【元旦節(jié)英語(yǔ)介紹】
介紹:New Year's Day is observed on January 1, the first day of the year on the modern Gregorian calendar as well as the Julian calendar used in ancient Rome. With most countries using the Gregorian calendar as their main calendar, New Year's Day is the closest thing to being the world's only truly global public holiday, often celebrated with fireworks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts. January 1 on the Julian calendar currently corresponds to January 14 on the Gregorian calendar, and it is on that date that followers of some of the Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the New Year. New Year's Day is a postal holiday in the United States.
現(xiàn)在,世界上大多數(shù)國(guó)家把每年1月1日作為元旦,由于世界各國(guó)所處的經(jīng)度位置不同,各國(guó)的時(shí)間也不同,因此,“元旦”的日期也有不同。如大洋洲的島國(guó)湯加位于日界線(xiàn)的西側(cè),它是世界上最先開(kāi)始的一天的地方,也是最先慶祝元旦的國(guó)家。而位于日界線(xiàn)東側(cè)的西薩摩亞則是世界上最遲開(kāi)始新的一天的地方。
阿富汗把春分作為元旦;*人把秋分作為元旦;而寒帶的愛(ài)斯基摩人的元旦是不固定的,他們把第一次下雨作為元旦。公元前46年,羅馬皇帝儒略·凱撒制定儒略歷,開(kāi)始時(shí)他把冬至作為元旦。但是,人們堅(jiān)持要把朔日作為元旦,因此就把元旦延到冬至后10天。
按公歷計(jì),我國(guó)是世界上第12個(gè)開(kāi)始新年的國(guó)家。各個(gè)國(guó)家由于其歷史、文化、宗教信仰、民族習(xí)慣不同,也都有自己不同的慶祝。不過(guò),這也使得這個(gè)世界多姿多彩,更顯地域、民族特色了。
