今天是第30个教师节,首先祝所有的人民教师节日快乐!尤其是要祝英语答疑网的专家老师们节日快乐,身体健康,工作顺利!
关于“教师节”的翻译我有一点小疑问:就是 teacher 是用单数还是用复数,是说 Teacher’s Day,还是 Teachers’ Day。我见到的用复数 Teachers’ Day 的比较多,但在网上也查到了用单数 Teacher’s Day 的。请专家老师给指点一下,谢谢!
在China Daily(中国日报)上,Teachers’Day 和 Teacher’s Day 两种用法都有:
1. Students sing and dance to celebrate Teacher's Day. (2014-09-11)
2. The Nantong Economic and Technological Development Area (NETDA) of Jiangsu province held a seminar to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Teachers’ Day on Sept 10. (2014-09-15)
3. Sept 10 is Teacher's Day, a day designated to appreciate teachers and their contributions in educating the world. (2014-09-10)
4. President Xi Jinping on Tuesday, the eve of Teacher’s Day in China, emphasized the importance of keeping Chinese classic poems and essays in high school textbooks. (2014-09-10)
