母親節(jié)作為一個全國性節(jié)日是伍德羅·威爾遜總統(tǒng)于1915年宣布的。西弗吉尼亞州格拉弗頓區(qū)的安·賈維斯女士首先想到應(yīng)有一個特殊的日子向母親致意。是她選擇了五月的第二個星期日，也是她開始了佩戴康乃馨的習(xí)俗。

第四篇：母親節(jié),父親節(jié)

母親節(jié)和父親節(jié)

母親節(jié)，是一個感謝母親的節(jié)日。這個節(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，是每年5月的第二個星期日。母親們在這一天通常會收到禮物，康乃馨被視為獻(xiàn)給母親的花，而中國的母親花是萱草花，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月的第三個星期日。每個國家的父親節(jié)日期都不盡相同，也有各種的慶祝方式，大部分都與贈送禮物家族聚餐或活動有關(guān)。世界上有52個國家和地區(qū)是在6月的第三個星期日慶祝父親節(jié)。

在父親節(jié)這天，人們選擇特定的鮮花來表示對父親的敬意。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)或父親的生日時贈送父親的花，寓意父親的剛毅、親切而威嚴(yán)，表達(dá)對父親的敬意。

現(xiàn)在母親節(jié)與父親節(jié)也進(jìn)入了我們的國家，可以說母親節(jié)與父親節(jié)已經(jīng)成為了我們國家年輕人的重要的節(jié)日了。在現(xiàn)在的社會里，我們的生活條件好了，我們的物質(zhì)生活富足了。我們該在母親節(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。可是現(xiàn)代的社會是一個物欲橫流的社會，人們之間缺乏理解，缺乏溫暖是很正常之事。那么我們該給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。他是一個美麗的地方，春天我來到那里。

不知不覺，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)夾著濕潤的芳香，輕輕拂過，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。看！在陽光照耀下的樹林，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)出來的芬芳，引來了一個天真的小姑娘，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，像是剛下過一場春雨。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，柳葉晃動著它那嫩綠的辮子，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；青枝綠葉總是懾人眸凝的，因?yàn)槟切┦甲栽伎蓯鄣纳婧团Γ恢祛伨G發(fā)總是引人愔羨的，因?yàn)槟切o人可

及的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和氣魄。就讓綠色包容我們曾經(jīng)的無知和自私，在綠色中重新認(rèn)識自己，也是一次全新的開始。五月母親節(jié)到了，讓我們和大自然擁抱——蜂蝶翩遷，鶯歌燕舞，草蟲呢喃，鳥兒啾啾——

六月父親節(jié)也會來到的，草長鶯飛，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，聽著鳥兒站在葉尖上唱歌。在這鳥語花香的世界里，比聽上一段優(yōu)美的樂曲還愜意，意境里，神曠。即便是我們的心情有什么不快，都會隨之煙消云散，偷偷溜走，這時候的我們，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，靜靜傾聽大自然的聲音，與靈魂相約，任思緒飄渺，在心的另一端，尋夢......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里快樂的游來游去，嬉戲耍鬧，你追我趕，生怕自己掉隊(duì)，個個都不甘示弱，而此時的我們，一定會和他們一起快樂著、開心著。靜觀、心怡。一個沉醉在這樣美妙意境里的女子，一切都那么寧靜、那么自然優(yōu)雅 而美麗......看著，一對對、一雙雙，自由飛翔的蝶舞翩翩，綠了愛戀的滕蔓，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，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......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，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級風(fēng)景區(qū)內(nèi)，地理位置優(yōu)勢明顯，緊鄰311國道，鄭堯高速直達(dá)，距擬建的魯山旅游機(jī)場僅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。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)式酒店也即將動工建設(shè)。到那時候，我們來到堯山的香格里拉.上河灣，就會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，寧靜幽遠(yuǎn)的感受令人神馳。

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

Lesson: 課文

Father's Day 父親節(jié)

Father's Day falls on the third Sunday in June.The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington.A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.六月的第三個星期日是父親節(jié)。設(shè)立一天讓孩子們表達(dá)對父親的尊敬的想法起源于在華盛頓州的斯普肯鎮(zhèn)。1909年，一位名叫索娜拉·史瑪特·杜德的女士在聽母親節(jié)的布道時想到也應(yīng)該有一個父親節(jié)。

Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her.It was her father who made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man.Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the

first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June,1910.索娜拉的母親過世后，父親亨利·杰克遜·史瑪特把她撫養(yǎng)成人，她想讓父親知道他對她來說有多么重要。父親為了她既當(dāng)?shù)之?dāng)媽，而且在女兒的眼中，父親是個勇敢、無私、慈愛的好父親。索娜拉父親的生日是在六月，所以她就選擇1910年6月19日在華盛頓的斯普肯鎮(zhèn)舉行了第一次父親節(jié)慶祝活動。

In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.1924年，美國總統(tǒng)加爾文·庫利奇宣布每年6月的第三個星期天為父親節(jié)。玫瑰是父親節(jié)的吉祥花：紅玫瑰獻(xiàn)給健在的父親，而白玫瑰則送給已過世的父親。

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!

與人們普遍的誤解相反，父親節(jié)不是為了幫助問候卡生產(chǎn)商銷售出更多卡片而設(shè)立的節(jié)日。實(shí)際上，當(dāng)“父親節(jié)”首次得到提議時，并沒有父親節(jié)卡片。

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 to be honored on Father's Day.父親節(jié)已經(jīng)變成了一個不僅尊敬你的父親，而且尊敬所有擔(dān)任父親角色的男人的節(jié)日。繼父、叔叔、舅舅、爺爺、外公以及成年男性朋友都是父親節(jié)尊敬的對象。

Look your father in the eye, shake his hand and tell him that you love him.That's the best present you can give him.注視著父親的眼睛，握住他的手，然后告訴他你愛他。這是你所能予他的最好禮物。

Mother's Day 母親節(jié)

The first celebrations in honor of mothers were held in spring in ancient Greece.They paid tribute to Rhea, the Mother of the Gods.During the 17th century, England honored mothers on “Mothering Sunday,” celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent.In the United States, Julia Ward Howe suggested the idea of Mother's Day in 1872.Howe saw Mother's Day as being dedicated to peace.最早為母親們慶祝節(jié)日是在古希臘的時候。慶祝活動在春天舉行，人們向眾神之母莉婭獻(xiàn)祭。十七世紀(jì)時英國人用“拜望雙親日”來表示對母親們的尊敬，定于四旬齋的第四個星期日慶祝。在美國朱莉婭·沃德·荷于1872年提出了“母親節(jié)”的建議。荷把“母親節(jié)”當(dāng)作是對和平的貢獻(xiàn)。

Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia is credited with bringing about the official observance of Mother's Day in the USA.Her campaign to establish such a holiday began as a remembrance of her mother who died in 1905 and who had, in the late 19th century, tried to establish “Mother's Friendship Days” as a way to heal the scars of the Civil War.費(fèi)城的安娜·查維絲為母親節(jié)成為美國官方節(jié)日做出了努力。她發(fā)起成立母親節(jié)的運(yùn)動

是從紀(jì)念她的母親開始的。安娜的母親去世于1905年，曾在十九世紀(jì)末期提倡過建立“母親友好日”以撫慰內(nèi)戰(zhàn)帶來的創(chuàng)傷。

In 1910, West Virginia became the first state to recognize Mother's Day.A year later, nearly every state officially marked the day.In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed Mother's Day as a national holiday to be held on the second Sunday of May.1910年西弗吉尼亞成為第一個認(rèn)可母親節(jié)的洲。一年后幾乎每個洲都將這一天定為官方節(jié)日。1914年美國總統(tǒng)胡佛·威爾森公開宣布將母親節(jié)定為國家節(jié)日，定于五月的第二個星期天。

Today many celebrations of Mother's Days are held throughout the world.Although they do not all fall at the same time, such countries as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia and Belgium also celebrate Mother's Day on the same day as the United States.現(xiàn)在全世界有很多地方慶祝母親節(jié)，雖然這些慶祝活動并不是在同一天舉行。丹麥、芬蘭、意大利、土爾其、澳大利亞和比利時等國家和美國在同一天慶祝母親節(jié)。

Don't forget Mother's Day.Make your Mom breakfast in bed, buy her a bunch of flowers and some chocolates and, most importantly, tell her how much you love and respect her.不要忘記母親節(jié)。把早餐端到你媽媽床前，給她買一大束花和一些巧克力，最重要的是，告訴她你是多么愛她和尊敬她。
