教師節是Teachers’ Day, 母親節是 Mother’s Day 蘇正隆
英文單複數的用法很複雜，如 “office hours”, “business hours”但 “happy hour
”, “rush hour” 卻不加s。
教師節是 “Teacher’s Day” or “Teachers’ Day” ? 以下是我September 28,
2012寫的短文:
“Happy Teacher’s Day” or “Happy Teachers’ Day?” I was asked the
question the other day. 前幾天有人問我，到底是“Happy Teacher’s Day” 還是 “
Happy Teachers’ Day”？
根據9/28/2012 Google搜尋的結果如下：
Here’s my findings: (Google Search as of Sept 28, 2012)
"Happy Teachers' Day" 約有 1,610,000 項結果
"Happy Teacher’s Day" 約有 438,000 項結果
"Happy Teachers' Day" site:us 約有 5,400 項結果
"Happy Teacher’s Day" site:us 約有 536 項結果
"Happy Teachers' Day" site:uk 約有 6,950 項結果
"Happy Teacher’s Day" site:uk 約有 2,360 項結果
由上可知，雖然兩者皆可，但英美人士習慣上會說Teachers' Day.
維基百科的詞目 “教師節” 也是 “ Teachers' Day”:
Teachers' Day
The date on which Teachers' day is celebrated varies from country to
country. Teachers' days are distinct from World Teachers' Day which is
officially celebrated across the world on Oct 5. (From Wikipedia)
So, I’d recommend using “Happy Teachers’ Day!”
因此，我建議使用 “Happy Teachers’ Day!” But remember, it’s “Happy Mother
’s Day!” unless you have several mothers, you don't say "Happy Mothers'
Day!"
