暑期的时间是漫长的，在炽热的太阳烘烤下，呆在家里成了一种幸福。因此也从奶奶嘴里了解到了有关二十四节气及其相关的事项，于是我开始了关于二十四节气中处暑的英文研究,希望炎热的夏天可以早些结束，不过当时才八月初，也是痴人说梦了。
处暑，End of Heat,the 14th solar term of the year,begins this year on Aug 23 and ends on Sep 7.End of Heat implies that most parts in China are getting rid of the hot summer and entering autumn.But in some areas, especially in South China, autumn is late in coming and people are still bothered by hot weather(难受，这不就是我要经历的吗）.End of Heat is also the busy harvest season for farmers.
