復(fù)活節(jié)由來(lái)英文介紹

【篇一：復(fù)活節(jié)中英對(duì)照資料】

中文背景【了解】

4月6日開(kāi)始，加拿大人將放三天或四天長(zhǎng)假，原因是這個(gè)星期五

是good friday（耶穌受難日），緊接而來(lái)的是easter sunday（復(fù)

活節(jié)） 和easter monday（復(fù)活節(jié)星期一），而easter monday

不是法定假期，大部分公司仍舊上班，學(xué)校會(huì)放假。

星期五：good friday

good friday，又稱基督受難日或耶穌受難節(jié)，是為了紀(jì)念耶穌基督

被釘在十字架上受難的日子，是復(fù)活節(jié)前一個(gè)星期五。據(jù)圣經(jīng)記載，

耶穌于猶太歷尼散月十四日上午九時(shí)左右被釘在十字架上，于下午

三時(shí)左右死去。耶穌唯獨(dú)吩咐門徒要紀(jì)念他的死亡。教會(huì)會(huì)在這日

舉行受難日崇拜及拜苦路禮儀，讓信徒默想基督為世人所付出的愛(ài)。

星期六：復(fù)活節(jié)前日 easter saturday【這個(gè)我們不需要講= =b】

復(fù)活節(jié)前日即復(fù)活節(jié)前的星期六。在基督徒心中，是等待耶穌基督

自死中復(fù)活的日子。當(dāng)日羅馬天主教會(huì)不舉行彌撒，直到晚上才慶

祝基督戰(zhàn)勝罪惡和死亡，為人類帶來(lái)救恩和希望。

星期日：復(fù)活節(jié) easter day

復(fù)活節(jié)原本是古代異教的“春節(jié)”，是慶祝春回大地一切恢復(fù)生機(jī)的

節(jié)日。復(fù)活節(jié)可追溯到古巴比倫的愛(ài)情、生育和戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)女神“伊什塔爾”

（ishtar）。后來(lái)，此女神變成了西歐的黎明和春天女神eastre。復(fù)

活節(jié)會(huì)在每年春分月圓之后第一個(gè)星期日舉行，因?yàn)榇悍种蟊汩_(kāi)

始日長(zhǎng)夜短——光明大過(guò)黑暗，月圓的時(shí)候，不但在日間充滿光明，

就連漆黑的夜晚也被光輝（月光）照耀。因此，這正好是耶穌復(fù)活

——光明戰(zhàn)勝黑暗的寫照。

羅馬帝國(guó)君士坦丁大帝在公元325年召開(kāi)第一次尼西亞公會(huì)議，規(guī)

定復(fù)活節(jié)是星期日，因星期日被教會(huì)視作為安息日，即耶穌死而復(fù)

活的日子，所以復(fù)活節(jié)就在每年春分月圓后第一個(gè)星期日舉行。如

果月圓那天剛好是星期天，復(fù)活節(jié)則推遲一星期。因而復(fù)活節(jié)可能

在3月22日至4月25日之間的任何一天。比如說(shuō)2006年月圓那

天是4月13日（星期四），所以月圓后的第一個(gè)星期日4月16日

就是復(fù)活節(jié)。2008年月圓日是3月20日，所以3月22日就是復(fù)活

節(jié)。

不過(guò)自古以來(lái)，計(jì)算復(fù)活節(jié)的方法十分復(fù)雜，拉丁文computus

（計(jì)算）一字更專指計(jì)算復(fù)活節(jié)的方法，而羅馬教會(huì)及東正教會(huì)的

計(jì)算亦略有差異，所以東西方復(fù)活節(jié)可在不同日子出現(xiàn)。1997年，

國(guó)際普世教會(huì)協(xié)會(huì)在敘利亞召開(kāi)會(huì)議時(shí)，曾建議改革計(jì)算復(fù)活節(jié)的

方式，并建議統(tǒng)一東西教會(huì)的復(fù)活節(jié)，但至今絕大部分國(guó)家仍沒(méi)有

跟隨。

星期一：復(fù)活節(jié)星期一 easter monday

復(fù)活節(jié)星期一是基督徒們繼續(xù)慶祝耶穌復(fù)活的日子，也是加拿大法

定的休息日。各教堂在這一天將舉辦復(fù)活節(jié)儀式，基督徒們會(huì)往從

教堂里取回的復(fù)活節(jié)圣水里加入香精油或是香水，然后噴在家里的

家具、食物、寵物、花園等各處。同時(shí)，這一天也是家庭的節(jié)日，

全家會(huì)聚在一起吃飯。復(fù)活節(jié)游戲、復(fù)活節(jié)蛋、復(fù)活節(jié)免子等也是

這一天的中心。

在北美，與復(fù)活節(jié)相關(guān)的物品有復(fù)活節(jié)兔子和復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋。

古人常把蛋視為多子多孫和復(fù)活的象征。后來(lái)基督教徒又賦予蛋新

的涵義，認(rèn)為它是耶穌墓的象征，未來(lái)的生命就是從其中掙脫而出

世的。復(fù)活節(jié)時(shí)人們把雞蛋染成紅色，代表耶穌受難時(shí)流出的鮮血，

同時(shí)也象征復(fù)活后的快樂(lè)。還有一種古老的習(xí)俗，是把煮熟的雞蛋

送給街頭的孩子們做游戲，他們把蛋往前滾，誰(shuí)的蛋最后破，誰(shuí)就

獲得勝利，蛋全歸他所有。還有些人喜歡在蛋上畫各種各樣的鬼臉

或花紋。

兔子也是復(fù)活節(jié)的象征。因?yàn)橥米臃敝沉軓?qiáng)，所以人們把它視為

新生命的表現(xiàn)者。大人常繪聲繪色地告訴孩子復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋是兔子下

的（但事實(shí)上，兔子其實(shí)是不下蛋的，所以復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋其實(shí)都是雞

蛋），并把彩蛋放在花園里，讓孩子們玩找蛋游戲。

現(xiàn)在每逢復(fù)活節(jié)，加拿大的各大商場(chǎng)或是糖果店總要出售用巧克力

制成的復(fù)活節(jié)小兔和彩蛋。這些彩蛋小的和雞蛋差不多，大的竟有

甜瓜那么大，孩子們自然喜歡，送給親戚朋友，也不失為上佳禮品。

復(fù)活節(jié)兔是復(fù)活節(jié)象征之一。作為多產(chǎn)動(dòng)物的兔子，象征了春天的

復(fù)蘇和新生命的誕生。兔子是愛(ài)神阿弗洛狄特的寵物，也是日耳曼

土地女神霍爾塔的持燭引路者。因此，現(xiàn)在兔子是作為給孩子們送

復(fù)活節(jié)蛋的使者。

【篇二：復(fù)活節(jié)中英文介紹no.1】

復(fù)活節(jié)

as with almost all christian holidays, easter has been

cularized and

commercialized. the dichotomous nature of easter and its

symbols, however, is not necessarily a modern fabrication.

和其它基督教節(jié)日一樣，復(fù)活節(jié)正慢慢“被世俗”和“被商業(yè)”。即便

如此，復(fù)活節(jié)的這兩個(gè)性質(zhì)和它的標(biāo)志并不是必然的“現(xiàn)代產(chǎn)物”。

the history of easter 復(fù)活節(jié)的歷史

since its conception as a holy celebration in the cond

century, easter has had its non-religious side. in fact, easter

was originally a pagan festival.

“復(fù)活節(jié)是神圣的慶典”的概念在公元200年已經(jīng)形成，自那時(shí)起，

復(fù)活節(jié)就站在了非宗教的一方。而事實(shí)上，最初的復(fù)活節(jié)是異教徒

的節(jié)日。

the ancient saxons celebrated the return of spring with an

uproarious festival commemorating their goddess of offspring

and of springtime, eastre. when the cond-century christian

missionaries encountered the tribes of the north with their

pagan celebrations, they attempted to convert them to

christianity. they did so, however, in a clandestine manner.

古撒克遜人慶祝春至?xí)r非常熱鬧，因?yàn)檫@也紀(jì)念他們祖先和春天的

“復(fù)活”。在公元200年，基督教的傳教士并偶然來(lái)到這個(gè)擁有異教

慶典的北方部落。這些傳教士嘗試讓撒克遜人改信基督教，而他們

使用的方法非常隱秘。

it would have been suicide for the very early christian

converts to celebrate their holy days with obrvances that did

not coincide with celebrations that already existed. to save

lives, the missionaries cleverly decided to spread their

religious message slowly throughout the populations by

allowing them to continue to celebrate pagan feasts, but to do

so in a christian manner.

早期的基督教人為了慶祝他們神圣的節(jié)日而在儀式中自殺，然而這

些儀式并沒(méi)有與以前的慶祝儀式相類似。為了拯救生命，傳教士略

施小計(jì)，在人群中慢慢散布神明的信息，謊稱神明允許人們繼續(xù)慶

祝異教節(jié)日，但是要使用基督教的方式進(jìn)行慶祝。

as it happened, the pagan festival of eastre occurred at the

same time of year as the christian obrvance of the

resurrection of christ. it made n, therefore, to alter the

festival itlf, to make it a christian celebration as converts

were slowly won over. the early name, eastre, was eventually

changed to its modern spelling, easter.

就這樣，復(fù)活節(jié)在同年出現(xiàn)了，而且被當(dāng)作耶穌復(fù)活的基督教儀式。

因此，這個(gè)節(jié)日就慢慢被改變，漸漸轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榛浇痰囊粋€(gè)節(jié)日。于

是，人們漸漸皈依基督教。而復(fù)活節(jié)早期的名字eastre，最后也被

改成流傳至今的拼法easter。

the date of easter 復(fù)活節(jié)的日期

prior to a.d. 325, easter was variously celebrated on different

days of the week, including friday, saturday, and sunday. in

that year, the council of nicaea was convened by emperor

constantine. it issued the easter rule which states that easter

shall be celebrated on the first sunday that occurs after the

first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. however, a

caveat must be introduced here. the full moon in the rule is the

ecclesiastical full moon, which is defined as the fourteenth day

of a tabular lunation, where day 1

corresponds to the ecclesiastical new moon. it does not

always occur on the same date as the astronomical full moon.

the ecclesiastical vernal equinox is always on march 21.

therefore, easter must be celebrated on a sunday between the

dates of march 22 and april 25.

在公元325年之前，復(fù)活節(jié)的慶祝時(shí)間可以是一周中不同的時(shí)間，

而這些時(shí)間包括星期五、星期六和星期天。在那些年里，康斯坦丁

大帝組建了尼西亞理事會(huì)。這個(gè)理事會(huì)制定了復(fù)活節(jié)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：復(fù)活

節(jié)應(yīng)該在第一個(gè)滿月后或是春分后的第一個(gè)星期進(jìn)行慶祝。在這里，

我們要作一下解釋。在規(guī)定中所指的“滿月”是基督教的滿月，而“滿

月”的時(shí)間定在陰歷月份的第十四天，那么，這個(gè)月的1號(hào)就是基督

教的“新月”。由于天文滿月，復(fù)活節(jié)的日期不會(huì)是每年的同一天。

另外，基督教的“春分”通常是3月21日。因此，復(fù)活節(jié)必須在3月

22日-4月24日之間的其中一個(gè)星期天進(jìn)行慶祝。

the lenten ason 四旬齋季節(jié)

lent is the forty-six day period just prior to easter sunday. it

begins on ash wednesday. mardi gras (french for fat tuesday)

is a celebration,

sometimes called carnival, practiced around the world, on the

tuesday prior to ash wednesday. it was designed as a way to

get it all out before the sacrifices of lent began. new orleans is

the focal point of mardi gras celebrations in the u.s. read about

the religious meanings of the lenten ason.

四旬齋是早期復(fù)活節(jié)里面為期46天的時(shí)期。四旬齋開(kāi)始于圣灰星期

三。“狂歡節(jié)”也稱為“嘉年華”。在早期，它橫跨星期三和圣灰星期

四，是一個(gè)全世界都進(jìn)行的慶典。在四旬齋獻(xiàn)祭開(kāi)始前，狂歡節(jié)是

一個(gè)使人身心舒暢的節(jié)日。其中，新奧爾良是美國(guó)狂歡節(jié)的焦點(diǎn)。

因此，我們要好好理解四旬齋的宗教含義。

the easter bunny 復(fù)活兔

the easter bunny is not a modern invention. the symbol

originated with the pagan festival of eastre. the goddess,

eastre, was worshipped by the anglo-saxons through her

earthly symbol, the rabbit.

復(fù)活兔并不是現(xiàn)代產(chǎn)物。復(fù)活兔起源于異教的復(fù)活節(jié)。當(dāng)時(shí)，耶穌

的世俗象征是一個(gè)兔子，并被盎格魯撒克遜人供奉著。

the germans brought the symbol of the easter rabbit to

america. it was widely ignored by other christians until shortly

after the civil war. in fact, easter itlf was not widely

celebrated in america until after that time.

而德國(guó)人將復(fù)活兔帶到了美國(guó)。直至美國(guó)南北戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)后，復(fù)活兔才被

大多數(shù)基督教人士所重視。事實(shí)上，在這次內(nèi)戰(zhàn)結(jié)束后，復(fù)活節(jié)也

未在美國(guó)被人們廣泛地慶祝。

the easter egg 復(fù)活蛋

as with the easter bunny and the holiday itlf, the easter egg

predates the christian holiday of easter. the exchange of eggs

in the springtime is a

custom that was centuries old when easter was first

celebrated by christians.與復(fù)活兔和復(fù)活節(jié)一樣，復(fù)活蛋預(yù)示著復(fù)

活節(jié)即將到來(lái)。當(dāng)基督教徒慶祝第一個(gè)復(fù)活節(jié)后，人們開(kāi)始春天互

相交換復(fù)活蛋，而這已成為了人們好幾百年的習(xí)俗。from the

earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures.

eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant,

colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of

certain flowers.

在早期，復(fù)活蛋在許多文明中象征著“再生”。人們常常用金色的葉

子包裹復(fù)活蛋，或是農(nóng)民的做法：將復(fù)活蛋畫得色彩斑斕，并把它

和葉子或是真花瓣一起煮沸。

today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in easter

baskets along with the modern version of real easter eggs --

tho made of plastic or chocolate candy.

在今天，孩子們到處搜刮復(fù)活蛋，并將這些蛋放到復(fù)活節(jié)籃子中。

為什么呢？因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)代的復(fù)活蛋是用軟糖或巧克力做的

復(fù)活節(jié)和圣誕節(jié)一樣，是外來(lái)的節(jié)日。《圣經(jīng)?新約全書》記載，

耶穌被釘死在十字架上，第三天身體復(fù)活，復(fù)活節(jié)因此得名。 復(fù)活

節(jié)

復(fù)活節(jié)是基督宗教最重大的節(jié)日，重要性超過(guò)圣誕節(jié)，宗教起源與

節(jié)期在以色列。按《圣經(jīng)?馬太福音》的說(shuō)法，耶穌基督在十字架上

受刑死后三天復(fù)活，因而設(shè)立此節(jié)。歷史學(xué)家根據(jù)《圣經(jīng)》和先進(jìn)

以色列人逾越節(jié)的日期，推算出在春分日（3月21日）之后月滿后

的第一個(gè)星期天就是《圣經(jīng)》中講到耶穌復(fù)活的日子。由于每年的

春分日都不固定，所以每年的復(fù)活節(jié)的具體日期也是不確定的。但

節(jié)期大致在3月22日至4月25日之間。關(guān)于耶穌基督之死，按基

督教教義，是為了贖世人的罪；耶穌基督的身體復(fù)活，是為了叫信

徒得到永生。因此，在基督宗教中，復(fù)活節(jié)具有極度重要偉大的意

義。英國(guó)大部分節(jié)日都起源于宗教。復(fù)活節(jié)發(fā)生在過(guò)了春分月圓后

的第一個(gè)星期日，原是紀(jì)念西亞異教神明巴力的同父異母妹妹亞斯

塔路降生的日子，亞斯塔路也是巴力的情婦。相傳巴力得知妹妹

亞斯塔路生于一枚天鵝蛋中，就去灌木中尋找；找到了，就抱在懷

里孵化出了一只兔子；兔子長(zhǎng)大后成了一個(gè)美女，和巴力同居，后

來(lái)在巴力危難之際還救過(guò)巴力一命。英語(yǔ)單詞easter的詞源就是亞

斯塔路。

year.[1] according to christian scripture, jesus was

resurrected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion.

some christians celebrate this

resurrection on easter day or easter sunday[2] (also

resurrection day or resurrection sunday), two days after good

friday and three days after

maundy thursday. the chronology of his death and

resurrection is variously interpreted to be between ad 26 and

ad 36. easter also refers to the ason of the church year

called eastertide or the easter ason. traditionally the easter

ason lasted for the forty days from easter day until

ascension day but now officially[citation needed] lasts for the

fifty days until pentecost. the first week of the easter ason is

known as easter week or the octave of easter. easter also

marks the end of lent, a ason of fasting, prayer, and penance.

easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation

to the civil

calendar. the first council of nicaea (325) established the date

of easter as the first sunday after the full moon (the paschal

full moon) following the northern hemispheres vernal

equinox.[3] ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on

march 21 (regardless of the astronomically correct date), and

the full moon is not necessarily the astronomically correct date.

the date of easter therefore varies between march 22 and april

25. eastern christianity bas its calculations on the julian

calendar who march 21 corresponds, during the twenty-first

century, to april 3 in the gregorian calendar, in which calendar

their celebration of easter therefore varies between april 4 and

may 8.

easter is linked to the jewish passover by much of its

symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. in most

european languages the feast called easter in english is

termed by the words for passover in tho languages and in

the older english versions of the bible the term easter was the

term ud to translate passover.[4][5]

relatively newer[citation needed] elements such as the easter

bunny and easter egg hunts have become part of the holidays

modern celebrations, and tho aspects are often celebrated

by many christians and non-christians alike. there are also

some christian denominations who do not celebrate easter.

popular modern depictions of easter can be viewed as a

celebration of spring.

【篇三：復(fù)活節(jié)節(jié)日簡(jiǎn)介及名稱的來(lái)源介紹】

xx復(fù)活節(jié)是4月5日

復(fù)活節(jié)節(jié)日簡(jiǎn)介

復(fù)活節(jié)是紀(jì)念耶穌復(fù)活，也是基督教最重要的一個(gè)節(jié)日。據(jù)圣經(jīng)記

載，上帝的兒子耶穌降生在馬槽里，當(dāng)他三十歲的時(shí)候，挑選十二

個(gè)學(xué)生，開(kāi)始傳道工作。三年半中，他醫(yī)病、傳道、趕鬼，幫助各

樣有需要的人，將天國(guó)的道理說(shuō)給人聽(tīng)。一直到上帝所安排的時(shí)候

到了，耶穌基督被門徒猶大出賣，被捉拿、審問(wèn)，被羅馬兵丁釘死

在十字架上，臨死前曾預(yù)言三日后必復(fù)活。果然在第三日，耶穌復(fù)

活了!按圣經(jīng)的解釋，耶穌基督乃道成肉身的圣子，來(lái)世上為要贖世

人的罪，成為世人的代罪羔羊，這也是為什么復(fù)活節(jié)如此重要了。

耶穌雖然像犯人一樣被釘十字架，他死并不是因?yàn)樗凶?，而是?/span>

按上帝的計(jì)劃替世人贖罪。現(xiàn)在他從死里復(fù)活，表示他為我們贖罪

成功。任何人只要信靠他，向他認(rèn)罪，就可得上帝赦免。而耶穌的

復(fù)活，代表他勝過(guò)了死亡，所以凡是信靠他的人，都有永生，就是

可以永遠(yuǎn)和耶穌在一起。因?yàn)?，耶穌現(xiàn)在仍然活著，所以他聽(tīng)得見(jiàn)

我們向他的禱告，會(huì)看顧我們每天的生活，賜力量給我們，讓每一

天都充滿了希望。他現(xiàn)在仍然活著，天天與我們?cè)谝黄稹?/span> 復(fù)活節(jié)名

稱的來(lái)源

法語(yǔ)、荷蘭語(yǔ)和北歐諸語(yǔ)的名稱來(lái)自浩然遇難節(jié)。浩然遇難節(jié)一詞

在英語(yǔ)和德語(yǔ)原指古代宗教的春節(jié)，即慶祝春回大地的節(jié)日。該節(jié)

日源于古巴比倫的愛(ài)情、生育與戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)女神伊絲塔(ishtar，美索不達(dá)

米亞女神)，后來(lái)伊絲塔成了西歐的黎明和春天女神依絲翠(eastre)。

證據(jù)之一是兩個(gè)名字有相似的讀音;另一證據(jù)是eastre的涵義為東方

(east)，因?yàn)樘?yáng)是從東方升起的。希斯錄著的《兩個(gè)巴比倫》說(shuō)

easter(即復(fù)活節(jié)的英文)是個(gè)名字，源自迦勒底，跟基督教沒(méi)有關(guān)系。

[1]其實(shí)就是阿斯塔特(ashtart)，即天后貝爾斯特的頭銜之一。考古

學(xué)家萊亞德在亞述找到的碑銘上發(fā)現(xiàn)，貝爾特斯就是古巴比倫女神

伊絲塔。

根據(jù)《牛津詞典》和其他一些文章，(比如francis x. weir的

handbook of christian feasts and customs)，英文easter這個(gè)字

與猶太人的逾越節(jié)這個(gè)字有關(guān)，這不僅因?yàn)橐d就是逾越節(jié)的羔羊，

而且在時(shí)間上耶穌基督的復(fù)活和逾越節(jié)也吻合。在很多歐洲的語(yǔ)言

里，不僅逾越節(jié)的宴席曾稱為easter，而且早期英文圣經(jīng)譯本中用

easter來(lái)翻譯逾越節(jié)。
