母亲节快乐!(Happy Mother's Day!)
在母亲节,我们庆祝母亲和母亲形象在我们生活中的宝贵作用。这个节日于1908年在美国首次庆祝,后来于1914年获得联邦承认。安娜·贾维斯(Anna Jarvis)带头将其定为国家假日,尽管她后来对其“商业化”表示不满。世界各地都在庆祝这一特殊的日子,以表达对他们众多贡献的赞赏,每种文化都有其独特的传统。无论我们是用买来的、做出来的还是说出来的手势来表达我们的感激之情,今天都是对那些给予我们奉献、耐心和无私爱的女性表示感激的一天。

On Mother's Day we celebrate the invaluable role of mothers and maternal figures in our lives. The holiday was first celebrated in the US in 1908 and later was given federal recognition in 1914. Anna Jarvis led efforts to have it designated as a national holiday, though she later expressed displeasure with its' commercialisation. This special day is observed around the world to show appreciation for their many contributions, with each culture adding its unique traditions. Whether we show our appreciation with a gesture bought, made or spoken, today is a day to show appreciation for the women who have given us their dedication, patience and selfless love.
