本期音频:英文话儿童节--Traditions of International Childrens Day 儿童节的传统
Hello everyone, Welcome to WendyEnglishTimes, 欢迎来到Wendy的英语时光,英文话儿童节,今天我们来聊聊儿童节的传统Traditions of International Childrens Day。
PART.ONE
History of International Childrens Day
国际儿童节的历史
The origin of this holiday goes back to 1925 when representatives from different countries met in Geneva, Switzerland to convene the first "World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children". After the conference, some governments around the world designated a day as Childrens Day to highlight childrens issues. There was no specific date recommended, so countries used whatever date was most relevant to their culture. The date of June 1st is used by many ex-Soviet countries as The International Day for Protection of Children.
这个节日的起源可以追溯到1925年,当时来自不同国家的代表在瑞士日内瓦召开了第一届“世界儿童福利大会”。会议结束后,世界各地的一些政府决定指定一天作为儿童节,以强调儿童问题。由于没有规定具体的日期,所以各国选择与其文化最为契合的日期进行庆祝。而6月1日被许多前苏联国家用作“国际保护儿童日”。
With the creation of World Childrens Day, UN member states recognized children, regardless of race, colour, gender, religion and national or social origin, the right to affection, love, understanding, adequate food, medical care, free education, protection against all forms of exploitation and growing in a climate of universal peace and brotherhood.
随着世界儿童日的设立,联合国会员国承认,无论种族、肤色、性别、宗教、民族或社会出身如何,儿童都有权获得亲情、爱、理解、充足的食物、医疗保健、免费教育、以及免受一切剥削的保护,并成长在和平与相亲相爱的氛围中。

Mankind Owes to Children the Best That It Has to Give
人类应该给孩子最好的东西
In 1959, the United Nations adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which was based on the structure and contents of the Geneva Declaration and reaffirmed that "mankind owes to the child the best it has to give." This new declaration set forth 10 principles to safeguard children before as well as after birth and laid the groundwork for the adoption of the Convention of the Rights of the Child in 1989, the most rapidly and widely ratified international human rights treaty in history.
1959年,联合国以《日内瓦宣言》的结构和内容为基础,通过了《儿童权利宣言》,重申“人类应将其所拥有的最好的东西给予孩子们”。这一新的宣言提出了保护儿童的10项原则,并为1989年通过《儿童权利公约》奠定了基础。《公约》是历史上得到最迅速和最广泛批准的国际人权条约。
The Declaration of the Rights of the Child lays down ten principles:
《儿童权利宣言》规定了十项原则:
The right to equality, without distinction on account of race, religion or national origin.

How to observe Children’s Day?
如何庆祝儿童节?
Children’s Day is celebrated with plays and events, free admission for children fairs and festivals, concerts, shows, and social activities. There’s a lot of ice cream, balloons, and smiles for the children. Often on Children’s Day there are competitions for children’s drawings or events for face-painting for children. Thus children can spend some time in the shoes of their favorite characters for a while and take pictures as keepsakes.
