世界節(jié)假日博覽 第64期:全國愛兒童日

　　National Love Our Children Day began in America in 2004. It falls on the first Saturday in April. Its aim is to honour and celebrate America’s children and stress the importance of love as they grow up. It also wants to promote the strengthening of families and raise awareness of the need to protect children from the harmful sides of society. Some people could argue that every day should be Love Our Children Day. For many children around the world, this is true. However, there are millions of other children who are less fortunate and grow up without a loving and caring childhood. Healthy, happy and well-adjusted children provide the basis for a safe society for future generations when they become parents.

　　美國愛兒童日創(chuàng)建于2004年。全國愛兒童日會在四月份的第一個周六舉行。該節(jié)日的目的是為了對美國兒童表示慶祝，讓人們重視“愛中成長”的重要性。該節(jié)日希望促進家庭關(guān)系，增強人們對保護兒童免受社會負面危害的意識。許多人認為每天都應(yīng)該是愛兒童日。對于全球許多兒童來說，的確如此。然而，全球仍有上百萬兒童遭遇不幸，他們的童年沒有愛與關(guān)懷。當(dāng)孩子們成為人父人母時，一個健康、快樂、隨遇而安的兒童將會是未來社會安全的基礎(chǔ)。

　　National Love Our Children Day was started by the non-profit organization Love Our Children USA. It helps to organize events across America to make children feel special. Their website advises us to: “Spend the day with the children and teens in your life! Shower them with special attention. Take them to a movie, game, fair, concert, shopping or out to lunch. Do something special together or buy them something they've been wanting for a long time - just because you love them!” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg also had words of advice. He said: “All of our children deserve the love, encouragement, and respect they need to reach their full potential today and every day of the year.”

　　全國愛兒童日由非營利組織“美國愛兒童組織”發(fā)起。該組織為全美兒童組織活動，并讓他們感受到不同。該網(wǎng)站建議我們：“花時間與兒童和青少年在一起!給予他們更多特殊關(guān)懷。帶他們?nèi)タ措娪?、打游戲、集會、聽演唱會、購物或是出去吃午餐。一起做一些特殊的事情，或是為他們買一些他們盼望已久的物品，這些僅僅是因為你愛他們!”紐約市長邁克爾·布隆伯格提出了自己的建議。他稱：“兒童需要愛、鼓勵和尊重，而這些也是他們充分發(fā)揮潛力，過好未來每一天的前提。”
