Does your mother know how much you appreciate her? Well, Mother’s Day is the time to show her. It’s a chance to say ‘thank you’, or to tell your mum how much you love her.
你母亲知道你有多感激她吗？母亲节是向她展示的时候了。母亲节提供了一个机会让你对妈妈说“谢谢”，或者告诉她你有多爱她。
In Britain, Mother’s Day, or Mothering Sunday, falls on a different day each year, because it takes place a few weeks before the festival of Easter. But it is always in the early springtime, which seems appropriate, as the season when new plants emerge, and baby birds and animals are born. In the USA, Mother’s Day takes place a little later, in May, and many other countries also celebrate their mothers on different days of the year.
在英国，母亲节或者母亲节周日，每年会是在不同的一天，因为它发生在复活节前几周。但它总是在早春，这似乎是很合适的，因为春季里植物发芽，幼鸟和动物诞生。在美国，母亲节是在5月稍晚的时候，而许多其他国家在一年中的不同日子庆祝母亲节。
It began many years ago, when children, especially girls, as young as 10 would live and work away from home as housemaids and other types of servant. Mothering Sunday was a day when everyone was allowed to go to their home village or town, and visit their mothers.
母亲节开始于多年前，当时年仅10岁的儿童，特别是女孩，就会离开家作为佣人或其他类型的仆人去外面工作和生活。而星期天才允许每个人回到家乡，看望母亲。
So what do we do now to celebrate Mother’s Day? Well the easiest and cheapest option is to send a greetings card. Small children might make their mother a hand-made card or draw a picture, which their mother will treasure even more.
那么我们现在如何来庆祝母亲节呢？最简单也是最便宜的方式是送贺卡。小孩子可能会给他们的母亲手工制作一张卡片或画一张图片，他们的母亲往往会倍加珍惜这些卡片。
Often people send bouquets of flowers or pot-plants to their mothers – Mother’s Day is probably one of the most lucrative times of the year for florists. All the spring flowers are available, such as daffodils and tulips, or you can choose your mum’s favourite blooms.
人们经常向他们的母亲送花束或盆栽植物 - 母亲节可能是花店一年中利润最丰厚的时期之一。春天里所有的花都可以，如水仙花和郁金香，你也可以选择妈妈最喜欢的花。
Other presents such as boxes of chocolates or expensive toiletries are also popular. But what most mothers would enjoy most is a visit from their grown-up offspring, especially if you live a long way away.
其他礼物，如巧克力或昂贵的洗浴用品也很受欢迎。但大多数母亲最喜欢的是成年子女能够这一天回家，特别是你住在很远的地方的话。
Many people take their mothers out for lunch to celebrate, or if you are very generous, you might treat your mum to a special day out. This might be a visit to the theatre, a shopping trip, or perhaps a pampering spa day to rest and relax. Whatever you do, it should show your mother how much she means to you.
很多人带他们的母亲去吃午饭来庆祝节日，如果你条件允许的话，也可以带你的妈妈去些特别的地方，例如去看电影或演出，来一场购物之旅，或者是休闲放松的温泉洗浴。无论做什么，你都应该让你的母亲感受到她对你有多么的重要。
