雙語(yǔ)趣味美文：六一兒童節(jié)的由來(lái)

　　關(guān)于六一兒童節(jié)的由來(lái)有兩種說(shuō)法：

　　第一種說(shuō)法：

　　Children, also known as "June 1 International Children's Day," the annual June 1, the world of children's festivals. November 1949, the Women's International Democratic Federation council meeting held in Moscow. China and other countries and representatives of countries and anger exposed the imperialist reactionaries kill and poison children. In order to protect the world's children to survival, health and education, to improve the lives of children. The meeting decided in the annual June 1 International Children's Day.

　　1942年6月，德國(guó)法西斯黨衛(wèi)軍包圍了現(xiàn)在捷克共和國(guó)的首都布拉格市附近的利迪策村，槍殺了16歲以上男性公民140多人，全部嬰兒和婦女被押往集中營(yíng)，另外有90名兒童被押往波蘭的一個(gè)集中營(yíng)(其中只有17人活到戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)結(jié)束)。村里所有的房舍、建筑物均被燒 毀或被鏟土機(jī)夷為平地。就這樣，一個(gè)好好的村莊被法西斯黨衛(wèi)軍毀滅了。為了悼念利迪策村和全世界所有在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中死難的兒童，反對(duì)帝國(guó)主義戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)販子虐殺、毒害兒童，保障兒童的權(quán)利，1949年11月在蘇聯(lián)首都莫斯科召開(kāi)的國(guó)際民主婦女聯(lián)合會(huì)理事會(huì)通過(guò)一項(xiàng)決議，正式?jīng)Q定每年的6月1日為全世界兒童的節(jié)日，即"六一"國(guó)際兒童節(jié)。

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

　　目前世界上不少國(guó)家將6月1日定為兒童的節(jié)日，稱為"國(guó)際兒童節(jié)"。然而，在歐美國(guó)家，兒童節(jié)的日期各不相同，而且往往很少舉行社會(huì)公眾性的慶祝活動(dòng)

　　第二種說(shuō)法：

　　The International Children's Day had its origin in Turkey in 1920 (April 23, 1920) and later in the World Conference in Geneva, Switzerland,which 54 representatives from different countries gathered together to convene the first "World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children" in 1925.

　　最早過(guò)六一兒童節(jié)的國(guó)家是土耳其，他們?cè)?920年就開(kāi)始了。1925年，在日內(nèi)瓦國(guó)際會(huì)議上，瑞士等54個(gè)國(guó)家共同召開(kāi)了主題為“讓孩子們更幸福全球會(huì)議”。

　　It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the International Children's Day: 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.

　　之所以把6月1日作為國(guó)際兒童節(jié)，一種說(shuō)法是1925年，中國(guó)駐美國(guó)的總領(lǐng)事曾在舊金山領(lǐng)著一些中國(guó)孤兒慶祝端午節(jié)。那一年的端午節(jié)剛好是6月1日，發(fā)生的時(shí)間與之前的日內(nèi)瓦會(huì)議相符。

　　目前世界上不少國(guó)家將6月1日定為兒童的節(jié)日，稱為"國(guó)際兒童節(jié)"。然而，在歐美國(guó)家，兒童節(jié)的日期各不相同，而且往往很少舉行社會(huì)公眾性的慶?；顒?dòng)。
