　　翻译

　　古代*的元旦日，并非如今通用的“格列历”——公历的'一月一日。从殷代定农历十二月初一为岁首，到汉代定在农历正月初一为岁首，曾有多次反反复复的改变。到民国时孙中山于1912年1月初在南京就任临时大总统时为“顺农时”、“便统计”，定农历正月初一为春节，改公历1月1日称为岁首“新年”，但仍称“元旦”。直到**后中央人民*颁布统一使用“全国年节和纪念日放假办法”，将公历1月1日规定为元旦节，并决定全国在此节放假一天。同时为区别农历和公历两个新年，又鉴于农历二十四个节气中的“立春”，恰在农历新年前后，因此改农历正月初一称为“春节”。

　　“元旦”的“元”，指开始，是第一的意思，凡数之始称为“元”;“旦”，象形字，上面的“日”代表太阳，下面的“一”代表地*线。“旦”即太阳从地*线上冉冉升起，象征一日的开始。人们把“元”和“旦”两个字结合起来，就引申为新年开始的第一天。元旦又称“三元”，即岁之元、月之元、时之元。元旦一词最早始于三皇五帝，唐房玄龄等人写的《晋书》上载:“颛帝以孟春正月为元，其时正朔元旦之春。”即把正月称为元，初一为旦。南朝梁人兰子云的《介雅》诗也云:“四气新元旦，万寿初今朝。”

　　还有个传说，是在4000多年前远古的尧舜盛世之时，尧天子在位时勤政于民为百姓办了很多好事，很受广大百姓爱戴，但因其子无才不太成器，他没把“天子”的皇位传给自己的儿子，而是传给了品德才能兼备的舜。尧对舜说:“你今后一定要把帝位传交好，待我死后也可安心瞑目了。”后来舜把帝位传给了治洪水有功的禹，禹亦像舜那样亲民爱民为百姓做了很多好事，都十分受人爱戴。后来人们把尧死后，舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天，当作一年的开始之日，把正月初一称为“元旦”，或“元正”，这就是古代的元旦。历代皇朝都在元旦举行庆贺典仪祈祀等活动，如祭诸神祭先祖，写门对挂春联，书写福字、舞龙灯，民间也逐渐形成祭神佛、祭祖先、贴春联、放鞭炮、守岁、吃团圆饭以及众多的“社火”等娱乐欢庆活动。晋代诗人辛兰曾有《元正》诗:“元正启令节，嘉庆肇自兹。咸奏万年觞，小大同悦熙。”记述元旦庆贺情景。

　　在民国以后虽然定1月1日为新年，当时只有机关、学校以及外国经营的洋行大商号等才放假1天，老百姓并不承认，仍延承古时旧*以农历初一为新年，因此老北京的街市上与民间均没有什么欢庆活动。**后将1月1日岁首改称为“元旦”节后，*仍按照几千年来使用的农历历法按农时节令，在立春前后冬闲时期的“春节”放假三天，民间办“庙会”等欢庆，传承百姓的心愿和千百年的民俗。

　　The National Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a country. Often the National Day will be a national holiday.

　　The National Day is often taken as the date on which a state or territory achieved independence. Other dates such as the countrys patron saint day， or a significant historic date are sometimes used. Most countries have a single National Day per year， though a few， for example， India and Pakistan， have more than one. Besides that， each of the two special administrative regions of the Peoples Republic of China， namely Hong Kong and Macao， celebrate the day of the establishment of the special administrative region， as well as the National Day of the Peoples Republic of China.

It is widely celebrated and the French Tricolour is much in evidence， while the President of the Republic attends a military parade on the Champs—lysées of Paris. In the United States， the Fourth of July celebrations are widely celebrated with fireworks and barbecues.

However， in the rest of the United Kingdom the constituent countries patron saints days are low—key affairs.

This commemorates independence from the United Kingdom which was attained on Monday， 6 August 1962 — the first Monday in August of that year. Another example is Thailand which celebrates the birthday of the King on 5 December. This date will change on the accession of the heir to the throne.

　　In the first session of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Commi* of the National Conference for the first time， Xu Guangping said： "Ma Xulun members can not leave， he asked me to run， the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China， should be the National Day， so I hope this will be decided October 1 as National Day.

"October 2， 1949， the Central Peoples Government， through the" National Day of the Peoples Republic of China on the resolution， " Each year to Oct. 1 National Day， and to this day as the Peoples Republic of China announced the establishment of the day. From then on， every year on October 1 on the people of all ethnic groups into a grand celebration of the festival.

圣诞节的由来英语版

圣诞节的由来英语版

　　圣诞节（Christmas）又称耶诞节，译名为“基督弥撒”，西方传统节日，在每年12月25日。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。下面是小编帮大家整理的.圣诞节的由来英语版，供大家参考借鉴，希望可以帮助到有需要的朋友。

　　Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christs birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.

　　The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.

　　Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Years festival that lasted for 12 days.

　　The Persians and the Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea. Part of that celebration included the exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey. The ancient Greeks held a festival similar to that of the Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.

　　The Romans celebrated their god Saturn. Their festival was called Saturnalia which began the middle of December and ended January 1st. With cries of "Jo Saturnalia!" the celebration would include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals, visiting friends, and the exchange of good-luck gifts called Strenae (lucky fruits). The Romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel and green trees lit with candles. Again the masters and slaves would exchange places.

　　"Jo Saturnalia!" was a fun and festive time for the Romans, but the Christians thought it an abomination to honor the pagan god. The early Christians wanted to keep the birthday of their Christ child a solemn and religious holiday, not one of cheer and merriment as was the pagan Saturnalia.

　　Some legends claim that the Christian "Christmas" celebration was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of December. The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans but also the Persians whose religion Mithraism was one of Christianitys main rivals at that time. The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas.

　　The exact day of the Christ childs birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance of Christmas.

　　The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgins name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. While he thought about these things, Gabriel, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take Mary as wife. And Mary will bring forth a Son, and he shall call his name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

　　Before Jesus births, Joseph and Mary came to Quirnius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

　　And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year. But nobody knows the actual birthday of Jesus. And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.

　　The custom of giving gifts to relatives and friends on a special day in winter probably began in ancient Rome and northern Europe. In these regions, people gave each other small presents as part of their year-end celebrations.

　　In the 1800s, two more Christmas customs became popular--decorating Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards to relatives and friends. Many well-known Christmas carols, including Silent Night" and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," were composed during this period. In the United States and other countries, Santa Claus replaced Saint Nicholas as the symbol of gift giving.

　　The word Xmas is sometimes used instead of Christmas. This tradition began in the early Christian church. In Greek, X is the first letter of Christs name. It was frequently used as a holy symbol.

端午节的由来英语版

端午节的由来英语版

　　端午，一开始是为了纪念我国伟大诗人屈原投江，阳光如同天的炉火，燃烧起五月的天地，空气中弥漫着红枣、豆沙、蛋黄和竹叶的清香。哦!一年一度的端午节又来临了。下面，就和放假网小编一起来看一看端午节的由来英语版，希望对大家有帮助!

　　The Dragon Boat Festival is traditionally celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month on the lunar calendar, and is therefore often called 'Double Fifth Festival'. In Chinese, the holiday is called Duan Wu Jie.

　　The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the life and death of the famous Chinese scholar-statesman Qu Yuan, who lived some three centuries before the birth of Christ. Qu Yuan was a loyal minister that served the King of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu Yuan was a highly respected and trusted advisor to the King of Chu. He fought the corruption of other officials of the court.

　　Initially, Qu Yuan was favored by his sovereign, but over time, his wisdom and erudite ways antagonized the other court officials. Eventually, the intrigues of his rivals exerted enough ill influence on the King that Qu Yuan soon found himself in disfavor. The King began to not listen to Qu Yuan's suggestions and advice. Not long after, the King banished Qu Yuan from Chu. While in exile, Qu Yuan composed many poems expressing his sorrows and concerns for his country and people. Amongst his most famous poems is "Encountering Sorrow," a poem describing his search for a good sovereign that would listen to good advice regarding government.

　　In the year 295 B.C., at the age of 37, Qu Yuan drowned himself in the Milo River. He clasped a heavy stone to his chest and leaped into the water. Knowing that Qu Yuan was a righteous man, the people of Chu rushed to the river to try to save him. The people desperately searched the waters in their boats looking for Qu Yuan, but they were unsuccessful in their attempt to rescue him. Every year the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated to commemorate this attempt at rescuing Qu Yuan.

　　When it was known that Qu Yuan had been lost forever, the local people began the tradition of throwing sacrificial cooked rice into the river for their lost hero. However, a local fisherman had a dream that Qu Yuan did not get any of the cooked rice that was thrown into the river in his honor. Instead, it was the fishes in the river that had eaten the rice. So, the following year, the tradition of wrapping the cooked rice in bamboo leaves was begun. The cooked rice wrapped in bamboo leaves later came to be known as zong zi.

　　There is also another version of the story. When it was known that Qu Yuan had been lost to the river, the local fisherman had a dream that the fishes in the river were eating Qu Yuan's body. The local people came up with the idea that if the fishes in the river were not hungry, then they would not eat Qu Yuan's body. So the local people began the tradition of throwing zong zi into the river to feed the fishes in hope that Qu Yuan's body would be spared.

　　龙舟节是在农历的五月五日,在*也叫做端午节.端午节是要纪念西元前三世纪在*伟大的爱国诗人屈原.屈原是战国时代楚国最忠诚的大臣,它是皇帝身边最受到敬重和信任的谏言者,也是最受到皇帝宠爱的大臣.他反对朝廷内部的贪污及腐败,他的正直和智慧得罪了不少王公贵人.最后他们陷害了屈原,使得皇帝在也不听信屈原的谏言.不久之后,屈原被驱逐出楚国境内,在流放的时间内,他写了许多的诗,抒发他的悲愤及爱国忧民之情.其中最有名的一首就是「离骚」,描写他在寻找一位肯听谏言的君王,在他三十七岁那一年,他抱著一颗石头投入汨罗江中自尽,人们知道屈原的正直,就赶到江边去救他,他们搭著船努力地在江中寻找他,但是已经无法发现他的踪影,每年龙舟赛就是为了纪念当初以船救屈原的一种庆祝方式.

　　当大家已经知道无法救到屈原时,当地的居民就把煮熟的米饭投至江中给屈原,但是有一天,屈原托梦给一位渔夫,他说河里的鱼吃掉了那些投入江中的米饭,所以第二年,人们就开始将煮熟的米饭以竹叶包起来,就是今日众所皆知的粽子.

　　关於粽子的由来,还有另外一种说法.当人们在江中找不到屈原的身体时,而当地的渔夫梦到江中的鱼在吃屈原的身体,当地的居民为了不要让屈原的身体被鱼吃掉,於是想到了一个方法,如果江中的鱼不会饿肚子,他们就不会吃屈原的身体了.於是居民就将粽子投入江中餵鱼,希望鱼儿们不要吃屈原的身体.

　　The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals, the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year。

　　The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court。

　　Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons。

　　Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival。

　　端午节，又称为五五节，因为端午节是在农历的五月五日，是三个重要的*节庆之一，其他两个分别是中秋节和农历新年。

　　这个节日的由来是古代*有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

　　由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以*息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念着。

　　Duanwu Festival is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citationneeded] It has since been celebrated,in various ways,in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West,it's monly known as Dragon Boat Festival.

　　The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear,but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan（340 BC—278 BC）of the Warring States Period. He mitted * by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people,knowing him to be a good man,decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qu's body. They also sat on long,narrow paddle boats called dragon boats,and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boat's prow.

　　In the early years of the Chinese Republic,Duan Wu was also celebrated as Poets' Day,due to Qu Yuan's status as China's first poet of personal renown.

　　Today,people eat bamboo—wrapped steamed glutinousrice dumplings called zongzi（the food originally intended to feed the fish）and race dragon boats in memory of Qu's dramatic death.

　　The dragon boat festival is a lunar holiday, occurring on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

　　The chinese dragon boat festival is a significant holiday celebrated in china, and the one with the longest history. the dragon boat festival is celebrated by boat races in the shape of dragons. competing teams row their boats forward to a drumbeat racing to reach the finish end first.

　　The boat races during the dragon boat festival are traditional customs to attempts to rescue the patriotic poet chu yuan. chu yuan drowned on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 b.c. chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves filled with cooked rice into the water. therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. this later on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings. the celebration's is a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of the year. it is done so by different practices such ashanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions, and displaying portraits of evil's nemesis, chung kuei. if one manages to stand an egg on it's end at exactly 12：00 noon, the following year will be a lucky one.

　　notesignificant：重要的drumbeat：鼓声，打鼓patriotic：爱国的concoction：调和物nemesis：报应风俗*惯

　　Dragon boat race traditions at the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. these exciting races were inspired by the villager's valiant attempts to rescue chu yuan from the mi lo river. this tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.

　　Tzung tzu a very popular dish during the dragon boat festival is tzung tzu. this tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. the tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scatterin

　　Grice across the water of the mi low river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour chu yuan.

　　Ay taso the time of year of the dragon boat festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of chu yuan. many chinese consider this time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect their family from illness. families will hang various herbs, called ay tsao, on their door for protection. the drinking of realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body. hsiang bao are also worn. these sachets contain various fragrant medicinal herbs thought to protect the wearer from illness.

　　风俗*惯端午节最重要的活动是龙舟竞赛，比赛的队伍在热烈的鼓声中划著他们多彩的龙舟前进。这项活动的灵感是来自於当时汨罗江畔的居民，在江中划船救屈原，而这个传统也一直保持了数个世纪。在端午节时受欢迎的食物就是粽子，粽子是以米包著肉、花生、蛋黄及其他材料，再以竹叶包裹。而粽子的传统则来由於汨罗江边的渔夫，将米丢入江中*息江中的蛟龙，希望他们不要将屈原吃掉。农历的五月，也就是端午节的这个时节，对*人而言，除了屈原的'故事还有许多其他重要的意义。许多*人相信五月是一年中容易引发疾病的危险时节，因此必须有许多防备家人生病的措施。许多家庭会将一种特别的植物-艾草挂在门口，

　　作为保护之用，而人们也会挂带香包，它是以含有多种香味的药用植物所做成，也可以保护人们远离疾病。

　　The Dragon Boat Festival， also called the Duanwu Festival， is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan， an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed * by drowning himself in a river.

　　The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period， these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

　　Besides， the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice)。 Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

　　With the changes of the times， the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past， it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.

　　端午节，又称端阳节，是庆祝第五个月的第五天的农历。这个节日是为了纪念屈原之死，一位正直的诗人和政治家，是说已投江自杀了。

　　本节最重要的活动是龙舟比赛。它象征着人们试图营救屈原。在当前时期，这些比赛也证明了团队合作的优点。

　　此外，本节还着在这天吃粽子（糯米饭）。粽子是由糯米饭塞满不同的馅料包在竹叶或芦苇叶。人们哀悼屈原将粽子扔到河里喂他的鬼魂每年。

　　随着时代的变迁，纪念变成了邪恶和疾病的保护对今年剩下的时间。人们会健康草药在前门摆脱房子的坏运气。虽然这个节日的意义可能与过去不同，但仍然给观察者一个机会，看到了丰富的*文化遗产的一部分。

　　每年二月初，罗马人都要杀牲饮酒，欢庆菲勃卢姆节。这一天，人们常用一种牛草制成的名叫Februa的鞭子，抽打不育的妇女，以求怀孕生子。这一天，人们还要忏悔自己过去一年的罪行，洗刷自己的灵魂，求得神明的饶恕，使自己成为一个贞洁的人。英语二月February，便是由拉丁文February（即菲勃卢姆节）演变而来。

　　March——三月

　　三月，原是罗马旧历法的一月，新年的开始。凯撒大帝改革历法后，原来的一月变成三月，但罗马人仍然把三月看作是一年的开始。另外，按照传统*惯，三月是每年出征远战的季节。为了纪念战神玛尔斯，人们便把这位战神的拉丁文名字Marrius作为三月的月名。英语三月March，便是由这位战神的名字演变而来的。

　　April——四月

　　——罗马的四月，正是大地回春，鲜花初绽的美好季节。英文四月April便由拉丁文Aprilis（即开花的日子）演变而来。

　　May——五月

　　——罗马神话中的女神玛雅，专门司管春天和生命。为了纪念这位女神，罗马人便用她的名字——拉丁文Maius命名五月，英文五月May便由这位女神的名字演变而来。

　　June——六月

　　罗马神话中的裘诺，是众神之王，又是司管生育和保护妇女的神。古罗马人对她十分崇敬，便把六月奉献给她，以她的名字——拉丁文Junius来命名六月。英语六月June便由这位女神的名字演变而来。也有学者认为，Junius可能是古代拉丁家族中的一个显赫贵族的姓氏。

　　July——七月

　　罗马统治者朱里斯·凯撒大帝被刺身死后，著名的罗马将军马克?安东尼建议将凯撒大帝诞生的七月，用凯撒的名字——拉丁文Julius（即朱里斯）命名之。这一建议得到了元老院的通过。英语七月July由此演变而来。

　　August——八月

　　朱里斯.凯撒死后，由他的甥孙屋大维续任罗马皇帝。为了和凯撒齐名，他也想用自己的名字来命名一个月份。他的生日在九月，但他选定八月。因为他登基后，罗马元老院在八月授予他Augustus（奥古斯都）的尊号。于是，他决定用这个尊号来命名八月。原来八月比七月少一天，为了和凯撒*起*坐，他又决定从二月中抽出一天加在八月上。从此，二月便少了一天。英语八月August便由这位皇帝的拉丁语尊号演变而来。

　　September——九月

　　老历法的七月，正是凯撒大帝改革历法后的九月，拉丁文Septem是“七”的意思。虽然历法改革了，但人们仍袭用旧名称来称呼九月。英语九月September，便由此演变而来.

　　October——十月

　　英语十月，来自拉丁文Octo，即“八”的意思。它和上面讲的九月一样，历法改了，称呼仍然沿用未变。

　　November——十一月

　　罗马皇帝奥古斯都和凯撒都有了自己名字命名的月份，罗马市民和元老院要求当时的.罗马皇帝梯比里乌斯用其名命名十一月。但梯比里乌斯没有同意，他明智地对大家说，如果罗马每个皇帝都用自己的名字来命名月份，那么出现了第十三个皇帝怎么办？于是，十一月仍然保留着旧称Novem，即拉丁文“九”的意思。英语十一月November，便函由此演变而来。

　　December——十二月

　　罗马皇帝流西乌斯要把一年中最后一个月用他情妇Amagonius的名字来命名，但遭到元老院的反对。于是，十二月仍然沿用旧名Decem，即拉丁文“十”的意思。英语十二月December，便由此演变而来。

　　一月January：源于罗马神话中一位叫Janus的两面神，他的脑袋前后各长有一副面孔，古罗马钱币上也常刻有其形象。Janus是天宫的守门人，每天早晨把天宫的门打开，让阳光照耀大地；晚上把门关上，让夜幕降临。古罗马人在每年的第一天和每天清晨都要向他祈祷，以求事事顺利。难怪罗马人将他的名字作为一月。

　　二月February：源于罗马的一种大扫除的庆典活动，名为"Februal"。或许是因为到了这个时候，漫长的冬季已过，人们开始打扫庭院，迎接春天的到来。

　　三月March：是根据罗马神话中战神的名字命名的。这个战神叫Mars，很有力量。三月时有雷雨天气，罗马人总把Mars和雷电联系在一起。

　　四月April：罗马的四月，正是大地回春。鲜花初绽的美好季节。英文四月April便由拉丁文April(即开花的日子)演变而来。

　　五月May：由女神Maia名字而来。Maia年轻貌美，被称为"田野之神"。

　　六月June：是由众神之王宙斯的妻子Juno的名字命名的。

　　七月July：来自古罗马开国大帝凯撒（Julius Caesar)的名字。因他七月出生，故将七月以他的名字命名。

　　八月August：则是由凯撒大帝的继承人奥古斯都大帝（Auguetus）的名字命名的。Auguetus不能容忍凯撒的七月比他的八月多一天，就把二月的一天移到八月，这样八月也有31天，而二月只剩28天或29天了。

　　并非每个月份都有这样的故事。四月的另一种说法是来自于拉丁语Avril意为"之后"、"第二"，因在凯撒之前的古罗马历法中，每年的第一个月份是三月。九月September、十月October、十一月November和十二月December也分别来自于拉丁语Sptem、Octo、Novem和Decem，分别意为"seven、eight、nine、ten"。这样，自然就明白这４个月份的来历了
