　　英語故事視頻告訴你，英文中12個月份背后都有怎樣的故事?
　　一月
　　January
　　January is named after the Roman god Janus, who presided over doors and beginnings – appropriately enough, for the beginning of the year (though this is, as you will discover, not as straightforward as it seems). Indeed, Janus was usually depicted with two faces looking backwards and forwards, as is often characteristic of a new year.
　　在羅馬傳說中，有一位名叫雅努斯(Janus)的守護神，負責掌管所有的出入門戶，象征開始。事實上，雅努斯生有兩副面孔，可以同時看前也能看后，一副回顧過去，一副要眺望未來，所以人們認為選擇他的名字作為除舊迎新的第一個月月名，很有意義。英語January，便是由這位守護神的名字演變而來的。
　　二月
　　February
　　February is ultimately based on Latin februarius, from februa. In case that’s not helped things become clearer, februa was the name of a purification feast held on the 15th of this month.
　　February由拉丁文februarius演變而來，源于februa。Februa是本月第15天舉行的一種宗教節(jié)日的名稱。
　　三月
　　March
　　Which god gets a planet and a month named after him? You’ve guessed it: Mars. Why him? As the Oxford English Dictionary notes, ‘In ancient Rome several festivals of Mars took place in March, presumably in preparation for the campaigning season, since Mars was a god of war.
　　這個月份的月名又是由哪位神靈的名字演變而來的?你們可能猜到了:戰(zhàn)神瑪爾斯(Mars)。據(jù)《牛津英語詞典》記載，在古羅馬，3月是每年出征遠戰(zhàn)的季節(jié)，為了紀念戰(zhàn)神，人們便把他的名字作為3月的月名。
　　四月
　　April
　　We know that the English word April comes from the Latin Aprillis, the fourth month of the ancient Roman calendar, but things are less clear after that. In Old English, April was also sometimes called Eastermonab, ‘Easter month’.
　　對于四月的由來較不明確，可能是從拉丁文Aprillis演變來的，是羅馬舊歷法的第四個月。在古英語中，April也被稱為Eastermonab，即Easter month。
　　五月
　　May
　　The month is connected with the goddess Maia. Perhaps less well known now than the other deities with months named after them, Maia (in Greek mythology) was daughter of Atlas and mother of Hermes. She was considered a nurturer and an earth goddess, which may explain the connection with this springtime month. Although may is a common modal verb, the month and the word are unrelated.
　　希臘神話中的女神邁亞(Maia)，是泰坦神阿特拉斯(Atlas) 的女兒，大神赫爾墨斯(Hermes)的母親。專門執(zhí)掌繁殖和生長的女神，在這春意盎然的季節(jié)，用她的名字來命名再合適不過。而單詞may為情態(tài)動詞，和月份名字沒有關聯(lián)。
　　六月
　　June
　　Having conceded one month to a Greek deity, we’re now back with the Romans: June is named after the ancient Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter and goddess of marriage and childbirth.
　　剛才介紹的是一位希臘女神，而六月則是根據(jù)羅馬神話里神后朱諾(Juno)的名字演變而來的，朱諾是神王朱庇特(Jupiter)之妻，司管婚姻和生育的女神。
　　七月
　　July
　　The first month in the calendar named after a real person, July was named in honour of Julius Caesar after his death in 44 BC, July being the month of his birth. Before it was renamed, the month was known as Quintilis (borrowed into English as Quintile), which means ‘fifth’. If you’ve been counting, you’ll know that July isn’t the fifth month: we’ll come on to that when we reach September and October.
　　這是第一個以真人名字命名的月份，羅馬統(tǒng)治者朱里斯·凱撒(Julius Caesar)大帝被刺死后，著名的羅馬將軍馬克·安東尼建議將凱撒大帝誕生的7月，用凱撒的名字——拉丁文Julius命名之。在重新命名之前，7月被稱為Quintilis，在英語里就是Quintile，意為第五。很明顯，七月并不是第五個月份，至于為什么會有這個名稱，我們后面說到九月和十月時會作出解釋。
　　八月
　　August
　　Following suit, in 8 BC, the month Sextilis (‘sixth’) was renamed after Augustus, the first Roman emperor, who had died six years earlier. Augustus himself was given this title when he became emperor, having previously been known as Octavian. It came from the Latin augustus meaning ‘consecrated, venerable’ which gave rise to the English adjective august, ‘respected and impressive’.
　　如今八月的英文名字是根據(jù)古羅馬帝國開國皇帝奧古斯都(Augustus)的名字命名的，在改名前稱為Sextilis，意為“第六”。奧古斯都，原名屋大維(Octavian)，他登基后獲得了“奧古斯都Augustus”的尊號，取自拉丁文augustus，意為神圣、至尊的意思。而形容詞august也相對有了令人敬畏、顯赫的意思。 　　九月
　　September
　　September follows on from Quinitlis and Sextilis, in that it comes from the Latin septem, ‘seven’. As with those (and the rest of the calendar), the numbering is a bit off now: September was originally the seventh month in an ancient Roman ten-month calendar, which started with March.
　　September源自拉丁文septem，就是“七”的意思。原來古羅馬人只把一年分為十個月，March是一月，而September正好就是七月。
　　十月
　　October
　　More of the same: octo is the Latin for ‘eight’, for that ten month calendar. Two months were added to the end of the calendar year around 713 BC, and the beginning of the year was moved to 1 January in 153 BC.
　　和上面說到的九月一樣，英語中的十月，來自拉丁文octo，即“八”的意思，也是根據(jù)老歷法來的。公元前713年，歷法被修改，增加了兩個月放在年尾，而到了公元前153年，才以1月1日作為新一年的開始。
　　十一月
　　November
　　The pattern continues: November comes from novem, ‘nine’.
　　英語中的十一月取自拉丁文novem，即“九”的意思。
　　十二月
　　December
　　And we finish off the year with December, from decem, ‘ten’.
　　英語中的十二月，來自拉丁文的decem，意為“十”。
　　通過以上的內容，我們已經(jīng)了解了英語故事視頻在哪里下載這個問題了，在選擇英語故事視頻的時候，也不要太隨意，要根據(jù)孩子的情況去選擇，具體的可以咨詢聽力課堂。
