As we all know, July 14th is the national day of France. In commemoration of the people of Paris1)conqueredthe Bastille, which symbolized2)feudalrule, it overthrew the monarchy.

The National Day of France, is also called the “Bastille Day”, meaning that in July 14,1789, the people of Paris took the Bastille prison, which symbolized autocracy, the end of social rank and privilege, and became the whole French national festival in July 14, 1790.This day is a legal holiday in France.

It is generally believed that the official date of the French National Day is in 1789, but in fact it is not. Although the3)gloriousday of conquering the Bastille of Paris people was commemorating, the July 14th 1789 was once regarded as the national day. But after the restoration of the feudal dynasty in 1814, it declared July 14th a “national humiliation day”and a “murderer’s holiday”.

In 1870, the Republic was4)restored.In 1879, the Republican Party set up a government, and the parliament moved from Versailles to Paris. The following year in June,the French parliament passed the decree formally, July 14, 1880 will be France’s National Day, until today.

1) conquered ['kɒŋkә(r)] v. 攻克 (conquer的过去式和过去分词 )

2) feudal ['fju:d(ә)l] adj.封建制度的

3) glorious ['glɔ:rɪәs] adj. 光荣的

4) restored [ri'stɔ:d] v. 修复(restore 的过去式)

大家都知道7月14号是法国的国庆日,纪念巴黎人民攻占象征封建统治的巴士底狱,推翻君主政权。

法国国庆节,是法国的国家纪念日,也叫“巴士底日”,意指1789年7月14日巴黎群众攻占巴士底监狱,这一天象征专制、社会等级和特权的结束,并且于1790年7月14日成为整个法兰西民族的节日。这一天是法国的法定假日。

人们通常认为,法国国庆日的正式确定是在1789年,其实不然。虽然为纪念巴黎人民攻克巴士底狱这一光辉的日子,曾一度将1789年的7月14日作为国庆日。但1814年封建王朝复辟后,宣布7月14日为“国耻日”和“杀人犯的节日”。

1870年,法国恢复共和国,1879年,共和党成立了政府,议会由凡尔赛迁到了巴黎。翌年6月,法国议会正式通过法令,将1880年7月14日定为法国的国庆节,直至今日。
