世界節(jié)假日博覽 第7期:國際擁抱日

　　National Hugging Day started on January 21, 1986. The Reverend Kevin Zaborney from the USA created the dayto promote the emotional benefits of hugging. This celebration has moved beyond America’s borders and people now celebrate the benefits of a hug in Australia, Canada, England, Germany and Russia. It seems the day might catch on and start in other world countries. In America, National Hugging Day is big in schools, nursing care facilities and hospitals. It is a wonderful way of letting people know how you feel about themand of showing you care. So, go on… this National Hugging Day give everyone a big hug and make them feel good. A word of advice – ask before you hug!
　　國際擁抱日始于1986年的1月21日。美國的凱文·薩伯尼發(fā)起了這一節(jié)日，想要通過增加人們擁抱的次數(shù)，帶給人們更多精神方面的好處。這一節(jié)日跨越了美國國界，如今，澳大利亞。加拿大、英格蘭、德國以及俄羅斯也開始慶祝這一節(jié)日。國際擁抱日似乎還要繼續(xù)傳播到世界各國。在美國，這一節(jié)日在學校、護理領域以及醫(yī)院影響甚廣。告訴別人你對他們的感覺是一件多么美好的事情。國際擁抱日一直進行下去，給每個人一個大大的擁抱，讓他們感到幸福。給你一個建議，抱之前要問問他們想不想來一個擁抱!
　　There is a lot of research that shows hugging is good for us. Dr. Jay Gordon wrote a book called ‘Brighter Baby’, which said hugging a child every day is more likely to make him or her more intelligent. Unlike kissing, hugging is acceptable1 in most societies. It can be a form of greeting between friends, a way of celebrating a victory, or a way of showing your support for someone. It doesn’t matter what age, race, sexor religion you are; hugs can take place between any two people. Hugging also takes place in the animal world. Monkeys and apes are very fond of a hug to show their friendship. We even see the Teletubbies TV characters showing off their hugging skills as they give each other a “big hug”.
　　許多研究表明擁抱對人有好處。杰·戈登醫(yī)生曾經(jīng)寫過一本書，叫作《陽光寶貝》，書中提到每天與孩子擁抱，可以讓孩子變得更加聰明。不像親吻，絕大部分文化都接受擁抱。擁抱可以是朋友之間的問候，一種慶祝勝利的方式，或者是展現(xiàn)你對他人的支持。擁抱不分年齡、種族、性別、宗教;任意兩個人都可以擁抱。動物世界中也有擁抱。猴子和猿就非常喜歡用擁抱來表達友情。甚至在電視劇《天線寶寶》中都能看到他們擁有擁抱的能力。
