是二十四节气中的第21个节气，

is the 21st solar term among the twenty－four solar terms

冬季的第三个节气

and the third one in winter．

今年的大雪比以往要来的更早一些

Heavy Snow comes earlier than usual this year．

按照正常时间来讲，

Normally，

每年大雪在公历的时间

应该是12月7日～12月8日左右，

Heavy Snow falls around December 7th to 8th in the solar calendar every year．

但是今年的大雪节气，

却是在12月6日，

However， this year＇s Heavy Snow solar term is on December 6th，

相当于提前了一天。

which is one day earlier．

按照民间的说法，

According to folk sayings，

大雪来的早，三冬要穿袄，

if Heavy Snow comes early， people need to wear padded jackets throughout the three winter months．

也就是说

That means

从这个时候开始，

from now on

我们就要准备棉衣这些，

we should start preparing cotton－padded clothes

准备过冬了，

and get ready for the winter．

大雪节气之后，

After the Heavy Snow solar term，

基本上离新年也就不远了，

the New Year is not far away．

所以为了顺利过好新年此时一定要注意保护好自己的身体，

So in order to have a smooth New Year， we must take good care of our bodies at this time．

老话说：“大雪一只鸡，三冬好身体”，

As the old saying goes，＂Having a chicken during Heavy Snow ensures good health throughout the three winter months．＂

意思就是这个时候，

可以适当吃上一点鸡肉，

It means that we can eat some chicken appropriately at this time，

它可以起到很好的滋补作用，

助力提高免疫力。

which can play a very good nourishing role and help improve our immunity．

同时天气越发的寒冷，

Meanwhile， the weather is getting colder and colder．

在这个时候，

我们要注意，

不要去剧烈的运动，

we should pay attention not to do vigorous exercise at this time

以免导致寒气入体，

to avoid the cold air enter our bodies．

因为剧烈运动之后，

Because after vigorous exercise，

人体就会大量的流汗，

people will sweat a lot，

而这个时候，

At this time

如果不注意保暖，

if we don＇t pay attention to keeping warm

被冷风吹到，

and are blown by the cold wind，

就会导致受寒。

we will catch a cold．

大雪节气就要到了

The Heavy Snow solar term is coming soon．

在生活起居还有饮食上

In our daily life and diet

我们都要及时的做出改变，

we should make changes timely

安安稳稳的度过冬天，

to spend the winter peacefully

平平安安的迎新年。

and welcome the New Year safely．
