地理老师说：春分，平分了春季，是春天90天的中分点。春分日全球昼夜等长，白天和黑夜平分各为12小时，春分过后北半球各地昼渐长，夜渐短。
语文老师会说：关于春分，古来俗有“风雨送暖季中春，桃柳着妆日焕新，赤道金阳直射面，白天黑夜两均分”的美诗佳句。
那么英语老师问你，春分的英语怎么说呢？
“春分”的英语说法有两种表达：① Vernal Equinox ② Spring Equinox
spring意为春天的；而equinox意为“一年中白昼和黑夜长度相同的日子”，这样的日子一年只有两次，就是春分和秋分啦，而秋分的英文就是The Autumnal Equinox
At the equinox, Earth’s two hemispheres are receiving the sun’s rays equally. Night and day are often said to be equal in length.
在二分日，地球的两个半球均等地接受太阳的光线，白天和黑夜据说是等长的。
Spring Equinox, one of the 24 Solar Terms, is the fourth Important Solar Term in Spring.
春分，二十四节气之一，是春季第四个重要节气。
The Spring Equinox arrives around March 21 every year and on this day, the sun is vertically above a point on the equator.
春分发生在每年3月21日前后，在这天太阳正好直射于赤道。
“The Spring Equinox” indicates two meanings. Firstly, on this day, the night and day are approximately equally long with 12 hours each. Secondly, it’s the mid-point for the spring season.
“春分”代表了2层意思。第一，这一天白天和夜晚时间等长，都只有12个小时。第二，它是春季的中间点。
After this day, the sun continues to move to the north hemisphere and the temperature continues to rise. Daily average temperature in most areas in China reaches 0 degree Celsius above.
从春分以后，太阳继续向北半球移动，气温持续上升。在中国大部分区域，日均气温为0°以上。
一年之际在于春
春分时节，阳光明媚，百花争艳，海棠、梨花、木兰等次第开放。柳青莺飞田间旺，桃红李白迎春黄，天地间迎来花红柳绿、春意盎然、生机勃勃之景象。在这时节，中国民间有放风筝、吃春菜、立蛋等风俗。
