1.The word solstice translates to"Sun stands still".冬至的英文solstice的意思是“太阳静止不动”。Solstice derives from the Latin term solstitium,containing sol,which means"Sun",and the past participle stem of sistere,meaning"to make stand".This comes from the fact that the Sun’s position in the sky relative to the horizon at noon,which increases and decreases throughout the year,appears to pause in the days surrounding the winter solstice.
