教师节是Teachers’ Day, 母亲节是 Mother’s Day 苏正隆
英文单复数的用法很复杂，如 “office hours”, “business hours”但 “happy hour
”, “rush hour” 却不加s。
教师节是 “Teacher’s Day” or “Teachers’ Day” ? 以下是我September 28,
2012写的短文:
“Happy Teacher’s Day” or “Happy Teachers’ Day?” I was asked the
question the other day. 前几天有人问我，到底是“Happy Teacher’s Day” 还是 “
Happy Teachers’ Day”？
根据9/28/2012 Google搜寻的结果如下：
Here’s my findings: (Google Search as of Sept 28, 2012)
"Happy Teachers' Day" 约有 1,610,000 项结果
"Happy Teacher’s Day" 约有 438,000 项结果
"Happy Teachers' Day" site:us 约有 5,400 项结果
"Happy Teacher’s Day" site:us 约有 536 项结果
"Happy Teachers' Day" site:uk 约有 6,950 项结果
"Happy Teacher’s Day" site:uk 约有 2,360 项结果
由上可知，虽然两者皆可，但英美人士习惯上会说Teachers' Day.
维基百科的词目 “教师节” 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，我建议使用 “Happy Teachers’ Day!” But remember, it’s “Happy Mother
’s Day!” unless you have several mothers, you don't say "Happy Mothers'
Day!"
