中国的樱花开了 歪果仁表示好羡慕！
People worldwide usually associate Cherry blossoms with spring in Japan, but China's blooms are so magical, they might just become their national symbol as well. The country has just been flooded by an ocean of colorful blossoms, which should stay vibrant through April.
世界人民往往把樱花与日本的春天联系起来，但是中国的樱花太神奇了，还有可能成为他们国家的标志。这个国家已经被漫山遍野的樱花淹没了，他们的花期贯穿整个四月。
Residents and tourists from all over the world are flocking to the many different sites to admire these gorgeous floral children of spring. At Kunming Zoo in Yunnan Province, for example, the 19th Cherry Blossom Festival began on March 7th and will last until April 7th. It features over 5,000 flowering cherry and crab-apple trees. The 2018 Shanghai Cherry Blossom Festival will run from March 16th to April 15th in Gucun Park, showing off more than 12,000 cherry blossom trees of 82 varieties.
中国人民及世界各地的游客成群结队的来到这些赏樱景点，来欣赏这些生机勃勃的春天的花仙子。比如在云南的昆明动物园，第19届樱花节于3月7日开幕，4月7日闭幕，主打展出5000余株盛开的樱花和沙果花。从3月16日到4月15日上海顾村公园举办2018届上海樱花节，展出82个品种的一万两千余株樱花。
In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Japanese cultural tradition that is often associated with Buddhist influence, and which is embodied in the concept of mono no aware. The association of the cherry blossom with mono no aware dates back to 18thcentury scholar Motoori Norinaga. The transience of the blossoms, the exquisite beauty and volatility, has often been associated with mortality and graceful and readily acceptance of destiny and karma; for this reason, cherry blossoms are richly symbolic.
在日本，樱花象征着云团，因为它们总是成片开放。同时樱花也一直是人的生命脆弱本性的象征。对生命脆弱本性的认识是日本文化传统的一部分，与佛教文化对日本的影响有关，这种文化尤为体现在“物哀”的概念中，18世纪的日本学者本居宣长是第一个将樱花与“物哀”联系起来的人。樱花的花期短暂，姿色绝伦，变幻莫测常常让人联想到人的宿命，人接受既定命运和因果报应的优雅坦然。出于这种原因，樱花被赋予了深邃的文化内涵。
Currently it is widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China, West Siberia, Iran, and Afghanistan.
如今樱花分布范围很广泛，特别是在北半球温带地区，包括日本，台湾，韩国，中国，西伯利亚西部地区，伊朗和阿富汗。
1. I was curious too as the long lines of shrubs reminded me of a tea plantation so I did a Google Image search. It's called the Tea Gardens of Nanjian Yi Autonomous County in China's Yunan province.
我能知道这是在中国的什么地方吗？我也感觉有点好奇。因为这些绵延的灌木让我想到了茶园。所以我在谷歌上搜索了一下。这里叫做南涧黎族自治县茶园，在中国云南省。
