世界各地父亲节：英国父亲节.pdf

Fathers Day in UK 英国的父亲节 Fathers Day in UK is celebrated in much the same way as it is celebrated in US. In UK too, Fathers Day festival is celebrated on the third Sunday of June and therefore the date of the festival is never fixed. Peoplecelebrate the occasion by honoring their father and expressing affection for them by presenting popular gifts like cards, flowers, chocolates and neckties. Little children often give handmade gifts to their dad. 英国父亲节庆祝方式和美国很相似。英国的父亲节也在六月的第三个星期日，因此父亲节 的日期也是不固定的。人们通过向父亲表达喜爱崇敬之情以及送上时下流行的礼物庆祝这 个节日，比如明信片、花、巧克力和领带。少部分孩子喜欢送自制的心意之作给父亲。 Several clubs, schools and cultural societies in United Kingdom organize Father’s Day parties and get-togethers and provide people an opportunity to celebrate the day. Games and fun-filled add joy to such celebrations. 英国的一些俱乐部、学校和文化社团组织父亲节聚会给大家提供机会庆祝。游戏给这些庆 典增添了很多乐趣。 It may also be noted that Fathers Day festival has been co ercialized in England to a great extent. Days before the festival marketers launch an aggressive advertising campaign to lure people and cash in on the sentimental value of the occasion. 还有一点值得一提的是，英国的父亲节在某种程度上已经被商业化。在节日的前几天各大 商场就开始打亲情牌大肆宣传以吸引人们消费购买。 Though critics are very much against rude co ercialization many people feel that marketing of the festival helps to create awareness about the day and therefore strengthen the bond of love shared between father and a child. 虽说批评家们非常反对这种低端的商业化，但是很多人觉得节日的商业化让更多人知晓这 一天的重要性并能拉近父子间的距离，加强亲情纽带。 —————————————————————————————————— 精彩推荐： 企业英语
