JUNE, the sixth month of the year, consisting of 30 days. The name came into English from Latin, possible from the word juniors (“youths”) on the ground that this month once honored the young. More probably, however, the derivation may be traced to the Roman goddess Juno, who was the wife and sister of Jupiter, or possibly to Junius, the name of a Roman clan. Juno was the patroness and guardian of women, as well as the protector of marriages, and June has long been the month most closely associated with marriage.

6,一年中的第6个月,由30天组成。该名称是从拉丁语转入英语的,可能来自单词juniors(青少年),理由是这个月曾经给年青人以荣誉。然而,更可能的是,该派生词可追溯到罗马女神朱诺,她是朱庇特的妻子和妹妹,或者可能是朱尼厄斯,罗马氏族的名称。朱诺是女性的保护人和守卫者,以及婚姻的保护者,而6月一直都是与婚姻联系最紧密的月份。

The flower associated with June is the rose, and the birthstone of the month is the pearl, moonstone, or alexandrite. Among literary references to June, one of the best known is “And what is so rare as a day in June?/Then, if ever, come perfect days,” from James Russell Lowell’s The Vision of Sir Launfal.

6月有关的花是玫瑰,而该月的诞生石是珍珠,月长石,或紫翠玉。在有关的6月文学作品中最著名的之一是出自詹姆斯·拉塞尔·罗威尔的《朗法尔爵士的远见》“还有什么像6月的一天这么难得吗?如果有的话,那么美好的日子就会到来”。

In the United States, special observances in June include Jefferson Davis’ Birthday (June 3 or the first Monday in June), a legal holiday in several Southern states; Kamehameha Day (June 11), a holiday in Hawaii honoring the king who united the Hawaiian islands into one kingdom; Flag Day (June 14), when the flag is widely displayed; and Father’s Day (the third Sunday in June).

在美国,6月的特别庆祝包括杰佛逊·戴维斯的诞辰(63日或6月的第一个星期一),在南方几个州是法定假日;卡米哈米哈日(611日),夏威夷的假日,纪念将夏威夷群岛统一为一个王国的国王;国旗纪念日(614日),其时国旗被广泛悬挂;以及父亲节(6月的第3个星期日)。

Although the summer solstice occurs on or about June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the beginning of summer, the month is sometimes called the “midsummer month.” Midsummer Eve (June 23) and Midsummer Day (June 24) are celebrated throughout much of Europe and particularly in Scandinavia.

尽管在北半球夏至发生在621日左右,标志着夏天的开始,但该月有时被称为“仲夏月”。庆祝仲夏夜(623日)和仲夏日(624日)遍及欧洲大部分地区,特别是在斯堪的纳维亚半岛。

Historical events occurring in June include D Day in World War II (June 6, 1944), when Allied troops crossed the English Channel to Normandy; the Magna Carta granted by King John at Runnymede (June 15, 1215); the beginning of the War of 1812 (June 18); the beginning of the Korean War (June 25, 1950); the landing of U. S. troops in France in World War I (June 26, 1917); the signing of the UN Charter (June 26, 1945); and the singing of the Treaty of Versailles (June 28, 1919).

发生在历史上的事件包括第二次世界大战的D-日(194466日),当时盟军军队横渡英吉利海峡到达诺曼底;约翰国王在兰尼米德签署《大宪章》(1215615日);1812年的战争开始(618日);朝鲜战争爆发(1950625日);在第一次世界大战中美国军队登陆法国(1917626日);联合国宪章的签署(1945626日);以及凡尔赛和约的签署(1919628日)。
