植树节的英语怎么表达?

Tree-Planting Day

Arbor Day（正式）

不少同学的印象中，植树节的英文是Tree Planting Day，国内学校也是这样教的。不过老外（特别是美国人或澳洲人）并不这样表达，而是用Arbor Day。

Arbor Day

arbor

美 /'ɑrbɚ/ 英 /'ɑːbə/

这个词来自拉丁语，本是“树”（tree）的意思。

“植树节”较为通用的英文表达：Arbor Day。arbor名词，意为“ 乔木；凉亭；藤架”。也可以用Tree Planting Day来表达“植树节”

例：Our thought on Arbor Day should be an expression of enduring feeling, thought and action and not just one single, isolated flame of interest.

我们在植树节的思想应该是一种持久的感觉，思想和行动的表达，而不仅仅是一个单一的，孤立的火焰。

Tree Planting Day

我们比较熟悉的翻译则是Tree Planting Day

例：In China, Tree Planting Day is on March 12th. This special day began in 1979. On that day, people can plant many trees. And if we plant many trees, we must also take care of the trees by watering them，until they grow up to be strong.

在中国，植树节在03月12日。这特殊日子在1979年开始。在那一天，人们要种许多的树。如果我们种了许多的树木，我们必须照顾好它们，并按时浇水，直到它们茁壮成长。

植树节在每年的3月12号，恰是惊蛰之后，春分之前。有句谚语说得好：“伏天栽树株株死，惊蛰春分株株生。” 这天正是植树的好日子。

植树节与孙中山先生有关？

First created by the US agriculturist Sterling Morton in 1872, Tree Planting Day was set in order to inspire people’s passions for planting and protecting trees, and to protect and improve the natural environment on which people depend for their living.

植树节是由美国农学家斯特林·莫顿于1872年首创，旨在激发人们植树护林的热情，保护和改善人类赖以生存的自然环境。agriculturist [ˌægrɪ'kʌltʃərɪst] n [C] 农学家passion [ˈpæʃn] n [C] 热爱

中国的植树节与孙中山有关

China’s Tree Planting Day could date back to a proposal made by Sun Yat-sen in 1915. At first, Tomb-sweeping Festival (April 5th) was adopted as Tree Planting Day. However, April 5th was a late time for tree-planting in Southern China and so it was changed to March 12th by the Nanjing National Government in order to memorize Sun Yat-sen, who passed away on March 12th. In February 1979, the 5th National People’s Congress of People’s Republic of China made a resolution that March 12th would be taken as Chinese Tree Planting Day, requiring the whole country to carry out tree-planting activities on this day and support the construction of forestry.中国的植树节可以追溯到孙中山1915年的一项提议。最初，清明节（4月5日）被定为植树节。可是在中国南方，4月5日才植树有点晚，因此南京国民政府将日期改为了3月12日来纪念孙中山，他是在这个日子去世的。1979年2月，中华人民共和国第五届全国人民代表大会通过表决，将3月12日定为中国植树节，要求全国在这一天开展植树造林活动，支持林业建设。date back to 追溯到proposal [prəˈpəʊzl] n [C] 建议；提议Tomb-sweeping Festival 清明节adopt [əˈdɒpt] vt 采取；采用memorize [ˈmeməraɪz] vt 记住；熟记pass away 过世；离世resolution [ˌrezəˈluːʃn] n [C] 决议carry out 实行；执行forestry [ˈfɒrɪstri] n [U] 林业So, every year, when March 12th is approaching, country leaders, civil servants, company employees, and even school pupils go outdoors to fulfill a citizen’s obligation of planting trees. Benefiting from the Tree Planting Festival, more and more Chinese people realize the urgency and importance of protecting the environment. It is estimated that nearly 80 billion trees had been planted all over China in tree-planting campaigns during the past years.因此，每年3月12日临近时，国家领导人、公务员、企业员工，甚至学校学生都要到户外去履行公民的植树义务。得益于植树节，越来越多的中国人意识到保护环境的紧迫性和重要性。据估算，在过去这些年中，已有近800亿棵树在全国各地的植树运动中得到种植。fulfill [fʊl'fɪl] vt 实现obligation [ˌɒblɪˈɡeɪʃn] n [C] & [U] 职责；义务In 2019, a NASA satellite map with dark and light green colors impressed the world that China is leading the increase in greening on Earth’s land area due to national tree-planting programs. At the time, many got interested to know why Chinese people are so keen on planting trees.2019年，美国宇航局一幅深绿和浅绿色的卫星地图给世界留下了深刻的印象，由于全国性的植树计划，中国正在引领地球土地绿化面积的增长。当时，许多人都很想知道中国人为何如此热衷于植树。due to 由于be keen on 热衷于In fact, although China covers an area of about 9.6 million square kilometers, nearly half of the land is desert and sandy soil, way bigger than China’s arable land.事实上，尽管中国占地约960万平方公里，但将近一半的土地是沙漠和沙土，远远超过中国的耕地面积。in fact 事实上arable [ˈærəbl] adj 适于耕种的；耕作的；可耕的China’s quick development in recent decades has made people forget that China is not a fertile place with abundant natural resources, but a place with disproportionate population and land.中国近几十年的快速发展，让人们忘记了中国并不是一个自然资源丰富的肥沃之地，而是一个人口和土地不成比例之地。fertile [ˈfɜːtaɪl] adj 肥沃的abundant [əˈbʌndənt] adj 充裕的；丰富的disproportionate [ˌdɪsprəˈpɔːʃənət] adj 不成比例的；不均衡的With the explosive growth of population after 1949, arable lands were overly exploited, coupled with unsustainable timber extraction activities.

They often take the planting as a nice short tour back to nature with their family members. After their fieldwork together, they not only harvest a greener environment but also more harmonious family relations with their beloveds as well as more enthusiasm for the future.对于那些生活在大城市的人来说，植树节是逃离城市的好时机。他们常常把植树看作是与家人回归自然的美好短程旅途。在田野劳作之后，他们不仅收获了更葱翠的环境，也收获了与心爱之人更和谐的家庭关系，以及对未来更大的热忱。

harmonious [hɑːˈməʊniəs] adj 和谐的；和睦的
