你能相信现在已经是一年中的第四个月了吗？四月！
12. 你想知道英文单词“April（四月）”从哪里来的吗？这个月的英文名称来自古罗马，也就是现在意大利的首都。
13. 今天人们仍然不确定四月的名字从何而来。它在古罗马的历法中是第二个月，后来它变成了一年中的第四个月。
14. 那里的人们把这个月叫做“Aprilis”。一些人说它来自拉丁文里的“Aperire”这个词——拉丁文是古罗马的主要语言。
15. 它的意思是“开放”，所以它可以指春天花朵的开放。在这个月，天空放晴。经常下雨。树木变绿。草和花长出来。还有人说“April（四月）”来自希腊语中表示“阿佛洛狄忒”的词，阿佛洛狄忒是希腊的爱与美之女神。甚至到现在，“April（艾普丽尔）”还是一个很受欢迎的女孩名字。你喜欢这个名字吗？
关于“April（四月）”的名字由来可能一直是个故事，但我们看不到这个月会很快消失。你觉得当四月“3000岁”的时候，人们会谈论些什么呢？
