国际拥抱日起源于1986年的1月21日。这一节日是由美国名人凯文·萨伯尼发起的，其目的是要促进拥抱所带来的精神益处。这一节日跨越了美国国界，如今，澳大利亚。加拿大、英格兰、德国以及俄罗斯也开始庆祝这一节日。国际拥抱日似乎还要更进一步，在世界上的其他国家继续蔓延。在美国，这一节日在学校、护理领域以及医院影响甚广。让别人知道你对他人的感情，让他人了解到你对他人的关怀，这是多么好的方法。国际拥抱日，继续加油，给每个人一个大大的拥抱，让他们感到幸福。给你一句忠告，抱之前要问一下！
There is a lot of research that shows hugging is good for us. Dr. Jay Gordon wrote a book called ‘Brighter Baby’, which said hugging a child every day is more likely to make him or her more intelligent. Unlike kissing, hugging is acceptable in most societies. It can be a form of greeting between friends, a way of celebrating a victory, or a way of showing your support for someone. It doesn’t matter what age, race, sexor religion you are; hugs can take place between any two people. Hugging also takes place in the animal world. Monkeys and apes are very fond of a hug to show their friendship. We even see the Teletubbies TV characters showing off their hugging skills as they give each other a “big hug”.
