International Women's Day 国际妇女节

International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 every year.

每年3月8日是国际妇女节。

It commemorates the movement for women's rights.

它纪念妇女权利运动。

The first observance of a Women's Day was held on February 28, 1909 in New York.

1909年2月28日在纽约举行了第一次妇女节纪念活动。

March 8 was suggested by the 1910 International Woman's Conference to become an "International Women's Day".

1910年国际妇女会议建议将3月8日定为“国际妇女节”。

After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there.

1917年女性在苏联俄罗斯取得选举权后,3月8日便成为法定假日。

On March 8 this day was then predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries.

3月8日这一天当时主要由社会主义运动和共产主义国家庆祝。

It was until 1975 then adopted by the United Nations.

直到1975年才被联合国采纳。


In China, "International Women's Day" is also called "3 8 (san-ba) Women's Day".

在中国“国际妇女节”也称“三八妇女节”。

Unfortunately, there is derogatory term when 3 and 8 are put together.

不巧的是三和八放一起时会有贬义词。

3 8 (san-ba) has the same meaning as meddling woman or busybody, refers to nosy person.

三八又有同八婆、鸡婆一样的意思,指一个人很多管闲事。

It is not specially used on women but sometimes also on men.

不针对用于女性,有时候也可以针对男性。

The "three" in 3 8 (san-ba) is not a numeral, it means multiple and "eight" means talking.

三八里的“三”并不是数词,它表示的是多次的意思,"八"的意思是说话。

3 8 (san-ba) was originally used to describe people's long-winded.

三八最初是用来形容人的啰嗦。

As women are more long-winded, so later, 3 8 (san-ba) refers to the woman's habit.

由于女人多罗嗦,所以后来,三八多指女人的习惯。
