翻譯成英文：

"今年閏九月前,已出嫁的女兒要幫娘家父母祁福延壽,這是中國人的一項習俗"

It is customary among chinese for married women to pray for longevity and fortunes for her biological parents before the leap September this year.

麻煩請幫忙翻譯成英文好嗎??

當然好,可是 妳的中語 實在寫得很不邏輯耶!

1."今年" - 要是只有"今年"的話,就不應該是一個習俗.因為"習俗"不會規定 在2014年9月前一定要做甚麼事的.

2."潤9月" - 要是一定要潤9月 那也太稀少了吧?

3."已出嫁的女兒"-還好我還沒嫁,還可以賴他們一陣子吧?

所以我想你的原句應該是:

在閏月之前 女子為生父母 特別祈福延壽 是台灣人的一個習俗

因為不知如何向外籍友人解釋"閏月"這詞...><"

閏月 英語應該是 leap month. 潤9月 應該是 leap September.若是老外還聽不懂的話,就說:

Leap month is an intercalation mechanism of lunar calendars. In 2014, September (the 9th month of the year) is repeated to synchronize with the solar calendar.

感謝喲!!

Thanks!!

Leap 9 is not so rare at all. Lunar calendar needs to leap every 6 years. That means every month should a chance to leap every 72 years, give or take.

Answer 2

Leap month is an intercalation mechanism of lunar calendars. In 2014, September (the 9th month of the year) is repeated to synchronize with the solar calendar.

Answer 3

leap year=every fourth year in which February has 29 days instead of 28 days; A leap "September" in lunar calendar means the same.

The Translation from C/E:-

Before the leap in" Sept" this year, the married daughter must help her ancestor parents worship for feelings of love,respect,and blessing of good fortune and long life.

This is a Chinese tradition customs.

Answer 4

網路上找到關於閏九月的說法一個範例:

It’s rare to experience a “leap” September in the lunar calendar during one’s lifetime. In this century, the only leap September happens in this Year of the Horse. The next one will be in 2109.
