English Day
周一到周日的英文单词及缩写
周一到周日的英文单词及缩写The concept of a week, as a cycle of seven days, is deeply embedded in various cultures and traditions around the world. This cycle aligns closely with the lunar month and has been recognized since ancient times. Each day of the week is named after celestial bodies or mythological figures, depending on the cultural context.In English, the days of the week are named after Norse gods and celestial bodies. The names we use today have evolved from the Old English days, which were influenced by the Romans, who named the days after their gods and the Sun and Moon.Monday, the first day of the workweek for many, derives its name from the Moon. In Old English, it was known as 'Monandæg,' which means 'Moon's day.' This is a translation of the Latin phrase 'dies Lunae,' which also references the Moon.Tuesday follows, named after the Norse god Tyr, who was the god of war and sky. It comes from 'Tiwesdæg' in Old English, which translates to 'Tyr's day.' The Romans named this day after their god of war, Mars, hence 'dies Martis.'。
西方节日英文版
Valentine's Day(情人节)(February 14)St. Valentine's Day is an informal observance (非正式的庆祝) of a lover's holiday. Today, the observance has no connection with the many legendary (传说的) St. Valentines, and holds no religious significance. The day is observed with exchanges of love notes and cards, and other tokens(标志) of affection(感情), called valentines. The symbols of the heart and Cupid(丘比特) are common in cards, decorations of store windows,candies and other paraphernalia(随身物品). Traditional valentines were frilly(装饰的) sweet, and tender(温情的) affairs made of red and white paper and lace(花边) with cutouts(剪下的图样) and cupids. The custom of sending cards, giving candy, and other such tokens has caught a great deal of commercial enthusiasm(积极性). Many stores, for instance, decorate(装饰) seasonally, or a according to calendar holidays(日历). Valentine's Day is the first excuse for splashy(显眼的) valentine theme(主题) dominates stationery(文具) stores, candy stores, confectioneries(甜食制造业), and quite often drug stores where cards and candy are sold.Easter（复活节）(The first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox(春分))Easter is important for several reasons. Primarily(主要) it is a time for families to get together much like Christmas or Thanksgiving. They usually have a large meal and serve traditional（传统的） dishes such as baked ham(火腿). In addition, there is a commercial aspect(商业特征) of Easter. It is a time when manufacturers(制造商) of candy and chocolate can sell their products. They make chocolates in the shape of eggs and rabbits since those things are associated with（与……联系） spring and Easter. Finally, Easter is a religious holiday. Many Americans go to church on that day if they are Christians to celebrate the resurrection(耶酥复活) of Christ. Symbols(象征) which we see at Easter are chicks, flowers, eggs, baskets for children to dye Easter eggs and then to hide them. Other children look for the eggs and collect them in baskets. People often get new clothes for spring for around Easter time.Doll's Day 女儿节(初)The third of March is an exciting day for little Japanese girls. They know it as Doll's Day. On that day, any household which has a daughteraged between three and seven decorates the house with traditional dolls. They represent the royal family and members of the court. They are extremely delicate and finely dressed. The dolls may have been in the family for several generations, or they may have been newly presented to the daughter of the house, usually by the grandparents. The little girls do not merely look at the dolls displayed in the house. They themselves are dressed in elaborate kimonos, again of traditional design. Then their parents accompany them to the sacred shrines. After they come back home, special rice cakes are eaten. Doll's Day in Japan is for the girls, but the boys have their own turn later. Their festival occurs on May 5th, and this time the house are decorated with armour, emphasizing a traditional male roleApril Fool's Day 愚人节 (初)April Fool's Day is the first day of April. The sport of the holiday is to play silly but harmless jokes on family members,co-workers, and friends. A victim of one of these pranks is called an April fool. If one succeeds in tricking someone, one laughs and says,`April Fool`, and then the person who has been tricked usually laughs, too. This holiday originated in France. When the French first adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1564, some people continued to use the old calendar to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1.These people were called April Fools. The custom of playing tricks on this day became popularin France and then spread to many other countries. April Fool's jokes are as ingenious, humorous, or cruel as the people who perform them. Here are some typical pranks: __Telling somebody to call the zoo and ask to speak to Mr Fox. __Putting salt in the sugar bowl. __Setting the clock back an hour. __Saying to friends, 'Oh my! You have four holesin your coat-buttonholes! __Trying a string to a wallet and leaving the wallet in the middle of the sidewalk. When someone stops to pickit up, the pranker yanks it out of reach. In the United States today, April Fool's jokes are mostly played by children, who enjoy the holiday immensely.Notes: April Fool:在愚人节受骗的人. prank：玩笑；恶作剧. Trick:计谋;欺诈. Originate:开始;源自. cruel:残忍的. ingenious:坦率的. Popular:受欢迎的. Immensely:极大的;无限的. Humorous:幽默的. .Halloween(万圣日)(October 31)This is a holiday widely celebrated with different name in many countries .Although it originated(发源) as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children's day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested(收获) at this time of year and is hollowed(挖空) out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration(装饰) in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations. Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes(戏服) and playing tricks(戏弄) on one's neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bells, throwing bits of corn(谷物) on the window panes(窗格玻璃), and in other ways making minor disturbances(小骚扰).Note: originated(发源)harvested(收获)hollowed(挖空)decoration(装饰)costumes(戏服)tricks(戏弄)corn(谷物)panes(窗格玻璃)disturbances(小骚扰)Boxing Day 节礼日(初)In the English-speaking world, the day after Christmas Day has a special name. We call it Boxing Day.This makes it sound like a day on which everyone has a fight, but the name has nothing to do with the sport of boxing. It derives from the custom in former times of presenting servants and tradesmen with a Christmas box or gift. Here in Britain we still talk about giving the milkman or newspaper-delivery boy a Christmas box, when we mean a sum of money or present. The expression dates from the time when the money would have been put into an actual box.Boxing Day in modern times is a quiet day. Most people are recovering from the large meals they ate the day before. The children have new toys to keep them happy, and the adults are content to watch them play.Perhaps it would be a good idea of Boxing Day actually was made to honor that sport. Then, on other days, we could celebrate Football Day, Cricket Day, Hockey Day, and so on. There are probably enough different sports to allow each day of the year to have one to itself.Christmas Day 圣诞节(中)Christmas is a joyful religious (宗教的) holiday when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The Christmas story comes from the Bible (圣经). An angel appeared to shepherds (牧羊人) and told them that a Savior (救世主) had been born to Mary and Joseph in a stable in Bethlehem. Three Wise Man from the East (the Magic) followed a wondrous star which led them to the baby Jesus to whom they paid homage (表示敬意) and presented gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. To people all over the world, Christmas is a season of giving and receiving presents. In Scandinavian and other European countries, Father Christmas, or Saint Nicholas, comes into houses in the night and leaves gifts for the children. Saint Nicholas is represented as a kindly man with a red cloak and long white beard. He visited houses and left gifts, bringing people happiness in the coldest months if the year. Anther character (人物) , the Norse God Odin, rode on a magical flying horse across the sky in the winter to reward people with gifts. These different legends (传说)passed the ages to make the present-day Santa Claus. Immigrant settlers brought Father Christmas to the United States. Father Christmas's name was gradually changed to Santa Claus, from the Dutch name for Father Christmas, which is Sinter Claus Although he has origins (渊源) in Norse and pre-Christian mythology (神话) , Santa Claus took shape in the United States. American gave Santa Claus a white beard, dressed him in a red suit and made him a cheery old gentleman with red cheeks and twinkle in his eye. Several American towns maintain the spirit of Santa Claus. The New England State of Connecticut has a Christmas village where "Santa" and his elves give out gifts. In New York, a small town called the North Pole was designed for Santa Claus. There is a post office, a church and a blacksmith shop, to repair the shoes of the reindeer. Santa Claus exists only in our imagination. But he, Saint Nicholas, and Father Christmas are spirits of giving, Christmas has been associated with gift giving since the Wise Men brought gifts to welcome the newborn Jesus Christ.Christmas Tree 圣诞节(中)One thing that most homes in America have at Christmas time is a Christmas tree, even in Hawaii where trees must be brought in by ship. But why a tree at Christmas? Trees have always been given a special place in the myths(神话), legends（传说）, traditions, and religious beliefs （宗教信仰）. Germany---The Christmas tree really started in Germany. Some historians think that the Christmas tree was a kind of Christian(基督教的 ) hope for spring to come soon. Why? Well, first of all, ChristmasDay comes right after the longest winter night, and people in the far north would soon expect the days to come longer. And, of course, Christ's birth was associated with （与......相联系）the bringing in new life. Second, an evergreen tree (one that stayed green all winter long) was eventually also connected by Christians with the idea of everlasting (永恒的)life, which Jesus Christ said he was bringing from God to Mankind. Paradise (天堂)tree--- In addition, Christians had for centuries honored Adam and Eve on December 24th by bringing into their house an evergreen tree the called the paradise tree. (Paradise was one name used in the Bible for the Garden of Eden(伊甸园), the home of the first human Adam and Eve.) And they decorated their Paradise Tree with red apples. (By Harvey M. Taylor, Ph.D. Special Days Special Ways, Peking University Press )NEW YEAR’S DAYS 新年(中)"Happy New year!""The same to you, and many more." The familiar greeting heard throughout the United States on January First has a counterpart in every land. The words may be different and the dates may vary, but New Year greetings everywhere express the hope for renewed life and happiness.Whether the New Year's Eve party is in a luxurious hotel ballroom or in modest home, it will be gay, noisy and glittery. The music will be loud and carefree, and there will be bright colors , festive foods, and high good spirits to make this last night of the year one of fun and frivolity. At celebrations in restaurants, clubs and shipboard salons, guests are given silly paper hats and noisemakers (n. 狂欢时时用以发出噪音的器物) and as the evening goes on no one remains a stranger. At midnight everyone joins hands and signs, "We'll take a cup of kindness yet, for Auld Lang Syne."Preparation for the party includes planning what one will wear. If it is a formal affair, men will wear tuxedos and the ladies will put on their most elegant gowns. And even small parties mean "dressing up." But if it is a masked ball（n.假面舞会）, "dressing up" takes another form. The guests vie (vi.竞争) for the most original, exotic, dignity and appealing costume. Hidden behind a mask or domino. Dignity and care are cast aside, and not until unmasking at midnight must the party-goers discard the illusion of their changed personalities.Not everyone goes to a party, but almost everyone makes an occasion of New Year's Eve. A favorite place to see the old year out is New York City 's Times Square. Thousands of New Yorkers and tourists crowd thisfamous spot (at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue) and crane their necks to watch for "Happy New Year" to flash across the electronically controlled sign tract that circles the Allied Chemical Tower. When the moment arrives bedlam（n.喧闹声） breaks forth. Bells ring, whistles blow, people cheer with unrestrained exuberance(n.充溢).This chaotic scene is repeated in public squares throughout the country, but not at the same moment. Because of the four time zones in the United States the New Year comes to the central States one hour later, to the Mountain States two hours later, and finally to the Western States three hours after the Eastern States have noisily said good bye to another year. So by following the radio and television broadcasts everyone can enjoy the festivities in other parts of the country as well as their own.Then with the arrival of the new year, thoughts turn to the future-a future viewed optimistically and hopefully. Greeting cards and spoken messages convey wishes for health, wealth and long life. A new year allows a fresh start and New Year's resolutions abound.Grown-ups and children alike enthusiastically vow（v.发誓） to get rid of their bad habits and resolve to lead better lives. Children are apt(a.易于的) to write down their resolutions with solemn ceremony:"I resolve to stop teasing my sister.""I resolve to save part of my allowance""I resolve to hang up my clothes before I go to bed."To show their seriousness they sign their names and deliver the paper to a parent for safe-keeping. Adults make equally ambitious resolutions:"I resolve to stop smoking.""I resolve to lose weight.""I resolve to learn a new language."Despite the sincerity of the resolutions, no one seems surprised that the determination to "turn over a new leaf" disappears before the new year is well started.Although New Year's traditions in the United States stem from as many cultures as do the people themselves, they have gradually assumeda typical American flavor. The giving of gifts, for instance, an important part of Roman and Old English tradition, has all but disappeared. Instead, New Year's cards are exchanged among friends and relatives, and commercial firms combine greeting with advertisement of their products by distributing calendars and small trinkets. There are, of course, notable survivals still followed in their original form. Two of the most cherished came from Scotland: toasting from the wassail bowl and the ever-popular song, "Auld Lang Syne."The custom of visiting friends, relatives and neighbors on New Year's Day is one of the Old World traditions that have taken on a new form in the United States. It is called the Open House.An open house is just what the name implies: the front door is left open, inside there is a spirit of relaxed cordiality(n.热诚), and guests are free to arrive and leave when they like. Invitations may say simply, "come drink a New Year's toast with us."New Year's dinners with traditional holiday foods and drinks are customary with many families. It is a time to cement ties of kinship and to observe both faces of January--to be grateful for the blessings of the past year while looking forward to a brighter future..Spring Festival 春节(中)China's traditional festivals have evolved （演化，发展）through the centuries from past major events. For instance, long ago when people had a bountiful harvest, they gathered and celebrated their good fortune with gala performances（盛大的演出）. When natural disasters struck, they offered sacrifices to the gods and their ancestors, hoping for a blessing （保佑）. The change of the seasons, flowers in spring, and the bright moon in autumn could all arouse their longing for a more beautiful life. Thus, creative activities were held to signify these events. Gradually these activities developed into festivals.The most important festival in China is the Spring Festival. It is said that the Spring Festival evolved from an activity known as the Winter Sacrifice（祭品）. It was a custom practiced by the people of primitive society.（原始社会）As the cold winter began to recede and the warm spring was about to begin, the people of an entire clan (家族)gathered together. They brought out their bounty from hunting, fishing and the field. They thanked the gods for the blessings of nature, including the mountains, rivers,the sun, moon and stars. They thanked their ancestors. Then they shared and enjoyed the sumptuous bounty of the land, sea, air and fields as they ate, danced and sang heartily.In the beginning, their activities had no fixed date. But usually it was held at the end of each winter. Gradually, through the years, it was celebrated at the end of the old year or the beginning of the new. With the changes and disintegration of primitive society, the form and content of the Winter Sacrifice also changed. Ultimately, it became a festival to bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new year （辞旧迎新）. So it came to be called the Spring Festival.All the traditional festivals in China are based on the Chinese lunar calendar（阴历）. The Spring Festival marks the beginning of the Chinese Lunar New Year. In Chinese, we also say Guo Nian, meaning keeping off the monster of Nian.There are many legends about the origin （起源）of Nian. The most popular one is this. It is said that Nian was a fierce monster back in ancient times. It looked like a strong bull with head like that of a lion. Usually the monster stayed deep in the mountains and caught and ate other beasts. But during the winter, it could not find enough food. So it came out of its mountain lair（兽穴） and entered villages to eat whatever it could catch. Villagers became very frightened and moved away to escape the ferocious monster. But later the people found that even though it was fierce, Nian was afraid of three things: the red color, a bright flame, and a loud noise. After learning this, they figured out how to prevent Nian from entering their villages.Just before Nian came again, every household painted their door red and burned a fire in front of their door-ways. Besides, the people did not go to bed. Instead, they stayed up all night beating on things to make a loud noise. Ever since, Nian has never again come to villages.Thus, a tradition was established and the customs have been kept through the years. Later, the people found that bamboo could make a crackling sound when burned. In time, the noise of crackling bamboo was replaced with bang of firecrackers（鞭炮）. This is how the Chinese people began to set off firecrackers for the Spring Festival. （By Dai Yirong, Excerpt of Cultural Background of China, China Radio International, World Publishing corporation.）National Holiday 感恩节(中)Thanksgiving Day is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the most traditional of American holidays. The first Thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts in 1621. After a year of great hardship, the Pilgrim (清教徒) colonists wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. They invited their Indian friends to join them in big feast. Today the holiday is still celebrated as a day for giving thanks. It is a day of family reunion and it is customary to invite friends to share the meal. In some large cities, there are carnival parades for children. In other cities, there are important football games that are played on Thanksgiving Day.In my family, we always go to my grandmother's house on Thanksgiving Day. All my aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces gather for a family homecoming. We always invite some friends to join us. Everyone is glad to see everyone else and there is a very busy exchange of gossip. The women soon disappear into the kitchen to help my grandmother prepare the dinner. The men, meanwhile, settle down to watch a football game on television or to discuss business or politics. If the weather permits, some of the more athletic men go outside to play ball with the children. At about four o'clock we all sit down to dinner. My grandfather gives thanks for the blessings we have received and then he starts to carve the turkey. We always have the traditional dinner of stuffed turkey, cranberry sauce, apple cider, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and pumpkin pie. After dinner, no one can move and we all sit around and talk, play word games, or tell jokes until it is time to go home. It is always difficult to leave because Thanksgiving Day is one of the few days of the year when the entire family gets together.Thanksgiving Day 感恩节(高)No other holiday that is today widely observed in North. America has such a long and curious history as Thanksgiving.Throughout the Bible, there are references to the Israelites setting apart days for special thanksgiving to the Lord. Such days were common in England before the reformation and afterwards figured in the lives of the Protestants. In 1872, February 27 was set aside as a day of thanksgiving for the Prince of Wales recovery from typhoid fever, for example.But these were only days of thanksgiving. The real, distinctively American Thanksgiving Day is a legacy of the Pilgrims- the English colonists, led by separatists form the Church of England- who arrived in America in December 1620 aboard the Mayflower and founded Plymouth Colony.During the winter after arriving in the New World, 47 of the 103 Mayflower passengers died, but the remainder did not lose hope. By spring, each family had a home, and all were planting grains they had brought with them and corn given them by friendly Wampanoag Indians. They were eating fish the Indians had taught them how to net, along with wild game from the woods.In gratitude for the plenteous harvest, Governor Bradford set aside December 13, 1621 (old Style calendar) for feasting and celebration.There was no specific day of thanksgiving set aside in 1622. But in 1623, Thanksgiving Day was so devoted to showing gratitude to God, rather than to social activity, that some authorities say it was the real beginning of Thanksgiving as we know it today. after the hard, severe winter of 1622-23, the Pilgrims planted seeds. Governor Bradford wrote that they hoped for a large crop, but suffered a drought from May till July.After discussing the situation with the worried colonists, Governor Bradford ordered a day of prayer and fasting, during which the Pilgrims were to humble themselves before the Lord.The crops were saved, and, after the harvest,“another solemn day was set apart for returning glory, honor and praise, with all thankfulness, to our Good God."During the following years throughout New England, there were specific days of thanksgiving-sometimes once a year, sometimes twice. Sometimes a year was skipped. The part of the day spent in religious services varied, at least partially in keeping with the colonists' and the preachers' assessment of just how much they had to be thankful for at that particular time.George Washington was inaugurated president of the United Stated on April 30, 1789, and a few months later issued his first proclamation. It had to do with Thanksgiving. In September, a few days before Congress adjourned, Rep. Elias Boudinot made a motion that the president be requested to recommend a day of prayer and thanksgiving for the many blessings of the Almighty God, and particularly for His allowing than to establish a government that would provide safety and happiness. The motion was carried, and President Washington proclaimed November 26, 1789, to be Thanksgiving Day. Washington included in his proclamation:“It is the duty of nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.The several presidents after Washington generally left to the governors of the states the decision about whether there should be a specified day for thanksgiving, and, if so, what day it should be. However, after the War of 1812, President James Madison did proclaim a special nationwide day of thanksgiving for peace.President Abraham Lincoln in the midst of the Civil War wrote the first national Thanksgiving Proclamation since George Washington's time, designating the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day.Lincoln in 1864 issued another Thanksgiving Proclamation, and most U.S. presidents who followed him did the same. In 1938, Franklin D. Roosevelt ended his Thanksgiving message with Americans, in our deepest natures, in our very souls, like all mankind, turn to God. 'In God we trust.' "In 1952, Harry S. Truman included in his proclamation, "We are grateful for the privileges and rights inherent in our way of life, and in particular for the basic freedoms, which our citizens can enjoy without fear." President Dwight Eisenhower in 1958 ended his Thanksgiving Proclamation with these words:" Let us be especially grateful for the religious heritage bequeathed us by the Pilgrims, who after gathering their first harvest set apart a special day for rendering thanks to God for the bounties vouchsafed to them.Notes: Reformation:宗教改革。

English Weekend
为了更好的为学生营造一个学习英语的氛围，创造一个良好的学习英语的语言环境，帮助学生更好地学习英语，增强学生的英语开口能力，让学员们认识更多的朋友，互相交流学习心得和考试经验，从而更好地应对英语口语考试。
目前，我们学员逐渐增多，但如何更多的培养出高分学员这个问题始终困扰着我们。
推行Engilsh Weekend 是解决这个问题的突破口之一，据此，教务部决定推行“英语圈培养”方案。
并于2014年1月1号起推行英语圈学习环境。
英语圈即在中心“圈地设圈”，整个公司分为两部分，“中文区”及“英语区”。
中文区的划分：前台大厅；英语区的划分：前台大厅之后的公司所有区域。
中文区：前台大厅，因为会有学生前来咨询，与外界的各种往来，必须用到中文。
英语区：大厅外的区域属于教学区域，老师、学生可以且应该实现全英文对话。
我们中心本是雅思、新托福的培养基地，人人学英语，人人说英语是我们的工作及学习基准。
让我们中心的每一个人都市高分学员，每一个人都说好英语是我们的终极目标。
英语圈的设立需要老师们的大力支持，需要老师在严格以身作则引领学员用英语交流。
的同时也要尽可能的鼓励学生用英文交流。
此次英语圈的设立是我们提高教学质量，营造良好的英语氛围的初步试行方法。
让学员们达到理想分数是我们每个人工作人员的责任和义务。
英语圈的设立也是我们提高朗阁声誉的一个重要方法，也是我们区别于桂林别的英语培训机构的重要特点。
英语圈的设立需要大家的极力配合和支持。
希望大家能够共同努力营造一个具有浓烈气息的英语学习环境，让学生更加相信我们的师资力量学生，对雅思高分充满信心。
