英語短文：植樹節(jié)來歷
植樹節(jié)的由來
世界上有植樹節(jié)，首始美國。起初只是在內(nèi)布拉斯加州，后很快風(fēng)行全美，其他許多國家紛紛仿效。我國植樹節(jié)，始于民國四年(1915年)，當(dāng)時農(nóng)商部規(guī)定在清明日。
由于各地氣溫殊異，四月五日左右的清明節(jié)，北方較寒，尚可植樹;而南方已草木萌動，樹木一經(jīng)移栽，有礙生長，故須另擇日期。民國十七年(1928年)，當(dāng)時的國民政府中有人提議，孫中山先生是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)推翻幾千年封建王朝，創(chuàng)立民國的偉大元勛，功懸日月，名垂千古，以他的逝世紀(jì)念日三月十二日為植樹節(jié)，無論意義與時令均甚合宜。這一提議遂獲得通過。并確定蘭花為首都市花。
1930年3月12日，這一天在南京的國民政府要員齊集南京東郊中山陵，參加第一次“國父逝世紀(jì)念植樹儀式”，以后亦每年舉行。但由于當(dāng)時政府倡而不力，始終未能推廣開來。
解放后，由于人民政府大力提倡，綠化造林取得了很大成績。1979年，中華人民共和國全國人民代表大會常務(wù)委員會更進(jìn)一步確定，將3月12日定為全民植樹節(jié)�，F(xiàn)在每到這一天，上至中央，下至地方，黨政軍民，工農(nóng)商學(xué)，紛紛出動植樹造林，綠化祖國，形成了既轟轟烈烈，又扎扎實實的群眾自覺活動。全國許多城市還選了市樹、市花。南京選雪松為市樹、梅花為市花。3月12日植樹節(jié)，已深入人心。

Planting Trees Day comes on March 12 every year. Do you know what can we do to help on the day?
In China, Planting Trees Day is on March 12. This special day began in 1979. On that day, people can plant many trees. And if we plant trees more, we must also take care of the trees by watering them until they grow up to be strong. In different countries, Planting Trees Days are on different days. Like in India, Planting Trees Day is on July 1.
Why do the people plant trees? It is very easy. Because they want to protect the environment. There are many people who want to earn the money form only cutting down trees. So more and more trees are cut by them. But kind people want to protect the environment and make the air clean. So they plant trees as many as they can.
All these actions show that people should pay more attention to the environment. We want to make it better, don’t we? So we must plant more trees to protect the environment.
So, everyone, if you want to make the air clean, please try your best to protect the environment and plant more trees.
