双语丨诗画节气之“谷雨”

“清明断雪，谷雨断霜”

谷雨是春季的最后一个节气

初候萍始生

二候鸣鸠拂其羽

三候戴胜降于桑

孟浩然的《春晓》写于春夏之交

既有“处处闻啼鸟”传达出的对春天的喜爱

也有“花落知多少”流露出的对春天的留恋

春晓

唐 孟浩然

春眠不觉晓，处处闻啼鸟。夜来风雨声，花落知多少。

Spring Morning

Meng Haoran (Tang Dynasty)

This spring morning in bed I’m lying,

Not to awake till birds are crying.

After one night of wind and showers,

How many are the fallen flowers?

《十骏犬睒星狼轴》由清代西洋画家郎世宁所作。郎世宁将欧洲油画中的静物写生等技巧带到了中国，创作了一大批中西结合的艺术作品。画中一只蒙古部落进贡的名犬正机警地回头，身后桃花悄然飘落。

Ten Noble Dogs: Sparkling-Eye Wolf was painted by Giuseppe Castiglione (1688-1766), an Italian painter and commissioner working in China during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Giuseppe Castiglione introduced still life techniques of European oil painting to China and created a number of artistic works combining Chinese and Western art. In this painting, a noble dog from Mongolian tribe is looking around alertly, with peach blossoms falling behind him.
