冬至这天有啥传统习俗？

Winter Solstice is a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers (especially in the southern parts of China and in Chinese communities overseas) is the making and eating of Tangyuan or balls of glutinous rice, which symbolize reunion.

冬至是家族团聚的一天。在这天，中国南方的家庭会包汤圆、吃汤圆，以象征团圆的意思。不过在中国北方，似乎更多的人会吃饺子。比如说会有“冬至到，吃水饺”这样的谚语。

中国人为什么比较重视冬至？其实，但从中国文化方面讲，“冬至”这个日子还可以翻译成“Dongzhi Festival”，中国人为什么都比较重视这个节气呢？

The origins of this festival can be traced back to the yin and yang philosophy of balance and harmony in the cosmos. After this celebration, there will be days with longer daylight hours and therefore an increase in positive energy flowing in.

原来还是和“阴阳”相关啊。人们认为，过了这一天，白昼一天比一天长了，是一个节气循环的开始，“阳”气逐渐回升，因此也算是个吉利的日子啦。

今天就是冬至啦！

笨笨老师代表笨笨口语全体员工祝大家：

Happy Winter Solstice！

冬至快乐！

记得吃饺子哦！

1. 你能帮我把这个扔了吗？
Can you help me throw it? (×)

throw 这个词本身是表示“扔”这个动作，而不是扔掉的意思。比如：

Can you throw me that book? 
你能把那本书扔给我吗？

如果表示扔掉，我们可以说：…throw something away. 比如：

I threw my old iPhone away because I'm getting an iPhone X. 
我把旧手机扔了，因为我要买一个iPhone X.

除了throw away，我们还可以用dump something或者get rid of something来表示“扔掉”。所以表达“你能帮我把这个扔了吗？”我们可以这样说：

Can you dump this for me?

Can you throw this away for me?

Can you get rid of it for me?

2. 等一下，我得系下鞋带。
Hold up, I gotta tie my shoes up. (×)

这个句子当中有两个地方容易出现错误，“等一下”我们常用的表达有：

hold on a second

one second

hang on a second

“hold up”的意思是“举起；支撑；耽搁”。而“系鞋带”可以用 “tie my shoes”或 “tie my shoes laces”。口语中一般用tie my shoes 就可以了。那么tie up 是什么意思呢？

Tie something up 表示把某物捆紧，比如：

Tie up the books so we can sell them altogether. 
把这些书捆起来，我们可以一起卖了。

所以，正确表达“等一下，我得系下鞋带”我们可以这样说： Hold on a sec. I need to tie my shoes.

3. 我暂时没有工作。
I don't have work now. (×)

这句话的意思是我现在没有工作要做，意思就是我现在很闲。如何地道的表达“暂时没工作”？

英语中有一个词组：between jobs. 这是个非常形象的表达，意思是处于两个工作之间的空档期，正在找工作或者有意愿继续工作。

比如： I'm between jobs right now. Still haven't found anything I want to do. 
我现在暂时没有工作。还没有找到自己想做的工作。

所以，正确表达“我暂时没有工作”我们可以说： I’m between jobs at the moment.

4. 你知道还要多久吗？
Do you know how long will it take? (×)

除了用do you know来表示“你知道”，还可以用any idea…?需要注意的是，这两个句子都包含名词性从句，这个从句应该用陈述句的语序。所以正确的表达是：

Any idea how much longer this is gonna take?

Do you know how long this is gonna take?

5. 我得顺便去趟药店。
I have to drop by to go to the drugstore. (×)

这句话哪里不对呢，这就犯了中式英语的错误，drop by后面可以直接跟地名，如：

Drop by a place

Stop by a place

Swing by a place

都可以表示顺便去某某地方。

直接说，drop by the drugstore就可以了。那么这句话我们可以说：

I need to swing by the drugstore.

I've got to drop by the drugstore.

I gotta stop by the pharmacy.
