为什么儿童节？ Children's Day？

在许多场合，kid=child 两者可以互换。都指儿童、儿童、未成年，在家庭关系中，都指儿童。

child：是 children 在法律意义上，单数形式是指18岁以下的未成年人，生物学上指青春期前的儿童。

kid：它是一种用于儿童的俚语，在任何学术或专业领域用。因此，作为一个正式场合使用的节日名称，当然是 Children's Day 啦。

两者的本质区别在于：kid属于非正式（informal）口语表达，child是正规的(formal)书面表达。

因此，当一个国际节日——六一儿童节被选词命名时，自然会选择更正式的节日children（child复数)。

kid——提到kid，看美剧的时候，我们会发现他们特别喜欢用kid称呼比自己小的人，即使对方已经成年。kid就等于是son儿童，年轻人，大多是长辈对年轻一代的亲切称谓，有一种语重心长、殷切鼓励的感觉。

Buck up, kid! It's not the end of the game.

年轻人，振作起来！

child——它经常用于正式场合，如文学作品和官方文件，如前南非总统Mandela曼德拉的名言：The true character of a society is revealed in how it treats its children.一个社会的本质，看它对待孩子的方式可以看到它的全景。

但是在口语中，child还有一层隐喻，形容大人像孩子一样幼稚，不懂事(贬义)。

He's such a child if he doesn't get his own way.

假如不按他的想法来，他就会像个孩子一样胡闹。

儿童节的由来

国际儿童节的设立与二战期间发生的一次著名的残杀有关。1942年6月，德国法西斯枪杀了140多名16岁以上的男性公民策村男性公民，并将妇女和90名儿童押入集中营。村里的房屋、建筑都被烧毁了，一个好的村庄就这样被德国法西斯破坏了。二战结束后，世界各地的经济萧条，成千上万的工人失业，过着饥寒交迫的生活。儿童的情况更糟，有的患有传染病，一批批死亡；有的被迫做童工，饱受折磨，生活和生活得不到保障。1949年11月，国际民主妇女联合会在莫斯科举行理事会，悼念利迪策村和全世界所有在法西斯侵略战争中丧生的儿童。为了保护世界各地儿童的生存权、保健权和受教育权，为了改善儿童的生活，会议决定在6月的第一天为国际儿童节，当时利迪策村被杀。当时很多国家都同意，尤其是社会主义国家。
