他在窥视!(He's staring!)

今天是土拨鼠日,这是一个奇怪的传统,在美国和加拿大,由负责预测冬天是否会持续的土拨鼠Punxsutawney Phil主演。根据传说,如果菲尔在2月2日看到他的影子,他将再次冬眠,宣布又是六个星期的冬天。否则,春天很快就会到来!这种习俗在19世纪被德国移民带到美国,适应了欧洲的传统,在这种传统中,人们观察到獾等动物,以预测季节性变化。
原文:
Today is the Day of the Marmot, a curious tradition that in the United States and Canada stars Punxsutawney Phil, a marmot in charge of predicting whether the winter will lengthen. According to legend, if Phil sees his shadow on February 2, he will hibernate again, announcing six more weeks of winter. If not, spring is coming soon! This custom was brought to America by German immigrants in the 19th century, adapting a European tradition in which animals such as badgers were observed to anticipate seasonal changes.
