2019年的最後幾天,有點小確幸又有點小確喪。
弱弱的問一句, 你們想要以什麽樣的方式結束2019年?
因爲,跨年和元旦就要來了!
每年的跨年都是大型的電影上映,都是我們關注的重頭戲!
會玩,會嗨,會浪,那你們知道關于“跨年”“元旦”的那些英文怎麽說嗎?
1.“跨年”的英文怎麽說?
“跨年”這個詞在英文裏沒有直接對應的詞,不過可以用 celebrate New Year’s Eve 或者Celebrate the arrival of the New Year來表達,千萬不要說成cross the year!
跨年晚會:Countdown Party / New Year’s Eve Party
People from different parts of the world celebrate New Year’s Eve in different ways.
來自世界各地的人會用不同的方式跨年。
“eve”這個單詞我們在聖誕夜(Christmas Eve)中也碰到過,它表示“day or evening before a religious festival or holiday”,也就是“前日,前夕”的意思。
因此12月31日,就是“New Year’s Eve”。除了以上的這個意思,“eve”還可以表示“重大事件即將發生的時刻”,比如:
Those hopes helped lift the Bombay Stock Exchange by over 20% from the election result to the eve of the budget.
從大選結果公布到預算案出台的前夜,這些希望促使孟買的股票交易額上升了20%多。
A:Hey, where are you going to celebrate New Year’s Eve?
嘿,你要去哪裏跨年呢?
B:Well, I haven’t decided yet. I stayed home last year, but I want to do something different this year.
嗯,我還沒有決定。我去年待在家裏,但是今年我想做點不一樣的事。
“元旦”的英文怎麽說?
New Year’s Day is the first day of the year. In Western countries this is the 1st of January.
元旦節是新年的第一天。在西方國家,元旦節是一月一日。
“元旦”叫New Year’s Day(注意大寫)。
“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後一天,也即元旦的前一天。
ps:eve 既可以指前夜,又可以指前一天。
2.跨年活動
如果覺得待在家太無聊,你也可以嘗試這些活動:
attend New Year’s Eve celebrations :參加跨年活動
watch the fireworks :看煙花
go to a concert :聽演唱會
listen to live music: 聽現場音樂
dance the night away :跳舞跳通宵
go to a party :參加派對
travel abroad :國外旅行
have a gourmet buffet dinner :吃一頓精致的自助餐
3.邀請朋友跨年
Why not句型:
A:Since you haven’t decided, why not go out with me?
既然你還沒有決定,要不要和我一起出去跨年呢?
B:That sounds great! I wasn’t sure who to hang out with on that day.
聽起來很棒!我之前還沒找到要一起出去的人!
一般句型:
A:Hey, it’s New Year’s Eve. Do you want to celebrate New Year’s Eve together?
嘿,跨年夜到了,你想一起跨年麽?
B:Sure, let’s not stay home like a couch potato this year.
當然,我們今年就別宅在家裏當懶蟲了吧!
4.婉拒跨年邀約
但如果已經有了規劃,需要婉拒時,除了 sorry 以外,還可以這樣說:
A:Hey, it’s New Years Eve. Do you want to celebrate it together?
嘿,跨年夜到了,你想一起跨年嗎?
B:Too bad, I have been too tired lately. I would rather stay home and be a couch potato this year.
太可惜了,我最近有點太累了。我今年甯可在家裏當懶蟲就好了。
A:What a shame!
太可惜了!
5.新年祝福語
The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.
我們過新年的目的並不是爲了迎接新的一年,而是迎接一個全新的自我。
To wish you special joy at the holidays and all year.
祝你在節日和新的一年中享有無限的快樂。
Today a new sun rises for me, everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.
今天,新的旭日爲我升起,萬物生長,生機勃勃,一切都激發著我的激情,一切都讓我如此珍惜。
Keep your chin up.
不要氣餒!
Hope all your New Year dreams come true!
願你所有的新年夢想都成真!
好啦,明天就是2019年最後一天了,大家開開心心去跨年,好好迎接2020年吧!
最後,小編提前祝大家元旦快樂啦!
