你知道吗?今天,5月8日,除了是母亲节之外,还是一个特殊的节日,那就是世界微笑日

它的英文表达是:World Smile Day

有一种说法是,5月8日是国际红十字会创始人亨利·杜南的生日,所以,从1948年开始,国际红十字会规定将这一点定为世界红十字日,也即“世界微笑日”。

所以各位童鞋们,今天一定要奖励自己一个大大的微笑哦!

不过,有一个问题来了,是不是很多人看到“笑”这个词,第一反应出来的英文都是smile?

其实,smile是一个概括性的表述(general term),可以表达各种心情愉悦的笑容。注意,它只表达面部表情(facial expression),不包括笑声(vocal expression)。

那么,你知道大笑,偷笑,假笑,傻笑,咯咯笑等各种笑的英文表达吗?趁着这个世界微笑日,我们一起来学习一下。
