因为上学期我参加了少年志愿者团，所以今天，我接到“朝霞夕阳相映红”的活动通知，说下午要到干部新村一户老爷爷家里去慰问他。下午出门的时候，一轮太阳火辣辣地挂在天上，听天气预报说今天的最高气温是38度，虽然天气炎热，但我心想：这是一件很有意义的事情，我一定要去做。

三点的时候，我到了二小门口集中，已经有两三个同学在那里了，一位笑容亲切的女老师把我们带到干部新村老人院的图书室分组，有三位女同学一组，去“盆景”老爷爷家里，其他六位男同学和我一组，去“象棋”老爷爷家里。

到了老爷爷的家，一进门，一只全身黑乎乎的八哥朝我们大叫“大家好!”。老爷爷、老奶奶都很热情，老爷爷拿出了一副很大的象棋让我们下，老奶奶拿出了两大盆哈密瓜请我们吃。因为我象棋下得不是很好，只好坐在沙发上边吃哈密瓜，边看那些男同学下。下了几局棋之后，老爷爷带我们去看他们家刚才和我们打招呼的那只八哥，我很感兴趣，他给我们介绍：这只八哥他养了十年，老奶奶教它说“去买菜哟!”，因此每天早上六点的时候，这只八哥便会大叫“去买菜哟!”，老奶奶便会放下手中的活，提着篮子去买菜。我心想，这只八哥被老爷爷他们养了十年，学了很多话，我也要试试看。于是我便蹲下来，对着八哥拍了拍手，八哥那双芝麻大小的眼睛立刻圆溜溜地瞪着我，我对它说“你好”，它马上回了我一句“你好，大家好”。我哈哈大笑起来。这时老爷爷又跟我们聊了聊象棋，又问了我们一些问题。一个小时很快就过去了，我们依依不舍地离开了老爷爷的家。

能够利用暑假的一些时间去陪陪老爷爷、老奶奶，和他们聊聊天、说说话是很有意义的。

有些人认为快乐就是拥有别人没有的东西和拿取别人的东西，但是这并不是真正的快乐。

如果您不知道，那么就让我来告诉您吧!那次，我的同学钱亭佳的一枝自动铅笔不见了，怎么找也找不到了。于是她告诉了我，我便和她一起寻找起来。我们找呀找，找了好久还是一无所获。于是钱亭佳有些急了，怕回家被父母责骂。我便对钱亭佳说：“没事儿的，我们再找找，也许有些地方我们还没找到，别着急。于是，我们又找了起来。 So she told me that I looked for her. We look for it, and after a long time, we still have nothing to find. So Qian Tingjia was a little anxious, fearing that he would be scolded by his parents. I said to Qian Tingjia: "Its okay, lets look for it, maybe we have not found it yet, dont worry. So, we found it again.

我蹲下来，在她的`桌肚里找了找，翻了翻，发现在一本厚厚的故事书下面好像有什么东西，于是，我把故事书轻轻地拿了出来，放在课桌上。啊!我找到了，在这里。我高兴地对钱亭佳说。心里还是有些着急的她马上跑过来。 Ah! I found it, here. I happily told Qian Tingjia. She was still a little anxious in her heart.

看见我手中的自动铅笔，高兴得跳了起来，满脸都是灿烂。我看着钱亭佳那充满了喜悦的样子，我情不自禁地和她一样笑了起来。就这样，不仅钱亭佳笑了，就连我这个帮忙的也很开心。 I watched Qian Tingjias look full of joy, and I couldnt help laughing like her. In this way, not only Qian Tingjia laughed, but even my help was very happy.

这就是真正的快乐，并不是从别人那里得到什么，也不是拥有了别人所没有的东西。

其实，得到真正的快乐，并不是很难的，关键在您是如何理解真正的快乐的!

虽然除夕已经过去，但是，当时幸福的情景，我依然记忆犹新。

早晨，爸爸妈妈很早就起床忙和了，第一件事就是做家务，我也帮妈妈把房子打扫的干干净净，爸爸就忙着去街上帮奶奶买晚上做年夜饭的菜。窗外不时传来阵阵鞭炮声，一片热热闹闹的景象。

到了傍晚，我们来到了奶奶家，家里可热闹了，连在外地的姑姑和哥哥也回来了。厨房里，爸爸叔叔和奶奶三个人在用锅碗瓢盆演奏一首“厨房进行曲”。不一会儿，音乐停了，要开饭了，爷爷扔了一串鞭炮到门外，年夜饭便正式开始了。

大家上了桌，一起举杯，祝新年快乐。我一看桌子，鸡鸭鱼肉全摆满了，散发出阵阵清香。当然，还有必不可少的饺子，今年，哥哥刚刚从大学毕业，顺利找到了工作，于是我就举杯祝贺他，他也祝我学习进步。大家在饭桌上有说有笑，真是其乐融融啊。

饭后，我们坐在沙发上看春晚，春晚的节目真多啊，有杂技，有唱歌，还有舞蹈，我记得最牢的就是刘谦的魔术，刘谦摆出了一面魔镜，把吸管对着镜子里的杯子吸，居然把杯子里的咖啡喝完了，现场传来阵阵惊呼，我们也拍手叫好，简直演的天衣无缝。

新年的钟声敲响了，门外传来了震耳欲聋的鞭炮声，真是：爆竹声声辞旧岁，欢歌笑语迎新春！

Mrs. Wang is one of the teachers I love very much. She was my English teacher in primary school. She was in charge of our class. Having taught for thirty-five years, Mrs. Wang who was fifty-five years old then, was naturally an experienced teacher. She was very strict with us. If any student wasnt attentive in class, she would have a talk with him after class. But if anyone had difficulty with his studies, she always did what she could to help him out.

Once there was something wrong with her eyes. The doctor suggested that she should have an operation. Thinking that we were going to have the final exam soon, she decided to put off. And she worked as hard as before. I respect Mrs. Wang and Ill never forget what she did for us.

每个人都渴望成功，期盼成功，但成功是什么?什么才算是成功呢?我认为所谓的成功就是不断的超越自我，完善自我的过程。 Everyone is eager to succeed, expect success, but what is success? What is successful?process.

星期天，爸爸的朋友来我家做客，临走时给了我两张《挑战极限》票。在爸爸的鼓励下，我们决定到现场亲身体验一下。

刚进门，就感觉天一下子变黑了，四周还冷嗖嗖的，一个工作人员把我领进了一个大型的圆盘上，圆盘上有一座桥，桥是用无数的铁丝和木板穿插而成的，桥上的木板只有半米宽，而且我发现它还是一座会自由旋转的桥，一座可以360度旋转的桥，当它旋转时还能听到呼呼的声音，我看到着一切时都惊呆了，这，这，这，太恐怖了吧，万一我掉下来会怎么样呢?会不会摔个稀巴烂呀，我不要尝试了，我不要了，我要回家。

我扭头就回，嗵的一下我撞到了一个人，我抬头一看原来是爸爸，爸爸笑眯眯的说：“怎么了，怕了，还没有尝试就害怕了，这可不是男子汉的作为呀，不要害怕，我在你身边，我相信你一定会战胜自己的，人生就是在不停的超越自己呀。”听了爸爸的话我好像一下子就有了无穷的力量，我的胆子一下子就变大了。

于是我和爸爸一起站到桥上，这时工作人员把安全带给我们扎好，开始了，桥慢慢的转动，一圈一圈的，我觉的没什么好怕的呀，突然桥就像疯了一下，忽上忽下的，速度好快，我感觉一下子到天上又一下子就落到了地上，让人感觉很可怕，我大声的叫了起来。在我大喊;“爸爸我怕…”在我的大叫声中桥来了个360度的旋转，啊。

我的头就要碰到地面了，它又忽的一下把我来了个水平，我刚深深的吸口气它又来了个右翻，一次次，我惊叫，一次次，我被吓的只想哭，我好想说：“我不玩了，我认输”。这时爸爸的话在我耳边想起：我相信你，你一定会成功的，对，我一定要成功，我要向所有人证明我是最棒的。在巨大的力量的驱使下我不在害怕，我的身体随着桥一起飞翔，我感觉我就像一只快乐的小鸟，我欢呼，我兴奋，我终于战胜了自己。

我成功了，我成功了，成功后的我是多么的快乐，这种快乐将永远激励着我前进。在人生的道路上将会有无数的困难，只要我们坚持不懈，勇往直前，不断的超越自我，就是人生的成功。

我记得自己小时候常常和我的小伙伴们去爬山，去摘花，去溪边捉虾，捉鱼，多快乐啊!

但是，在我的记忆里，只是清清楚楚的记得和小伙伴们一起烤番薯的快乐。有一次，我们玩的特别快乐!

我记得那一次是我快满十岁的时候，和一群小伙伴和我13岁的表姐一起去烤番薯的。走着，走着，走到了一个商店我们买了好多好吃的东西，这好像去春游一样。

过了一会，到了一座后马的山上去了，爬了快半个小时才爬到了一个可以烤番薯的地方是在好不过的啦。那边还有一个的池塘，水很清澈，真想跳下去洗个澡啊!还有鱼呢!于是，我们分好几个小伙伴捉鱼，几个去挖个洞先烤番薯。大家都行动起来了，今天是晴朗的，我们又那么快乐，真好真好!

烤番薯哦。过了一会，番薯快要考好了，在捉鱼的伙伴们回来了，我们用树枝叉鱼，我们围在一起靠番薯和鱼，还有说有笑，真开心，真快乐啊!

好了，好了，番薯可以吃了，我们高兴的吃了起来。过了不久，鱼也烤好了，我们又是吃番薯又是吃鱼，吃都来不及呢。时间过的真快，太阳就快下山了，我们也把火灭了，下了山，然后高兴的回家了!

回到家中，我在想今天真是好玩。如果以后有机会，我们还要一起去玩耍!

10月1日是国庆节,我们一家人决定去爬山。我们兴高采烈地准备好行李,带上我的小狗，出发了。

我们开着车去水濂山,谁知，开着开着,突然下雨了,雨下得像似的，打在车身上，啪啪响，我们小心翼翼地开着车。

到了目的地,我们一起穿着雨鞋,雨衣,走到了山脚下,"好冷啊!汪汪!"我们四个异口同声地说。我们走啊走, 走到了一家饭店里,我们去那里躲雨吧!"爸爸慢吞吞地说，我和妈妈也赞同。

我们去饭店吃了一顿饭,雨也停了,我们飞快地往山下跑去,哇，山上人山人海,热闹极了!爬呀爬,又下雨了,我们叹了一口气。我们一会儿被链子勾到衣服,一会儿又被树枝勾到头发。“这有一个好美丽的瀑布啊!”妈妈兴奋地说。“很多瀑布都还不错,但这是最美丽的瀑布了!”爸爸认真地说。我们看到一个大的旅游团,他们边走边说:“早知道就不来了!”我心里想这真是一群懒惰的家伙!

快要爬到顶了,结果爸爸一边叹气,一边说: “真是累死了!

早知道我在车里睡觉那该多好!“妈妈生气地说: “是你自己说的!”后来,我们爬到了顶楼了。坐着休息了一会儿,等到我们醒了,已经11:00了,我们飞快地跑去出口,坐上车了。

这真是一次有趣的雨中爬山,“我好喜欢爬山!”我正准备跟爸爸妈妈说话,发现他们已经睡着了,也真扫兴。

You’ll soon be 84 years old,Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with you. I’ve always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.

今天我在商场的时候, 我读了好长时间的有关“父亲节”的贺卡。那些卡片上面的文字很特别，也或多或少地表达出了我对您的感受。我挑选读过一次后，又挑选读了一遍，但那并不是一张贺卡所能表达出我想对您说的话的。爸爸，很快您就要84岁了，您和我也将度过这第55个“父亲节”。“父亲节”的那天，我总是不能和您在一起，连您过生日的时候我也是这样，但这并不是因为我不想陪在您身边。其实，在我心里，我总是和您在一起。不过，有的时候，生活也会有差错。

You know, Dad, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized by it. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other, father and daughter split apart by age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing, curfews, music, and boys.

The Father-Daughter Duel of ’54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the ‘54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who escorted me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a snotty 16 year old. You were so decent about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.Our relationship improved immensely when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we begin making babies right and left. We didn’t have a television set, you know, and we had to entertain ourselves somehow. I didn’t know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didn’t have to wait long to find out. Those babies adored you then just as they adore you now. When I see you with all your grandchildren, I know you’ve given them the finest gift a grandparent can give. You’ve given them yourself.

爸爸，您也知道，我们父女俩曾有一段时间因为代沟不在一起过，比如年龄、个人阅历、观点、发型、化妆、服装、音乐、作息时间以及男朋友，因为

这些，我们的观点也非常对立。您站在“大分离”的一端，我站在“大分离”的另一端。

那时，您教我学开那部道奇旧车，可我却不管您喜欢不喜欢执意要开雪拂兰’54那辆车。当时，我们父女俩关于雪拂兰汽车的争执也调到了最高挡。可那天晚上，您却报警说雪拂兰车被盗。之后，一个警官把我护送到家，可他太年轻了，根本不明白我们父女俩之间的政治斗争，可他也不小了，对一个16岁的流鼻涕的小孩却没有太多的耐心。爸爸，您倒对这件事处理得很体面，而我想那可能是我一生中最糟糕的一个夜晚吧。

在我嫁了一个您喜欢的女婿后，我们俩之间的关系才缓和了好多。后来，我们为了好好地生个孩子，就离开了，我们之间的那些事情也就结束了。这事您也知道，我们没有电视机看，我们就只好自娱自乐了。我不知道我还能对作为外公外婆的您和妈妈抱什么期望，但是，不要等到很久我就会找到答案。过去那些孩子热爱您，现在他们还像以前那样热爱您。当我看见您和您的外孙在一起的时候，我知道您都已经给了他们最好的礼物，您把心都掏给他们了。Somewhere along the line, the generation gap evaporated. Age separates us now and little else. We agree on most everything,

perhaps because we’ve learned there isn’t much worth disagreeing about. However, I would like to mention that fly fishing isn’t all you’ve cracked it up to be, Dad. You can say what you want about wrist action and stance and blah, blah, blah...

I’ve been happily drifting for a lot of years, Dad, and I didn’t see you getting older.

I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. Numbers never seemed important. But the oddest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn’t immediately occur to me

that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day. Or maybe I saw my own.

就是这样，您我之间的代沟慢慢消失了。现在年龄和其它一些问题的差异把您和我分开，可我们在很多事情的上的看法都是一样的，这可能是因为我们明白了没有那么多的事情值得我们争辩吧。然而，我想提示一下的是，爸爸，飞蝇钓鱼是您最喜欢的一种钓法，您可以说些您想做的手腕动作，站姿和一些没有用的话什么的。

爸爸，虽然我已经漂泊很多年了，但是我很快乐。然而，我却发现您没有变老，还是那么年轻。

随着年龄的增长，我认和我之间的关系慢慢地融洽了好多，就像是一瓶好酒，越陈越香。家人看起来好像没有一点意义似的，但是，上周发生了一件最奇怪的事情，我站在停车标志旁，看见您开着车要拐弯。可是我并没有立刻反映到那是爸爸您。因为那个人开着车，又在那部大车的车轮后面，就显得他岁数很大，身体也很虚弱的样子。可我却感到不知道从哪里飞来的一记耳光似的重重地打在我的脸上，也许，那是我第一次“看见”您的年龄，也许，只有我自己看见罢了。

Fifty years ago this spring we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa.

I didn’t know then that I would remember that day for the rest of my life. This week, we’ll plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don’t understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is. And the funny thing about it is, well, I don’t know quite how to tell you this, Dad...I don’t even like kohlrabi...but I like planting it with you.I guess what I’m trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a Father on Father’s Day is about more than a Dad who brings home a paycheck, shares a dinner table, and attends school functions, graduations, and weddings. It isn’t even so much about kohlrabi, ’54 Chevrolets, and fly-fishing. It’s more about unconditionally loving children who are snotty and stubborn, who know everything and won’t listen to anyone. It’s about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and

giving and taking. It’s about loving someone more than words can say，and it’s wishing that it never had to end.

I love you, Dad.

五十年前的一个春天，我们在依阿华州查理斯市的一个花园一起栽下苤蓝菜。

当时我也不知道我以后会怀念那一天。这一周，我们还要在一起栽苤蓝菜，这是第二次。也许，这是最后一次，可我并不希望那样。我不明白为什么我和您一起栽苤蓝菜我会感到很有意义，可事实上就有意义。而且，关于这个，有个有意思的事情，可我不知道该怎么和您说这事，爸爸?? 我不喜欢苤蓝菜??但是，我却喜欢和您一起栽苤蓝菜。

爸爸，我想我想要说的话是每个作儿女的今天想和他们爸爸要说的话。过“父亲节”，给父亲这么一个大的荣誉，决不是因为爸爸给家里挣多少钱，和家人一起共进晚餐，参加学校活动，参加毕业典礼和婚礼的原因，也不止是一起栽苤蓝菜，开雪拂兰’54车和飞蝇钓鱼的事，也不止是您毫无理由地爱那些流鼻涕又很淘气，而且什么都懂，就是不听话的小孩。这就是尊重对方，分享

快乐，认同和忍受他人，给予和接受吧，您对别人的爱也是不能用言语来表达的，希望这些永不终止。
