涨姿势啦！12个月份的英文来历
童鞋们，你们有木有想过一年为什么有12个月，不是13 个或14个？来来来，给童鞋们
科普下1-12月英语单词的来历。
古罗马原来只有10个月 ，古罗马皇帝决定增加两个月放在年尾。后来凯撒大帝把这两个
月移到年初（也是爱折腾），成为1月和 2月，而原来的1月和2月就成了3月和4月。
以此类推。这就是今天世界沿用的公历。
January
一月
Januarywas named after the goal Janus. Janus was a strange god with two faces
thatcould look in two directions. He could look forward and back at the same time, sohe
was the god of beginnings and endings. January, the first month of the year,is a time at
which one looks forward to the New Year and back to the old year.
来源于古罗马门神杰纳斯Janus。该神生两张脸， 一张回顾过去，一张眺望未来。人们选
择他的名字作为除旧迎新的第一个月月名。
February
二月
The name February comes from a Roman celebration called Februarius and Februa is a
kind of whip used on that occasion to 'punish' those females who are supposed to be in
fertile. Toward the end of February, after the long winter months, people begin to think of
spring cleaning. This probably was the origin of the name of the month.
每年2月初，罗马人民都要杀牲饮酒，欢庆F ebruarius菲勃卢姆节。这一天，人们常用一
种名叫Februa的鞭子抽打不育的妇女，以求 怀孕生子。这一天人们要忏悔自己过去一年
的罪过，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。
March
三月
The third month, March, was named after the Roman god of war, Mars. Mars was a
stronggod, and the Roman people always connected him with thunder and lightning.
Pictures of Mars always show him with lightning above his head.
按照传统习惯，3月是古罗马每年出征远战的 季节。为了纪念战神玛尔斯Mars，人们便把
这位战神的拉丁名字作为3月的月名。据传玛尔斯是一位 强壮的神，罗马人把它与雷鸣电
闪联系在一起，因此玛尔斯的像头部总是被画上闪电。
April
四月
The exactorigin of the word April is not known. The word probably comes from the Latin
word aperire, meaning
The rain aids in the opening of life among trees, grass,and flowers.
罗马的4月，正是大地回春，鲜花初绽的美好季节。英文4月April便是由拉丁 文aperire
（开放，开花）演变而来。
May
五月
May was named after the young and beautiful goddess of the fields, Maia. Maia was the
mother of the god Mercury.
罗马神话中的女神玛雅Maia，专门司管春天和生命。罗马人用她的名字命名5月。
June
六月
Another beautiful goddess, Juno, the wife of Jupiter, give us the name of the month of
June.
