第二篇：母親節(jié),父親節(jié)

母親節(jié)和父親節(jié)

母親節(jié)，是一個(gè)感謝母親的節(jié)日。這個(gè)節(jié)日最早出現(xiàn)在古希臘；而現(xiàn)代的母親節(jié)起源于美國(guó)，是每年5月的第二個(gè)星期日。母親們?cè)谶@一天通常會(huì)收到禮物，康乃馨被視為獻(xiàn)給母親的花，而中國(guó)的母親花是萱草花，又叫忘憂草。

父親節(jié)，是一年中特別感謝父親的節(jié)日，是每年6月的第三個(gè)星期日。每個(gè)國(guó)家的父親節(jié)日期都不盡相同，也有各種的慶祝方式，大部分都與贈(zèng)送禮物家族聚餐或活動(dòng)有關(guān)。世界上有52個(gè)國(guó)家和地區(qū)是在6月的第三個(gè)星期日慶祝父親節(jié)。

在父親節(jié)這天，人們選擇特定的鮮花來(lái)表示對(duì)父親的敬意。人們選擇了佩戴白丁香，賓夕法尼亞人用蒲公英向父親表示致意。在父親節(jié)或父親的生日時(shí)贈(zèng)送父親的花，寓意父親的剛毅、親切而威嚴(yán)，表達(dá)對(duì)父親的敬意。

現(xiàn)在母親節(jié)與父親節(jié)也進(jìn)入了我們的國(guó)家，可以說(shuō)母親節(jié)與父親節(jié)已經(jīng)成為了我們國(guó)家年輕人的重要的節(jié)日了。在現(xiàn)在的社會(huì)里，我們的生活條件好了，我們的物質(zhì)生活富足了。我們?cè)撛谀赣H節(jié)與父親節(jié)送給父母些什么呢？我在思索，是送件華麗的衣服，還是請(qǐng)父母吃一頓豪華的大餐；是帶著父母去旅游，還是……

我們的父母都進(jìn)入了花甲之年，我感覺(jué)他們其實(shí)并不需要什么漂亮的衣服，他們也不需要豪華的大餐，那他們需要什么？

我感覺(jué)父母需要的是精神上的需求，他們需要孩子們能與自己在一起團(tuán)聚，他們也需要身心上的清靜?？墒乾F(xiàn)代的社會(huì)是一個(gè)物欲橫流的社會(huì)，人們之間缺乏理解，缺乏溫暖是很正常之事。那么我們?cè)摻o父母送什么才能讓父母得到需要之物呢？為了我們的責(zé)任，我想還是給父母送健康，送心情的愉悅，送心靈的放松之地吧。

于是我在咱們河南尋找那樣的地方，找啊找啊，終于發(fā)現(xiàn)了香格里拉.上河灣。他是一個(gè)美麗的地方，春天我來(lái)到那里。

不知不覺(jué)，春飄然而至，在漸漸泛綠的山丘上燃起了如火的春色，灼穿了冬日的沉沉寒意。輕柔的風(fēng)夾著濕潤(rùn)的芳香，輕輕拂過(guò)，那是春的旋律。

春是什么春是那明月清風(fēng)，柔媚清朗，在苔痕映照的靜寂林間，清冽纏綿的旋律翩然飄臨，希望伴著歌聲在陽(yáng)光中冉冉升起。春是那淡雨疏風(fēng)，薄霧濃云，籠住水邊清香的蔭影，生命在這朦朧凄迷的氛圍中孕育而生。

綠，到處是一片綠。綠的草，綠的樹，綠的林，綠的山，綠的世界?？矗≡陉?yáng)光照耀下的樹林，就像畫卷上翠綠欲流的林海。

快看！綠色的山坡上開滿了含苞欲放的各色小花，像給山岡鋪上了一塊彩色的絨毯……一只小蝴蝶還在和花兒嬉戲呢！這些花散發(fā)出來(lái)的芬芳，引來(lái)了一個(gè)天真的小姑娘，她衣服搭配的很協(xié)調(diào)，黃裙藍(lán)帽小紅鞋，乍一看去，就像春天里的小天使。綠葉還流著露似珍珠的雨滴，像是剛下過(guò)一場(chǎng)春雨。一滴大水珠包住了小姑娘，飄啊飄啊，飄到了一處風(fēng)景秀麗，環(huán)境幽雅的地方。這就是香格里拉.上河灣，這里的樹木抽出了新芽，也長(zhǎng)出了嫩綠的葉子，幾株高大挺拔的樹上面的樹葉已經(jīng)綴滿枝頭。一陣春風(fēng)吹來(lái)，柳葉晃動(dòng)著它那嫩綠的辮子，歌唱著春天的旋律。青山綠水總是撩人心魄的，因?yàn)槟切┰从诩冋孀匀坏念伾统砷L(zhǎng)；青枝綠葉總是懾人眸凝的，因?yàn)槟切┦甲栽伎蓯?ài)的生存和努力；朱顏綠發(fā)總是引人愔羨的，因?yàn)槟切o(wú)人可

六月父親節(jié)也會(huì)來(lái)到的，草長(zhǎng)鶯飛，綠肥紅瘦，著一襲淡綠的薄紗，染一地粉嫩淺白，攜一縷沁人的花香，與你相約芳草地！蝶兒站在野花的枝頭搖曳舞蹈，鳥兒棲在樹的葉尖上輕吟淺唱......讓我們帶著父母伴著一地的花草，看著蝶兒翩然起舞，聽(tīng)著鳥兒站在葉尖上唱歌。在這鳥語(yǔ)花香的世界里，比聽(tīng)上一段優(yōu)美的樂(lè)曲還愜意，意境里，神曠。即便是我們的心情有什么不快，都會(huì)隨之煙消云散，偷偷溜走，這時(shí)候的我們，已與大自然融為一體，與藍(lán)天白云、與青草綠葉、與蝶舞花香為伴，躺在松軟的草坪上，微微閉起眼睛，靜靜傾聽(tīng)大自然的聲音，與靈魂相約，任思緒飄渺，在心的另一端，尋夢(mèng)......陶醉！

或許，心再累，身臨其境，心懷、豁然開朗。

亦或許，我們帶著父母去旁邊的池塘，看魚兒戲水。各色各樣的魚自由自在的在她們自己的王國(guó)里快樂(lè)的游來(lái)游去，嬉戲耍鬧，你追我趕，生怕自己掉隊(duì)，個(gè)個(gè)都不甘示弱，而此時(shí)的我們，一定會(huì)和他們一起快樂(lè)著、開心著。靜觀、心怡。一個(gè)沉醉在這樣美妙意境里的女子，一切都那么寧?kù)o、那么自然優(yōu)雅 而美麗......看著，一對(duì)對(duì)、一雙雙，自由飛翔的蝶舞翩翩，綠了愛(ài)戀的滕蔓，五彩繽紛的野花，也便盈滿了心靈的釋懷，芳香馥郁，沁人心脾，任你怎么嗅都是絲絲的甜；暖日柔柔的春陽(yáng)，灑在身上，靜靜品讀，慢慢陶醉 而是別樣一份安恬在心中萌動(dòng)......五月六月份是父母親的節(jié)日，心香一縷，思緒恬靜。婉約一段墨香，與父母相約于芳草地和大自然擁抱——感受著你的情，吻著含羞的春陽(yáng)清顔歡逸，醉了父母、醉了孩子、也便醉了我！

這，何嘗不是一種美麗。盈握，一份淡然，輕語(yǔ)，歲月靜好。

香格里拉.上河灣這么美麗的地方，他在哪里呢？香格里拉.上河灣位于堯山5A級(jí)風(fēng)景區(qū)內(nèi)，地理位置優(yōu)勢(shì)明顯，緊鄰311國(guó)道，鄭堯高速直達(dá)，距擬建的魯山旅游機(jī)場(chǎng)僅8公里。項(xiàng)目門前清澈透明的沙河水川流不息，他背靠重巒疊嶂的伏牛山，空氣清新，負(fù)氧離子含量高達(dá)每立方厘米9800個(gè)。他附臨畫眉谷、珍珠潭、蝴蝶泉、上中下湯溫泉、六羊山、林彪地下指揮所、十八垛、堯山峽谷漂流、森海灣……等眾多旅游景點(diǎn)。

香格里拉.上河灣一期的電梯洋房（含多層、高層）銷勢(shì)強(qiáng)勁，更大占地規(guī)模、開發(fā)體量的高端物業(yè)——二期別墅項(xiàng)目正在規(guī)劃設(shè)計(jì)之中，另外產(chǎn)權(quán)式酒店也即將動(dòng)工建設(shè)。到那時(shí)候，我們來(lái)到堯山的香格里拉.上河灣，就會(huì)看到在幽靜的山林一套套歐式電梯洋房映入眼簾，讓人心神蕩漾。一幢幢具有鄉(xiāng)村風(fēng)情的精致別墅散落在蒼翠樹木的掩映之中，置身其中恍如遠(yuǎn)離了所有的都市塵囂，寧?kù)o幽遠(yuǎn)的感受令人神馳。

我就在這里給父母送一套自己的房子，可以說(shuō)是我們?nèi)胰说姆孔?。?dāng)我們身心疲憊時(shí)來(lái)到這里與父母團(tuán)聚，當(dāng)孩子放假時(shí)，帶著孩子領(lǐng)著媳婦來(lái)到這個(gè)山清水秀之地放松心靈，與父母共享天倫之樂(lè)。

關(guān)于父親節(jié)（Father's Day）

Father's Day，contrary to popular misconception，was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards.In fact when a “father's day” was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards！

Mrs.John B.Dodd，of Washington，first proposed the idea of a “father's day” in 1909.Mrs.Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father，William Smart.William Smart，a Civil War veteran，was widowed when his wife（Mrs.Dodd's mother）died in childbirth with their sixth child.Mr.Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state.It was after Mrs.Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.The first Father's Day was observed on June 19，1910 in Spokane Washington.At about the same time in various towns and cities across American other people were beginning to celebrate a “father's day.” In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day.Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father，but all men who act as a father figure.Stepfathers，uncles，grandfathers，and adult male friends are all honored on Father's Day.父親節(jié)(Father's Day)

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children.On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.The origin of Father’s Day is not clear.Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908.Others say the first Father’s Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington.The president of the Chicago branch of the Lions’ Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebrated the first Father’s Day with his organization in 1915;and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek’s own birthday!

Regardless of when the first true Father’s Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs.Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington.Mrs.Dodd felt that she had an outstanding father.He was a veteran of the Civil War.His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother.In 1909, Mrs.Dodd approached her own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father’s birthday.That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th.From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day.Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart.States and organizations began lobbying Congress to declare an annual Father’s Day.In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to “establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.” Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June.When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card.Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental.Most greeting cards are whimsical so fathers laugh when they open them.Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.Father’s Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure.Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father’s Day.輔助閱讀：

美國(guó)是少數(shù)幾個(gè)將“父親節(jié)”作為法定節(jié)日的國(guó)家之一。在六月的第三個(gè)星期天，全美國(guó)的父親都將收到禮物、被邀請(qǐng)就餐或以其他一些方式有一種特別的感受。

“父親節(jié)”的起源并不很清楚，有人說(shuō)它起始于1908年西弗吉尼亞的一種教堂儀式，也有人說(shuō)第一個(gè)“父親節(jié)”儀式是在華盛頓的范庫(kù)弗峰舉行的，還有人說(shuō)是Lions俱樂(lè)部芝加哥分部的會(huì)長(zhǎng)Harry Meek于1915年在其俱樂(lè)部慶祝了第一個(gè)“父親節(jié)”。

不管“父親節(jié)”到底是什么時(shí)候出現(xiàn)的，這個(gè)節(jié)日最強(qiáng)大的推動(dòng)者都是多德太太。在她的推動(dòng)下，華盛頓州將六月的第三個(gè)星期天定為“父親節(jié)”。其后，其他的州及組織開始游說(shuō)國(guó)會(huì)將“父親節(jié)”作為每年的例行節(jié)日。1916年，Woodrow Wilson總統(tǒng)批準(zhǔn)了這一提議，但是直到1924年，“父親節(jié)”才在全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)風(fēng)行起來(lái)。

在“父親節(jié)”這一天，孩子們會(huì)為父親做特別的甜點(diǎn)，如果和父親不住在一起則會(huì)邀請(qǐng)父親到家中來(lái)。如果無(wú)法邀請(qǐng)父親到家或到外面就餐，他們會(huì)寄上一張賀卡。通常，父親會(huì)更喜歡不太感傷的賀卡。大部分賀卡都很古怪，這樣當(dāng)父親打開的時(shí)便會(huì)大笑。一些賀卡也會(huì)送上一些衷心的感激之辭，感謝父親在需要之時(shí)一如既往的守護(hù)。

現(xiàn)在，“父親節(jié)”已經(jīng)成為向父親及所有扮演父親角色的人表達(dá)敬意的節(jié)日。繼父、伯父、祖父，所有成年男性都將在父親節(jié)受到尊敬。

Mother's Day and Father's Day

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father’s Day，on the third Sunday in June.Mother’s Day was proclaimed a day for national observance by President Wood row Wilson in 1915.Ann Jarvis from Grafton，West Virginia，had started the idea to have a d ay to honor mothers.She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation1).In 1909，Mrs.Dodd from Spokane，Washington，thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers.She wanted to honor her own father，William Smart.After her mother died，he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter.In 1910，the first Father’s Day was observed in Spokane.Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to establish Father’s Day as a national commemorative2)day，in 1972.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways.On Mother’s Day people wear carnations.A red one symbolizes a living mother.A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people attend religious services to honor parents.It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery3).On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants.They often have outdoor barbecues4)for Father’s Day.These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards an d gifts.Children make them in school.Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores.It is not the value of the gift that is important，but it is “the thought that counts”.Greeting card stores，florists5)，candy makers，bakeries，telephone companies，and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.美國(guó)人民以兩個(gè)特殊的日子向父母表示敬意：這便是每年五月第二個(gè)星期日的母親節(jié)和六月第三個(gè)星期日的父親節(jié)。
