你收到过这样的教师节祝福吗？
兼任作家、老师、演讲家和教练不同角色的Richard Kronick，在《赫芬顿邮报（The Huffington Post）》（2017年5月2日）上，对“教师”这个职业，做过这么一段评论：
Teachers are some of the most unappreciated of all professions and they deserve some recognition for the enormous contribution they make to society.
这段话道出了“教师”这个职业的两大特点：
1、社会贡献巨大
2、很不受社会认可
值此教师节之际，不知广大的老师们，今天都收到了什么样的祝福？你的工作都得到了大家的认可与肯定了吗？
不管怎么样，如果你一直以来都在尽职尽责地做好自己的本职工作，如果你今天还仍然战斗在教学教研的一线之中，你就该得到大家的点赞与激励！
借此机会，祝任劳任怨的老师们，节日快乐！难得有个自己的节日，就好好给自己放个假，哪怕是今晚吃顿好的，犒劳犒劳自己：）
下面，就摘引一些教师节的英文祝词和诗文，已飨一众辛劳的老师们：

Happy Teachers’ Day!
There is no teacher in all the world,
That I’ve met who is quite like you.
You have taken my brain from a lump of clay,
And turned into a sacred jewel.
Before your class, my dear teacher,
I had no aim or goal,
I simply wandered and halfheartedly tried,
And school was just a boring stroll.
All I cared about was one silly thing,
To get good grades in all subjects.
Then suddenly you awoke a fire in me,
And now I wish to follow in your footsteps.
All teachers will show up to class,
And most will try to teach,
Some will put in extra time,
And few will do more than preach.
A fraction of those will do much more,
Each and every day,
To make the process of learning fun,
And inspire students to lead the way.
Teachers’ day is coming your way,
Let’s give cheers for our amazing teachers “Hip hip Hooray”!
Thank you my dear teacher for passing the wisdom and the knowledge you know,
The things that I need to learn and help me to grow.
I appreciate how you teach me,
Not only from the books but life lessons too,
I am one happy student and I am so proud of you.
I am forever grateful to a teacher like you,
For helping me in the classroom and outside too. Happy Teachers Day!
