Mountain Day

Aug 11, 2016 03:59
Today, August 11th is Mountain Day.

The purpose of Mountain Day is "to obtain an opportunity to become familiar with mountains, and to thank to benefits of the mountains."

Actually, the day is not derived from events related to mountains.

Some organizations such as Japanese Alpine Club had requested the establishment of Mountain Day since 2010, then the day was finally enacted in 2014 and executed from 2016.

Therefore, today is the first Mountain Day.

At first, some people thought that Mountain Day should be June along to the mountain climbing season.

However, since it was convenient for many people to connect the day to Bon vacation, it became August.

By the way, summer vacation of my university has started from yesterday, I have little relevance to Mountain Day.
山の日

今日、8月11日は山の日です。

山の日は、「山に親しむ機会を得て、山の恩恵に感謝する」ことを趣旨とした日です。

実は、山に関する出来事などには特に由来していません。

日本山岳会などの団体が2010年から制定を要求し、2014年に制定され、2016年から施行されました。

すなわち、今日は最初の山の日です。

最初は山開きに合わせて6月にしようとしていたそうですが、8月のお盆休みと繋げたほうが都合が良いことから、8月になったようです。

ちなみに、私の大学は8月10日から一斉休暇だったため、山の日の影響はありません。

  • Today, August 11th is Mountain Day.
  • Today, August 11th, is Mountain Day.
    　"August 11th" is an appositive. It adds detail to "Today." We put commas before and after appositives. They work like parentheses: Today (August 11th) is Mountain Day.
  • The purpose of Mountain Day is "to obtain an opportunity to become familiar with mountains, and to thank to benefits of the mountains."
  • The purpose of Mountain Day is "to become familiar with mountains and to be thankful for the benefits of mountains."
    　You could also say: "The purpose of Mountain Day is 'to learn about mountains and recognize the benefits of mountains.' " I am assuming that you are quoting some other source in this sentence.
  • Actually, the day is not derived from events related to mountains.
  • This sentence is perfect! No correction needed!
  • Some organizations such as Japanese Alpine Club had requested the establishment of Mountain Day since 2010, then the day was finally enacted in 2014 and executed from 2016.
  • Some organizations, such as the Japanese Alpine Club, had requested the establishment of Mountain Day since 2010. The day was finally established in 2014 and executed in 2016.
    　I would write this: Since 2010, organizations, such as the Japanese Alpine Club, had been calling for the creation of a Mountain Day. In 2014 the day was established. However, it was not until 2016 that the first Mountain Day occurred.
  • Therefore, today is the first Mountain Day.
  • This sentence is perfect! No correction needed!
  • At first, some people thought that Mountain Day should be June along to the mountain climbing season.
  • At first, some people thought that Mountain Day should be in June to go along with mountain climbing season.
  • However, since it was convenient for many people to connect the day to Bon vacation, it became August.
  • However, since it was convenient for many people to connect the day to Bon vacation, it was placed in August.
    　This sentence is confusing. I think you could also put this: Mountain Day is in August because it was convenient to have it line up with Bon vacation.
  • By the way, summer vacation of my university has started from yesterday, I have little relevance to Mountain Day.
  • By the way, summer vacation for my university started yesterday. Mountain Day has little relevance to me.

This was my first time correcting. I hope it helps.
