Well, as you know, on November 11th allies signed a peace treaty with the Germans, also known as the Armistice Treaty. This marked the end of WWI and many countries around the world commemorate this date under names such as Remembrance day. In Poland it’s their independence day! There’s a lot going on around the world on this day.
嗯，如你所知，11月11日，同盟国与德国签署了和平条约，也就是停战协定。这标志着第一次世界大战结束，世界上许多国家在这一天以不同的名称纪念，比如阵亡将士纪念日。在波兰，这是他们的独立日！这一天在世界各地有很多活动。
