世界節(jié)假日博覽 第119期:世界精靈日

Of course fairies exist. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. They must exist because there is a World Fairy Day. It’s on June the 24th. This is the official day for us to celebrate the little fairies that bring some magic to our lives. We can also celebrate the big fairies too. Fairy lovers around the world renew their love of these mythical beings. There are hundreds of blogs on fairies that people can leave messages on. The official Fairy Day website says: “This holiday is for everyone who believes in the magic of fairytales. It is for those imaginative souls who dare to dream impossible dreams. It is for the children of the world, who are wide-eyed and open to the magic that surrounds them.” This day is a good day to re-live your childhood.
精靈當然存在。不要聽信別人的不存在論。世界精靈日證明它一定存在。每年的6月24日為世界精靈日。慶祝小精靈為我們的生命賦予魔幻色彩。我們還可以慶祝大精靈。全球“精迷”重溫對神秘精靈的喜愛。我們有數百篇關于精靈的博客，人們可以對此說出自己的看法。官方精靈日網站：“對于所有堅信童話魔力的“精迷”，這天是屬于你們的。奇幻精靈敢于突破禁錮，想象奇幻世界。這也是全球兒童的節(jié)日，他們睜大眼睛注視著身邊的奇幻世界。”大人們也可以重溫同年。


Fairies are mythical and legendary creatures who fill children’s story books. They are usually cute, winged, small, girl-like figures who can fly. They often help small children and can even do magic. One of the most famous fairies is Tinkerbell in J.M. Barrie’s 'Peter Pan’. Nobody knows where fairies come from. Some believe they are a forgotten race, hiding in the trees at the end of our gardens. One popular belief in Ireland, where fairies are everywhere, is that they are really dead people who have come back to Earth to protect us. Another theory is that fairies are really “fallen” angels who did not behave well enough to stay in heaven. Wherever they came from or whoever they are, make sure you are nice to them on June 24.
精靈是一種神秘而傳奇的生物，它每每出現在兒童讀物中。女孩般的模樣小巧可愛，且長著一對飛翔的翅膀。它們會幫助小朋友，甚至還會施魔法。其中最著名的要數杰·姆·巴里《彼得潘》中的奇妙仙子。無人知道奇妙仙子來自哪。有人認為他們躲在花園盡頭的樹下，該種族早已被人遺忘。在愛爾蘭有這樣一種說法，它們是回到地球保護人類的亡人，精靈無處不在。另一種說法是，精靈真的是“墜落”天使，因表現不好而無法留在天堂。不管來自哪里，也不論它們是誰，記住要在這天“善待”它們。
