　　讲解

　　TODAY’s key word is National day
　　National day 国庆节
　　The National Day is a designated(特定的) date on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a nation。
　　Here is an example:
　　Several new movies will be performed on National Day.
　　国庆节期间将有几部新电影上映。
　　这期节目我们就来看看各个国家的national day.
　　首先，必须先来说一下我天朝的国庆节。（Soundbites）
　　National Day of China
　　The National Day of the People's Republic of China is a public holiday and is celebrated 1 annually 2 on October 1.
　　说到国庆节，估计大部分人的第一反应就是放假，7天假期。
　　Talking about national day, where is this phrase originally come from?
　　在很久很久以前，古代中国人把皇帝即位、诞辰称为“国庆”。“国庆”一词，本指国家喜庆之事，最早见于西晋。到了今天，我们一般称国家建立的纪念日为国庆节。然而，并不是每个国家都有国庆节。
　　比如说，英国。
　　Currently the UK has no single official national day, although the Queen's Official Birthday is used for this purpose in some contexts.
　　大不列颠每年有很多节日，但并没有像我们一样的正式的国庆节。所以，女皇的生日有时候就会被当做国庆节来庆祝了。
　　By the way, the present queen, Elizabeth II, has became the longest-reigning British monarch 3 (君王) on 9 September 2015. She also the nation's oldest ever monarch, officially surpassed(超过) the 63 years, 7 months, 2 days, 16 hours and 23 minutes that her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria spent on the throne.
　　63年7个月2天16个小时23分钟，英国人民为了统计个时间也是蛮拼的。
　　再来说说美国，他们的国庆节叫做Independence Day, also referred to as Fourth of July。独立日。日期每年7月4日，以纪念1776年7月4日大陆会议在费城正式通过《独立宣言》。
　　Some celebrities(名人) in the United States has read the Declaration of Independence years ago.
　　Let’s listen it together.
　　“All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving 4 their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government”
　　In the world, almost every country has the national day.
　　一个国家的建立常常是经历了很多的磨砺和考验，中国也不例外。
　　A lot of people have sacrificed their lives for the country. Your great great grandpa or grandpa may be one of those heroes. So during this National day holiday in China, it is nice to spend several minutes to think about the reason why are we celebrating this holiday.
　　Then enjoy the holidays！
