五月第一个重大节日就是我们的“五一劳动节”了。我们对劳动节最直接的印象应该就是放假，那你知道劳动节英文怎么说吗？你了解劳动节是怎么来的吗？今天，跟着给力英语老师一起学习一下吧！

“五一劳动节”劳动节的英语表达方式包括：’ Day, ' Day、 Day或是May Day。对后面两个的说法，有人意见不一。

Labor Day？

事实上，"Labor Day"容易引起混淆，特别对美国来说，Labor Day是美国的劳工节，而且也不是每年的五月一号，而是九月的第一个星期一。

On the first in , take the day off to Labor Day and on the 's to their .

在9月的第一个星期一，人们用这一天来庆祝劳动节，并反思美国工人对国家的贡献。

May Day？

而“May Day”也有点不妥，因为资本主义国家不庆祝"五一劳动节"的。

May Day，还有另一层含义。在很多文化中，尤其是北半球，当然主要是很多欧洲国家，包括英国，德国，意大利，希腊等等，May Day是一个传统的节日，大家欢庆春天的到来。在这一天，人们会唱歌，跳舞，吃美食，例如图中的 Dance，五月柱舞。
