世界河流日(World Rivers Day)

今天，我们要纪念世界河流日，这是一个庆祝我们星球水路的节日。这一活动于2005年从其源头——不列颠哥伦比亚河日开始，自1980年以来，加拿大的不列颠哥伦比亚人就一直在观察这一活动。现在，100多个国家的数百万人在9月的第四个星期日庆祝这项一年一度的活动。这一天提高了公众对世界各地河流的认识，并鼓励保护河流。

Today, we’re recognising World Rivers Day, a celebration of our planet’s waterways. The event branched off in 2005 from its source, BC Rivers Day, which has been observed by British Columbians in Canada since 1980. The annual event is now celebrated on the fourth Sunday of September by millions of people in more than 100 countries. It is a day that raises public awareness about rivers around the world and encourages their conservation.
