes swirl around and the world turns white.

大雪的節(jié)氣都會有哪些習俗呢？
