母亲节 Mother's Day

   

      母亲节(Mother's Day) ,是一个感谢母亲的节日。这个节日最早出现在古希腊;而现代的母亲节起源于美国。1907年有一个来自费城的叫阿纳·贾 维斯的人,发起了一场建立全国的母亲节的运动。在西弗吉尼亚的格拉夫顿,贾维斯说服她母亲的教堂,在母亲去世 2周年的纪念日那一天庆祝母亲节,即五月的第二个星期天。之后的下一年,费城也庆祝了母亲节。贾维斯和其他人开始给部长, 商人, 以及政治家们写信, 要求建立全国性的母亲节,最后取得了成功。 1914年在任的伍德罗·威尔森总统,向全国发布官方通告,宣布在每年五月的第二个星期天庆祝母亲节,并使之成为一种传统。

      现在,世界上许多其它国家在全年的不同时间庆祝他们自己的母亲节。其中丹麦,芬兰,意大利,土耳其, 澳大利亚,以及比利时同美国一样,在五月的第二个星期天庆祝母亲节。母亲节逐渐成为世界范围的传统节日。

      通常,母亲们,在这一天通常会收到鲜花或礼物。康乃馨被视为献给母亲的花,而中国的母亲花是萱草花,又叫忘忧草 。

      奉上三首关于母亲的英文诗:

                    【1】

  M is for the things she gave me.

  O means she grows old.

  T is for the tears

  H is her heart.

  E is for eyes.

  R means right and right always be.

  Mother's love is like a circle .

  It has no beginning and no ending.

  Mother,What a nice word, what a great name? I love you so much.

                  【2】

  Mom!Should you be the water,

  I would be a fish

  Swimming and swimming

  Around you

  Mom!Should you be wind

  I would be feather

  Flying and flying

  Abreast you

  Mom!Should you be the blue sky

  I would be a white cloud.

  Moving and moving

  Amid you

  Oh, mom

  That's you and me!

                    【3】

  I Love You, Mom

  ... and I Want You to Know Why I Feel So Proud to Be Your Daughter

  You are a remarkable woman

  who accomplishes so much as a

  strong woman

  in a man's world

  You are strong but soft

  You are strong but caring

  You are strong but compassionate

  You are a remarkable woman

  who accomplishes so much as a

  giving woman

  in a selfish world

  You give to your friends

  You give to your family

  You give to everyone

  You are a remarkable woman

  who is also a remarkable moTHEr

  And you are loved by so many people

      whose lives you have touched -

  especially me
