2019再见,2020爱你!“跨年”“元旦”英文这么说

2019年的最后几天,有点小确幸又有点小确丧。

弱弱的问一句, 你们想要以什么样的方式结束2019年?

因为,跨年和元旦就要来了!

每年的跨年都是大型的电影上映,都是我们关注的重头戏!

会玩,会嗨,会浪,那你们知道关于“跨年”“元旦”的那些英文怎么说吗?

1.“跨年”的英文怎么说?

“跨年”这个词在英文里没有直接对应的词,不过可以用 celebrate New Year’s Eve 或者Celebrate the arrival of the New Year来表达,千万不要说成cross the year!

跨年晚会:Countdown Party / New Year’s Eve Party

People from different parts of the world celebrate New Year’s Eve in different ways.

来自世界各地的人会用不同的方式跨年。

“eve”这个单词我们在圣诞夜(Christmas Eve)中也碰到过,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”。除了以上的这个意思,“eve”还可以表示“重大事件即将发生的时刻”,比如:

Those hopes helped lift the Bombay Stock Exchange by over 20% from the election result to the eve of the budget.

从大选结果公布到预算案出台的前夜,这些希望促使孟买的股票交易额上升了20%多。

A:Hey, where are you going to celebrate New Year’s Eve?
嘿,你要去哪里跨年呢?

B:Well, I haven’t decided yet. I stayed home last year, but I want to do something different this year.

嗯,我还没有決定。我去年待在家里,但是今年我想做点不一样的事。

“元旦”的英文怎么说?

New Year’s Day is the first day of the year. In Western countries this is the 1st of January.

元旦节是新年的第一天。在西方国家,元旦节是一月一日。

“元旦”叫New Year’s Day(注意大写)。

“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后一天,也即元旦的前一天。

ps:eve 既可以指前夜,又可以指前一天。

2.跨年活动

如果觉得待在家太无聊,你也可以尝试这些活动:

attend New Year’s Eve celebrations :参加跨年活动

watch the fireworks :看烟花

go to a concert :听演唱会

listen to live music: 听现场音乐

dance the night away :跳舞跳通宵

go to a party :参加派对

travel abroad :国外旅行

have a gourmet buffet dinner :吃一顿精致的自助餐

3.邀请朋友跨年

Why not句型:

A:Since you haven’t decided, why not go out with me?

既然你还没有決定,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.

听起来很棒!我之前还没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,你想一起跨年么?

B:Sure, let’s not stay home like a couch potato this year.

当然,我们今年就別宅在家里当懒虫了吧!

4.婉拒跨年邀约

但如果已经有了规划,需要婉拒时,除了 sorry 以外,还可以这样说:

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,我最近有点太累了。我今年宁可在家里当懒虫就好了。

A:What a shame!

太可惜了!

5.新年祝福语

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.

我们过新年的目的并不是为了迎接新的一年,而是迎接一个全新的自我。

To wish you special joy at the holidays and all year.

祝你在节日和新的一年中享有无限的快乐。

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,新的旭日为我升起,万物生长,生机勃勃,一切都激发着我的激情,一切都让我如此珍惜。

Keep your chin up.

不要气馁!

Hope all your New Year dreams come true!

愿你所有的新年梦想都成真!

好啦,明天就是2019年最后一天了,大家开开心心去跨年,好好迎接2020年吧!

最后,小编提前祝大家元旦快乐啦!
