雙語:有點可愛!你知道滿天星的英文名是什麼嗎?
“萬物有靈,花能解語。”下面就爲大家介紹幾種花市上常見但又不會撞車的花,幫助你向熱戀的、暗戀的Ta表明自己的真心:
Gladiolus
劍蘭,學名爲唐菖蒲,與玫瑰、康乃馨、扶郎花一起被譽爲“世界四大切花”。由於其與衆不同的生長姿態,無論怎麼插花,都會表現出風韻不凡的氣質,能夠從容地由自然美昇華到藝術美。
劍蘭的花語是信念、真誠正直(faithfulness, sincerity and integrity)。1983年,斗南農民拔掉蔬菜種出第一枝劍蘭,開啓了斗南的鮮花之路。不得不說斗南的鮮花市場就是從這一株劍蘭花開始的。
Gladiolus is both the scientific and common name for these flowers. They are sometimes referred to a sword flowers or sword lilies due to the sword-like shape of both the foliage and the flower spike. The flower spire is said to pierce the heart of the recipient with love.
唐菖蒲既是這種花的學名又是通用名。它有時被稱爲劍花或劍百合,因爲葉片和花穗都是劍形的。據說花尖頂是爲了用愛刺穿受贈者的心。
鈴蘭花
Lily of the valley
鈴蘭花只伴着五月的春風開放,它的花語是幸福再來(return of happiness)。
鈴蘭花白色而細小,一朵朵密生的小花,像一串串的小鈴鐺,散發着沁人心脾的花香,似乎表達着想要“呼喚幸福”的美好願望。
Lily of the valley is often chosen as a wedding flower, both for its elegance and the delicacy of its fragrance. In the language of flowers, lily of the valley represents a “return to happiness,” perhaps because this early bloomer is a harbinger of spring.
鈴蘭花常被選爲婚禮用花,它既有高雅的氣質,又有芳香的細膩。在花語裡,鈴蘭花代表着“幸福再來”,也許是因爲這種早熟的花朵預示着春天的到來。
帝王花
Protea
因爲久開不敗,帝王花被譽爲全世界最富貴華麗的鮮花,代表着旺盛而頑強的生命力,也是南非的國花。
帝王花的植物生命期可達100年以上,作爲鮮切花也不易枯萎,即便成爲乾花依然華麗如初。
雄性帝王,一般都是塊狀敞開型的,外層包片仔細看相對尖銳,而雌性帝王相對含蓄內斂,花苞半開而修長。
Protea flowers are native to the southern hemisphere, primarily Australia and South Africa. These unique flowers have existed since prehistoric times with some estimates dating them to 300 million years ago.
帝王花原產於南半球,主要是澳大利亞和南非。這一獨特的花自史前時代就已存在,據估計可追溯到3億年前。
What the protea flower means depends on the circumstances and the relationship between the giver and receiver, but there are some commonly agreed upon meanings for the protea flower——daring and courage.
帝王花的寓意取決於環境以及給予者和接受者之間的關係,但是它有一些共同的含義:大膽和勇氣。
Larkspur
飛燕草因其花形別緻,酷似一隻只燕子聞名。花朵形態優雅,惹人喜愛。
飛燕草的花色多樣,不同的顏色有着不同的花語。例如藍色的花語是抑鬱;紫色是柔順、傾慕;粉紅色是詩意;而白色是淡雅。
The larkspur represents the strong bond of love. In general, it signifies an open heart, ardent attachment to someone. As with many flowers, the symbolism changes with the color of the bloom.
飛燕草代表着堅固的愛。一般來說,它象徵着一顆開放的心,對某人熱烈的依戀。與許多花一樣,它的寓意會隨着花朵顏色變化而改變。
滿天星
Baby's Breath
滿天星學名圓錐石頭花,英語名叫baby's breath,字面意思是“嬰兒的呼吸”,如嬰兒呼吸般的輕柔純淨的感覺,極爲契合滿天星的氣質。
滿天星花語:我所愛的人的呼吸。戀人的鼻息,在臉頰上、耳邊溫柔地掠過,就像滿天星一樣溫柔而多情,怎樣也數不清、剪不斷。
Most people know the baby's breath flower as the iconic symbol of long lasting love because it's commonly used to round out wedding bouquets and centerpieces. The tiny white flowers represent the purity of emotion that two people should have for each other during a wedding ceremony. Self discipline and fidelity is a modern meaning for this classic flower.
大多數人都知道滿天星是愛情永恆的象徵,因爲它通常被當做裝飾婚禮花束和中心裝飾品。小小的白花代表着兩個人在婚禮上對彼此應有的純潔情感。自律和忠誠是這朵經典之花的現代意義。
Daisy
雛菊的花語是天真、希望和深藏在心底的愛,非常適合向暗戀的人委婉地表達真心。
The modern English word daisy comes from an Old English word that's impossible to spell and next to impossible to pronounce. The important thing is that the Old English word meant “day's eye” because daisy flowers only opened during the daytime.
現代英語單詞Daisy來源於一個古英語單詞,它幾乎不可能拼寫和發音。重要的是,古英語單詞的意思是“白天的眼睛”,因爲雛菊花只在白天開放。
The daisy's message is, ultimately, one of hope and renewal. In sending daisies, the sender hopes the viewer will see the world as they once did as a child.
