示範例句 · Example
Our winter holiday starts in the middle of December.
逐字我們的寒假在十二月的中間開始。
December 是一年裡的第 12 個、也是最後一個月，走完它就換新的一年（後面接的是 January）。英文說「在十二月」是 in December，前面不加 the；但只要前面有 last、next、early、late，連 in 都不用，直接說 last December、early December。要小心的是中文那邊：我們口中的「十二月」有時指農曆的十二月（臘月），December 只用在國曆，農曆要說 the twelfth lunar month。

Think of the last box on the calendar: the twelfth month, the one you are living in when the year runs out. November is behind it, and when it ends the number of the year itself changes and January starts the count again.
