世界教師節：在教師節學會感恩

World Teachers' Day – a UNESCO initiative that celebrates teachers around the world. Since 1994, WTD is held annually on October 5, to raise awareness and address the issues pertinent to teachers: whilst recognising the contribution they make to education.
世界教師日——一個由聯合國教科文組織發起的爲全世界的老師們慶祝的節日。從1994年開始，每年的10月5日爲世界教師日，來提高對教師的關注以及解決與之相關的問題，同時表彰他們對教育的貢獻。

Isn’t it curious that one of the most pivotal professions in our society, that impacts our young people, influences our leaders of tomorrow and affects the way we live our life, rarely receives the respect or acknowledgement it deserves.
你對這個我們社會中最主要的職業之一不好奇嗎？這種職業影響着我們的年輕人、未來的領導者以及我們的生活方式，卻極少受到它應得的尊重與感謝。

Teachers and school communities are a vital component to the healthy functioning of our society and yet in the UK, teacher morale is in crisis, external criticism is rife and sickness due to stress is exploding.
教師和學校社區是我們社會健全機能中至關重要的組成部分，然而在英國，教師的情緒狀態正處於危機之中，來自外部的批評到處都是，而由壓力引起的的疾病也正在爆發。

Tomorrow is the day to appreciate teachers and the extraordinary job they do to teach, support and inspire our children. As you finish this article, raise a glass to the teachers that inspired you. Say thank you to the teachers that made a positive difference in your life.
明天是感謝教師的日子，而這個職業是特別的，老師們教育、支持和啓發我們的孩子，當你看完這篇文章，去向曾經啓發過你的老師舉杯致敬吧，向那些對你的生活產生積極影響的老師們好好道謝。

Teachers are the most valuable resource in education. It’s time to appreciate their value in our society. You cannot put a price on inspiring a child to be the best they can be. Teachers are the unsung heroes of our communities.
教師們是教育行業中最寶貴的資源，是時候來肯定他們在我們社會中的價值了。老師們能夠最好地啓發一個孩子，而你卻無法爲此定價。老師們是我們社會中默默無聞的英雄。
Today of all days, let’s acknowledge and celebrate their foundational influence in our lives.
就在今天，讓我們來感謝並讚美老師們對我們的生活最基本的影響。

I will be saying thank you to the fantastic teacher who, thirty years ago, taught me to make the best sponge cake ever, that still leaves my whole family salivating and in awe of my baking prowess. Thank you Mrs. Edgel.
我要對一位非常棒的老師說聲謝謝，三十年前，她教我做出了有史以來最棒的海綿蛋糕，這蛋糕至今仍然讓我的家人垂涎欲滴，深深欽佩我的烘焙技術。謝謝你，Edgel夫人。
