教师节将至，孩子扛2条五花肉送老师引关注

又到教师节了，老母亲们肯定又发愁了，送什么礼物给老师好呢?太便宜的拿不出手，太贵的又怕负担不起，尤其是家里有两个，甚至三个孩子上学的家庭。

重庆一名小学生扛着两条五花肉送给老师当教师节礼物的视频上了热搜，网友们直呼实在又温馨!

On September 8th, as the student and his mother was on their way to school, they passed by the entrance of a supermarket and noticed that the pork belly there looked particularly fresh. suddenly realizing that Teacher’s Day was approaching, they impulsively entered the supermarket and picked out two pieces of pork belly as presents for their teachers.

9月8日，这名学生和他的妈妈在上学途中，路过超市门口，看到了超市的五花肉特别新鲜，临时想起教师节到了，就进超市给老师挑了两条五花肉当教师节的礼物。

From the video, it can be seen that the student calmly walked down the street, carrying the two pieces of pork belly on a shoulder pole, attracting much attention of passersby. When the teacher received the presents, she warmly embraced the student.

从视频看到，这么学生用扁担挑着两条五花肉淡定走在路上，回头率满满。老师收到礼物后，热情地拥抱了这个孩子。

In fact, in ancient times, students were required to present “shuxiu” (a token of respect) to their teachers, which served as both a gesture of respect for their first encounter with the teacher and as a form of remuneration. In ancient times, people presented various types of shuxiu to their teachers, but giving meat, such as pork belly, was quite common.

其实，在古代的时候，孩子读书是要交束脩的，这是对初次见面的老师的敬意，也是给老师的报酬。古时候人们给老师的束脩五花八门，但是，给老师送肉是非常常见的。

对于孩子给老师送五花肉当教师节礼物的事情，网友的讨论五花八门，大多数网友觉得孩子的教师节礼物很有心意很有内涵，不过，也有的网友担忧这样的礼物会给老师带来困扰和误解，你怎么看呢?

接下来，我们来看看今天要学的英语。

1、present for Teachers' Day

注意教师节的礼物一般用present，而不用gift。因为gift意为“something given freely with no restrictions”，是较为随意的情况下送的礼物，而教师节是一个很有仪式感的节日，也更加正式，所以要用present。

例句：

I bought a special present for Teachers' Day to show my appreciation for all the hard work my teacher has put into helping me succeed.

我买了一份特别的教师节礼物，以表达我对老师为我取得成功所付出的辛勤努力的感激之情。

As a token of gratitude, I prepared a thoughtful present for Teachers' Day to express my admiration for my teacher’s dedication and guidance.

作为感激之情的象征，我准备了一份用心的教师节礼物，以表达我对老师的奉献和指导的崇敬之情。

2、 Pork Belly 五花肉

直译过来就是“猪肚”，但是，在英语里面，Belly 指的是腹部，也就是猪的腹部的肉，也就是我们常说的五花肉。
