二月二,龙抬头,
风雨顺,又丰收。
大仓满,小囤流,
好年景,春开头。
“龙抬头”其实是个节日,因此“龙抬头”可以说成“Longtaitou Festival”。
比如,维基百科就对“龙抬头”有着这样的解释:
The Longtaitou Festival is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month of the Chinese calendar. Its name means "Dragon raising its head" because the dragon was regarded as the deity in charge of rain, an important factor in ancient agriculture. The festival is sometimes simply called "2 Month 2" for short.
龙抬头,是中国的传统节日,在中国农历的第二个月的第二天。它的名字意为龙抬起它的头,因为龙被视为掌管雨的神而在古代农业生活中有重要的作用。这个节日有时简单地称为二月二。
又因为“龙抬头”是在二月初二,所以,“龙抬头”还可以说Eryueer Festival
如果这么解释,老外听不懂的话,还可以这样解释:Dragon Head-Raising Day或Spring Dragon Festival.
例句:
There is a widely known idiomatic phrase which goes, "On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the dragon raises his head."
有一句广为人知的成语:“农历二月初二,龙抬头”。
