Every season brings special things—flowers in spring, sunshine in summer, colourful leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. People have created fun sayings and expressions about these seasons over the years. Let’s get to know some of them.
Spring: a fresh start
Spring is all about new beginnings, so people often say, “April showers bring May flowers.” This means the rain in April helps flowers bloom in May. It’s a way of telling us that good things often come after a little bit of trouble.
Summer: fun in the sun
Summer is warm, sunny, and full of life. A popular saying is “Make hay(草料) while the sun shines.” This means making good use of a good situation(形势) while it lasts. Farmers used to say this because they could only dry hay on sunny days.
Autumn: a time for change
When leaves turn red, orange and yellow, people often use the phrase “the autumn of one’s life”. This expression refers to the later years of a person’s life, as autumn comes later in the year.
Winter: comfortable and cold
Winter can be hard, but people make the best of it. You might hear someone say “snowed under”, which means being very busy, like when snow piles up all around you.
Seasonal sayings are like little bits of wisdom(智慧) in fun words. So next time you hear one, smile and think about how it connects to the world around you.
