漢英對照/國慶節

國慶節是人們每年慶祝國家的特殊日子。大多數國家都有國慶節，通常是國定假日，人們不去上班或上學。在許多曾經是殖民地的國家，國慶節被稱為獨立日，因為它紀念他們擺脫舊帝國的那一天。在其他國家，如中國，國慶節紀念該國舊政府何時改為新政府。在過去，國王或皇帝的生日常常被視為國慶日。

National Day is a special day for people to celebrate their country every year. Most countries have National Days, usually national holidays, and people do not go to work or school. In many countries that used to be colonies, National Day is called Independence Day because it commemorates the day they got rid of the old empire. In other countries, such as China, the National Day commemorates when the old government of the country was changed to a new government. In the past, the birthday of a king or emperor was often seen as the National Day.
