感谢收听,期待你对本期节目的评论留言哦~ History of Mother's Day and  Beautiful Greeting Words 母亲节的由来和祝福语 一、Beautiful Greeting Words祝福语 每年5月的第二个星期日是母亲节(Mother's Day),对母亲想说的:世上最美好的事是我已经长大,你还未老,希望妈妈永远是辣妈! 那你知道“辣妈”的英文怎么说?Mike老迈告诉你:辣妈的英文是Yummy mummy。 Yummy mummy is a slang term used in the United Kingdom to describe young, attractive and wealthy mother. This term developed in the late 20th century, and was often applied to celebrity mothers such as Victoria Beckham, who appeared to quickly regain their pre-pregnancy figures after giving birth, and would continue to lead carefree and affluent lifestyles.   翻译 yummy mummy是英国俚语,始用于20世纪。用来形容那些年轻,有吸引力,富有的妈妈。辣妈常常被用在那些生产后很快恢复身材,并能持续引领无忧无虑和富裕的生活方式。其中,yummy是美味、令人喜爱的意思,而mummy是口语中的“妈咪”的叫法。  妈妈,我不能想象没有你的日子我该怎样的活。我只知道,没有了你我的灵魂将无处皈依,故乡也就再也毫无意义,请你在岁月里慢一点老去。 ………………………… To the world’s number one mom! 给世界上最好的妈妈! You are the best mom that a son ever had。 您是儿子心中最好的妈妈。 Here’s a little token of my appreciation for all that you have done for me over the years。这是我一点小小的心意,感谢您这么多年来所付出的一切。 Sometimes it may not seem like it, but I really do love you. 有时候好像不是这样,但是我真的爱您。  There may be moms all over the world, but you’re the only one that matters to me。 全世界也许到处都有妈妈,但您是我惟一最在意的。   Thank you for everything over the years, mom。 妈妈,谢谢您这些年来所做的一切。  Moms should get more than a special day, they should get a medal of honor. 妈妈们应该得到的不只是一个节日,她们该获得荣誉勋章。   This is the day that we appreciate all the things that moms do for us. Thank you 。 在这个日子里,我们感谢妈妈为我们所做的一切。谢谢您。 We may not be angels all of the time, but we do appreciate what you do。 我们也许不是一直都像天使那样乖巧,但我们确实感谢您的教诲。 Thanks for being there, mom. Happy Mother's Day。 谢谢您不断地扶持我。祝您母亲节快乐。  Mom, I just want to let you know that you are always in my thoughts. 妈妈,我只是想让您知道,您一直都在我的心中。   To the most patient and understanding person I know. Thanks for being there. Happy Mother’s Day。 给我所体会到的最有耐心、最明理的人。谢谢您一直在那里支持我。母亲节快乐。 二、History of Mother's Day母亲节由来   In the U.S. Mothers' Day is a holiday celebrated on second Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. First observance in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1907, it is based on suggestions by Julia Ward Howe in 1872 and by Anna Jarvis in 1907.   Although it wasn't celebrated in the U.S. until 1907, there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Rhea, the Mother of the gods that was given honor.   Later, in the 1600's, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday." It was celebrated during June, on the fourth Sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion. In the U.S., in 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. The next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.   Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. They were successful. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.   Many other countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year. Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May, as in the U.S. 译文: 母亲节的由来 在美国,人们在五月的第二个星期天庆祝母亲节。在这一天,孩子们把卡片,礼物和鲜花献给他们的母亲。第一次庆祝母亲节是发生在1907 年的费城,是由朱莉娅·瓦德·豪和安妮塔·贾威斯分别在 1872 年和 1907 年提议设立的。 虽然美国直到 1907 年才庆祝母亲节,但是尊敬母亲的节日甚至可以追溯到古希腊。尽管那时人们是庆祝上帝的母亲罗伊的。 后来, 在17世纪初的英格兰,人们有一个惯例,就是在每年六月的第四个星期天庆祝“母亲节”。在母亲节那一天, 通常与雇主住在一起的仆人了, 被劝说回家和他们的母亲团聚。按照惯例,他们要带一块特殊的蛋糕回家庆祝。 在美国, 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,贾维斯说服了她母亲的教派,在她母亲去世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。下一年费城也庆祝了母亲节。 贾维斯和其它人开始给部长,商人,以及政治家们写信,要求建立全国性的母亲节。他们取得了成功。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。 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。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!
