June 六月

英文中每个月的名称有何来历？

Having conceded one month to a Greek deity, we’re now back with the Romans: June is named after the ancient Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter and goddess of marriage and childbirth. June was also once sometimes known as midsummer month.

前面已经有一个月是以希腊女神命名的了，现在我们再次回到罗马的神灵：六月是以古罗马女神朱诺（Juno）命名的。她是主神朱庇特（Jupiter）的妻子，是婚姻与分娩之神。六月也曾一度被认为是仲夏月。

July 七月

英文中每个月的名称有何来历？

The first month in the calendar named after a real person, July was named in honour of Julius Caesar after his death in 44 BC, July being the month of his birth. Before it was renamed, the month was known as Quintilis (borrowed into English as Quintile), which means ‘fifth’. If you’ve been counting, you’ll know that July isn’t the fifth month: we’ll come on to that when we reach September and October.

July是日历中第一个以真实的人物命名的月份，七月的命名是为了纪念尤里乌斯•凯撒（Julius Caesar）。公元前44年，凯撒大帝去世，七月是他出生的月份。在更名之前，这个月叫做“Quintilis”（英语则为“Quintile”），意为“第五”。如果你数过了的话，你会发现七月并不是第五个月：这一点在说到九月和十月的时候我们会做出解释。
