National Handwriting Day is on January 23rd. Its aim is to highlight the importance of the skill of handwriting. It is an important day in today’s world where people use a computer keyboard more than a pen or pencil. Some people are worried that in the future, handwriting might become a lost art. The Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association (WIMA) started National Handwriting Day in 1977. They chose January 23rd because this is the birthday of John Hancock, who was the first person to sign the American Declaration of Independence – one of the most important documents in America’s history. WIMA says: "National Handwriting Day is a chance for all of us to re-explore the purity and power of handwriting."
全國書法日定在了每年的1月23日。創立該節日的目的是為了讓人們重視起書法技巧的重要性。在當今世界中，人們使用電腦的次數要多于使用鉛筆和鋼筆次數，這一節日更尤為重要。許多人擔心將來的書法藝術將會失傳。文具制作協會在1977年始創了該節日。他們選擇1月23日的原因是這天是約翰·漢考克的生日，他是第一個簽署美國獨立宣言的人，這一文件是美國歷史上所簽署的最重要的文件之一。文具制作協會稱：“全國書法日讓我們有機會重新發現書法的力量和淳樸。
Handwriting is like an art. We can use it to express ourselves and be creative. It is almost like a craft.Traditional teachers like to teach their students ‘penmanship’, rather than simply ‘writing’. A higherart form is calligraphy. People can study how to write a single letter of the alphabet for many years. Everyone’s handwriting is unique. We only need to see the front of a letter to recognize the handwriting of someone we know. Some handwriting can be almost impossible to read. Doctors are famous for writing prescriptions that look like gobbledygook or ancient hieroglyphics. Experts can even analyze our handwriting and explain what kind of personality we have. What does your handwriting say about you?
書法就像是藝術。我們能夠利用書法來表達情感，讓人們變得更加富有創造力。書法就像是工藝品。傳統老師喜歡教授學生“具有藝術風格的書法”而不是簡單的寫字。高等藝術被稱之為書法。單個字也許就會花費多年的時間來學習。每個人的筆記是各不相同的。我們僅僅能夠通過開頭的幾個字來認出我們所認識的人。許多筆記很難辨認。醫生的處方筆記看起來像天書，或是古代的象形文字。專家能夠從筆記中讀出人們的性格。你的筆記能夠告訴你什么呢？
