“谷雨”是中国传统二十四节气中的第六个节气，也是春季的最后一个节气。此时降雨量明显增加，正好满足了谷物类农作物生长的需要，所以“谷雨”节气的英文翻译为：
今天我们来看看如何用英文描述谷雨这一节气，学会用英文讲述节气的故事，传播中国文化。The traditional Chinese calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms. Gǔyù (pīnyīn) or more commonly pronounced as Gǔyǔ, "grain rain" in English, is the 6th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 30° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 45°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 30°, which in the Gregorian calendar is around April 19-21.传统农历将一年划分为24个节气。Gǔyù（pīnyīn），更常见的发音为Gǔyǔ，英文为grain rain（“谷物雨”）是一年中第6个节气。它始于太阳到达黄经30°，结束于太阳到达黄经45°。它更常指的是太阳正处于黄经30°的日子，在公历中，通常在4月19-21日。Each solar term can be divided into 3 pentads (候). They are: first pentad (初候), second pentad (次候) and last pentad (末候). Pentads in Guyu include:每个节气可分为三候：初候、次候和末候。谷雨的三候为：Duckweed begins to sproutCuckoo perches in mulberry treesGrain Rain originates from the old saying, "Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains," which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops. The Grain Rain signals the end of cold weather and a rapid rise in temperature.“谷雨”这个节气的名称来源于俗语“雨生百谷”，这显示出，在这段时间内雨水对于庄稼的生长是非常重要的。谷雨象征着寒冷天气的终结和温度的大幅度上升。
