节日历史
It’s difficult to say exactly when IWD (International Women's Day) began. Its roots can be traced to 1908, when 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding voting rights, better pay and shorter working hours.
很难确切说出国际妇女节是从何时开始的,它的起源可以追溯到1908年,当时15000名妇女在纽约市游行,要求投票权、加薪和缩短工时。
A year later, the first National Woman’s Day was observed in the US on February 28, in accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America.
一年后,按照美国社会党的宣言,美国人在2月28日庆祝了第一个全国妇女节。
In 1910, a woman called Clara Zetkin – leader of the ‘women’s office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany – tabled the idea of an International Women’s Day. She suggested that every country should celebrate women on one day every year to push for their demands.
1910年,德国社会民主党“女性办公室”负责人克拉拉•蔡特金提出了国际妇女节的设想。她建议全世界都应该在每年的某一天庆祝妇女节,为女性争取权益。
A conference of more than 100 women from 17 countries agreed to her suggestion and IWD was formed. In 1911, it was celebrated for the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on March 19.
来自17个国家的100多名女性开会支持她的建议,并设立了国际妇女节。1911年,奥地利、丹麦、德国和瑞士在3月19日首次庆祝这一节日。
In 1913, it was decided to transfer IWD to March 8, and it has been celebrated on that day ever since. The day was only recognized by the United Nations in 1975, but ever since it has created a theme each year for the celebration.
1913年,人们决定将国际妇女节改到3月8日,自此每年都在这一天庆祝妇女节。1975年,国际妇女节获得联合国的承认,此后每年的妇女节庆祝活动都有一个主题。
我国于1922年开始纪念三八节。中国妇女第一次群众性的纪念三八节活动是1924年在广州举行的。
妇女节的意义非凡:充满感动、欢笑与幸福。International Women's Day is a public holiday in some countries.国际妇女节在一些国家还是公共假日。
所以
Ladies,Happy Women's Day!
几首描述女人的经典诗歌

窈窕淑女,君子好逑。
—— 佚名《关雎》
By riverside a pair
Of turtledoves are cooing;
There's a good maiden fair
Whom a young man is wooing.

云想衣裳花想容, 春风拂槛露华浓。
—— 李白《清平调词》
Her robe is made of cloud,
her face of flowers made,
Caressed by vernal breeze,
freshened by morning dew.

To face the powder and not powder the face.

如何用英语赞美女性?
1、She’s gorgeous! 她真是漂亮。
学会适时地称赞女孩实在是每个男士的必修课。 “you’re pretty!”“you’re so beautiful!”这两句大家都会说。其实“gorgeous” 也有表达“美丽”的意思,程度上比 pretty 和 beautiful 还要高一些。所以下次赞美别人可以说一句“you’re gorgeous!”。
2、She turns me on. 她让我眼前一亮。
这句话就好像是说“她把你身上的电源都给打开了”,所以就感觉“眼前一亮”。 此外,“turn-on”可以作名词,表示任何令你觉得很不错的事物。所以,“she is such a turn-on.”,同样也表示“她给我的感觉还蛮不错的。”
3、Do you know her? she’s a cutie. 你认识她吗? 她好可爱喔!
一般来说,漂亮的女生叫“hottie”,指穿着打扮都非常时髦的“辣妹”, “hot babe” 和“hot chick”也有同样的意思。 相对的,可爱的女生就叫 “cutie”。“she is so cute!”也是表达可爱的句式。
4、she’s a babe. 她是个美女。
要特别注意“babe”跟“baby”虽然只有一个字母之差,意思上却相差十万八千里。“babe”指的是漂亮的人,所以,千万不要说成“oh! I like the baby.”,那很有可能会被当成恋童癖的。
5、I have a crush on ;s so attractive. 我喜欢她,她太迷人了。
“attractive”指“有魅力的,迷人的”,即“吸引人的漂亮”;这与单纯的“好看”不一样,更多了几分内在的东西,算是较高的评价。
6、She's stunning.她真的太美了。
“stunning”,“美艳至极的”,这个词表达的“漂亮”,就是在马路上一走,回头率爆表的、令人晕倒的美。
7、天姿国色
“heavenly”的意思是“天姿国色的”。值得注意的是,把天姿国色译成 “ surpassing beauty”或“Reigning beauty” 都是不正确的。例句:She is a heavenly beauty.她真是天姿国色。She is a heavenly beauty/ she is heavenly/She is heavenly beautiful), angelic, unearthly . unearthly beautiful), and goddess (as in “She is a goddess.”)此等美貌,“人间能得几回闻”?例句:Her beauty is unequaled/unmatchable/unique in all the land.
8、倾国倾城
The face that launched a thousand ships" is a reference to Helen of Troy in Homer’s Iliad. 这个用法来自荷马史诗中的海伦.In the Epic, Helen is the femme-fatale that caused the fall of Troy. (femme-fatale 致命的女人 or 红颜祸水. ) 例句:She has a face that could launch a thousand ships.她拥有倾国倾城的容颜。
9、沉鱼落雁
Drop-dead gorgeous. Drop-dead means extremely. (=You can die on the spot due to the shock of seeing such stunning beauty.) A face one could die for, stunning/stunningly beautiful. 形容女人美得要人命。
10、出水芙蓉
Venus rising from the sea.(also known as: Venus on a half shell)
女性的称呼
1.the little woman 老婆,太太,内人这个与wife同义,但在使用的时候不要漏掉定冠词the。如:I promised the little woman to be home early tonight.我答应我老婆今天晚上早回家。2.one's old lady 老娘,某人的母亲此处的old并不表示“老,年纪大”,与an old lady“老太太”不同。如:Her old lady is very young.她老娘很年轻。3.doll 美人本义“洋娃娃”。在男性使用的场合中指“美人”。例:My brother's girl friend is a doll.我弟弟的女朋友是个挺可爱的姑娘。4.a plain Jane 不起眼的女人这里的plain译为“不引人注目的,朴素的”。例:I wonder why a handsome man like Jeff married such a plain Jane.我很奇怪像Jeff这样出色的人,怎么会与一个不起眼的姑娘结婚。5.goddess 女神在现代社会,女神常用来定义男性心目中喜爱,但难以成为真正恋爱对象的女性。例:He adored her as a goddess.他把她当作女神崇拜。6.woman n.成年女子一般是用来形容成年女子,已婚妇女,也是对女性的总称,它的复数形式是women。例如:the oppression of women 对女性的压迫7、girl n.女孩girl通常用来形容比较年轻,还没有结婚的女生。例如:This school is for girls only.这个学校只招女生。8、miss /mɪs/ 小姐,女士“miss”除了我们都知道的“I miss you.”中的“想念”之外,大写首字母的Miss还有“未婚小姐”之意,通常和姓连用。例如:Miss Wang 王小姐9、Mistress /ˈmɪstrəs/ 女主人,主妇。这也是我们常见到的缩写Mrs.,一般用在已婚女性的夫姓前。例:Mrs. Smith 史密斯夫人10、lady /ˈleɪdi/ 女士,淑女lady是对于妇女的尊称,可以表示女士,夫人。例:There's a lady waiting to see you.有位女士等着要见你。这个也常常用在指上层贵族妇女。例:The lords and ladies of the court.宫廷的贵族及夫人。11、Madam / ˈmædəm/ 女士,夫人和lady一样,Madam这个称呼也是一个比较尊重的称呼,特别是对于年长的女性,这个单词经常缩写为ma’am,在看到这个词的时候可千万不要读成“妈妈”了。例:Can I help you, Madam?要帮忙吗,夫人?
