这天

On Remembrance Sunday we honour those who died.

我们休战纪念星期日捐躯的人致敬。

The day was bright and sunny.

阳光灿烂。

It was the first of August, a perfect day, with a burning sun and cloudless sky.

八月一日, 阳光普照, 万里无云。

A poor Jew lived in the shtetl in 19th century Russia. A Cossack comes up to him on horseback.

'''笑话一则'''：一位穷苦的犹太人住19世纪俄的犹太村庄里，，一位骑着马的哥萨克骑兵来到他的身边。

Traditionally this was the day on which handsel (presents) were given by employers to their staff, rather than on Christmas Day.

传统上雇主将给他的雇员送礼物，而圣诞节。
