每年的儿童节都会让很多小朋友感到兴奋和激动。虽然小编已经偏离儿童节很多年了,不过每当细细想起小时候期盼儿童节到来那种无比开心的心情。儿童节对于小朋友们来说意味着很多美好的东西。例如:节目表演、有趣游戏、各种零食、精美奖品等等,现在想起来心里还是美美哒!不过呢,作为一个爱英语的人怎能错过儿童节有趣的英文表达呢?今天我们就来学习有关于儿童节英文的内容。
一、儿童节的来历 (中英互译)
The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland proclaimed June 1 to be International Children's Day in1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the International Children's Day: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year.
1925年的时候,瑞士日内瓦国际会议上将6月1日设为“国际儿童节”。为什么是6月1日这个日子呢?事实上并没有一个相对准确的答案。一种说法认为:由于1925年,位于美国旧金山的中国总领事将一群中国孤儿召集在一起庆祝端午节,而当天正好是6月1日。
The holiday is celebrated on 1 June each year. It is usually marked with speeches on children's rights and wellbeing, children TV programs, parties, various actions involving or dedicated to children, families going out, etc.
每年的6.1儿童节,会以发表关于儿童权利、福利的演说,播放儿童电视节目、举办各种派对、活动,举家出游等方式来进行庆祝。
二、儿童节的蛋糕美食
很多人都会把a piece of cake误认为一块蛋糕,其实不是这样的。它通常用在口语中,意思是:小菜一碟。和它意思相同的还有child's play, 小孩子的把戏。所以呢,可以在儿童节的活动中把这个短语用上了。例如:参加游戏获得了奖品就可以说,This game is just a piece of cake. (这个游戏真是小菜一碟)
三、儿童节的游戏
ahead of the game。这个短语表示在某种形势中占优势。ahead这个词本身就有“领先”的意思,也就是说在游戏中占了优势。例句:I need to get up early to keep ahead of the game.我要早点起床抢占先机。
四、最后给大家附上一简短的儿童节英文对话:
A: It's Children's Day today. How would you like to celebrate it, dear?
宝贝儿,今天是儿童节。你想怎么庆祝呢?
B: Hmm…I'd like to go to the amusement park.
嗯…我想去游乐园。
A: OK, no problem. Anything else?
好,没问题。还想要点儿什么?
B: I want to eat a lot of ice cream.
我还想吃好多冰淇淋。
A: Oh, that can't possibly work. You'll have a stomachache if you eat too much ice cream. But you can eat just a little more than usual.
哦,那可不行,会把肚子吃坏的。不过可以比平时多吃点儿。
B: Thank you, Mom!
谢谢妈妈!
