夏至这个词来自拉丁语，意思是太阳和暂停或静止。在冬至前后的日子里，太阳每年在地球天空中的南北漂移确实会减慢，暂停，然后逆转方向。所以在接近至日的时候，太阳每天在天空中的路径并没有太大的变化。事实上，在12月至日附近，太阳在北半球天空中持续的低弧线，以及较低的表面温度，已经在这条通往意大利北部山城皮埃奥的道路上留下了明显的印记。只有阳光照到地面的地方，路上的晨霜才融化了。但它仍然留在那些一直被栅栏笼罩的地方，在沥青路面上纹上了栅栏的霜冻图案。

The word solstice is from the Latin for Sun and to pause or stand still. And in the days surrounding a solstice the Sun's annual north-south drift in planet Earth's sky does slow down, pause, and then reverse direction. So near the solstice the daily path of the Sun through the sky really doesn't change much. In fact, near the December solstice, the Sun's consistent, low arc through northern hemisphere skies, along with low surface temperatures, has left a noticeable imprint on this path to the mountain town of Peaio in northern Italy. The morning frost on the road has melted away only where the sunlight was able to reach the ground. But it remains in the areas persistently shadowed by the fence, tattooing in frost an image of the fence on the asphalt surface.
