1.Lunar New Year, celebrated by many Asian communities, could become a new federal holiday under a bill proposed by Rep. Grace Meng, a New York Democrat.

根據(jù)紐約州民主黨眾議員孟昭文提出的一項法案，許多亞洲社區(qū)慶祝的農(nóng)歷新年可能成為一個新的聯(lián)邦假日,。

2.If passed, the new measure would make Lunar New Year the 12th federal holiday, and the first since President Biden signed into law a bill establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday last year.

如果獲得通過,，這項新措施將使農(nóng)歷新年成為第12個聯(lián)邦假日，這也是自拜登總統(tǒng)簽署法案將6月18日定為聯(lián)邦假日以來的第一個聯(lián)邦假日,。

3.Lunar New Year, which began on Feb. 1 this year, is celebrated by about two-thirds of Asian Americans from China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam.

和往年一樣，孟提出的是一項眾議院決議，承認農(nóng)歷新年的文化和歷史意義,。

5."With Asian Americans being the fastest growing population in our country, and with the popularity of the holiday continuing to grow, it makes sense to make Lunar New Year a federal holiday," Meng said.

孟女士說:“亞裔美國人是我國增長最快的人口,，隨著這個節(jié)日的受歡迎程度持續(xù)增長，將農(nóng)歷新年定為聯(lián)邦假日是合理的,?！?/p>

6."My bill, coupled with my resolution, would demonstrate that the holiday celebrated by millions is also valued by their government."

“我的法案，加上我的決議,，將表明數(shù)百萬人慶祝的節(jié)日也將受到他們政府的重視,。”

7.The proposal comes amid a disturbing trend of Anti-Asian hate during the coronavirus pandemic, which has driven a spike in violent attacks across the country.

該提議出臺之際,，新冠病毒疫情期間出現(xiàn)了令人不安的反亞洲仇恨趨勢,，導(dǎo)致全國暴力襲擊激增。

8.Some school districts around the country, including in New York, Virginia and Iowa, already close for Lunar New Year.

美國各地的一些學(xué)區(qū),，包括紐約、弗吉尼亞和愛荷華,，已經(jīng)在農(nóng)歷新年關(guān)閉,。

9.The federal holiday designation would allow most federal government employees to take the day off.

聯(lián)邦假日確定后將允許大多數(shù)聯(lián)邦政府雇員休假。

10.The Lunar New Year Day Act, backed by 44 co-sponsors, has yet to receive pushback, Meng told the The Washington Post.

孟女士告訴《華盛頓郵報》,，由44個共同提案國支持的《農(nóng)歷新年法》尚未遭到反對,。
