春天赏花亲子英文，附16种美国、中国春季常见花中英对照本文正文部分根据西方情况编写，中国春季常见花英文见文章结尾附录2。 桃花不叫peach flower，正确说法是？ 开花用bloom, blossom还是flower？ 枯萎和凋谢，英文有何区别？Admiring the Spring Flowers赏春花Mom: Winter is over and spring is here.妈妈：冬天过去了，春天来了。Would you like to go out and take a walk and see the flowers?你想出去走走，看看花吗？Child: Mommy, I would love to.宝宝：妈妈，我挺想去的。I will put my shoes on right now!我现在就去穿鞋！February - March 2-3月Daffodil 水仙花 Magnolia 木兰Child: What are those yellow ones growing out of the ground over there?宝宝: 那边地上长的小黄的是什么呀？Mom: Those are daffodils!妈妈：那些是水仙花！Daffodil读作 dæfdil。They are the first flowers of spring.它们是春天最先开花的。They have si* petals and the middle looks like a little cup.它们有六片花瓣，中间的看起来像个小杯子。They will last for about a month.它们能开大约一个月。Then the flower will wither.然后花儿就会枯萎。根据现代汉语词典的解释，枯萎：干枯萎缩，凋谢：脱落，我们认为，凋谢对应的英文是fall，枯萎对应wilt和wither。Wilt和wither都有干枯和将要死去的意思，后者所处阶段更接近最终的死亡。Child: Can Iy?宝宝：我能闻闻它们吗，妈妈？Mom: Of course!妈妈：当然可以！Child: They smell really nice!宝宝：它们闻起来好香啊！Mommy, what is that big beautiful pink flower on that tree?妈妈，那棵树上的粉色大花是什么啊？Mom: That is a magnolia.妈妈：那是木兰。Magnolia读作 mægnuli。A magnolia is an icon of early spring.木兰是早春的标志。It has large flowers.它的花朵很大。Normally it has 6 very large petals.它一般有6片大花瓣。They only bloom for a couple of weeks and then fall off the tree.它们只能开几周，然后就从树上落下了。以下四个词都可以做动词表示开花，口语中常用顺序是 blossom。但是，blossom专指果树开花。April 四月Cherry blossom 樱花Child: Mommy, what are those little flowers on that tree?宝宝：妈妈，那棵树上的小花是什么呀？Mom: That is the cherry blossom tree.妈妈：那是樱花树。Cherry blossom比日文译音sakura更常用。樱花树的主要功能是观赏，因此它的英文翻译是cherry blossom tree，樱花树和cherry tree-樱桃树开的花都叫cherry blossom。Its something that is very special in Asia.它是亚洲特有的。They bloom for around 14 days, and then they fall from the tree.它们能开大约14天，然后就从树上落下了。They have 5 petals normally, but some can have ten or twenty.它们一般有5片花瓣，但有的能有10片或者20片。In Japan, they have picnics under cherry blossom trees to celebrate spring.在日本，人们会在樱花树下野餐来庆祝春天的来临。May 五月Tulip 郁金香 Lilac 丁香Mom: Look over there at all those colorful flowers.妈妈：过来看这些五颜六色的花呀。Child: Oh wow, there is yellow, red, and purple!宝宝：哇，有黄色、红色，还有紫色！What arey?它们叫什么呀，妈妈？Mom: They are called tulips, and they symbolize love.妈妈：它们叫郁金香，它们象征着爱。They grow in many colors like red, orange, pink, and yellow.它们有很多种颜色，比如红色、橘黄色、粉色和黄色。They bloom for up to si* weeks before they wither and die.它们最多能开六周，然后就会枯萎和死去。They grow from a bulb and will grow every year.它们从一个花骨朵长起，每年都会生长。Child: And what are those purple ones up there?宝宝：那边那些紫色的是什么呢？Mom: Those are called lilacs.妈妈：那些叫作丁香。Lilac读作 lailk。They grow on bushes not trees.它们长在灌木上，而不是树上。They smell very sweet.它们闻起来甜甜的。Each individual flower is small, but they grow in clusters to produce an abundant display of blooms.每朵花本身很小，但是它们成簇生长，开在一起就十分繁茂了。Their colors include white, pink, and purple.它们有白色的、粉色的，还有紫色的。Child: Mommy, I love spring!宝宝：妈妈，我喜欢春天！Appendi* 附录I.
