今天是二十四节气中的春分（The vernal equinox），古人言春分有三候，“一候元鸟至；二候雷乃发声；三候始电。”古时人们在春分这天还有立鸡蛋、吃春菜等习俗。让我们一起来看一看这些习俗如何用英语表达吧！

1、立鸡蛋

It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future. Some believe that the Spring Equinox is the best time to practice this game because on this day the axis of the earth is relatively balanced against the orbital plane of the earth’s rotation around the sun, which makes it easier to erect an egg.

人们认为，如果有人能将鸡蛋竖立起来，他将会在未来交好运。也有些人认为，春分当日是玩这个游戏的最佳时机，因为在这天，地球的地轴与地球绕太阳公转的轨道平面处于一种相对平衡状态，这使得鸡蛋更容易被立起来。

2、吃春菜

'Spring vegetables' refers to seasonal vegetables that differ from place to place. The ancient teachings in the Chinese classic, Huangdi Neijing, suggest that people eat seasonal foods to help preserve health and bring good luck.

“春季时蔬”指的是季节性的蔬菜，各地之间各不相同。中国医学典籍《黄帝内经》建议人们食用应季的蔬菜，有助于保持健康，带来好运。
