儿童节英语作文：儿童节的起源

The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: 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.

　　June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all), and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1.

ICD有它的起源在世界儿童的福祉的会议在日内瓦,1925年瑞士。目前尚不清楚为什么6月1日被选为ICD:一种理论认为中国总领事在旧金山(美国)聚集大量的中国孤儿在1925年庆祝端午节,这是6月1日那一年,恰逢在日内瓦会议。
ICD的6月1日已经观察到许多国家,尤其是共产主义国家,在西方世界的庆祝ICD通常是在其他任何一天(如果有的话),通常是没有公众对这些庆祝活动。(请参阅下面的部分德国进一步讨论)。因此有时有误解,6月1日ICD是一个共产主义的发明。尽管如此,近年来甚至一些团体在美国开始观察ICD 6月1日。
