結(jié)束了端午假期(The Dragon Boat Festival)存筏,今天就是五月份的最后一天啦∥堕唬回顧這個(gè)月椭坚,你收獲了什么呢?
明天開始,六月就拉開了序幕搏色,為何不在今天做個(gè)30天的計(jì)劃善茎,看月底可以完成啥?
最近幾天放假有些懈怠频轿,未能更文垂涯,但是玩兒得很開心烁焙,希望明天開始一個(gè)月里繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持更文和學(xué)習(xí)提升,一起加油~
明天“六一兒童節(jié)”耕赘,那么世界上的孩子是不是都在這一天過節(jié)呢骄蝇?其實(shí)不是,不同國(guó)家有著不同的日子來慶祝兒童節(jié)(Children’s Day)操骡。
我在一家外文網(wǎng)站Deccan Herald上看到了一篇文章九火,介紹不同國(guó)家的兒童節(jié)(Different countries celebrate Children's Day on different dates),分享給大家原文当娱,其中重點(diǎn)表達(dá)也列舉出來吃既,一起學(xué)習(xí)~
India, which celebrates Children's Day on November 14 to mark the birth anniversary of its first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, is among several other countries to dedicate a day exclusively for kids.
這段話說印度的兒童節(jié)設(shè)在11月14日,是為了紀(jì)念印度開國(guó)總理賈瓦哈拉爾·尼赫魯?shù)纳铡?/p>
注意句子結(jié)構(gòu),which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句称诗,主干部分是India is among several other countries杯道,而to結(jié)構(gòu)表目的。dedicate動(dòng)詞堂鲜,“貢獻(xiàn),奉獻(xiàn)”。
With an aim to celebrate the spirit of children and their talent, the United Nations General Assembly in 1954 recommended that all countries around the world should set aside a day for this purpose.
注意with an aim to 表示“為了...”散休,相當(dāng)于in order to或者for the purpose of doing,注意“聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)”的表達(dá)乐尊,另外set aside表示“留出戚丸,空出”。
Suggesting that every country should observe the day which it considers appropriate, the UN body(機(jī)構(gòu)) said, "Children's Day would be seen as a symbol of worldwide fraternity (友愛) and understanding and also be an opportunity to promote the welfare of kids".
注意這個(gè)長(zhǎng)句結(jié)構(gòu)扔嵌,前面的suggesting引出的分句是現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語限府,其中observe不是“觀察”的意思,而是表示“慶琢《校”胁勺。
Initially(最初) International Children's Day began in Turkey on June 1, 1920, and was later adopted by Geneva(日內(nèi)瓦) during 1925 World Conference. Whereas, every year November 20 is celebrated as Universal Children's Day.
土耳其最早慶祝國(guó)際兒童節(jié),時(shí)間是1920年6月1日独旷,日內(nèi)瓦其次署穗,不過每年的世界國(guó)際兒童節(jié)定在11月20日。
While, Pakistan(巴基斯坦) celebrates November 20 as Children's Day and organises special programmes dedicated to them, China marks the day on June 1 which was earlier celebrated as Dragon Boat Festival in the country.
這句話說得是巴基斯坦在11月20日慶祝兒童節(jié)嵌洼,而中國(guó)則在6月1日(端午節(jié)之后)案疲。注意while表示對(duì)比性轉(zhuǎn)折,“dedicated to them”是過去分詞作定語麻养,修飾programmes.
In Britain, August 30 has been chosen for this purpose. On the day, a two-day carnival (嘉年華) is organised in London in which all the school-going children participate.
英國(guó)的兒童節(jié)在8月30日褐啡,屆時(shí)會(huì)舉行兩天的嘉年華,上學(xué)孩子都可參加回溺;
Children's day, which is celebrated on May 5, is also known as 'Kodomo no Hi'(日語里的“兒童節(jié)”) in Japan. On the occasion, mothers prepare special dishes of rice like 'Kashiwamochi'(柏餅) for their children.
日本的兒童節(jié)在5月5日春贸,母親會(huì)為孩子準(zhǔn)備好吃的混萝。(不過據(jù)我了解,日本其實(shí)有三個(gè)兒童節(jié)萍恕,3月3日女孩節(jié)逸嘀,5月5日男孩節(jié),還有個(gè)所有孩子的三五七節(jié)允粤,簡(jiǎn)直太棒崭倘。)
接下來的幾段分別介紹了美國(guó)、澳大利亞类垫、德國(guó)司光、墨西哥和新加坡的兒童節(jié)時(shí)間,感興趣的小伙伴可以繼續(xù)閱讀~
The United States has selected first or second Sunday of the month of June to celebrate the spirit of children who are future of the nation. It also marks the whole week as the Family Week.

However in Mexico, the occasion, which is known as "El Dia Del Nino (墨西哥語中的“兒童節(jié)”), is marked on April 30. This day children go to school to attend a fiesta (圣日) and are given gifts by the school authorities. They also participate in a special parade(游行) organised for them.
