What Day it is?
Over breakfast on morning, a woman said to her husband, " I bet you don't know what day this is. "
" Of course I do, " he indignantly answered, going out to the office.
At 10 AM，the doorbell rang and when the woman openned the door, she was handed a box containing a dozen long stemmed red roses.
At 1 PM, a foil wrapped, two pound box of her favorite chocolates arrived.
Later, a boutique delivered a desgner dress.
The woman couldn't wait for her husband to come home. " First the flowers, then the chocolates and then the dress! " she exclaimed. " I've never had a more wonderful Groundhog Day in my life! ”
今天是什么日子？
（良邑 译）
一天早晨吃过早餐，女人对她的丈夫说，“ 我敢说你不知道今天是什么日子。”
“我当然知道了，”丈夫不耐烦地说，然后出门去上班。
上午10点钟，门铃响起。女人开门，她收到了一盒12支长茎红玫瑰。
下午1点钟，一盒两磅重的锡箔纸包装的她最喜欢的巧克力送到了。
不久，一家精品店送来了一件由设计师设计的连衣裙。
女人迫不及待地盼着丈夫回家来。“先是鲜花，然后是巧克力和连衣裙！”她激动地感叹，“我这辈子还从来没过过这么美好的土拨鼠日！”

二月有个最不该被忘记的重要节日：土拨鼠日。
If you live outside of Can-merica then you might not know what a groundhog is.
如果你住在美加以外的地区，可能会不知道什么是土拨鼠。
The story of the holiday is that on February 2nd the wise groundhogs wake from hibernation to peek out of their burrow and look at the world.
这节日的由来是，聪明的土拨鼠会在二月二日时从冬眠中苏醒，探出洞穴并看看世界。
If they see their shadow, they go back inside, which predicts six more weeks of winter.
如果他们看见了自己的影子，就会缩回洞中，代表冬天会再持续六周。
If they don't, then spring will come early.
如果他们没看见自己的影子，则表示春天会提早到来。
The holiday started in the 1800s as a Pennsylvania Dutch custom of weather prediction and today is celebrated in Canada and 49 of the fifty states, the exception being Alaska.
这个节日始于 19 世纪，是宾夕凡尼亚州预测天气的习俗，而现今，全加拿大以及美国五十州中除了阿拉斯加，其余四十九州都会庆祝这个节日。
