在加拿大
本周日（5月13日）就是“母亲节”了，你想好用什么方式向母亲表达爱意了吗？要是还没想好，不如就跟小编一起学几个由mother（母亲）一词演化出来的英语单词吧。然后讲给妈妈听，妈妈看到这么好学的孩子一定很开心的！Metropolis 大都市
Nowadays, it refers to a large city ― particularly an important one.这个词现在多指大都市，尤其是地位比较重要的城市。In ancient Greece, metropolis referred to the mother city of a colony. Metropolis comes from the Greek mētēr ("mother") + polis ("city").在古希腊，metropolis指殖民地的宗主城市。Metropolis一词源于希腊语的mētēr（母亲）和polis（城市）。 Matrix 母体，背景，模型
The term originates in the Latin mater, meaning "mother."这个词源于拉丁语中的mater一词，意为“母亲”。The original (now-archaic) meaning of matrix was "uterus." Today the word usually refers to a situation or set of conditions in which something develops or forms.Matrix一词最早的意思为“子宫”（如今该用法已弃用）。现在，这个词通常指形势或者事物发展或成形的条件。评论

Alma mater refers either to a school one attended, or to that school's song.Alma mater指“母校”或者母校的校歌。The ancients used alma mater as a title for such goddesses as Ceres, the Roman goddess of the growth of food plants, and Cybele, who was worshipped as the universal mother of gods, humans, and animals.古代的人用alma mater来指代谷神星（古罗马掌管谷物生长的女神）和希比利神（亦称“众神之母”，是宇宙中一切神、人类和动物之母）。 Matrimony 婚姻
Matrimony joins two people, but that pairing is rooted in one word: mother.婚姻让两个人走到一起，不过这种联姻源自于一个词：mother（母亲）。Matrimony comes from mater, Latin for "mother." This reflects the traditional role of marriage in legalizing motherhood allowing women to produce legitimate children and heirs.Matrimony也源自于拉丁语中的mater（母亲）一词。这也反应了母系合法化过程中婚姻的传统地位，即婚姻让女人能够繁衍合法的子嗣。 Matter 物质
The fact of the matter is this: the Latin word for "mother," mater, is this word's distant ancestor.Matter一词怎么会出现在这里？事情是这样的，拉丁语中的mater（母亲）一词是matter一词的远祖。Mater was shaped into materia, meaning "physical substance" or "matter." Materia eventually developed into matter.Mater一词后来演化成materia，即“物质”。而materia一词最终演化成了matter这个词。Why did mother lead to matter? The connection is uncertain, but perhaps it's because matter is the substance from which something is made; and it is mother from which we all are made.“母亲”和“物质”之间有什么因果关系呢？答案尚不明确。或许因为物质是构成所有事物的成分，也是我们所有人成形之源头吧。
