National Siblings Day (NSD) is celebrated on April 10 each year in the USA. It is the brainchild of Claudia A. Evart, who created it after the deaths of her brother and sister. She wanted a day for all Americans to think about the importance of the relationships they have with their brothers and sisters. She created a Siblings Day Foundation to establish this special day and has managed to get 40 state governors to declare Siblings Day in their states. More and more people are accepting NSD and it now has a “Special Mark” from the US Patent and Trademark Office. If it keeps growing in popularity, it could be up there on the holiday calendar with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

每年的4月10日为美国的兄弟姐妹日。克劳迪娅·埃瓦特发起了该节日,她失去了自己的哥哥和姐姐。她希望这天能够让所有美国民众认识到兄弟姐妹的重要性。她通过建立“兄弟姐妹基金会”来创办这一特殊节日,美国四十州州长也承认了该节日。越来越多的人开始承认“兄弟姐妹日”,它还拥有了美国专利和商标局的特殊标志。如果欢迎度继续增加,那么它将有可能与父亲节,母亲节一样登上日历。

Do you ever stop and think just how important your brothers and sisters are to you? Do you ever wonder what life would be like without a brother or sister, to be an only child? Our siblings are quite often the people with whom we have the longest relations. More often than not, we are together in infancy, play together, grow up together and grow old together. We share a million experiences, joys and disappointments. We often rely on them when we are in deepest need and celebrate with them our greatest achievements. Our brothers and sisters are perhaps the people who understand and trust us best. It is great that there is a day when we get to celebrate this wonderful bond and to say “thank you for being my brother or sister”.

兄弟姐妹的重要性你有想过吗?如果这个世界没有他们,只有你那会是什么样子?兄弟姐妹之间的亲情通常是最长久的。我们往往从婴儿时期就生活在一起,一起玩,一起长大,一起变老。我们共同分享快乐哀愁。当我们伤心时,我们通常会从他们那里得到安慰,获得成功时与他们一同分享喜悦。兄弟姐妹或许是最了解我们,最信任我们的人。我们能够在这天庆祝我们之间的关系,并说出“谢谢你成为我的兄弟姐妹”。
