“美国甜蜜日”的目的是让人们开心，那么你知道它的起源吗？
Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy.It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick，the aged，and children who have lost their parents，but also friends，workmates，relatives and neighbors 1
Over 60 years ago，when a Cleveland man noticed that some people，such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed，too often felt forgotten and neglected， 2 He did this by giving them small gifts.With the help of his friends and neighbors，he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October.During the years that followed，other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration，which came to be called “Sweetest
Day”．Over time，the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor，the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone，and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. 3
