Now, the VOA Learning English program Words and Their Stories. Each week at this time, we tell about everyday expressions in American English and how to use them. In the United States, Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May. It was back in 1908 when a woman named Anna Jarvis created this unofficial holiday to honor mothers. However, Ms. Jarvis would later criticize Mother's Day. She said it had become too commercial -- too much about spending money. She had a good point.____________________________现在是美国之音慢速英语词汇典故节目.每周的这个时间,我们都会谈谈美式英语中日常短语及用法. 在美国,五月的第二个星期天就是母亲节,母亲节可以追溯到1908年,一位名叫Anna Jarvis的女性创立了这个非官方节日纪念母亲们,然而, Jarvis女士之后却指责母亲节已经变得过于商业化--过度浪费金钱.她说的不错.__________________________
