2 father and mother与mother and father

汉语总是说“父母”,不会说“母父”,是不是英语也一定要说 father and mother,不能说mother and father 呢?但我在试卷上看到了mother and father 的用法。

没错,汉语的习惯是要说“父母”,不说“母父”,但英语说 father and mother 与mother and father 都可以。在古代中国,以男性为尊,所以要说“父母”(父在前,母在后);同样的原因,汉语要说“兄妹”,不说“妹兄”,但英语说 brother and sister 和 sister and brother 都可以。这也在一定程度上体现了英美国家的男女平等。(不再举例,你随便查一本词典都有相关例句,网上也有大量例句)
