關於母親節的由來英文版：
The second Sunday in May has been set aside in honor of motherhood. Many churches have special services in which they honor Mothers of the congregation. They usually present the oldest Mom, youngest Mom, and Mom with the most children a corsage.There is a custom of wearing a carnation on Mother's Day. A colored carnation means that the person's Mother is living. A white carnation indicates that a person's mom is dead.Years ago, England observed what they called Mothering Sunday. It came in Mid-Lent.The first suggestion for a day set aside to honor Mothers was made by Julia Ward Howe. She suggested that it be observed on June 2, as a day dedicated to peace.Julia was born in 1819 in New York to a prominent family. She was an American writer, lecturer, and reformer. She was known as one of the most famous women of her time. She wrote "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", which was inspired when she visited military camps in Washington, D.C., during the Civil War in 1861. It became the major war song of the Union forces.Julia became interested in the women's movement. She became the first president of the New England Woman Sufferage Association.Three years after Frank Hering of Indiana launched his campagin for observance of Mother's Day in 1904, Anna Jarvis began a campaign to a nationwide obervance of Mother's Day. She chose the second Sunday in May. She also began the custom of wearing the carnation.Jarvis' own Mother was honored on the first service at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton,West Virginia, on May 10, 1908. Later, at the general assembly in 1912, a delegate from Andrews Church introduced a resolution recognizing Jarvis as the founder of Mother's Day, and suggested that Mother's Day be observed on the second Sunday in May.President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint resolution in Congress on May 9, 1914, recommending that the federal government observe Mother's day. The next year, the president was authorized to proclaim an annual holiday.關於母親節的由來中英文翻譯。
關於母親節的由來中文版：
母親節(Mother's Day)，作為一個感謝母親的節日，節日起源於古希臘。在這一天，古希臘人向希臘眾神之母希布莉(Cybele，宙斯、波塞冬、哈德斯、得墨忒耳、赫拉和赫斯提亞的母親，故稱眾神之母)致敬。到古羅馬時，這些活動的規模就變得更大，慶祝盛況往往持續達三天之久。當然，古時人們對女神的崇拜只不過是一種迷信，它同今天人們對母性的尊敬是大不相同的。在17世紀中葉，母親節流傳到英國，英國人把封齋期的第四個星期天作為母親節。在這一天裡，出門在外的年輕人將回到家中，給他們的母親帶上一些小禮物。母親節是在中國港澳臺地區流行起來之後才進入大陸的，名貴的珠寶，象徵母愛的康乃馨，特製的愛心甜點，精緻的手工賀卡等，成為人們向母親敬獻愛意的禮物。20世紀80年代，母親節逐漸被中國內地的民眾所接受。從1988年開始，中國南方的廣州等一些城市開始舉辦母親節的慶祝活動，並把評選「好母親」作為內容之一。20世紀末,隨著中國與國際的日益接軌，母親節這一節日在中國大陸各地日益推廣開來，越來越多的人開始接受母親節概念，在每年5月的第二個星期日，中國人和全世界其他國家的人們一道以各種各樣的方式表達對母親養育之恩的感謝。當然，中國人的母親節更有中國味道。中國人以自己特有的方式表達濃濃的親情，在母親節這一天，人們會送給母親鮮花,蛋糕,親手烹製的飯菜等等禮物。從小就孝敬父母的中國兒童會嘗試著為母親做飯，洗臉，化妝，演奏音樂，繪製圖畫，讓母親們快樂地過節。人們在這一天除了孝敬自己的生身母親之外，還會以慈善募捐，志願服務的方式向更多的母親回報親情。關於母親節的由來中英文翻譯。
