  • Japan's newest public holiday is finally here -- and it's all about celebrating the country's ancient natural beauties.

    日前,日本新增了一个国民假日,只是为了庆祝这个国家古老的自然风光。

    "Mountain Day" was first introduced to parliament in 2014 following lobbying from the Japanese Alpine1 Club and other Alp-related groups.

    早在2014年,“山之日”就被日本阿尔卑斯俱乐部及其他团体的议员们提出,并引入国会讨论。

    The bill passed and it was officially added to the calendar, set to be observed every August 11 starting in 2016. The holiday is targeted at overworked Japanese with the aim of pulling them from their dreary2, air-conditioned cubicles3 for a day.

    这项提案如今已获得通过,并定于每年的8月11日为“山之日”,自2016年起正式实行。这个节日旨在将劳累过度的日本人从枯燥的工作、沉闷的空调房里解救出来。

    Those planning to take advantage of the new holiday and explore Japan's mountainous scenery have no shortage of options.

    那些想好好利用这一天假日,去探索日本山野风光的人可以有很多种选择。

    For some lucky residents, stunning4 mountain ranges form the backdrop of their cities and towns.

    对于部分幸运的市民来说,他们居住的城镇就是被秀美的山脉所包围。

    For the rest of us who aren't enjoying a day off in Japan on August 11, this gallery of some of the country's prettiest peaks will have to do.

    而对于我们这些在8月11日当天抽不出时间去山上走一走的人来说,看一些这个国家美丽的山峰的图片也是极好的。

    Mount Hotaka, Nagano prefecture – Mount Hotaka, part of Japan's Northern Alps -- or Hida Mountains -- overlooks the Azusa River, which flows through the highland5 valley of Kamikochi.

    日本长野县的穗高岳是日本北阿尔卑斯山,或称飞驒山的一部分,可以俯瞰流过上高地的山谷的阿祖瑟河。

    Mount Daisen, Tottori prefecture – Known as Japan's second Mount Fuji for its resemblance to the icon6, Mount Daisen is the highest peak in the Chugoku region, standing7 1,709 meters tall.

    日本鸟取县的大山由于外形相似,被称为日本第二个富士山。它是Chugoku(这个地名翻译过来就叫中国)区域最高的山,高1709米。

    Mount Fuji, border of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures – At 3,776.24 meters, Mount Fuji is the highest mountain peak in Japan and one of the most famous in the country.

    位于静冈县和山梨县交界处的富士山,海拔为3776.24米,是日本最高的山峰,也是这个国家最为有名的山峰之一。
