Ekka in Australia

綠底─自翻譯句
Ekka, 只有在Brisbane是用這個特別的名字,在其他城市都是用Royal Show來統稱。每年的八月初,正是昆士蘭要邁入冬末的時節,豔陽開始高掛,Queenslander用這個重大的節慶來迎接春天。
‘’Ekka’’ is a special name only used in Brisbane and another cites call it ‘’Royal Show.’’ Early of every August it is the fall-to-winter time in Queensland, Australia where it is becoming hot that Queenslanders hold the most important festival to celebrate spring coming.
早在1875年開始,時至今日100多年,Ekka秀已經是昆士蘭家庭每年的親子間的節慶,也是數以十萬計的觀光客必去的盛會。布里斯本每年還訂定了一天”public holiday”為Ekka Day。是的,你沒有看錯,政府特別放了一天假,就是Ekka Day。你可以把它想成一個超厲害、老少咸宜的party,為期10天,內容包羅萬象。

It has been lasting one hundred more years since 1875, ‘’Ekka’’ is every Queensland’s family day between parents and children as well as the feast for hundred thousands of tourists. Even in Brisbane there is an ‘’Ekka Day.’’ founded as a ‘’Public holiday.’’ Yes, it surely is a holiday ruled by government. You can imagine it as a super party for anyone including ten-day activities and colorful content
