Do men need their own special day?
男人需要“男人節(jié)”？

In an online survey done by Shanghai Hotline asking “Do men need a holiday for themselves?”, 80.24 percent of respondents said “yes,” with many insisting that “Shanghai men are tired and men deserve a holiday.” Some 10.56 percent said they have no opinion on the day and 9.2 percent said that “it’s not necessary because there’s no historical background for Men’s Day.”
在上海熱線的一項(xiàng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)調(diào)查：“男人們需要自己的節(jié)日么？”中，80.24%的參與者回答“需要”，因?yàn)椤白錾虾Ｄ腥撕芾?，需要放假。”；約10.56%的人不置可否；9.2%的人說因?yàn)闆]有“男人節(jié)”的傳統(tǒng)，所以不需要。

Mr. Chan, an employee in a Shanghai real estate company is among the day’s supporters. “It’s a good idea,” he says. “Men nowadays are under great pressure, so we need a holiday to let off steam.”
上海一家房地產(chǎn)公司的職員陳先生支持“男人節(jié)”，他表示：“這個(gè)主意不錯(cuò)，現(xiàn)在做男人的壓力太大了，我們需要這樣一個(gè)節(jié)日來釋放自己?！?/div>

When asked what men could do on Men’s Day, Mr Chan says, “We can do things only for men, like going to a boxing club to bring out the bloody and hooligan side of ourselves.”
當(dāng)被問到“男人節(jié)”應(yīng)該怎么過時(shí)，陳先生說：“可以做一些只有男人才做的事情，比如去拳擊俱樂部，展現(xiàn)男人血性、陽剛的一面?！?/div>

Mr. Dong, an employee in a foreign company here, agrees with Mr Chan on the need for a day dedicated to men. “It’s necessary to set up this Men’s Day because of the existence of Women’s Day,” he says. “It’s the same as Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. Moreover, we should get half a day off on from work as well on International Men’s Day.”
一家外企的職員，董先生同意陳先生的觀點(diǎn)，也認(rèn)為需要一個(gè)專門為男人設(shè)立的節(jié)日。他說：“需要設(shè)立‘男人節(jié)’，因?yàn)橛小畫D女節(jié)’，就像既有‘母親節(jié)’也有‘父親節(jié)’一樣。另外，我們應(yīng)該在這一天休息半天，就像在“國際男人節(jié)”一樣?！?/div>

Of course, opponents do exist. Mr Ye, a freelance writer, doesn’t see the need. “It seems stupid to have this day which is the opposite of March 8, there’s nothing to celebrate, we’re just creating another random holiday,” he says.
當(dāng)然，也有反對的聲音：自由職業(yè)者葉先生就認(rèn)為“男人節(jié)”沒有必要。他說：“這只是個(gè)隨便設(shè)立的節(jié)日而已，根本沒有什么值得慶祝的?！?/div>
