Queen's Day

Queen's Day Today is April 30. My family travelled to Amsterdam to celebrate the Queen's birthday. My favourite part of Queen's Day is the orange craze. To honour the Dutch royal family, The House of Orange, we all wore the fun, bright colours. I had pretty orange ribbons tied in my hair. They fluttered in the breeze and tickled my face. At one of the stands, Dad bought each of us a Dutch flag to wave around during the parade. Then, we made our way to the parade route. “ Look, Dad. It's the Queen! I see Queen Beatrix! ” Mom told me that Queen's Day is meant to be a national day of togetherness.

女王日 今天是4月30日。我的家人去阿姆斯特丹庆祝女王的生日。我最喜欢的部分是女王节的橙色热潮。 以纪念荷兰皇室。在橙色之家，我们都穿着有趣、明亮的颜色。我的头发上系着漂亮的橙色丝带。它们在微风中飞舞，弄得我的脸痒痒的。在其中一个摊位上，爸爸给我们每人买了一面荷兰国旗，在游行中挥舞。然后，我们向游行路线走去。 “看。爸爸。这是女王!我看到贝娅特丽克丝女王了!” 妈妈告诉我，女王节应该是一个举国欢聚的节日。

Here, on Dad's shoulders, I could see it. People were holding hands, talking and laughing. They were showing their love for their queen and their country. I waved my flag as high as my arm could reach and became a part of it all.

这里，在爸爸的肩膀上，我能看到它。人们牵着手，有说有笑。他们在表达对女王和国家的爱。 我把旗子举得高高的，胳膊够到的地方，我也成为了其中的一份子。
