又是一年一度的端午节,记得前些年,祝福语都是“端午节快乐”,后来被一个朋友提醒,应该说“端午节安康”,我留意了一下,果不其然,大家的祝福语都变成了“端午安康”! 有的人认为,端午节是为了纪念为国殉身的屈原,说“快乐”不太合适,应该说“端午安康”。- Wish you safe and sound on Dragon Boat day.
- Wish you a good health in Dragon Boat Festival.
有专家提出不同的意见,“端午”不过是个节令,划龙舟、吃粽子的习俗出现时间都比屈原早,说“快乐”也没错~端午节怎么说? Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
