Today I’m going to introduce the origin of Mother’s Day. 在古老的希臘，人們會舉辦熱鬧的節慶，感謝一位像媽媽一樣的女神——西貝萊。 In ancient Greece, people held lively festivals to thank a goddess like a mother—Cybele. 大家相信，是她帶來生命，照顧世界，就像媽媽照顧孩子一樣。 People believed that she brought life and took care of the world, just like mothers take care of their children. 後來，古羅馬繼承了這個文化，稱西貝萊為「Magna Mater」，意思是「偉大的母親」。 Later, ancient Rome adopted Cybele, calling her Magna Mater – “Great Mother”. 他們用唱歌、跳舞和祭典，來表達對「母親」的感謝。 They used singing, dancing, and festivals to express their gratitude to mothers. 可是，那時候還沒有我們現在知道的「母親節」。 However, at that time, there was no Mother’s Day like we have today. 過了很久很久，一百多年前的美國，有一個女孩，名字叫做安娜·賈維斯。 A long, long time later, in the United States over one hundred years ago, there was a girl called Anna Jarvis. 有一天，她的媽媽過世了，她非常想念媽媽。 One day, her mother passed away, and she missed her very much. 於是她決定做一件事情—— So she decided to do something— 她說：「如果世界上有一天，可以讓大家一起對媽媽說謝謝，那該有多好！」 She said, “How wonderful it would be if there were a day when everyone could say thank you to their mothers!” 她開始努力告訴很多人這個想法，終於，有一天，美國的總統伍德羅·威爾遜宣布： She worked hard to share this idea with many people, and finally one day, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson announced: 每年五月的第二個星期日，就是母親節！ The second Sunday of May each year would be Mother’s Day! 從那一天開始，世界上越來越多地方也開始過母親節。 From that day on, more and more places around the world began to celebrate Mother’s Day. 小朋友會做卡片、送花，還會對媽媽說：「媽媽，謝謝你，我愛你！」 Children make cards, give flowers, and say to their mothers: “Mom, thank you. I love you!” 小朋友，其實，母親節不只是送禮物的日子。 Kids, actually, Mother’s Day is not just a day for giving gifts. 它是在提醒我們——平常也要記得關心媽媽、幫忙做家事，還要把愛說出來喔！ It reminds us—We should care about our mothers, help with housework , and say “I love you” in our daily lives. 五月的第二個星期天記得跟媽咪說「母親節快樂！」喔。 Remember to say “Happy Mother’s Day!” to your mom on the second Sunday of May. 我們下次見喔！ See you next time! --Hosting provided by SoundOn
