關於六一兒童節的英語資料介紹

時光過的飛快，在過不久兒童節就到了。話説每每臨近六一兒童節，想必各位都回憶起童年了吧！在臨近兒童節的此刻，小編就要問了，過了這麼多年，你可知道兒童節是怎麼來？如果你也不知道的話，就隨小編來瞧瞧吧。英語和漢語都有哦。

　　Children's Day
　　Children's Day is a holiday in many countries around the world; mainly the holiday's purpose is to simply honor children.

International Children's Day
　　The International Children's Day （ICD） is celebrated in numerous countries, usually （but not always） on June 1 each year.

The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco （USA） gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.

June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year （if at all）， and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. （See the section on Germany below for further discussions.） Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1.

Universal Children's Day
　　Since December 14, 1954, United Nations and UNESCO observes 20 November as the Universal Children's Day.

Albania
　　Children's Day is celebrated on June 1 in Albania too.

Germany
　　During the Cold War, the Children's Day （Kindertag） was handled quite differently in the two states. The date was different （GDR: June 1, FRG: September 20）， the name was slightly different （GDR: “International Children's Day” （“Internationaler Kindertag”）， FRG: “World Children's Day” （“Weltkindertag”））， and most notably: the customs were different.

In the GDR, the holiday was introduced in 1950, and was from then on a yearly highlight for the children. On this day of the year, one typically received congratulations and presents from one's parents and did special activities in school, such as field trips and the like. In the FRG, Children's Day did not have such meaning to the children, and was even mostly unknown to many people.

Since the affiliation in 1990, the date and name used in the FRG have become the official ones for the former GDR as well. This however was not accepted by large parts of the former GDR population, so that still many parents celebrate with their kids on the former date, June 1, and even Children's Day public events take place on the old date.

Hong Kong
　　The Children's Day is celebrated on April 4 each year in Hong Kong.

India
　　In India, November 14 - the birthday of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru , is celebrated as Children's Day. Jawaharlal Nehru loved children and was popular among them as “chacha” Nehru, （“chacha” is the Hindi word for “uncle”）。 Thus, his birthday is celebrated as Children's Day.

Nigeria
　　In Nigeria, Children's Day is celebrated on May 27.

Paraguay
　　In Paraguay, Children's Day is celebrated on August 16, day of the infamous Battle of Acosta ?u, where 20,000 men of the Brazilian Army crushed a Paraguayan battalion made up of 3,500 children ages six to fifteen - even though Paraguay had been already completely defeated （see more in War of the Triple Alliance）。 It's a national holiday, used to remember the atrocities of the Paraguayan War.

People's Republic of China
　　In the People's Republic of China, Children's Day is celebrated on June 1 and is formally known as “the June 1st International Children's Day”. When the People's Republic of China was first established in 1949, the State Council （Cabinet） designated a half-day holiday for all primary schools on June 1st. This was later made into a full day's break in 1956 with The Announcement by the State Council to make June 1st Children's Day a One-Day Holiday. Schools usually hold activities such as camping trips or free movies on Children's Day to allow students to have fun, and children of civil servants might also receive small gifts from the government. Entrance ceremonies of the Young Pioneers of China （similar to boy scouts in the West） are usually held on June 1st as well. However on 6/1/08 the day was made even more memorable, as many people remembered the children who died in the earthquake just a few weeks ago.

Poland
　　In Poland, Children's Day is celebrated on June 1.

Romania

It was officially adopted by government in 1973, and became a public holiday in 1975. A common tradition is for families to usually make outings to children's parks, amusement parks, zoos, or other child friendly locations. Gifts and pocket money are also given to children on this day.

Turkey
　　April 23 is the “National Sovereignty and Children's Day” （tr:23 Nisan Ulusal Egemenlik ve ?ocuk Bayram?） in Turkey.

The date commemorates the opening of Turkish National Assembly in 1920 during the Turkish Independence War. The designation of Children's Day came in 1929 upon the recommendation of the Institution of Children's Protection. Since 1986 the Turkish government organizes an international children's festival on April 23.

On April 23 of every year, children in Turkey celebrate this “Sovereignty and Children's Day” as a national holiday, and is celebrated by citizens troughout the country during ceremonies preceding the day.

Among the activities on this day, children from all around Turkey gather in the capital city, Ankara, and they replace the selected members of the Grand National Assembly. They have an elected president and prime minister and they govern Turkey for one day in order to emphasize the importance of the children in the society. In many places governmental agencies leave the authority to children symbolically for the day.

Traditionally since 1986, children come to Turkey to represent their country of origin to children of the world with artistic performances. They're housed in Turkish homes and can meet with Turkish children. This event is organized by the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation. The groups of foreign children also participate in the special session held at the Grand National Assembly.

Turkish people hope these children will remember the day for their lives and will contribute to a bound with other cultures. The internationalization is thus aimed toward Turkey's principle of, “peace at home, peace in the world”, and “Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the people”.

兒童節
　　兒童節是全世界許多國家的假日，此假日的目的是完全是祝賀兒童。

國際兒童節
　　許多國家都慶祝國際兒童節，通常（但並不全是）在每年6月1日。

國際兒童節來源於1925年在瑞士日內瓦舉行世界兒童福利大會。6月1日被選作國際兒童節的原因不得而知：一個説法是中國駐舊金山總領事招集了一批中國孤兒在1925年慶祝端午節，這個節日在那年恰好在6月1日，也正好巧遇日內瓦會議。

國際兒童日
　　從1954年12月14日以來，聯合國和聯合國教科文組織將11月20日作為國際兒童日來慶祝。

阿爾巴尼亞
　　阿爾巴尼亞也在6月1日慶祝兒童節。

德國
　　在冷戰期間，兩個國家對待兒童節（德語Kindertag）的方式截然不同。日期不同（民主德國：6月1日，聯邦德國：9月20日），名稱也略有不同[民主德國：“國際兒童節”（德語“Internationaler Kindertag”），聯邦德國：世界兒童節（德語“Weltkindertag”）]，更顯着的是：習俗不同。

在民主德國，這個假日於1950年提出，並且從那時起，每年都有為了兒童精彩場面。在每年這一天，每個兒童會代表性地收到來自父母的祝賀和禮物，並且在學校參加特別的活動，如實地考察旅行和及其類似活動。在聯邦德國，兒童節對兒童來説沒有那樣的含義，而且甚至通常不為許多人所知。

從1990年合併以來，用於聯邦德國的日期和名稱成為官方性的，同樣用於原民主德國。然而，這不被大多數前民主德國人所接受，以至仍然有許多父母同孩子們在原日期6月1日進行慶祝，而且甚至兒童節的公共活動也在舊日期舉行。

尼日利亞
　　在尼日利亞，在 5月27日慶祝兒童節。

巴拉圭
　　在巴拉圭，8月16日慶祝兒童節，這一天爆發了不光彩的阿科斯塔努（Acosta ?u）戰役，在阿科斯塔努，巴西軍隊的20000人擊垮了巴拉圭由3500名六到十五歲兒童組成的營——當然巴拉圭已被徹底擊敗（請在《三國聯盟戰爭》中看更多的信息）。這是全國性的假日，用來巴拉圭戰爭中的遭受的大屠殺。

波蘭
　　波蘭於6月1日慶祝兒童節。

羅馬尼亞
　　羅馬尼亞於6月1日慶祝兒童節。

南朝鮮
　　南朝鮮兒童節由邦正煥於1923年確立。原定於5月1日，後在1946年改為5月5日。這個節日在1973年被官方正式採用，並於1975年成為公共假日。公共慣例通常是讓家庭成員帶孩子們外出到兒童公園，遊樂園、動物園或其他兒童喜歡的西方。在這一天，通常也給孩子們禮物和零用錢。

新加坡
　　10月1日是新加坡正式慶祝兒童節的日子，每年類似的慶祝活動是青年節，青年節在每年7月的第一個星期日慶祝。

泰國
　　在泰國，1月的第二個星期六為兒童節。

土爾其
　　在土爾其，4月23日為“國家主權和兒童節”（土爾其語：23 Nisan Ulusal Egemenlik ve ?ocuk Bayram?）。

這個日子慶祝1920年土爾其獨立戰爭期間土爾其國民大會的召開。在兒童保護協會的推薦下，1929年指定了兒童節。1986年以來，土爾其政府在每年4月23日組織一個國際兒童喜慶日。在每年4月23日，土爾其的兒童將這個“主權與兒童節” 當全國性的節日來慶祝，在先於這天的儀式中，全國的公民都進行慶祝。

傳統上，從1986年以來，兒童們代表自己的國家到土爾其，向全世界兒童進行藝術表演。他們住在土爾其的家中，並且可以會見土爾其兒童。這項活動由土爾其廣播電視公司組織。外國兒童團體也在大國民議會參加特殊的會議。

土爾其人民希望兒童們為了他們的人生而記住這個日子，並且為與其它文化的結合做出貢獻。從而這個國際化是針對“國內和平，國際和平”和“主權無條件地屬於人民”的原則。
