Two Mother's Day cards from American Greetings. As people were rushing up to get cards for Mother's Day 2006, the editors of Insparenting.com had a big question inside their mind, "What is a mother to you?" They feel every person has different opinions about a woman called "mother." In one of the designs of Hallmark's latest Happy Mother's Day cards, it describes, "mother" is a woman who made the world a warm and happy place. At the other end, a "mother" is described as a woman who puts her home and family first, and if she is tired, she never lets it show. What will other people say? To find out about that, on this Mother's Day ( May 14, 2006), Insparenting.com launches a new survey "What Is A Mother to You?" According to the editor of Insparenting,com, Adwina Jackson, Mother's Day is a special day for everyone! That is why her team uses this day to honor mothers all over the world by launching a survey about "mother". "This survey is also to acknowledge and to show appreciation for friends, family who are mothers, as well as other important women who have had a mothering influence," said Jackson. Utilizing sophisticated database technology, Insparenting.com will publish the answer to "What Is A Mother to You" once responses to its survey have been tabulated from around the world. This survey is for everyone, all age, all gender and all status. All participants in the survey will be added to a special notification list alerting when survey results are published.  (Agencies)

当人们纷纷为2006年母亲节定制贺卡时，Insparenting网站的编辑们则在思考一个很重要的问题：“你心中的母亲是怎样的?” 他们觉得每个人对于那个被称为“母亲”的人会有着不同的看法。 贺曼贺卡公司最新出版的“母亲节快乐”系列贺卡中，有一款是这样描绘母亲的：“母亲”就是那个让世界变得温暖和快乐的女人。 贺卡的另一面上写道，“母亲”就是那个总是把家庭和家人放在第一位的人，即使累了，她也不会表现出来。 对此，其他的人有何看法呢？今年母亲节，Insparenting网站开展了一个名为“我心中的母亲”的调查。 Insparenting网站编辑艾德维娜·杰克森说，母亲节对于所有人来说都是一个具有特殊意义的日子。这也是Insparenting网站在这一天开展“母亲”主题调查，借此向全世界的母亲表达敬意的原因。 杰克森说：“还可以借此调查向做了母亲的朋友和家人、以及对你产生过母亲般影响的重要女人们表达谢意和感激之情。” Insparenting将应用先进的数据库技术将来自世界各地的回复制成表格，之后，网站将公布“我心中的母亲”的调查结果。 所有人，不分年龄、性别、地位高低，都可以参与这个调查。所有参与调查的人在调查结果公布后会得到通知。 (中国日报网站编译)
