Day479-秋天的第一个节气

你知道秋天的第一个节气是什么吗？The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. White Dew, (Chinese: 白露), the 15th solar term of the year, begins this year on Sept 8 and ends on Sept 22. White Dew indicates the real beginning of cool autumn. The temperature declines gradually and the vapors in the air often condense into white dew on the grass and trees at night.中国传统阴历将一年分为24个节气。白露，一年中的第十五个节气，从9月8日开始到9月22日结束。白露标志着秋天的凉意已经来临，温度渐渐下降，晚上，空气中的水蒸气总是会在树叶上和草地上凝结成白色的露珠。Language Focus 语言焦点1.solar term /'səʊlə/ 节气Eg：solar energy 太阳能Eg：White Dew is the first solar term in autumn.白露是秋天的第一个节气。2.White Dew /'djuː/ 白露3.indicate /'ɪndɪkeɪt/ 表明，显示Eg：The clouds indicate the coming of rain. 云彩预示着即将下雨了。4.decline /dɪ'klaɪn/ 下降/谢绝Eg：decline one’s invitation  谢绝某人的邀请Eg：It is reported that the temperature will decline sharply in one or two days. 据报告近日气温将明显下降。5.vapor /ˈveɪpə/ 蒸气Eg：water vapor 水蒸气6.condense /kən'dens/ 冷凝Eg：Water vapor condenses to form clouds. 水蒸汽冷凝形成云。
