Children's Day on April 4 will be reinstated as a national holiday in 2011, if a related provision is approved by the Legislative Yuan. 如果立法院通過相關規定, 4月4日兒童節將在2011年恢復為國定假日。
Taiwan currently observes Women and Children's Day on April 4, but it is not a national holiday. 台灣目前4月4日訂為婦幼節,但不是國定假日。
As to whether to have an extra holiday if Children's Day were to fall on a Saturday or Sunday, the minister said the overall number of holidays in a year should be taken into consideration in deciding on a make-up holiday. 至於兒童節若遇週末是否補假?部長說,要考慮一年內總放假日數,才能決定是否補假。
l reinstate 使(法律、規定等)恢復有效……
那麼把某一天「訂為」國定假日怎麼說?
In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln set aside the last Thursday of November as a national Day of Thanksgiving.In 1941, the U.S.A. Congress permanently established the fourth Thursday of November as a national holiday.
l observe 奉行;慶祝(現在 4/4 是「過」婦幼節,不是兒童節。兒童節和婦女節在我國直到 1993年還是分開的國定假日)
l an extra/make-up holiday 補假
其他說法:
The Government personnel officials put their heads together and finally decided to extend the Moon Festival holiday to the following Monday. 政府的人事官員們商議後終於決定中秋節次日補假一天
