我在网上找了劳动节的由来,然后把它翻译成了英文,以下供你参考：
五一劳动节的由来
1889年7月14日,由各国马克思主义者召集的社会主义者代表大会,在法国巴黎隆重开幕.这次大会上,法国代表拉文提议：把1886年5月1日美国工人争取八小时工作制的斗争日,定为国际无产阶级的共同节日.与会代表一致同意,通过了这项具有历史意义的决议.从此,“五一”国际劳动节诞生了.
The origin of Labour Day

五一劳动节的习俗
五一国际劳动节亦称“五一节”,在每年的五月一日.
此节源于美国芝加哥城的工人大罢工.1886年5月1日,芝加哥的二十一万六千余名工人为争取实行八小时工作制而举行大罢工,经过艰苦的流血斗争,终于获得了胜利.为纪念这次伟大的工人运动,1889年7 月第二国际宣布将每年的五月一日定为国际劳动节.这一决定立即得到世界各国工人的积极响应.1890年5月1日,欧美各国的工人阶级率先走向街头,举行盛大的示威游行与集会,争取合法权益.从此,每逢这一天世界各国的劳动人民都要集会、游行,以示庆祝.
Labour Day also known as "51" on May 1 of each year.
This section comes from the city of Chicago workers strike.May 1,1886,Chicago,216 000 thousand workers fighting for eight-hour day strike held,after a hard and bloody struggle,finally won.To commemorate this great labor movement,in July 1889 the Second International declared May 1 of each year as International Labour Day.This decision immediately positive response from workers around the world.May 1,1890,Europe and the United States to lead the working class to the streets,held a grand demonstration and assembly,for the legitimate rights and interests.Since then,
Every day working people around the world have to assembly,of procession and celebration.
五一节是一个在世界各国都有着重要意义的节日.五一节有着两个意义,一个较现代,一个较为古老和原始.五一节的现代意义在上世纪占据了重要地位,说到此,各位千万不要感到惊讶,虽然有人或许会争辩说人们已开始越来越注重五一节的传统意义了.
May Day is a festival that carries significance in countries all around the world.There are two main themes to May Day,one more modern and the other more ancient and primal.Unsurprisingly,it is the modern that has dominated in the last century,though perhaps one could argue that there is a revival taking place that focuses more on the traditional,ancient aspects of this May festival.
