 　　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 awareness1 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.

　　美国爱儿童日创建于2004年。全国爱儿童日会在四月份的第一个周六举行。该节日的目的是为了对美国儿童表示庆祝，让人们重视“爱中成长”的重要性。该节日希望促进家庭关系，增强人们对保护儿童免受社会负面危害的意识。许多人认为每天都应该是爱儿童日。对于全球许多儿童来说，的确如此。然而，全球仍有上百万儿童遭遇不幸，他们的童年没有爱与关怀。当孩子们成为人父人母时，一个健康、快乐、随遇而安的儿童将会是未来社会安全的基础。
　　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 Mayor2 Michael Bloomberg also had words of advice. He said: “All of our children deserve3 the love, encouragement, and respect they need to reach their full potential today and every day of the year.”
　　全国爱儿童日由非营利组织“美国爱儿童组织”发起。该组织为全美儿童组织活动，并让他们感受到不同。该网站建议我们：“花时间与儿童和青少年在一起！给予他们更多特殊关怀。带他们去看电影、打游戏、集会、听演唱会、购物或是出去吃午餐。一起做一些特殊的事情，或是为他们买一些他们盼望已久的物品，这些仅仅是因为你爱他们！”纽约市长迈克尔·布隆伯格提出了自己的建议。他称：“儿童需要爱、鼓励和尊重，而这些也是他们充分发挥潜力，过好未来每一天的前提。”
