It's not that Mom doesn't deserve an extravagantly expensive celebration of her day. It's just that over-the-top gifts and parties may not be feasible on a budget.

　　她真正想要的是能够有一段停止做通常的杂务而且能够和家人一起度过的美好的时间。

　　And speaking as a mom, I can say that what matters most to me on Mother's Day isn't the amount of money spent (in fact, I get more of a kick out of saving money, usually). What makes Mother's Day special to me is two things: getting a free pass out of normal mom work like laundry, cleaning, cooking and the like, and getting to spend time with my family. Peruse the list below for plenty of ideas that won't cost you but will still make your mom feel special. (See also: "Mother's Day gifts that show you really care.")

　　就一个母亲而言，我可以说母亲节上在我看来更多的麻烦并不是大量的花费(事实上，通常我更多的并没有省钱)。对于我来说母亲节的特殊在于两件事情：母亲们可以从普通妈妈的工作中解脱出来像洗衣服，打扫，做饭等，还有和家人一起度过一段时间。阅读下面列表中的不花钱但是仍你能是母亲感到特殊的大量的观点。(也能使你明白：“母亲节的礼物展示给你真正的关心。”)

　　Give Mom the day off.

　　给妈妈一天的假期。

　　This should be the absolute minimum you do to celebrate Mother's Day, anyway: Give her a day off from all the mundane stuff she does, without complaining, day after day. Pitch in, get the whole family involved, and do the work for her.

　　这绝对应该是你为庆祝母亲节所做的最小的事，无论如何：在她们，日复一日的没有完成家务的情况下，从所有她正在做的家务中给妈妈一天的休息时间。

　　Take the kids to the park and give Mom some quiet time.

　　带孩子去公园而且给妈妈一些安静的时间。

　　Listen, I know a mom loves being with her kids but, especially for moms of young kids, having a little peace and quiet time is truly one of the ultimate gifts you can give. Pack up the kids, go to the park for an hour or two, and leave Mom at home to nap, watch a movie in peace, read a book, or do her nails -- whatever she wants.

　　听，我知道妈妈喜欢跟她的孩子们一起，尤其是妈妈的年幼的孩子们，有一个小的和平与安静的时间真的是一个你可以给的最大的礼物。带上孩子们，去公园一或两个小时，让妈妈在家里睡觉，看电影，在和平年代，读一本书，或做指甲——无论她想要什么。

　　Make and deliver breakfast in bed.

　　为母亲做并且向她提供在床上吃早饭。

　　Yes, it's as cliched as giving Dad a tie for Father's Day, but there's a good reason here. Moms are usually the ones who hop (or crawl) out of bed and get everybody going in the morning. She deserves a break. Make a nice breakfast, deliver it to her in bed, and let her enjoy a morning off. (Post continues below.)

　　是的，它就像父亲节送给爸爸一条领带似的陈词滥调，但是在这里它是一个好的原因。妈妈们通常是这样一个人：她每天早上第一个从床上跳下来或爬下来，给家里的每个人做好饭。她值得我们为她做这样一顿早饭。做一顿美味的早餐，送给仍在床上的母亲，然后让她享受一顿早饭的时间来休息。(这以后下面继续。)

　　Take the family out for a picnic at the park.

　　带全家人去公园野炊。

　　Get in the kitchen and make some sandwiches, pasta salad, or some other portable meal. Gather up all the picnic supplies (try not to ask Mom what you should take). Then whisk everybody away to a local park for a picnic and some play time outdoors. Take a walk, sit around, talk to people, play volleyball, or go at night and watch the stars. Mom's choice.

　　去厨房然后做一些三明治 通心粉沙拉，或一些其他的便携式餐。收集所有的野餐用品(尝试这不问妈妈你说应该带的东西)。然后带着大家到当地的公园野餐而且给大家一些户外游玩时间。散步，大家坐在一起，和人们聊天，打排球或在晚上看星星。这是妈妈的选择。

　　Take a hike. Picnic optional.

　　徒步旅行。

　　Scout out some new scenery in the area, gather up the gear, and take the family on a leisurely (or energetic) hike. This is one of my favorite family activities. I love being outside, and I love especially being outside with my family.

　　野餐可选。勘测一些在当地的景观，做一些安排，而且带家人有一个悠闲地徒步旅行。这是我最喜爱的家庭活动之一。我喜爱在户外活动，而且我尤其喜爱和家人一起在户外活动。

　　Scout your area for free concerts or events.

　　关注你所在的地区的一些免费的音乐会或发生的大事件。

　　Several parks in my area have free concerts over the spring and summer. There are also different festivals, farmers markets, plays, walks, and more. Search for free local events and music in your area, and take the whole family.

　　在我们这个地区的几个公园里在春天和夏天有免费的音乐会。这里经常也会有不同的节日，农贸市场，戏剧，散步，和更多其他的活动。在你所在的地区关注一些免费的当地发生的时间和音乐，然后带家人去看。

　　Have a surprise party.

　　有一个惊喜派对。

　　Not every mom will want a surprise party on Mother's Day, so be sensitive to what the mom in your life will enjoy. I happen to love parties and especially love surprise parties, so the idea of having a surprise party on Mother's Day -- one at which the dads and kids are responsible for all the planning, prepping and cleanup -- sounds insanely fun. You have to be serious about pulling this off right, though. No fair planning it and then making Mom handle the cleanup. Do it all.

　　并不是每一个母亲都想在母亲节有一个惊喜派对，因此对妈妈在生活中所喜欢的东西保持一个灵敏的反映。我碰巧喜欢派对尤其是惊喜派对，因此对这个主意在母亲节上有一个惊喜派 有爸爸和孩子负责规划，准备和整理-听起来出切的有趣。尽管，你对拉动这一关权利必须保持严谨。不能公平的规划它然后让妈妈来整理。你应该做到这一切。

　　Tackle a project together.

　　一起做一个项目。

　　My mother-in-law has a longstanding request for Mother's Day. She wants her "boys" to come over and help out with whatever current project is at hand. We usually plan a casual lunch together sometime on Mother's Day weekend, then my father-in-law and the three grown-up boys go finish up the project while we girls either sit inside and corral the kids or go outside and cheer the men on. It's a no-cost, fun and productive celebration.

　　我婆婆对于母亲节有一个长期的要求。他希望他的女婿过来而且帮助她做一切当前在手边的项目。在母亲节的周末我们有事通常打算有一顿随便的午餐，然后，我的公公和三个成年的男孩去完成这些项目，而我们女生坐在里面和科拉尔的孩子或外出或对男性欢呼。这是一个无成本的，有趣和富有成效的庆祝活动。

　　Have a family movie night.

　　在晚上一家人一起看电影。

　　Family time is important for most moms, and finding time to do things together gets more and more difficult as kids get older and have their own social circles, jobs and events. So dedicate Mother's Day night to a special family movie night. Mom gets to pick the movies. Dad and kids provide meal and/or movie-appropriate snacks, and everyone gets to settle in for some chill time together.

　　对于更多的母亲来说家庭时间是重要的，随着孩子们年龄的变大而且有了他们自己的交际圈，工作和事情，找一些时间和家人一起变得越来越困难。因此将母亲节的夜晚这样一个家庭电影的夜晚献给母亲。妈妈挑选的电影。爸爸和孩子提供膳食和/或电影适当的零食，每个人在这个有些寒意的晚上时间聚集在了一起。

　　Make a memory book.

　　制作一本记忆我们一起的书。

　　For the creatively minded, or for scrapbooking moms in general, having the whole family sit down for a couple of hours to put together a family memory book could be the perfect no-cost gift. Gather supplies you already have: an empty photo album, pretty papers, stickers, photos and the like. Put an hour or two into it, and have (or help) each family member create a page individually and then put them in the book, or work on each page as a team.

　　在通常情况下对于创造性的头脑，或头脑像剪贴簿的妈妈来说，全家人坐在一起待几个小时来组建一部来记忆一家人一起度过的书，这是一个不错的礼物。收集提供一些你已经拥有的：一本空的电话簿，漂亮的报纸，贴纸，照片等。将以家人呆在一起的一到两个小时的记忆放到里面，然后帮助家里的每一个成员创建个人的一页然后将它们放到书里，或者将他和自己作为一个团队时刻在一起。

　　Create a treasure hunt for Mom.

　　为妈妈创建一个宝藏。

　　Kids aren't the only ones who like treasure hunts. Put some time into thinking up fun clues, then hide little treats or coupons for stuff Mom will like (such as "a night out" or "you get to pick the movie, and no one complains") and let her discover them. Follow along with a camera.

　　孩子们不仅仅是喜欢寻找宝藏的人。给他们一些时间来思考有趣的线索，然后隐藏一些对于妈妈来说将会喜欢的小的礼物或优惠券(像这种你需要选择的电影《夜》，而且没有一个人提出反对的意见)，然后让妈妈们发现他们。用相机将这些时刻定格下来。

　　Set up a girls' night in for Mom.

　　为妈妈建立一个女生节。

　　If Mom hasn't had a chance to get together with girlfriends lately, why not make Mother's Day evening a special time for that? Invite a few of her best friends over, then get out of the way. Out of the house, actually, would probably be best. Let them talk, relax and enjoy some kid-free and spouse-free time together.

　　如果最近妈妈们还没有一个机会和他们的女性朋友聚在一起，为什么不让她们在母亲节的夜晚做这些呢?邀请其中她们一些最好的朋友，然后出去做这些事情。事实上，在外面的度过的一些时间，将有可能是最好的。让她们聊天，放松，享受一些和孩子、配偶一起度过的自由时间。

　　Take a family bike ride.

　　带家人一起骑自行车。

　　This is a great way to both kick off the summer season of great outdoor family adventures and to celebrate Mother's Day, so get the bikes out of the garage and into shape, find a nearby trail, and head out for a family bike ride. It's a good way to work off that fabulous lunch you made for Mom, anyway.

　　这是一个伟大的方式花费两个夏季的时间来进行户外的家庭冒险活动来庆祝母亲节 因此把自行车的车库塑造成型 寻找附近的小径 然后出去一家人一块骑自行车。无论如何，这是一个好办法在这段时间为母亲做一份令人难以置信的午餐。

　　Visit a free local attraction.

　　访问一个免费的当地景点。

　　We often forget to be like tourists in our own towns. Here in my city, there's an award-winning free zoo, a free art museum, and a free history museum, plus many parks, nature reserves and historical sites. Take the day to visit some you haven't seen before.

　　在我们自己的城镇游玩我们经常忘记自己是一名游客。在我的城市 有一个获奖免费的动物园 一个免费的艺术博物馆 一个免费的历史博物馆 加上许多公园、自然保护区和历史遗迹。你可以休息一天去游览一些你以前没见过的。

　　Have a family pajama party.

　　举办一个家庭睡衣派对。

　　Have everybody get comfy, throw on some fun music, and cook up breakfast for dinner while Mom gets to relax. Eat a leisurely meal, talk about family plans, and play a few games. Then tuck the kids into bed so Mom and Dad can continue the pajama party in their own room.

　　使每个人都得到舒适，放上一些有趣的音乐和制作早餐来使妈妈得到放松。吃一顿悠闲的午餐 谈论家庭计划 玩一些游戏。然后让孩子睡觉 妈妈和爸爸可以在他们自己的房间继续睡衣派对。

　　Create a new tradition.

　　创建一个新的传统。

　　Traditions help us create memories and give us touchstones as a family, common points of connection we can come back to even as we grow up, move away, pursue different dreams. Use Mother's Day to come up with a new family tradition, then make it something you repeat at significant times. It could be as simple as saying a family prayer or taking a family photo.

　　传统帮助我们创建记忆而且能够给我们作为一个家庭的试金石 常见的连接点是这样我们可以回到过去甚至当我们长大了 离开 追求不同的梦想时候。使用母亲节想出一个新的家庭传统 然后让它重复做一些在重要的时期做的事情。它像做一个家庭祈祷或采取一个家庭的照片这样简单。

　　Volunteer together.

　　志愿者在一起。

　　Does Mom have a special cause she's passionate about? Volunteer your time as a family and find a way to give back together. Spending a few hours together while helping others will be a gift to Mom, and will benefit you as a family as you build closer relationships and learn to appreciate your blessings.

　　妈妈有一个特殊的引起她的激情的事情吗?为了家庭献出你的时间然后寻找一种是以家人重新在一起。花几个小时在一起来帮助别人将会是送给妈妈的一个礼物 而且将有利于你像一个家庭一样你建立更紧密的关系 学会欣赏你的祝福。

　　Plan a group outing.

　　计划一个集团郊游。

　　If Mom is a social creature, then expand the family outing into a group outing. One of the things Mom is often responsible for is planning the social events, so take over that role and let her just enjoy the interaction. You can organize a picnic in the park, a group hike or bike ride, or meet up with friends for one of those free local events. Then cough up the money for some ice cream afterward.

　　如果妈妈是社会工作者 然后可以扩展到一个组织家庭外出郊游。妈妈的事情之一是经常负责计划的社会事件 所以接管这个角色 让她只是享受交互。你可以组织在公园野餐 一群徒步旅行 或者骑自行车 或者和朋友会面为其中的一个免费本地事件。然后那一些钱享受一些冰淇淋。
