  国家和民族的希望在青年一代身上。如果一个民族没有奋发有为的青年,那就没有未来;如果一个民族没有诚实、正直、果断、善良和勇敢的品格,那么它将无法屹立于世界民族之林。
  ——温总理
  据新华社电 “五四”青年节前夕,中共中央政治局常委、国务院总理温家宝昨天同20位来自首都各界的青年代表在中南海座谈,共话青年成才之路。
  温家宝十分关心青年人的成长。自担任国务院总理以来,每年“五四”青年节他都要抽时间看望青年,鼓励广大青年健康成长,为祖国发展作贡献。
  这次应邀到中南海的青年代表,既有首都高校大学生,也有青年作家、社区医生、游泳运动员、新闻记者和科研人员,还有文艺工作者、公交司机、交通警察、小学教师、农民工、超市收银员等。
  小编:今天翻翻日历,才知道原来青年节到了。每年的的青年节,我们似乎一直沉浸在劳动节的话题中,很容易就把这个属于我们青年的节日给遗忘了。在这里,小编祝14至28岁的青年朋友们青年节快乐,天天快乐!今天,我们一起来看看“青年节”用英文是怎么说的。
  首先,看一下中国日报的相关新闻报道:
  BEIJING - Premier Wen Jiabao on Tuesday urged Chinese youths to work hard and be persistent in achieving their goals while he spent more than two hours chatting with young people on the eve of China's Youth Day.
  在报道中,China's Youth Day就是“中国青年节”,而on the eve of Youth Day就是“在青年节前夕”的意思。 青年节为了纪念1919年以反对帝国主义(imperialism),弘扬民主(democracy)与科学(science) 为目的的五四运动(May Fourth Movement)而设立的。中国共产党领导下的先进青年组织是中国共产主义青年团(China Communist Youth League),简称共青团。
  youth有“青年人,年轻人”的意思。而婴儿是infant,儿童是children,少年是early youth,中年是the middle-aged,而老年人则是the old。
  青年节的由来:
  第一次世界大战结束以后,战胜国在法国召开巴黎和会,中国代表提出废除外国在中国的特权和取消“二十一条”,收回大战时日本夺去的德国在山东的各种特权,遭到无理拒绝。
  消息传来,激起中国人民的强烈义愤。一九一九年五月四日,北京大学等十几所大专学校的学生三千多人,在天安门前集合,举行示威游行。他们高呼“外争国权,内惩国贼”、“废除二十一条”、“拒绝在和约上签字”等口号,一致要求惩办北洋军阀政府三个亲日派卖国贼:曹汝霖、章宗祥、陆宗舆。游行队伍前往赵家楼的曹汝霖住宅,学生寻不见曹汝霖,就火烧了曹宅。北洋军阀政府出动大批军警镇压,逮捕了许多学生。
  第二天,北京学生宣布罢课,各地学生纷纷响应。六月初,上海六七万工人为声援学生举行罢工。各地工人及许多城市的商人也相继罢工、罢市。这样,运动的中心由北京转移到了上海。
  在这种形势下,北洋军阀政府被迫释放捕去的学生,罢免曹汝霖、章宗祥、陆宗舆的职务。出席巴黎和会的中国政府代表,也没有在“和约”上签字。五四爱国运动取得了初步胜利。
  五四运动的伟大功绩在于“启导广大人民的觉悟,准备革命力量的团结”。五四运动标志着中国新民主主义革命的伟大开端。它是中国近代史上具有划时代意义的事件。
  为了继承和发扬五四运动以来中国青年光荣的革命传统,一九三九年陕甘宁边区西北青年校园联合会,规定每年五月四日为中国青年节。
  一九四九年十二月,中央人民政府政务院正式宣布五月四日为中国青年节。
  Chinese Youth Day, held on the 4th of May each year, commemorates the May 4th Movement of 1919, a patriotic and anti-imperialist movement.
  In 1919, a peace conference was held in Paris; representatives of the Chinese government were there to demand that imperial countries should let go of their privileges in China, as well as cancelling Japan’s 21 Items, Germany should return sovereignty of Shandong to China, etc. These demands were not met and indeed Germany’s privileges in Shandong were passed not back to China but to Japan, making the population of China angry when they heard the news. On the 4th of May, there was a vast parade held in Tiananmen Square by around 3,000 students – this was China’s first ever student protest. They presented a petition to the state president, but the warlord government suppressed it which angered people even more. Businessmen, students and workers called a strike, the students’ parade eventually forming into a national patriotic movement.
  The warlord government was forced to compromise on the 10th of June and, on the 28th of June, Chinese representatives refused to sign the Paris Peace Treaty. The news shocked the imperialist countries and so far, what was proposed has mostly been achieved.
  The 4th of May was a landmark event that fuelled a new cultural movement which values democracy and science above feudalism. The modern Chinese language, science and democracy have been advocated since.
  Everyone over the age of 14 on this day has a half-day holiday to mark the occasion.
