mothers' day history 母親節(jié)的由來

Origin of Mother's Day goes back to the era of ancient Greek and Romans.But the roots of Mother's Day history can also be traced in UK where a Mothering Sunday was celebrated much before the festival saw the light of the day in US.However, the celebration of the festival as it is seen today is a recent phenomenon and not even a hundred years old.Thanks to the hard work of the pioneering women of their times, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis that the day came into existence.Today the festival of Mothers day is celebrated across 46 countries(though on different dates)and is a hugely popular affair.Millions of people across the globe take the day as an opportunity to honor their mothers, thank them for their efforts in giving them life, raising them and being their constant support and well wisher.......參考譯文：

1)畫蛇添足

Drawing a snake and Adding Feet

戰(zhàn)國時代有個楚國人祭他的祖先。儀式結(jié)束后，他拿出一壺酒賞給手下的幾個人。大家商量說：“我們都來畫蛇，誰先畫好誰就喝這壺酒?！逼渲杏幸粋€人先畫好 了。但他看到同伴還沒有畫完，就又給蛇添上了腳。這時，另一個人也畫好了，奪過酒壺吧酒喝了，并且說：“蛇本來是沒有腳的，你怎么能給它添上腳呢？”

In the Warring States Period, a man in the State of Chu was offering a sacrifice to his ancestors.After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants.The servants thought that there was not enough wine for all them, and decided to each draw a picture of a snake;the one who finished the picture first would get the wine.One of them drew very rapidly.Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake.At this moment another man finished, snatched the beaker and drank the wine, saying, 'A snake doesn't have feet.How can you add feet to a snake? '

(2)The Monkeys' Ration朝三暮四

There was once a man who raised monkeys at home.In time, he understood the monkeys quite well.從前有個人，在家飼養(yǎng)了一批猴子。久而久之，他很了解猴子的感情。

The man was not rich and often had to cut down his household expenses to feed the monkeys.When times turned rough, he had to reduce the monkeys'feed as well.養(yǎng)猴人并不富有，常常要節(jié)衣縮食去喂飽猴子。不過，當(dāng)境況變得更壞時，他只好減少猴子的食糧。

The man was afraid that the monkeys would not remain tame.To test their response, he told the monkeys, “Fro, now on, I'll 10篇中英對照英語小故事 give each of you three chestnuts in the morning and four at night.Is that all right with you?” 養(yǎng)猴人生怕猴子會因此而變得不聽話，便用試探它們的口氣說：「從今天起，我每天早上給你們?nèi)w栗子，晚上再給四顆，好嗎？」

When the monkeys learned that their ration was to be reduced, they flew into a rage.Seeing how mad the monkeys were, the man corrected himself at once.猴子一聽到養(yǎng)猴人要減少它們的食糧，都非常生氣。

“All right,” he told them, “I'll give you four chestnuts in the morning and three at night then.” 於是，養(yǎng)猴人馬上改口說：「那么，改為早上給四顆，晚上再給三顆?！?This satisfied the monkeys, and they all jumped for joy.猴子就感到滿意，歡欣鼓舞起來。

(3)濫竽充數(shù)

The Man Who Faked His Music King Xuan of Qi was fond of music.In particular, he enjoyed listening to a wind instrument called the “yu”.He appreciated it most when the yu was played by a band of about three hundred musicians.齊宣王喜歡聽竽，尤其是三百人大樂隊的吹奏。One time there was a vacancy in the royal band.When Nanguo heard about it, he applied for the post.有一次，宣王招聘樂師。南郭先生聽到了這消息，就前往應(yīng)聘。

Nanguo was not a musician at all.He had applied for the post simply because he was poor and it paid well.南郭先生其實(shí)不會吹竽。他應(yīng)聘的原因，是因?yàn)樗邑?，兼且樂師的待遇又豐厚。

Nanaguo was lucky.Nobody knew he was faking.His luck did not last long, though, because King Xuan soon died and young Prince Min became king.南郭先生相當(dāng)幸運(yùn)，沒有人發(fā)覺他在樂隊中裝模做樣，冒充內(nèi)行。可是好景不常，宣王不久去世，閔王繼位。King Min also enjoyed listening to the yu.Unlike his father, he preferred listening to the musicians playing solo.As soons as Nanguo got wind of the news, he sneaked away as fast as he could.閔王也愛聽竽，不過，他跟他的父親不同，他喜歡聽樂師們一一獨(dú)奏。南郭先生知道后，便馬上溜走了。

(4)郭氏之墟(the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi)On a vacation trip, Duke Huan of the state of Qi came to the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi , which perished long ago.Seeing the desolate and bleak prospects of broken tiles, collapsed walls, and clusters of weeds, he could not help asking the local people about the reason of the ruin of Guo Shi.They replied,“Guo Shi was fond of doing good deeds, and averse to evildoing, which led to the perdition.”

When the Duke could not understand the answer, people explained ,“ Though he liked doing good, he had never been able to do so;though he hated evildoing, never could he help not participating.That caused the ruin of his capital.”

齊桓公出游途中，來到已經(jīng)滅亡許久的郭氏都城的廢墟。

看到瓦礫殘垣、雜草叢生的蕭條景象，忍不住問當(dāng)?shù)匕傩展蠝缤龅脑颉?/p>

百姓們回答說：“郭氏由于喜愛善行善事。厭惡邪惡丑行而導(dǎo)致滅亡?！?/p>

齊桓公不能理解這種回答，百姓們便解釋說：“郭氏雖然喜愛善行善事，但從來都不能做到；盡管厭惡邪惡丑行，卻總是忍不住參與其中。這就是他的都城變成廢墟的原因?！?/p>

(5)老鼠和公牛(a mouse and a bull)A mouse once took a bite out of a bull's tail as he lay dozing.The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard.The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall.The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole.After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again.10篇中英對照英語小故事 As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again--this time on the nose--and rushed back to safety.As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked: “It's not always the big people who come off best.Sometimes the small ones win, you know.” 老鼠和公牛

有一次，公牛躺著打盹，一只老鼠咬了他的尾巴。公牛怒氣沖沖地跳起來，低著頭追老鼠，一直追過院子。然而，老鼠跑得比他快多了，從容地鉆到墻洞里去了。

公牛一次又一次地猛撞墻壁，盡管頭撞腫了，角撞裂了，老鼠卻安然待在洞里。過了一會兒，公牛不撞了，倒下歇著。

公牛剛睡著，小老鼠就爬到洞口，嗒嗒地跑過院子，又咬了公牛一口 ?? 這回咬了鼻子 ?? 又跑回安全的地方去。當(dāng)公牛毫無辦法地吼叫時，老鼠吱吱叫道：

“大人物并不總占上風(fēng)。有時小人物也會取勝?！?/p>

(6)男孩和蕁麻(a boy and a nettle)

A boy was playing in the fields when he was stung by a nettle.He ran home to tell his mother what had happened.“I only touched it lightly,” he said, “and the nasty thing stung me.” “It stung you because you only touched it lightly,” his mother told him.“ Next time you touch a nettle grasp it as tightly as you can.Then it won't sting you at all.” Face danger boldly.男孩和蕁麻

有個男孩子在地里玩耍，被蕁麻刺痛了。他跑回家去，告訴媽媽出了什么事。

“我不過輕輕地碰了它一下，”他說，“那討厭的東西就把我刺痛了?！?/p>

“你只輕輕地碰了它一下，所以它才刺痛你，”媽媽對他說，“下一回你再碰到蕁麻，就盡量緊緊地抓住它。那它就根本不會刺痛你了?！? 要敢于面對危險。

(7)鸚鵡和貓(a parrot and a cat)A man once bought a brilliantly-coloured parrot.Instead of locking it up in a cage or chaining it to a perch, he allowed it to fly free all over the house.The parrot was delighted at this and flapped from room to room, shrieking and screaming with happiness.At last he settled on the edge of a rich curtain.“Who on earth are you ?” said a cross voice from below.“Stop that terrible noise at once.” The parrot saw a cat staring up at him from the carpet.“I 'm a parrot.I 've just arrived and I 'm to make as much noise as I can,” he said.“Well, I 've lived here all my life,” replied the cat.“I was born in this very house and I learned from my mother that it is best to keep quiet here.” “Keep quiet then, ”said the parrot cheerfully.“I don't know what you do around here, but I know my job.My master bought me for my voice and I'm going to make sure he hears it.” Different people are valued for different things.鸚鵡和貓

從前，有人買了一只毛色鮮艷的鸚鵡。他沒有把鸚鵡關(guān)在籠子里，也沒有用鏈條把他拴在棲木上，而讓他在家里自由自在地飛來飛去。鸚鵡對此非常高興，撲動翅膀，從一間屋子飛到另一間屋子，愉快地尖聲叫著，最后停在華麗的帷幔的邊上。

“你到底是誰？”從下面?zhèn)鱽砼瓪鉀_沖的說話聲，“馬上住嘴，別發(fā)出那難聽的聲音?！?/p>

鸚鵡看見地毯上有一只貓?zhí)ь^看著他。

“我是鸚鵡。我剛到，我要使勁地吵吵?！彼f?！澳悄憔鸵宦暡豁懓桑丙W鵡歡快地說，“我不知道你在這兒干什10篇中英對照英語小故事 么，可我知道我的活兒。主人為了我的聲音才買我，我一定得讓他聽到?！? 不同的人因有不同的特點(diǎn)而受重視。

(8)野豬和狐貍(A wild boar and a fox)A wild boar was sharpening his tusks against a tree one day when a fox came by.“What are you doing that for?” asked the fox.“There are no hunters around.Everything looks very peaceful to me.” “Quite true, ”said the boar, “but when the hunter does come with his dogs I shall be too busy running away to have time for this.So let me sharpen my tusks while I can.” Be prepared.野豬和狐貍

有一天，野豬在樹上磨牙齒，狐貍走過來。

“你為什么干這個呀？”狐貍問，“附近又沒有獵人，我覺得平安無事?！? “不錯，”野豬說，“但是，如果獵人真的帶著獵狗來了，我只能逃走，就沒工夫干這個了。趁我現(xiàn)在可以磨，就讓我磨磨牙齒吧?！? 時刻準(zhǔn)備著（有備無患）

(9)燕雀處室

The swallows and sparrows are very pleased to find a place on the roof of the hall for their nests.The mother birds are feeding their babies with pleasure, which assumes a scene of peace and harmony.But they have never thought of the following scene: the chimney at the top of the kitchen might break, the fire might leap up to the roof and the burning purling might destroy their nests.But those swallows and sparrows are unmindful of the coming disaster.They go on with their superficial happiness brought by peace and calm.燕雀處室

燕雀為擁有屋頂下面的一個位置而欣慰不已。

母鳥用叼來的食物喂養(yǎng)啁啾鳴叫的幼鳥，整個兒是一派歡樂自得的祥和景象。

它們完全沒有考慮到：爐灶上的煙囪有可能會炸裂，火苗將會竄上屋梁，燒著的椽 將會摧毀它們的巢穴。

不知大禍將要降臨到自己頭上的燕雀們正在安然自若地品味這表面上的安寧所帶來的幸福。

(10)山(a great mountain)

Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake.People came from far and near to see what would happen.“A great river will be born.” said one.“Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will come out.” said another.“A god himself will spring form these rocks.” said a third.Finally , after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain.And out popped----a mouse.Just because someone makes a lot of fuss, it doesn't mean he is important.山

很久以前，一座大山隆隆作響，搖晃起來。遠(yuǎn)近各處的人都來看是怎么回事。

一個人說：“要出現(xiàn)一條大河了。” 另一個人說：“準(zhǔn)會出現(xiàn)一條巨龍。” 第三個人說：“從這些巖石中會出現(xiàn)一尊神來?！?等了幾天之后，山坡上終于裂開一條小縫，卻蹦出來一只耗子。

正因?yàn)槟橙舜笏翉垞P(yáng)，所以他沒有什么了不起。10篇中英對照英語小故事

母親的由來

古母親節(jié)起源于希臘，古希臘人在這一天向希臘神話中的眾神之母赫拉致敬。在17世紀(jì)中葉，母親節(jié)流傳到英國，英國人把封齋期的第四個星期天作為母親節(jié)。在這一天里，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。

現(xiàn)代意義上的母親節(jié)（ＭＯＴＨＥＲ＂ＳＤＡＹ）起源于美國，由安娜?賈維斯（Anna Jarvis,1864-1948）發(fā)起。她終身未婚，膝下無兒無女1906年5月9日，安娜?賈維斯的母親不幸去世，她悲痛萬分。在次年母親逝世的周年忌日，賈維斯組織了道思母親的活動，并鼓勵他人也以類似方式來表達(dá)對各自慈母的感激之情。

賈維斯寫信給西弗吉尼亞州格拉夫頓的安血塊魯斯道圣公會教學(xué)，請求為她的母親特別追思禮拜。她母親生前為這一教學(xué)的星期日學(xué)校服務(wù)了20多年。1908年，教堂宣布賈維斯母親忌日——5月的第二個星期日為母親節(jié)。賈維斯還組織了一個母親節(jié)委員會，開始大規(guī)模宣傳，呼吁將母親節(jié)定為法定節(jié)日。

她的呼吁獲得熱烈響應(yīng)。1913年5月10日，美國參眾兩院通過決議案，由威爾遜總統(tǒng)簽署公告，決定每年5月的第二個星期日為母親節(jié)。這一舉措引起世界各國紛紛仿效，至1948年賈維斯謝世時，已有43個國家設(shè)立了母親節(jié)。美國政府還規(guī)定，母親節(jié)這天，家家戶戶都要懸掛國旗，以表示對母親的尊敬。

母親之花——康乃馨

1934年5月，美國首次發(fā)行母親節(jié)紀(jì)念郵票，郵票上一位慈祥的母親，雙手放在膝上，欣喜地看著前面的花瓶中一束鮮艷美麗的康乃馨。隨著郵票的傳播，在許多人的心目中把母親節(jié)與康乃馨聯(lián)系起來，康乃馨便成了象征母愛之花。受到人們的敬重。人們把思念母親、孝敬母親的的感情，寄托于康乃馨上，康乃馨也成為了贈送母親不可缺少的珍貴禮品。除了這些情感因素外，康乃馨的天生麗質(zhì)應(yīng)是它受到人位寵愛的主要原因，或許也正是它的美麗而成為獻(xiàn) 給母親的佳品。中國的母親花——萓草

我國也有一種母親之花，它就是萓花。

萓草，在我國一向有“母親花”的美稱，遠(yuǎn)在《詩經(jīng)、衛(wèi)風(fēng)、伯兮》里載“焉得諼草，言樹之背？”諼草就是萓草，古人又叫它忘憂草，背，北，指母親住的產(chǎn)房。這句話的意思就是：我到哪里弄到一支萓草，種在母親堂前，讓母親樂而忘憂呢？母親住的屋子又叫萓堂，以萓草代替母愛，如孟郊的游子詩：“萓草生堂階，游子行天涯；慈母依堂前，不見萓草花?！比~夢得的詩云：“白發(fā)萓堂上，孩兒更共懷。”萓草就成了母親的僥，萓草也就自然成了我國的母親之花。

萓草是百合科多年生草本植物，根莖肉質(zhì)，葉狹長，細(xì)長的枝頂端開出桔紅或桔黃色的花，十分艷麗，它不僅供人觀賞，花蕾叫金針，也可作蔬菜供人信用，在我國南北方廣為栽植。

母親節(jié)的創(chuàng)立后，也得到了全世界各國人民的支持。安娜?賈維斯在世時，設(shè)立母親節(jié)的國家已達(dá)43個。時至今日，歡慶這個節(jié)日的國家就更多了。母親節(jié)已經(jīng)成了一個名副其實(shí)的國際性節(jié)日。

日本的母親節(jié)也是5月的第二個星期日。節(jié)日里人位送給母親一枝紅石竹，表示祝賀。

法國首次慶祝母親節(jié)是在1928年，節(jié)日定在5月的最后一個星期日。節(jié)日這一天，婁以百萬計的媽媽們，懷著喜悅的心情接受各自子女的“節(jié)日愉快”的美好祝愿。

泰國于1976年宣布8月12日為母親節(jié)。這一天也是泰王后麗古的生日。節(jié)日里，全國要開展“優(yōu)秀母親”的評選活動。兒女們手持芳香馥郁的茉莉花，獻(xiàn)給自己的母親。

阿拉伯地區(qū)的許多國家的母親節(jié)定在3月21日“春分”這一天。當(dāng)?shù)厝苏J(rèn)為“春分”是春天開始，一年之始。以此表示母親的偉大。葡萄牙人的母親節(jié)在12月8日：而印度尼西亞則定在12月22日。

母親節(jié)在我國最早是在港澳臺地區(qū)有此節(jié)日。改革開放后，母親節(jié)也為內(nèi)地所接受。廣東省于1988年開始，杭州等城市于1989年開始，都由各級婦聯(lián)組織母親節(jié)的慶?；顒樱言u選“好母親”作為節(jié)日的內(nèi)容之一。吉爾吉斯坦總統(tǒng)阿坦巴耶夫2012年4月24日簽署法令，將每年5月第三個星期定為“母親日”。這一決定是國家支持母親和家庭計劃的一部分。目的在于“讓吉爾吉斯坦整個國家和社會認(rèn)識到提高母親們和家庭地位的重要性”使得國家在關(guān)照母親和家庭上的政策與國際接軌。此外，法令要求政府開展調(diào)查，研究“照顧母親和提高家庭的地位”在吉爾吉斯坦的現(xiàn)狀，以判斷政府是否兌現(xiàn)了承諾，遵守國際法。這一調(diào)研成果對于母親日的宣傳和教育工作也將至關(guān)重要。
