今天是爱尔兰的传统节日圣帕特里克节(Saint Patrick’s Festival)。留学党们是不是对这个节日比较陌生呢？今天我们就来告诉大家圣帕特里克节到底是个啥。
How Much Do You REALLY Know about Saint Patrick's Festival?
除了‘绿帽子节’，你可能还需要知道这些：
Why the 17th of March?
为什么要在3月17日庆祝呢？
Simple, legend has it that Saint Patrick died on the 17th of March and the festival is to commemorate his life. A bit like the Dragon Boat Festival.
3 月17日是圣帕特里克亡故的日子，人们为了纪念他，把这一天定为圣帕特里克节。就像屈原和端午节的故事。
Why is there shamrock everywhere?
为什么‘节花’是三叶草？
The Shamrock was said to be the tool used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the Holy Trinity to convert the Irish pagans to Christianity.
传说，圣帕特里克来到爱尔兰岛后，希望向岛民传播基督教，机智的他拔起脚边的一株三叶草，用上面的三片叶子简单明了的解释了‘三位一体’的概念。
DID YOU KNOW?
注意，下面都是知识点！

Saint Patrick was not Irish...
圣帕特里克其实不是爱尔兰人...
...but from Wales! He was born in the late 4th century. He was abducted as a teenager and brought to Ireland as a slave to herd sheep. He escaped back to England, joined the Church and became a priest. Years later he returned to Ireland as a missionary and spent the rest of his life or the rest of his life preaching, baptising and building churches until his death on the 17th of March 461.
。。。而是英国人！他出生于4世纪晚期。半大小子的时候（中文小编实在不忍心改这句！！！），他作为奴隶被带到爱尔兰为奴隶主养羊。之后他逃回英国，加入了教堂，并成为了一名牧师。多年后，作为传教士他又回到了爱尔兰，并在这里布教、施洗礼、修建教堂，渡过余生。

The first Saint Patrick’s festival parade didn’t take place in Ireland…
第一次圣帕特里克游行并不是在爱尔兰...
… but in Boston in 1737. It was organized by 27 homesick Irish emigrants who wanted to celebrate their Irish heritage. Around 34 million modern Americans claim Irish ancestry. Today, the parades are held all over the world.
...它发生在1737年的美国波士顿。这是由27个想要庆祝爱尔兰文化传统的爱尔兰移民组织的。当今有约3400万美国人宣称自己拥有爱尔兰血统。 今天，圣帕特里克庆典已在世界各地举行。

His name was not Patrick…
他不叫帕特里克…
… but Maewyn Succat. He changed to Patrick when he became a priest.
… 人家的名字原来是Maewyn Succat。 当他成为牧师的时候，改名为帕特里克。

The actual colour of St Patrick is...
圣帕特里克节的代表色是...
…. Blue! In fact an official colour of Ireland is called St. Patrick’s Blue. In addition, the other official colour of Ireland is another blue – it is darker and it is called Presidential Blue. It is the blue seen on the official escutcheon on the front of every Irish embassy around the world and consulate. Green reflects the ancient Irish tradition marking the first day of Spring. Green is now the colour synonymous with Ireland and St. Patrick’s Day and people of Irish descent all over the world wear something green on March 17.
...蓝色！ 其实爱尔兰的国色是‘圣帕特里克蓝’（没错，不是绿色！）。 另外还有一个爱尔兰‘官方色’，也是蓝色 ，不过更暗，被称为‘总统蓝’。 在世界各地的爱尔兰使馆和领事馆前悬挂的国徽。上看到的就是总统蓝。 绿色在古老的爱尔兰传统中标志着春的第一天。 而如今绿色已经是爱尔兰和圣帕特里克节的代名词啦，全世界的爱尔兰人和爱尔兰后裔会都会在3月17日这一天与热爱爱尔兰的朋友们一起，庆祝圣帕特里克节，把世界染绿！
怎么样？现在你对圣帕特里克节是不是又有了新的认识了呢？希望我们的文化小科普可以帮助大家更好地了解西方文化！最后祝大家圣帕特里克节快乐！
