日曆上真的會移動的那一天
字面的一層,也是畫面的出處:日期是算出來的,不是印好的。
noun · C1
A religious festival, such as Easter, whose date is worked out by a set of rules rather than fixed on the calendar, so it falls on a different day each year.
日期不固定的節日
Think of a calendar with most of its holidays nailed down — the same square every year — and one that refuses to stay still. Its day is not written on the calendar at all; it is worked out from a rule, so each year it lands somewhere new and you have to look it up again. That one loose day is the picture. Both uses on this page are that day: first the real festival, then anything else in life whose time will not sit still, so you check again every week to find out when it is.
