高中英语双语阅读 十二月份的由来：九月素材.docxVIP

十二月份的由来：九月 September 九月 September follows on from Quinitlis and Sextilis, in that it comes from the Latin septem, ‘seven’. As with those (and the rest of the calendar), the numbering is a bit off now: September was originally the seventh month in an ancient Roman ten-month calendar, which started with March. September源自拉丁文septem，就是“七”的意思。原来古罗马人只把一年分为十个月，March是一月，而September正好就是七月。
