場景：

你的外國朋友第一次來中國，看到日歷上標注著“立夏”“小滿”等奇怪的詞匯，好奇地問：

“What are these strange words on the calendar? Why do you have so many special days?”

“日歷上這些奇怪的詞是什么？為什么你們有這么多特別的日子？”

你的回答：

“China has a unique system called the 24 Solar Terms, which divides the year into 24 periods based on the sun's position in the ecliptic. Each term lasts about 15 days. It's a traditional way to guide agricultural activities and daily life.”

“中國有一種獨特的系統叫做二十四節氣，它根據太陽在黃道上的位置將一年分為24個節氣，每個節氣大約15天。這是一種傳統的方式，用來指導農業活動和日常生活。”

“Take 'Start of Spring' (立春) for example. It usually falls around February 4th. Even though it's still cold, this is the time when farmers start to prepare for the new planting season. It's like a signal that winter is gradually ending and nature is waking up.”

“以‘立春’為例，它通常在2月4日左右。雖然天氣仍然寒冷，但這是農民開始為新種植季節做準備的時候。它就像是一個信號，表明冬天正在逐漸結束，大自然正在蘇醒。”

“Another interesting one is 'Grain Buds' (小滿). It means that the grains are starting to fill out but are not yet fully ripe. It's a time when people look forward to the harvest but also keep working hard to ensure a good yield.”

“還有一個很有趣的節氣是‘小滿’。這意味著谷物開始飽滿但還沒有完全成熟。這是人們期待收獲但同時也在努力工作以確保豐收的時候?！?/p>

It's also a way for us to stay connected with nature and understand the changing seasons. It's like a natural calendar that helps us live in harmony with the environment.”
