五一劳动节的由来英文版

1、英文：May 1st International Labor Day originated from the strike of workerscongresses in Chicago, USA. On May 1, 1886, more than 216,000 workers in Chicago went on a general strike for the eight-hour work system. After a painstaking and bloody struggle, they finally won. In commemoration of this great workersmovement, the Second International announced in July 1889 that May 1 will be designated as International Labor Day every year.

In September 1999, the State Council reformed and promulgated a new statutory vacation system. Every year, the National Day, Spring Festival and May Day statutory holidays are added with reverse vacation, and the national vacation lasts for 7 days. Since then, the tourism consumption fever triggered by the three Golden Weeks has become a new bright spot in Chinas economic life, and the holiday economy has become a new topic that people enjoy talking about.

The significance of International Labor Day lies in the fact that the laborers have won their legitimate rights and interests through struggle and with indomitable and heroic spirit of struggle. This is the historical progress of human civilization and democracy. This is the essence of May Day. So people pay so much attention to Labor Day.

2、中文翻译：五一国际劳动节源于美国芝加哥城的工人大罢工。1886年5月1日，芝加哥的二十一万六千余名工人为争取实行八小时工作制而举行大罢工，经过艰苦的流血斗争，终于获得了胜利。为纪念这次伟大的工人运动，1889年7月第二国际宣布将每年的五月一日定为国际劳动节。

1999年9月，国务院改革chu7台新的法定休假制度，每年国庆节、春节和“五一”法定节日加上倒休，全国放假7天。从此，3个“黄金周”掀起的旅游消费热成为我国经济生活的新亮点，假日经济成为人们津津乐道的新话题。

国际劳动节的意义在于劳动者通过斗争，用顽强、英勇不屈的奋斗精神，争取到了自己的合法权益，是人类文明民主的历史性进步，这才是五一劳动节的精髓所在。所以，人们才这么注重劳动节。
