September是九月 为什么Septwolves是七匹狼 而不是九匹狼? October是十月 为什么Octopus是八爪鱼(章鱼) 而不是十爪鱼? December是十二月 为什么decade是十年 而不是十二年? 这是因为,在古罗马历中,一年只有十个月,于是就有了以下的对应关系: 古罗马历 详情请参考以下资料: September (from Latin septem, 'seven') or mensis September was originally the seventh of ten months on the ancient Roman calendar that began with March (mensis Martius, 'Mars' month'). It had 29 days. After the reforms that resulted in a 12-month year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name. ——(来源:Wikipedia) |
