母亲节的故事

今天是国际母亲节。你知道母亲节是谁最先提议设立的？你知道母亲节在美国是那一年定为法定节日的吗？是那位美国总统宣布母亲节为法定节日的？


Where did the idea for the holiday come from? We should thank Miss Anna M Jarvis. It is she who brought up the idea of having such a day. She lived in West Virginia. Her Mother died on May 9, 1905. On the anniversary after her mother's death, she invited some friends to informal memorial meeting.

In 1907, a church service was held on her mother's death anniversary, Miss Anna M Jarvis' love for her mother moved other people. Besides, she wrote letters to important person suggesting a public holiday to honor all mothers. In 1913, the United States Congress agreed that the second Sunday in May be made Mother's Day. Finally, the decision was announced by President Wilson.

向母亲和父亲致敬!

在美国，人们在五月的第二个星期天庆祝母亲节。这天是纪念母亲的日子。在那一天，母亲们通常会收到花朵和卡片。孩子们在卡片上写着“谢谢您，妈妈，”“献给世界上最好的母亲”等话语。

母亲节是怎么产生的呢？我们得感谢安娜.M.贾维丝小姐，是她提出了确立这么一天为节日的想法。她居住在西弗吉尼亚。她母亲逝世于1905年5月9日，在她母亲逝世周年纪念日那天，她邀请了一些朋友来参加一次非正式的悼念会。1907年，在她母亲逝世周年纪念日，教堂举行了仪式来悼念她母亲。

安娜.M.贾维斯小姐对母亲的爱感动了其他人。此外，她还写信给重要人士，倡议确立一个公共节日来纪念所有的母亲。1913年，美国国会决定将五月的第二个星期天定为母亲节。最后，威尔逊总统宣布了这一决定。

在母亲节，孩子们送礼物给他们的母亲，或者全家出游。他们尽量做到让母亲满意。

然而，在美国也有父亲节。那是在六月的第三个星期天。人们也设法向所有的父亲致敬。

献给母亲的英文歌曲
Mama how do I begin
To explain this situation weˇre in
Angels heard the beautiful words
That you prayed
And showed me the way to you
And they knew you were in love
So they sent me down from heaven above
Angels cried and kissed me goodbye
I was long gone ? this is my song to you
Oh, my song could never be
As sweet as the song you sing to me
Oh, my love could never be
As deep as the love you give to me
When your fingers touch my skin
And you kiss my lips and tickle my chin
I breathe you in, oh mama Iˇm where I belong
This is my song to you
Oh, my song could never be
As sweet as the song you sing to me
Oh, my love could never be
As deep as the love you give to me
Oh, one day I will be grown
And I know Iˇll have a child on my own
Remember me this way, cause some day
Iˇll be long gone ? singing my song to you
Oh, my song could never be
As sweet as the song you sing to me
Oh, my love could never be
As deep as the love you give to me
