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.

在美国，大家是在五月的第二个星期日庆祝母亲节。这一天，孩子们把卡片、礼物和鲜花献给他们的母亲。庆祝母亲节这活动是在1907的费城开始，由朱莉娅·瓦德·豪1872和安妮塔·贾威斯1907提出设立的。

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.

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。

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.

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“省亲节”。在省亲节那一天, 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。

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.

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堂，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。

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.

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。

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.

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天庆祝母亲节。

每年的母亲节在人们心中最容易产生共鸣，是一个感性和怀念的日子。我们再来看一下英文报道学几个单词！

The second Sunday in May is Mother's Day.

Mother's day is a special time. It is the day we get to spoil, pamper and lavish our mother with all that we can come up with.

It is a day to enjoy and celebrate all the things that mother has done. It is her day. Make her the queen and you will feel great. She will know that she is loved. That is what Mother's day is all about.

每年五月的第二个星期天是母亲节。

母亲节是个独特的节日。这一天是我们名正言顺地宠爱母亲、纵容母亲或为母亲一掷千金的日子。

这是一个向母亲表示感恩的节日，感激她一年来所做的一切。这是属于她的节日。所以，让她成为这一天的女王吧，你也会觉得很快乐的。她也会感到自己是被爱的——这就是母亲节的真正意义。

文中的Mother's Day就是“母亲节”的意思。现代的母亲节起源于美国，威尔逊总统于1915年宣布，将五月的第二个星期日设立为母亲节，而康乃馨（carnation）被视为献给母亲的花卉。In China, mother lily flower flower, also known as Wang Youcao.而我国的母亲花是萱草花，又叫忘忧草。

文中的lavish用作动词，意为“慷慨给予，花费”，如：My mother always lavishes us with attention.（妈妈对我们关怀得无微不至。），也可以用作形容词，意为“豪华的，过度的”，如：She was not used to their lavish mode of living.（她不习惯他们奢侈的生活方式。）
