參考譯文
在購物商場裡，售貨員極力向你推銷，“買一件禮物去感謝她無私的愛吧。”當你登入到一個網站的時候，一個彈出式選單要你為她訂一束花。在這個五月份特別的星期天裡，洋溢著充滿商業化的熱情和感激的氣氛。
美國版本的母親節在1905年由賈維斯提出，作為一種認同母愛真正價值的方式。母親節在全世界的流行表明賈維斯成功達到了目的。事實上，她得到的還要多，多得使她感到害怕。
根據美國賀曼卡片公司的調查顯示，96%的美國消費者在慶祝這個節日。在各種商品之中，卡片的銷售量達到l_32億張。母親節的鮮花銷售量在所有節日中住列第一。還有其他各種各樣的商品，從珠寶、衣服到化妝品、洗衣粉，都利用這個機會提高銷售量。由於這個原因，賈維斯在她生命的最後40年中一直努力阻止慶祝母親節。有趣的是，在一次抵制母親節商業化的抗議中，她竟然以破壞和平的名義被捕。
並且，商業化使得年輕人改變了做母親的'態度。正如英國報紙《衛報》記者勞爾夫·斐吾爾評論的一樣，傳統意義上“選擇做母親是因為我們認為這是正確的”。但從商業邏輯看來，人們需要一些東西來交換由此而付出的時間和精力。一份事業更適合這個目標。
另外，女性被鼓勵去追求任何她們想要的事業。因此她們努力工作。努力玩。然而成為一個母親就不可避免地會阻礙事業的發展。
結果是，女性地位自20世紀50年代以來有了巨大的下降。據《衛報》報道，當今沒有孩子的年輕女性是上一代的兩倍。或者她們把做母親的責任推遲到更晚一些。
於是斐吾爾寫道，慶祝母親節的意義需要被更新。“它的意義在於說服人們去相信為人父母是一個崇高的信念，並且要尊重有意成為善者的人們。”
