星期四是六一儿童节。下午，我一个人在家里闲得慌，便查起了六一儿童节的由来。
Thursday is June 1 children's day. In the afternoon, I was alone at home and I got to know the origin of children's day.
原来，六一节是那是在第二次世界大战期间，1942年6月，德国法西斯枪杀了捷克利迪策村16岁以上的男性公民140余人和全部婴儿，并把妇女和90名儿童押往集中营。村里的房舍、建筑物均被烧毁，好端端的一个村庄就这样被德国法西斯给毁了。
In June 1942, German fascists shot and killed more than 140 male citizens over the age of 16 and all infants in liditzer village, Czech Republic, and took women and 90 children to the concentration camp. Houses and buildings in the village were burned down, and a good village was thus destroyed by German Fascism.
为了悼念利迪策村和全世界所有在法西斯侵略战争中死难的儿童，反对帝国主义战争贩子虐杀和毒害儿童，保障儿童权利，1949年11月国际民主妇女联合会在莫斯科召开执委会，正式决定每年6月1日为全世界少年儿童的节日，即国际儿童节。
In order to mourn the death of children in liditzer village and all over the world in the fascist war of aggression, oppose the maltreatment and poisoning of children by imperialist warmongers, and protect children's rights, the Executive Committee of the International Federation of democratic women held in Moscow in November 1949 formally decided that June 1 of each year would be the international children's day.
新中国成立后，中央人民政府政务院于1949年12月23日作出决定，规定6月1日为新中国的儿童节，同时宣布废除旧中国国民党政府1931起实行的4月4日为儿童节的规定。
After the founding of the people's Republic of China, the executive yuan of the Central People's government made a decision on December 23, 1949, stipulating that June 1 was the children's day of the people's Republic of China, and at the same time announced the abolition of April 4, which was implemented by the old Kuomintang government since 1931.
目前，各国政府普遍关注儿童的未来，保护儿童的权益。联合国1990年通过的《儿童权利公约》，我国是参与制定国和签约国之一。在批准《儿童权利公约》的同一年，我国颁布了《中华人民共和国未成年人保护法》，这对维护少年儿童的权益起到了积极的作用。
At present, governments are generally concerned about the future of children and protect their rights and interests. The Convention on the rights of the child, which was adopted by the United Nations in 1990, is one of the participating countries. In the same year of ratification of the Convention on the rights of the child, China promulgated the law of the people's Republic of China on the protection of minors, which played a positive role in safeguarding the rights and interests of children.
为切实保障儿童健康成长，中国立法、司法、政府各有关部门以及社会团体都建立了相应的机构。在全国人民代表大会和中国人民政治协商会议内分别设有负责妇女儿童保障的立法和监督机构。国务院下设的妇女儿童工作委员会，负责协调和推动政府有关部门做好维护儿童权益的保障工作，为儿童办实事。
In order to ensure the healthy growth of children, China's legislative, judicial, government departments and social organizations have established corresponding institutions. In the National People's Congress and the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, there are legislative and supervisory bodies respectively responsible for the protection of women and children. The women's and children's Working Committee under the State Council is responsible for coordinating and promoting the relevant departments of the government to do a good job in safeguarding children's rights and interests and to do practical work for children.
这次六一节，我受益不浅。
