   五一劳动节快乐!希望你今天不需要劳动,可以睡个懒觉、听听节目、学点英语。今天Jenny和Adam就要告诉你英语里超有趣的“劳动”说法。


  关键词:
  “劳动”英语怎么说?
  Labor 1: 劳动
  Labor Day:劳动节
  5月1日是国际劳动节,不过北美的劳动节在9月的第一个周一:
  May 1st is the International Workers' Day.
  American and Canadian Labor Day is the first Monday of every September.
  Labor和Labour
  美式英语和英式英语的“劳动”拼法不一样:
  美国:Labor
  英联邦:Labour
  英式拼法多了一个u,不过发音一样, 都是['leb?]
  "劳动最光荣" 英语怎么说?
  Labor is the most glorious.
  Glorious: 光荣的
  '劳动'用英语怎么说?
  "Labor"用法真是多!
  做动词:
  To labor at something:辛勤劳作
  用labor做动词有一种非常劳累、辛苦的感觉。
  I'm laboring 2 away at work. 工作累成狗。
  The work is very taxing. 工作非常累人、把我都榨干了。
  做名词:
  Labor Day:劳动节
  Labor Party: 劳动党
  Manual/physical labor: 体力劳动
  Intellectual labor: 脑力劳动(不是brain labor)

  Labor relations: 劳工关系
  不过,“劳动人民”不是labor people
  而是working class
  Labor 也是“生孩子”!
  “生产”在汉语里有“生孩子”的意思,而“labor”在英语里也一样!
  She is in labor:她正在生产。
  How was the labor? 生产顺不顺利?
  Early labor: 早产
  “Labor”的俗语
  还有两个和labor相关的俗语也很实用!
