Earth Day 地球日

我们生活并依附于我们的星球，地球。但通常，人们并没有用我们应有的尊重去善待地球。地球日是个特殊的日子用来提醒我们，我们的星球是多么的重要。地球日在世界上并定为4月22日。

在地球日这天人们被提醒去享受地球的美丽并为了下一代。去保护这份美丽。第一个地球日发生在1970的美国，此后在1990年成为一个国际性的节日。

We live and depend /dɪˈpɛnd/ on our planet, Earth. Often, we don’t treat Earth with the respect /rɪˈspɛkt/ that we should. Earth Day is a special day set aside to remind us of how important our planet is. Earth Day is celebrated /ˈsɛlɪbreɪtɪdˈ/ around the world on April 22. On Earth Day, people are reminded to enjoy Earth’s beauty and to preserve /prɪˈzɜrv/ it for future /ˈfyu tʃər/ generations /ˌdʒɛn əˈreɪ ʃənz/. The first Earth Day took place in the United States in 1970, and it became an international /ˌɪn tərˈnæʃ ə nl/ event in 1990.

在地球日，人们外出欣赏大自然以庆祝节日。一些人自愿去做街区打扫。街区打扫者是一区人聚集在一起，带着垃圾袋捡起地上所有的垃圾。另一些人用其他善待自然的方式来庆祝地球日，比如建造一个鸟屋或者教会孩子如何保护环境和再循环利用。

On Earth Day, people celebrate Earth by going outside to enjoy nature. Some people volunteer to do a neighborhood clean-up /ˈklinˌʌp/. Neighborhood clean-ups are when groups of people get together with rubbish bags and pick up all the litter /ˈlɪt ər/ on the ground. Other people celebrate Earth Day by doing something nice for nature, such as building a bird house, or teaching children about conservation /ˌkɒn sərˈveɪ ʃən/ and recycling /riˈsaɪ kəlɪŋ/.
