This celebration has moved beyond America’s borders and people now celebrate the benefits of a hug in Australia, Canada, England, Germany and Russia. It seems the day might catch on and start in other world countries. In America, National Hugging Day is big in schools, nursing care facilities and hospitals. It is a wonderful way of letting people know how you feel about themand of showing you care. So, go on… this National Hugging Day give everyone a big hug and make them feel good. A word of advice – ask before you hug!
國際擁抱日起源于1986年的1月21日。這一節日是由美國名人凱文·薩伯尼發起的，其目的是要促進擁抱所帶來的精神益處。這一節日跨越了美國國界，如今，澳大利亞。加拿大、英格蘭、德國以及俄羅斯也開始慶祝這一節日。國際擁抱日似乎還要更進一步，在世界上的其他國家繼續蔓延。在美國，這一節日在學校、護理領域以及醫院影響甚廣。讓別人知道你對他人的感情，讓他人了解到你對他人的關懷，這是多么好的方法。國際擁抱日，繼續加油，給每個人一個大大的擁抱，讓他們感到幸福。給你一句忠告，抱之前要問一下！
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”.
