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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

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。

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.

三毛曾写过一篇《守望的天使》，文章说，每个人生命中最真最诚的天使是自己的父母，天使终其一生舍尽全力来为自己的孩子挡风遮雨。在犹太人的谚语里，也有一句类似的表述，而且更为精辟：

God could not be everywhere and therefore be made mothers.

母亲节就要到了，今天我们来欣赏一首美籍黎巴嫩作家纪伯伦(Khalil Gibran)的诗：致我们终将远离的子女。这是一首充满哲理和智慧的诗，让我们重新思考孩子与父母的关系，也重新思考生命……

On Children

Khalil Gibran

Your children are not your children.

你的儿女，其实不是你的儿女。

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。

They come through you but not from you,

他们借助你来到这个世界，却非因你而来，

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

他们在你身旁，却并不属于你。

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的想法，

For they have their own thoughts.

因为他们有自己的思想。

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦也无法达到的明天。

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

你可以拼尽全力，变得像他们一样，却不要让他们变得和你一样，

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

你是弓，儿女是从你那里射出的箭。

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,

弓箭手望着未来之 路上的箭靶，

and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

他用尽力气将你拉开，使他的箭射得又快又远。

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

怀着快乐的心情，在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧，

For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

因为他爱一路飞翔的箭，也爱无比稳定的弓。
