The International Labor Day is called May Day for short, which is on May 1st every year.
May 1st is a statutory holiday in China. Prior to 2008, it was a three-day holiday, but is now just the one day. However, it is usually supplemented by two other days to form a three-day holiday by working either the preceding or following weekend.
During the holiday, people not only liberate themselves from their daily work routines, but also enjoy themselves by traveling and shopping.
五一國際勞動(dòng)節(jié)簡稱五一節(jié),在每年的5月1日。
五一勞動(dòng)節(jié)是中國的法定節(jié)假日。在2008年之前,五一勞動(dòng)節(jié)曾有三天法定假期,而現(xiàn)在則只有一天假,但這一天假通常會(huì)通過調(diào)休在前后補(bǔ)上兩天,形成三天的假期。
節(jié)假期間,人們不僅可以從繁重的日常工作中解脫出來,還可以通過旅游和購物,享受幸福時(shí)光。
【講解】
文中的May Day就是“五一節(jié)”的意思,也被稱為“國際工人節(jié)”(International Worker's Day),勞動(dòng)節(jié)其實(shí)是起源于美國芝加哥的一次大罷工(strike),不過現(xiàn)在,中國的勞動(dòng)節(jié)已發(fā)展成放松(relaxation)和消費(fèi)(consumption)的節(jié)日。需要注意的是,美國的labor day是在九月份。
文中的statutory是形容詞,意為“法定的;法令的”,如:statutory guardian(法定監(jiān)護(hù)人),statutory agent(法定代理人)。
