世界節(jié)假日博覽 第41期:世界朗讀日

　　World Read Aloud Day is celebrated each year on the first Wednesday of March. It was started by the LitWorld.org website in 2010 and has now reached 65 countries. Its aim is to encourage the almost 800 million people worldwide who cannot read to enjoy the benefits of a book. LitWorld says: "Celebrate by reading aloud, giving away a book, or taking action in any way you can to Read It Forward on behalf of the 793 million people who cannot read." The website asks us to "imagine a world where everyone can read". It says: " World Read Aloud Day asks everyone to celebrate the day by grabbing a book, finding an audience, and reading out loud. [It] is about taking action to show the world that the right to read and write belongs to all people."

　　世界朗讀日會在每年三月的第一個星期三慶祝。該節(jié)日是2010年由LitWorld.org網(wǎng)站創(chuàng)建，目前已經(jīng)遍及65個國家。該節(jié)日的目的是要鼓勵全球將近8億不會閱讀的人群享受讀書帶來的快樂。LitWorld網(wǎng)站稱：“大聲朗讀，贈送圖書，或是采取任何能夠代表全球7億9300萬不會閱讀的人向閱讀進發(fā)的行動。”網(wǎng)站還要求人們想象一個全球人民都會閱讀的景象。網(wǎng)站稱：“世界朗讀日要求每個人通過尋找圖書，找尋聽眾，大聲閱讀的方式來慶祝該節(jié)日。該節(jié)日是要讓大家行動起來，向世界證明讀書寫字是所有人的權力。

　　The website has asked visitors to join a Global Literacy Movement to reduce the number ofilliterate people in the world. LitWorld says, "there is an urgent need to invest in education" so we can benefit from the "unquantifiable potential" of those who currently cannot read. Theorganisation urges us to act to encourage people to read. "It's time to take a big stand…by reading aloud to anyone who might like it. Share a book with a child who might need it, share a story with someone who would treasure it, listen to someone else's as they share with you. The United Nations says: "Literacy involves a continuum of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society."

　　網(wǎng)站還要求訪問者來參加全球掃盲運動，從而來減少全球文盲數(shù)量。LitWorld稱“我們急需在教育上進行投入”，所以，我們能夠從那些無法計算數(shù)量的文盲中獲益。該組織激勵我們去鼓勵他人閱讀。我們需要通過大聲朗讀來表明立場。與孩子分享一本他需要的書籍，與他人分享一段令他珍愛的故事，聆聽他人與我們分享的故事。聯(lián)合國稱：“讀寫能力需要不間斷的學習才能達到，這樣人們才能夠實現(xiàn)目標，獲取知識，發(fā)掘潛力，全身心的投入到社區(qū)和社會之中。
