你知道嗎?今天,5月8日,除了是母親節(jié)之外,還是一個特殊的節(jié)日,那就是世界微笑日。
它的英文表達是:World Smile Day。
有一種說法是,5月8日是國際紅十字會創(chuàng)始人亨利·杜南的生日,所以,從1948年開始,國際紅十字會規(guī)定將這一點定為世界紅十字日,也即“世界微笑日”。
所以各位童鞋們,今天一定要獎勵自己一個大大的微笑哦!
不過,有一個問題來了,是不是很多人看到“笑”這個詞,第一反應出來的英文都是smile?
其實,smile是一個概括性的表述(general term),可以表達各種心情愉悅的笑容。注意,它只表達面部表情(facial expression),不包括笑聲(vocal expression)。
那么,你知道大笑,偷笑,假笑,傻笑,咯咯笑等各種笑的英文表達嗎?趁著這個世界微笑日,我們一起來學習一下。
