在1975年的3月8日，联合国开始庆祝国际妇女节。在中国，这个节日又被称之为“三八妇女节”。为什么我们要庆祝妇女节呢？这里有个故事要说： On March 8th, 1909, the Women’s Union of Chicago demonstrated against the inequality between men and women. They demanded that they should have the same payments, the same working hours as men had, and they should have the rights to vote. They even put forward a slogan: Bread and Rose, which stood for equal payment and a better living standard. This demonstrated had caused international attention to the women’s rights. A year later, a critical meeting was held in Demark, in order to promote the women’s liberation and equal rights, the council members decided to establish the Women’s Day on March 8th. Then March 8th, 1911 just became the first Women’s day.
在1090年3月8日，芝加哥妇女公会为了反对男女之间的不平等而举行了游行示威。在游行示威中，她们要求男女应该同工同酬，并拥有选举权。她们还提出了“面包和玫瑰”口号。其中，“面包”代表平等的报酬，“玫瑰”则表示更好的生活品质。一年之后，在丹麦召开了至关重要的会议，会议宣布为了促进妇女的解放运动和推进平等权利，理事会成员把每年的3月8日定为妇女节。随后，在1911年的3月8日，第一届妇女节就这样诞生了。
In our country, during the women’s day, the women usually have a day-off holiday. The communities or companies will organize the recreational activities such as a spring outing, a nice dinner and some extra welfare. On this special day, the women can really realize that a woman’s value is not only giving birth to a child, doing endless housework, but also find her own status in the modern society. That is she can make a different. She can do everything that a man can do. When you look around, you will find that more and more women are acting as scientists, doctors, lawyers, even leaders. Just try to remember, women rule half of this world. The life could quite different without their wisdom and beauty.
在我国，在妇女节这天，女人们通常不用上班。妇女所在的社区或者是公司会组织娱乐活动。比如春游、节日聚餐和发放额外的奖金。在这特别的一天里，女人会意识到：作为一个女人，不仅仅是生孩子，做家务，而是在社会中找到自己的地位。女人也可以有所作为。男人能做的事情，女人也能做。当你环顾四周，就会发现越来越多的女人从事着各类工作，如教授、医生、律师、甚至领导。要记住这一点，这个世界的一半由女人来统治。少了女人的智慧和美丽，这个世界将大有不同。
Happy International Women’s Day!
国际妇女节快乐！
