Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

The largest Groundhog Day celebration is in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The mascot of this celebration is a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil. Every year on February 2nd people watch Phil come out of his burrow. If it is sunny he will see his shadow and go back into his burrow. This means that there will be six more weeks of winter. But if it is cloudy and he stays outside, there will be an early spring.

一番大きいグラウンドホッグの日の祭りはペンシルヴェニア州のパンクスターウニ市にあります。この祭りのマスコットは「パンクスターウニ・フィール」というグラウンドホッグです。毎年、2月2日にアメリカ人はフィールが巣穴から出るのが見ます。晴だったら、フィールは自分の影法師を見て、巣穴にもう一度入ります。これの意味は冬がもう六週間続きます。でも、曇りだったら、巣穴に戻らないので、春が早く来るという意味があります。
