国庆节英语手抄报图片大全:国庆节英语介绍
The National Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the
nationhood of a country.Often the National Day will be a national holiday.
The National Day is often taken as the date on which a state or territory
achieved independence.Other dates such as the country's patron saint day,or a
significant historic date are sometimes used.Most countries have a single
National Day per year,though a few,for example,India and Pakistan,have more than
one.Besides that,each of the two special administrative regions of the People's
Republic of China,namely Hong Kong and Macao,celebrate the day of the
establishment of the special administrative region,as well as the National Day
of the People's Republic of China.
The importance attached to the National Day,and the degree to which it is
celebrated,vary enormously from country to country.In France,for
example,National Day is 14 July and is known as Bastille Day.It is widely
celebrated and the French Tricolour is much in evidence,while the President of
the Republic attends a military parade on the Champs-Élysées of Paris.In the
United States,the Fourth of July celebrations are widely celebrated with
fireworks and barbecues.In the Republic of Ireland,St.Patrick's Day,March 17,has
been the National Day and a Public Holiday for many years,and in recent years it
has been observed as a full Public Holiday in Northern Ireland too.However,in
the rest of the United Kingdom the constituent countries' patron saints' days
are low-key affairs.
Most countries have a fixed date National Day,but some have movable
dates.An example here is Jamaica,which celebrates its National Day on the first
Monday in August.This commemorates independence from the United Kingdom which
was attained on Monday,6 August 1962 - the first Monday in August of that
year.Another example is Thailand which celebrates the birthday of the King on 5
December.This date will change on the accession of the heir to the throne.
