台灣俗語的智慧(25)
1) 初一早、初二早，初三睏到飽
(民間歲時節令原有調節生活作息之用，從除夕到初二連續忙碌三天之後，初三就休息一天。初三俗稱「赤狗日」，是諸事不宜的日子，因此可以「睏到飽」) 又農曆初一、初二是拜祭祖先，或探(視)墓厝(祖墳) ，故早起，初三則可以多睡。
On lunar calendar, on the first and
second day of New Year, people get up earlier, to worship their ancestors or
visit ancestors’ tombs while on the third day they can sleep as late they want. (早與飽押韻)
2)
有父有母初三、(初) 四，無父無母隨人去
父母尚存，出嫁的女兒大年在初三初或四回娘家(轉外家)；若父母過世，何時回娘家不拘 (四與去押韻)- 註：也有地方初二回娘家
On the third or fourth day of January on Lunar Calendar, married daughters
come back home to visit parents (with the company of their brother) if they are
alive. If parents pass away, the daughters can visit their maiden homes any
time they like.
3)
先吃一塊發粿，乎您年年賺家伙 (粿與伙押韻)
On being invited to others’home for
a meal, guests start the meal by eating a piece of cake, and saying something
auspicious or wishing good luck to the host and hostess.
Eating a piece of rice
cake, we are wishing you good fortunes every year.
4)
坐乎圓圓，乎大家大賺錢 (圓與錢押韻)
Sitting around the round table, people are
sure to make a fortune.
5)
初五隔開、初六挹肥 (士農工商)
是指初五是過年活動的截止日，年假到此為止。與新年假期區隔，不再受禁忌、禮俗限制。初六挹肥意謂農民要挑水肥澆菜，恢復農事，不要再沉溺過年期間的狂歡享樂。士農工商-各就各業
The
fifth day is the end of the New Year holidays. Every walk of people begin to
work on the sixth day. Farmers will be busy spraying natural fertilizers on
fruits and vegetables. (挹音讀ark, 即施灑水肥)
