5月的第二个星期天,做子女的美国人, 无论年龄大小,都要向自己的母亲表达他们真诚的感激之情。英国是最早设立感谢母亲的日子的国家之一。在18世纪的时候,许多人在富人家当佣人,星期天就是他们回家看母亲的“省亲星期日”。后来工业革命改变了人们的工作和生活模式,这一习俗也就终止了。不过, 在20世纪里仍有一个星期天被定为母亲们的节日。 On the second Sunday in May, Americans who have children, regardless of their age, must express their sincere gratitude to their mothers. Britain was one of the first countries to establish a day of thanks for mothers. In the 18th century, many people were maids on the rich. On Sundays, they came home to see their mother’s “pro-Sunday.” Later, the industrial revolution changed people’s work and life patterns, and this custom ceased. However, there was still one Sunday in the 20th century that was designated as a mother’s holiday.
