Today we are going to talk about birthdays.与生日有关的话题。

询问生日的对话

下面是一些常见的对话，主题都是询问生日，注意时态(tense)和介词(preposition)的使用。(That usually means they want to know when did you come to this world)

Q: When were you born? | What year were you born?

A: I was born in 1954.

Q: When is your birthday?

A: I was born on May 1st.

询问年龄的对话

注意除了常见的How old are you, 还可以使用动词turn：变为，将要。

Q: How old are you ?

A: I am 18 (years old). ｜ I just turned 18. | I am turning 19 (years old).

Q: How old are you turning?（将要多少岁）

A: I am turning 19 (years old).

生日祝福语Happy birthday! 生日快乐！Happy belated Birthday! 迟到的生日快乐！（当你忘记了别人的生日，生日后得知，补上对别人的祝福时，使用balated）False friends: anniversary VS birthdayanniversary： 周年纪念日（一年一次），通常是对一些重要事件的纪念,如 “结婚纪念日，开业周年”，但是生日不使用这个词！birthday： 生日（一年一次），特指Bday

Bday is short for birthday! birthday的简写，发信息或者邮件或者有时口语都会少说一些发音，省略了，直接bday。就像我们见面问候更多的是“吃没”，“吃了么”，有时也会说“你已经吃饭了么”“你吃过饭了么”。关系到位，你能听懂，我怎么省事怎么说[捂脸]

庆祝生日怎么说？

以下对话，通常人们询问的是，你的计划，打算如何过生日，这里注意⚠️一个语法，现在进行时表将来，之前文章中也提到过。

Q：What are you doing for your bday|birthday ?

国内外，个人年龄都是个迷，除非关系到位，否则轻易不要询问对方的年龄哦～

可以类比国内有人问你一个月多少钱，没人会真实地告诉你一月多少吧，少去碰灰了～

英文诗｜《生日》在这茫茫人海中，始终有一个人为你而来

如果世界如同一间小屋，而爱就是屋里的窗；如果世界是一艘航船，那么爱就是海上的明灯；

生命该是这世间最宝贵的东西，生命的热忱在爱中得到激发，使两颗爱的心灵相会在一起，更是永远的期待。

在这茫茫人海中，始终有一个人为你而来，和你相会，与你相爱，带着渴望……

接下来就从Christina Georgina Rosstti的名作A Birthday 中去体会当爱来临时，诗人心中欢唱、愉悦的声音。

A Birthday - Christina Georgina Rosstti

My heart is like a singing bird,

Whose mest is in a water,d shoot;

My heart is like an apple-tree

Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;

My heart is like a rainbow shell

That paddles in a halcyon sea;

My heart is gladder than all these

Because my love is come to me.

Raise me a dais of silk and down;

Hang it with vair and purple dyes;

Carve it in doves and pomegranates

And peacocks with a hundred eyes;

Work it in gold and silver grapes,

In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;

Because the bitthday of my life

Is come,my love is come to me.

生日 - 克里斯蒂娜·乔治娜·罗塞蒂

我的心像一只唱歌的鸟儿，

居住在溪流的陡坡上面；

我的心像一棵苹果树，

累累的果实把枝条压弯；

我的心像一只色彩斑斓的贝壳，

漂流在平静的海洋；

我的心比这一切都快乐，

因为我的爱来到我的身边。

为我造一座丝绒铺就的高台，

挂上毛皮和紫色的饰品；

雕刻出鸽子和石榴树的图案，

还有长着一百只眼睛的孔雀；

用金色和银色的葡萄来装点，

再饰以叶子和银色的百合花；

因为我的新生日已经来临，

我的爱人来到我的身边。

ps：也愿你我有一天始终有一个人为你而来，和你相会，与你相爱. 岁月静好，与君语；细水流年，与君同；繁华落尽，与君老。
