As 2021 comes to an end, we leave behind a wonderful year of English grammar.

This year, we explored many areas – adjectives, phrasal verbs, determiners and more.
今年，我们探索了许多领域——形容词、短语动词、限定词等等。
We also explored many areas of popular culture – films, songs, and even sports.
我们还探索了流行文化的许多领域——电影、歌曲，甚至体育。
But one theme stood out this past year: the passing of the seasons.
但去年有一个主题很突出：季节的流逝。
With the changing seasons – and the passing of days – the Everyday Grammar team explored the connections between grammar and time.
随着季节的变化和时间的流逝，日常语法团队探索了语法和时间之间的联系。
As 2021 comes to an end, let’s explore how the passing seasons played an important part in our programming this year.
2021 年即将结束，让我们探讨一下过去的季节如何在我们今年的节目中发挥重要作用。
With the arrival of Spring in 2021, the Everyday Grammar team wrote about phrasal verbs with the term spring.
随着 2021 年春天的到来，日常语法团队编写了带有春天一词的短语动词。
Examples included spring on, spring from, and spring up.
示例包括 spring on、spring from 和 spring up。
All of these phrasal verbs have different meanings. But the central point of that report was to show you how these phrasal verbs – and the noun spring, the season – carry or suggest the idea of a beginning, growth, movement or change.
所有这些短语动词都有不同的含义。但该报告的中心点是向您展示这些短语动词 - 以及名词春天、季节 - 如何承载或暗示开始、成长、运动或变化的概念。
In North America's summer months, we did three reports that had some connection with the season. These included verbs and summer weather, grammar for rest and relaxation , and grammar for planning summer trips.
在北美的夏季，我们做了三份与该季节有一定联系的报告。其中包括动词和夏季天气、休息和放松的语法以及计划夏季旅行的语法。
In terms of verbs, linking verbs played an important part in the way we taught how to describe summer weather.
就动词而言，连接动词在我们教授如何描述夏季天气的方式中发挥了重要作用。
These linking verbs included feel, look, and get, as in “It feels humid,” “The clouds look scary,” or “It’s getting hot.”
这些连接动词包括feel、look和get，如“感觉很潮湿”、“云看起来很可怕”或“天气越来越热”。
In our grammar and relaxation report, we explored the structure have + a noun phrase, as in “have lunch,” “have plans,” or “have a blast,” meaning to have a lot of fun.
在我们的语法和放松报告中，我们探索了“have + 名词短语”的结构，例如“吃午餐”、“有计划”或“玩得开心”，意思是玩得很开心。
And in our planning summer trips report, we explored how Americans talk about future time – will and be going to.
在我们的夏季旅行计划报告中，我们探讨了美国人如何谈论未来的时间——将要和将要。
The seasonal change to autumn, also known as fall, gave the Everyday Grammar team a chance to explore descriptions. Descriptions are important for autumn: It is a time of wonderful colors, cooler temperatures, and tasty seasonal treats.
秋天的季节变化给了日常语法团队一个探索描述的机会。对秋天的描述很重要：这是一个色彩绚丽、气温凉爽和美味的时令美食的季节。
We explored adjectives, noun phrases and determiners. We taught how to create descriptions of a happy fall day.
我们探索了形容词、名词短语和限定词。我们教了如何描述一个快乐的秋天。
As our year comes to an end, you might wonder about our current season in the United States: winter.
随着一年的结束，您可能想知道美国当前的季节：冬季。
Winter is a time of cold temperatures, grey skies, and yet warm feelings and celebrations such as Christmas and the New Year.
冬天是一个气温寒冷、天空灰暗的时期，但也有温暖的感觉和庆祝活动，如圣诞节和新年。
We will end this report with a question for our readers and listeners around the world. If you had to connect the winter season with a subject within grammar, what subject would that be? Why?
我们将以向世界各地的读者和听众提出一个问题来结束本报告。如果你必须将冬季与语法中的一个主题联系起来，那会是哪个主题？为什么？
The Everyday Grammar team connected spring with phrasal verbs, summer with linking verbs, and fall with adjectives. But what about winter?
日常语法团队将春天与短语动词连接起来，夏天与连接动词连接起来，秋天与形容词连接起来。但冬天呢？
