介绍:
5.Mother's Day 母亲节
[00:02.14]Does your mother know how much you appreciate her?
[00:05.91]Well, Mother's Day is the time to show her.
[00:09.94]It's a chance to say 'thank you',
[00:12.69]or to tell your mum how much you love her.
[00:15.28]In Britain, Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday,
[00:19.85]falls on a different day each year,
[00:22.80]because it takes place a few weeks
[00:25.19]before the festival of Easter.
[00:27.17]But it is always in the early springtime,
[00:30.13]which seems appropriate,
[00:31.96]as the season when new plants emerge,
[00:34.35]and baby birds and animals are born.
[00:37.24]In the USA, Mother's Day takes place a little later, in May,
[00:43.04]and many other countries also celebrate
[00:45.59]their mothers on different days of the year.
[00:48.48]It began many years ago, when children,
[00:52.57]especially girls, as young as 10
[00:55.07]would live and work away from home
[00:57.51]as housemaids and other types of servant.
[01:00.30]Mothering Sunday was a day when everyone was allowed
[01:04.53]to go to their home village or town, and visit their mothers.
