世界節(jié)假日博覽 第97期:國際家庭日

The International Day of the Family is held on May 15 every year. This day celebrates families around the world and highlights their importance. It aims to strengthen the family unit by making family members aware of their responsibilities. The day hopes to raise awareness of equality within families and of sharing domestic duties. It also focuses on how families should encourage employment for all. The day was created by the United Nations General Assembly to support families and encourage them to contribute towards society. There is a different theme each year. In 1996, it was “Families: First Victims of Poverty and Homelessness”. Themes since then have focused on families and education, human rights, development, and disabilities.
每年的5月15日是國際家庭日。慶祝全球家庭，提高家庭重視程度。增強責任意識，加強家庭凝聚力。提高家庭平等意識，共擔家庭義務(wù)。鼓勵所有家庭成員勞動。國際家庭日由聯(lián)合國大會創(chuàng)建，旨在支持家庭，貢獻社會。每年主題各有不同。1996年的主題為：“家庭：貧窮和露宿者的頭號受害者”。自此，話題開始向家庭、教育、人權(quán)、發(fā)展以及殘疾人方向側(cè)重。


The family is the most important unit of society. It is a group of people who share many things in common. These things include a residence and economic cooperation. A family also has one or more children. Some experts say the main function of the family is to continue the human race. Parents usually start a family because of their desire for children and to be happy. Every country has its own culture or cultures. Every culture has a different understanding of what family is. The way people look at families is changing as the world changes. Centuries ago, the extended family was the norm all across the world. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins all lived together. Today, the nuclear family is becoming more common.
家庭是組建社會的最重要單位。家庭成員間共同分享。包括住房，資金。還會養(yǎng)育一個或多名孩子。有專家指出，家庭的主要作用是繁衍生息。通常，組建家庭是為了養(yǎng)育后代，尋求幸?？鞓贰２煌瑖业奈幕曀赘鞑煌?。對于不同文化，對家庭的理解也就各不相同。隨著時代發(fā)展，人們對于家庭的看法也發(fā)生了改變。數(shù)百年前，大家庭已經(jīng)成為一種常態(tài)。祖父母、叔叔阿姨、堂兄堂弟生活在一起。如今，兩代人家庭更為常見。
