The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland proclaimed June 1 to be International Children's Day in1925. 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.
1925年的时候，瑞士日内瓦国际会议上将6月1日设为“国际儿童节”。为什么是6月1日这个日子呢？事实上并没有一个相对准确的答案。一种说法认为：由于1925年，位于美国旧金山的中国总领事将一群中国孤儿召集在一起庆祝端午节，而当天正好是6月1日。
The holiday is celebrated on 1 June each year. It is usually marked with speeches on children's rights and wellbeing, children TV programs, parties, various actions involving or dedicated to children, families going out, etc.
每年的6.1儿童节，会以发表关于儿童权利、福利的演说，播放儿童电视节目、举办各种派对、活动，举家出游等方式来进行庆祝。
Universal Children's Day takes place on November 20 annually. First proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children.
国际儿童日是每年的11月20日，1954年的联合国大会上，这个节日的提出是为了推动所有国家都设立一个专门的日子来：首先，促进各国儿童之间的交流和沟通；其次，通过采取行动来提升各国儿童的福利。
