这不是普通的星期二(This is not an ordinary Tuesday)

狂欢节，或称胖子星期二，是一个充满色彩的节日，标志着四旬斋开始前的最后一天，即灰烬星期三。它的起源可以追溯到古代罗马的庆祝活动，如农神节，随着基督教的传播，农神节与当地传统融合在一起，产生了狂欢节。它的名字来自法语，其中GRAS的意思是“脂肪”，指的是在禁食期之前食用的肉类、鸡蛋和奶酪等丰富的食物。

Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is a colorful holiday that marks the last day of indulgence before the start of Lent, Ash Wednesday. Its origins date back to ancient Roman celebrations such as Saturnalia, which, with the expansion of Christianity, merged with local traditions, giving rise to carnivals. Its name comes from the French, where gras means "fat", in reference to rich foods such as meat, eggs and cheese, consumed before the fasting period.
