公历起源于古罗马历法。罗马的英语原来只有10 个月,古罗马皇帝决定增加两个月放在年尾,后来朱里斯*撒大帝把这两个月移到年初,成为1月.2月,原来的1月.2月便成了3月.4月,依次类推。
这就是今天世界沿用的公历。 January——1月 在罗马传说中,有一位名叫雅努斯的守护神,生有先后两副脸,一副回顾过去,一副要眺望未来。
人们认为选择他的名字作为除旧迎新的第一个月月名,很有意义。英语January,便是由这位守护神的拉丁文名字January演变而来的。
February——2月 每年2 月初,罗马人民都要杀牲饮酒,欢庆菲勃卢姆节。这一天,人们常用一种牛、草制成的名叫Februa的鞭子,抽打不育的妇女,以求怀孕生子。
这一天,人们还要忏悔自己过去一年的罪过,洗刷自己的灵魂,求得神明的饶恕,使自己成为一个贞洁的人。英语2月February,便是由拉丁文Februar-ius(即菲勃卢姆节)演变而来。
March-----3月 3月,原是罗马旧历法的1 月,新年的开始。凯撒大帝改革历法后,原来的1月变成3月,但罗马人仍然把3 月看做是一年的开始。
另外,按照传统习惯,3月是每年出征远战的季节。为了纪念战神玛尔斯,人们便把这位战神的拉丁名字作为3月的月名。
英语3月March,便是由这位战神的名字演变而来的。 April——4月 罗马的4月,正是大地回春.鲜花初绽的美好季节。
英文4月April便由拉丁文April(即开花的日子)演变而来。 May——5月 罗马神话中的女神玛雅,专门司管春天和生命。
为了纪念这位女神,罗马人便用她的名字——拉丁文Maius命名5月,英文5月May便由这位女神的名字演变而来。 June——6月 罗马神话中的裘诺,是众神之王,又是司管生育和保护妇女的神。
古罗马对她十分崇 敬,便把6月奉献给她,以她的名字——拉丁文Junius来命名6 月。英语6月June便由这位女神的名字演变而来。
也有学者认为,Junius可能是个代拉丁家族中一个显赫贵族的姓氏。 July——7月 罗马统治者朱里斯*凯撒大帝被刺死后,著名的罗马将军马克*按东尼建议将凯撒大帝诞生的7月,用凯撒的名字——拉丁文Julius(即朱里斯)命名之。
这一建议得到了元老院的通过。英语7月July由此演变而来。
August——8月 朱里斯*凯撒死后,由他的甥孙屋大维续任罗马皇帝。为了和凯撒齐名,他也想用自己的名字来命名一个月份。
他的生日在9月,但他选定8月。因为他登基后,罗马元老院在8 月授予他Augustus(奥古斯都)的尊号。
于是,他决定用这个尊号来命名8月。原来8月比7月少一天,为了和凯撒平起平坐,他又决定从2月中抽出一天加在8月上。
从此,2月便少了一天。英语8月August便由这位皇帝的拉丁语尊号演变而来。
September——9月 老历法的7月,正是凯撒大帝改革历法后的9月,拉丁文Septem是"7"月的意思。虽然历法改革了,但人们仍袭用旧名称来称呼9月。
英语9月September,便由此演变而来。 October——10月 英语10月,来自拉丁文Octo,即"8"的意思。
它和上面讲的9月一样,历法改了,称呼仍然沿用未变。 November——11月 罗马皇帝奥古斯都和凯撒都有了自己名字命名的月份,罗马市民和元老院要求当时的罗马皇帝梯比里乌斯用其名命名11月。
但梯比里乌斯没有同意,他明智地对大家说,如果罗马每个皇帝都用自己的名字来命名月份,那么出现了第13个皇帝怎么办?于是,11月仍然保留着旧称Novem,即拉丁文"9"的意思。英语11月November便由此演变而来。
December——12月 罗马皇帝琉西乌斯要把一年中最后一个月用他情妇的Amagonius的名字来命名,但遭但元老院的反对。于是,12月仍然沿用旧名Decem,即拉丁文"10"的意思。
英语12月December,便由此演变而来。
4. 谁有关于英语的小知识
Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, which this year (2004) is November 25th. Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.In 1620, the Pilgrims sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts on icy November day. During their first winter, over half of the settlers ①died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring. All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed. Years later, the President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today. The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years. 11月的最后一个星期四是感恩节,今年(2004年)的感恩节是11月25日。
感恩节是美国国定假日中最地道的美国式节日,而且和美国早期历史的联系最为密切。 1620年,一批清教徒乘坐“五月花”号漂洋过海,去寻求一个宗教自由的地方。
他们在海上辗转颠簸了两个月之后,在酷寒的11月登上了陆地,登陆地位于现在的马萨诸塞州普利茅斯市。 在那里的第一个冬天,半数以上的移民都死于饥饿和传染病。
活下来的人开始在第一个春季里播种。整个夏天他们都热切地盼望着丰收的到来,他们深知自己的生存以及殖民地在今后是否能扎根都取决于即将到来的收成。
最终,庄稼获得了意外的大丰收。所以人们决定选一个日子来感谢上帝的恩赐。
数年后,美国总统宣布每年11月的第四个星期四为感恩节。感恩节庆祝活动便定在这一天,这个习俗一直延续到今天。
感恩节的庆祝形式多年来从未改变。丰盛的家宴早在几个月之前就开始着手准备。
人们在餐桌上可以吃到苹果、桔子、栗子、胡桃和葡萄。另外还备有葡萄干布丁、肉馅饼、各种其它食物以及红莓苔汁和鲜果汁。
其中,最棒和最诱人的菜肴当属烤火鸡和南瓜馅饼。数年来,这些菜一直是感恩节中最传统和最受人们喜爱的食品。
Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with bread dressing to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to ②get a consensus on the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird. Thanksgiving today is, ③in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join to express their thanks for the year's bounty and reverently ask for continued blessings. 人们一致认为,感恩节大餐必须以烤火鸡为主菜,而火鸡在烘烤时要以面包作填料以吸收在烘烤过程中流出来的美味汁液。但由于烹饪方法因家庭和地区的不同而各异,所以在究竟用什么做火鸡的填料上就难以求得一致。
今天的感恩节是一个不折不扣的国定假日,具有各种信仰和背景的美国人会在这一天对上苍在今年的恩典表示感谢,虔诚地祈求上帝继续赐福。 Thanksgiving Fare Of all the Thanksgiving symbols the Turkey has become the most well known. The turkey has brown features with buff-colored feathers on the tips of the wing and on the tail. The male turkey is called a Tom and, as with most birds, is bigger and has brighter and more colorful plumage. The female is called a Hen and is generally smaller and drab in color. The turkey was originally domesticated in Mexico, and was brought to Europe early in the 16th century. Since that time, turkeys have been extensively raised because of the excellent quality of their meat and eggs. Some of the common breeds of turkey in the United States are the Bronze, Narragansett, White Holland, and Bourbon Red. Today there is such a large variety of food to choose from that a Thanksgiving Dinner can feature almost any main course. True, the traditional turkey is still the meat of choice, yet goose, duck, ham, even some of the sea's harvests can be used. In sweet potatoes, peas, rice dishes, greens, and even more exotic vegetables all ④make their 。
5. 【英语姓名小常识】
英语姓名的一般结构为:教名+自取名+姓.如 William Jafferson Clinton.但在很多场合中间名往往略去不写,如 George Bush,而且许多人更喜欢用昵称 取代正式教名,如 Bill Clinton.上述教名和中间名又称个人名.现将英语民族 的个人名、昵称和姓氏介绍如下:I.个人名 按照英语民族的习俗,一般在婴儿接受洗礼的时候,由牧师或父母亲朋为其 取名,称为教名.以后本人可以在取用第二个名字,排在教名之后.英语个人名的来源大致有以下几种情况:1.采用圣经、希腊罗马神话、古代名人或文学名著中的人名作为教名.2.采用祖先的籍贯,山川河流,鸟兽鱼虫,花卉树木等的名称作为教名.3.教名的不同异体.4.采用(小名)昵称.5.用构词技术制造新的教名,如倒序,合并.6.将母亲的娘家姓氏作为中间名.英语民族常用的男子名有:James,John,David,Daniel,Michael,常见的 女子名为:Jane,Mary,Elizabeth,Ann,Sarah,Catherine.II.昵称 昵称包括爱称、略称和小名,是英语民族亲朋好友间常来表示亲切的称呼,是在教名的基础上派生出来的.通常有如下情况:1.保留首音节.如 Donald => Don,Timothy => Tim.如果本名以元音开头,则可派生出以'N'打头的昵称,如:Edward => Ned.2.+ie 或 -y 如:Don => Donnie,Tim => Timmy.3.采用尾音节,如:Anthony => Tony,Beuben => Ben.4.由一个教名派生出两个昵称,如:Andrew => Andy & Drew.5.不规则派生法,如:William 的一个昵称是 Bill.III.姓氏 英国人在很长的一段时间里只有名而没有姓.直到16世纪姓氏的使用才广泛 流行开来.英语姓氏的词源主要有:1.直接借用教名,如 Clinton.2.在教名上加上表示血统关系的词缀,如后缀-s,-son,-ing;前缀 M'-,Mc-,Mac-,Fitz- 等均表示某某之子或后代.3.在教名前附加表示身份的词缀,如 St.-,De-,Du=,La-,Le-.4.放映地名,地貌或环境特征的,如 Brook,Hill等.5.放映身份或职业的,如:Carter,Smith.6.放映个人特征的,如:Black,Longfellow.7.借用动植物名的,如 Bird,Rice.8.由双姓合并而来,如 Burne-Jones.英语姓氏虽然出现较教名晚,但数量要多得多.常用的有:Smith,Miller,Johnson,Brown,Jones,Williams.IV.几点说明 1.较早产生的源于圣经,希腊罗马神话的教名通常不借用为姓氏.2.英国人习惯上将教名和中间名全部缩写,如 M.H.Thatcher;美国人则习惯 于只缩写中间名,如 Ronald W.Reagan.3.在姓名之前有时还要有人际称谓,如职务军衔之类.Dr.,Prof.,Pres.可以 用于姓氏前或姓名前;而Sir 仅用于教名或姓名前.这个网站上面还有常用男名、女名的释义。
6. 【关于英语的小常识.1、favourite后接动词原形还是ing?2、please后后
唉 看你问的问题就知道你是个英语初学吧?不怪你 不过回答的人不懂就别乱说 误人子弟首先favourite 那是一个形容词 形容词是修饰别名词的 他是不可能会接动词的 更不存在什么接ing或是原型的说法.Please 你知道他是“请”的意思吧,这个词根本就是为了表现礼貌的 一般放句末或者放句首作祈使句的开头,怎么会问后面加ing还是原形呢?根本后面就不可能加动词 就算加了也跟他么有任何关系你怎么会要加ing 或是要保持原型.你就当他在句中不存在就行了任何情况下都与他无关.for 是个介词 介词后面按理说动词是加Ing的 不过你要具体情况来分析句子成分才知 不是绝对的,介词后面可以加名词,动词,也可以加句子,要具体情况具体分析。
