圣帕特里克节 St Patrick's Day
每年3月17日
要穿绿色衣服?
佩戴绿色或者三叶草形状装饰品?
这个很“绿”的日子
是爱尔兰的国庆节
为纪念爱尔兰的守护神圣帕特里克而设立
It happens every year at March 17th.
It is the national holiday of Ireland,
and it honors St Patrick,
the patron saint of Ireland.
圣帕特里克节有两个最典型的象征物
一个是三片叶子连为一体的三叶草
象征宗教上的三位一体
另一个是爱尔兰传说故事中的小精灵
——绿衣老矮人
圣帕特里克节的传统颜色为绿色
这一天只有身上带点绿
才能避免被小精灵恶作剧
St Patrick’s Day has
two traditional symbols.
First is a three leaf clover.
The symbol of the Holy Trinity:
The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Second is the magical creature
known as the Leprechaun.
The traditional color of St. Patrick’s Day.
You need to wear some green to
keep safe from magical creatures
looking to trick you and take your money.
每年圣帕特里克节
不止是爱尔兰,在美国、日本等国家
庆祝节日的男女老少
也都全身上下用绿色装扮
甚至把河水都染成绿色...
还要举行游行、教堂礼拜和聚餐等活动
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated every year
all over the world, not just Ireland.
Some cities in America even
dye their rivers green.

在爱尔兰风音乐中共舞
在幼儿园各个角落寻找着金币
Early in the morning the children
are dressed in green.
The got to look for gold coins

他们唱着、笑着,跳着、欢呼着
每一刻每一瞬
都让人忍不住嘴角上翘

Every moment, every moment
People can't help but
curl up the corners of their mouths.
