當然除夕那天必定是少不了貼春聯,那么你知道貼春聯英語是什么?
春聯的英語說法:
春聯的英語是Spring Festival couplets; New Year scrolls;也有直接叫Chinese Couplets,Spring Couplets,Chinese New Year Couplets等等。選擇自己喜歡的記憶即可,關于春聯的知識你知多少,不妨來測測吧。① 貼春聯:Paste spring festival couplets(其他的貼“福”字,窗花等等,都可以用paste表達哦。)② 上聯/下聯:first line/second line當然,也可以稱作upper scroll/lower scroll(scroll表示卷筒,春聯沒有展開之前就是卷成紙卷的呀。)通常上下聯都比較押韻(They are rhyming。)③ 橫批:春聯頂上的4個字(four characters)我們英語叫horizontal scroll,horizontal表示水平的哦,那跟他相對的垂直的我們可以說vertical喲。所以豎聯(上聯下聯)可以統稱為vertical scroll啦。)對于上下聯要有對稱結構(parallel structures),而橫批是兩個豎聯意思的總結與點睛之筆,通常是四字組合啦。(The horizontal scroll sums up the two lines ‘meaning, and it is usually a four-character phrase.)通常來講,春聯最好是年29(the 29th of lunar December,注意我們的陰歷就是用lunar表示,比如說大年初一可以說the 1st of lunar January)那天張貼,時間選擇下午一點到三點哦。Paper scrolls are normally put on both sides of the doorway.There are certain strict rules to mirror the words, like if there is a character on the left-hand side that says, sky,for example.詞的對仗有很嚴格的規定,如果左聯上有一字,比如“天”。there should be won on the right-hand side saying ground, and if there is rain, is wind,if there is red,there is green.右聯就必須有個“地”,“雨”對“風”,“紅”對“綠”。So it is kind of a thing that brings good blessing and good wishes for the New Year.
