一个特殊的父亲节英语作文（经典20篇）

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。

1909年，美国的索诺拉?道得呼吁建立父亲节。She wanted to honor her own father. 她的父亲是一个老兵。她的母亲在生孩子的时候去世了。Her father raised six children by himself. 在索诺拉?道得的努力下 不错哦 你也可以投稿，人们接受了设立父亲节的建议，并确定6月份的第三个星期天为Father s Day。因为索诺拉父亲的生日是在6月。

Nowadays many countries celebrate Father s Day, though not all on the same day.Most countries celebrate Father s Day as the United States does. In Australia, Father s Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in September. 许多天主教徒将圣约瑟夫日(St. Joseph s Day)当作父亲节，因为约瑟夫是耶稣的父亲。St. Joseph s Day is March 19th.

Father s Day is an important day. It is a good chance to show your love to your father.

这个周日就是父亲节了，别忘了向老爸表达你的心意哦!A yellow rose could be a good idea. A sunflower is also a good choice. You can send your father a card, too. Don t forget to write your wishes on the card!

父亲们也很伟大。They do a lot for us. 他们用强壮的身躯保护我们的家。Tell your father you love him. 每一天都该向老爸表示你的孝心哦!

Happy Fathers Day

Today is the fathers day,I want to buy a gift for my dad .

今天是父亲节，我想为爸爸买个礼物。

I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Fathers Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, and selected and read again, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.

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。

Youll soon be 42 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Fathers Days together. I havent always been with you on Fathers Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays. It wasnt because I didnt want to be with you. Ive always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.

爸爸，很快您就要42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。

Happy Fathers Day,my dear dad.

父亲节快乐，我亲爱的爸爸。

Fathers Day is on the third Sunday of June. Everyone will express their

love to fathers. In Chinese tradition, the role of father is always described as

a quiet man. Though he doesnt talk much, the way he shows his love can be seen

all the time. Father deserves the applause as mother.

Most peoples impression about a father comes from a classic article they

learned in primary school. The article described a traditional father sent his

son to school at the station. When the boy saw his fathers back, he felt so

touched. The essay has been read by generations and they know a father’s way to

show love.

Unlike the western countries, where people show love by kiss and hug, the

children are educated to show their love openly, Chinese way to show love are

much invisible. Many people feel hard to speak out the word love. For the young

parents, they start to make some change. They express their emotion bravely.

Love needs to be spoken out. We should let our parents to know we love them

every day.

I am a girl of ten, and I live in a small mountain village far from Taiyuan. The only person that lives with me is my mother, because my father is away for eight years, working in a city.

我是一个十岁的女孩，我住在离太原很远的一个小山村。这与我的生活的唯一的人是我的妈妈，因为我父亲离家已经八年了，在一个城市工作。

During the Spring Festival, my father came back home. He looked thin and tired. He gave my mother two thousand yuan, and told her that he would work even harder, earn more money, and then he could take us to the city He stayed at home for only ten days.We are living a poor life now. But what I want most is not money, but my father. I miss him very much!

春节期间，我的父亲回到家里。他看起来瘦瘦的，很累。他给了我母亲二千元，并告诉她，他会更加努力工作，赚更多的钱，然后他可以带我们到他呆在家里，只有十天的城市。我们生活在一个贫穷的生活。但我最需要的不是钱，而是我的父亲。我很想念他!

Fathers Day is a festival of thanking our fathers. About started in the early 20th century, originated in the United States, it has been widely circulated around the world, but its date is different because of the differences of the regions. The date of the most popular is on the third Sunday of June each year, and there are 52 countries and regions in the world celebrating the fathers day on this day. They have various ways of celebration, most of which is related to gifts and family dinner or other activities.

父亲节是感谢我们的父亲的节日。大约在20世纪初开始,起源于美国,在世界广泛流传,但它的日期是不同的,因为不同的地区。最受欢迎的日期是每年6月的第三个星期日,世界上有52个国家和地区在这一天庆祝父亲节。他们有不同的庆祝方式,大部分有关礼物和家庭聚餐或其他活动。

今天是父亲节，我想送给爸爸一个特殊的父亲节礼物，送什么才是特殊的呢?想来想去，我想到了，我可以做道菜给爸爸吃。

做什么菜呢?想了半天我决定就炒一道美味土豆丝!说干就干，我从橱柜下面的袋子里挑了四个大大的土豆，认真地削起了皮，削好之后又把他们放在水龙头下面冲干净，然后我又拿了几只辣椒洗干净。该切菜了，我先把辣椒切成一小块一小块的，很快就切完了，我不禁想：切菜还挺容易的。可是很快，切土豆却把我难住了，一切一滑，特别费力，还好几次差点切到了手指。好不容易切完了，我疲惫地放下菜刀，长长地舒了口气。

低头一看，我切的哪是土豆丝啊，分明是板凳腿，长的长、短的短、粗的粗、细的细……哎。

准备就绪后，我把火一打，油一倒，火急火燎地把菜和辣椒倒了进去，拿着铲子学着妈妈平时炒菜的样子翻了起来，土豆丝和辣椒在几个回合之后呈现出了亮黄色，我心想，炒好了一定很好吃，就一边翻菜一边美滋滋地唱起了歌。没想到，一滴油一下子蹦进我的嘴里，把我烫得龇牙咧嘴，赶紧丢下铲子跑到外面喝了好几口冷水，这才好点。突然，我闻到了一股怪味，遭了!我的菜!我连忙跑到厨房，用铲子把菜了翻了两下，就发现有一部分已经黑了。我又赶紧手忙脚乱的放上了各种调料，然后拿筷子尝了一根，太淡，我又加了一勺盐翻了两下把火关掉，小心翼翼地把菜盛到盘子里。

晚上，爸爸回来后，看到我为他炒的菜，问今天是什么日子，我跟爸爸说：“今天是父亲节，这是我给你的特殊的父亲节礼物。”爸爸听了后非常的开心，把我炒的菜全部都吃了。

Fathers Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males, just as Mothers Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Fathers Day is celebrated on different days in different countries.

Fathers Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers Day is celebrated on Saint Josephs Day, March 19, though in most countries Fathers Day is a secular celebration.

In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other childrens programs commonly have activities to make Fathers Day gifts.

In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the celebration of Fathers Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston, Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarviss efforts to establish Mothers Day. Although she initially suggested June 5, the anniversary of her fathers death, she did not provide the organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Fathers Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane.

Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Fathers Day a holiday to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.

父亲节是一个节日来庆祝父亲和育儿男性,就像母亲节庆祝母亲节。通常赠送礼物来庆祝父亲和家庭的主要事件。父亲节是在不同的国家在不同的日子庆祝。

父亲节的存在几乎世界各地的纪念,纪念父亲或祖先。在罗马天主教传统,父亲节是庆祝圣约瑟夫的一天,3月19日,尽管在大多数国家父亲节是一个世俗的庆祝活动。

近年来,零售商已经适应了假日销售以男性为主导的电子设备和工具等礼物。学校和其他孩子的项目通常有活动让父亲节礼物。

在美国,背后的推动力量建立父亲节的庆祝活动是索诺拉智能多德夫人,华盛顿出生于中地定居下来。她的父亲,内战老兵威廉杰克逊聪明,作为一个单亲举起了他的六个孩子在斯波坎,华盛顿。她的灵感来自安娜贾维斯的努力建立母亲节。虽然她最初建议6月5日的周年纪念她的父亲死后,她没有向组织者提供足够的时间来安排,和庆祝活动延期到6月的第三个星期日。第一个父亲节是庆祝6月19日,1910年,在斯波坎。

非官方支持等人物威廉•詹宁斯•布莱恩是直接和普遍。伍德罗·威尔逊总统在1916年亲自款待了他的家人。总统卡尔文柯立芝建议它作为1924年国定假日。1966年,林登·约翰逊总统父亲节假期是6月的第三个星期日庆祝。假期直到1972年才正式承认,在总统理查德·尼克松。

今天是星期天，天还没有亮，我已经早早的起床了。我悄悄的来到了爸爸、妈妈的房间，看到他们睡的正香呢!今天是父亲节，我要送给爸爸一份特殊的礼物。

Today is Sunday, the sky is still bright, I have to get up early. I quietly went to the father, the mothers room, to see their sleep is sweet! Today is fathers day, I want to give my dad a special gift.

我赶紧跑进了自己的卧室，拿出作文纸，便开始写《我的父亲》这一篇作文了。因为我曾经问过爸爸，父亲节最希望我送给他什么礼物，爸爸告诉我说：“爸爸什么都不要，只要你给我写一篇好的作文。”我用心的写好作文，悄悄的把它放在了爸爸的床头上，便又回到我的卧室假装睡觉去了。不一会儿，我还真的睡着了。一阵响声把我惊醒了，我飞快的跑下床，突然爸爸把我抱了起来，我对爸爸说：“爸爸，祝您节日快乐!”我楼住爸爸的脖子，想到了生活中爸爸对我的关爱。

I quickly ran into his bedroom, took out the writing paper and began to write "my father" in this essay. Because I asked the father, fathers Day gift that I gave him what, dad told me: "Dad, what are not, as long as you give me to write a good composition." I carefully written essay, quietly put it in his fathers bed, he came to my room to go to sleep. In a moment, I actually fell asleep. A noise woke me up, I ran out of bed, suddenly my father picked me up and I said to my father: "Dad, I wish you a happy holiday!" My fathers neck, live, think of my fathers love life.

这真是一个难忘的星期天啊!在这个特殊的节日里，我真诚的对天下所有的父亲说：“您辛苦了!祝愿您节日幸福、快乐 !”

It was a memorable Sunday! On this special day, I sincerely to all the worlds father said: "you have worked hard! Wish you happy, happy holidays! "

When I was five my biological father committed suicide. It left me feeling as though I‘d done something wrong; that if I had been better somehow maybe he‘d have stayed around. My mother remarried shortly thereafter and this man was my dad until I was nineteen. I called him Dad and used his name all through school. But when he and my mother divorced he just walked away. Once again I wondered what was wrong with me that I couldn‘t keep a father.

Mother remarried again and Bob was a wonderful kind man. I was twenty now and no longer living at home but I felt a great love and attachment for him. A few years later my mother was diagnosed with cancer and was not given long to live. Shortly before she died Bob came over to my house alone one day. We talked about a lot of things and then he told me that he wanted me to know that he‘d always be there for me even after Mother was gone. Then he asked if he could adopt me.

I could hardly believe my ears. Tears streamed down my face. He wanted me - me! This man had no obligation to me but he was reaching out from his heart and I accepted. During the adoption proceedings the judge commented on all the undesirable duties of his profession and then with a tear in his eye thanked us for brightening his day as he pronounced us father and daughter. I was twenty-five but I was his little girl.

Three short years later Bob too was diagnosed with cancer and was gone within the year. At first I was hurt and angry at God for taking this father away too. But eventually the love and acceptance that I felt from Dad came through again and I became once more grateful for the years we had.

On Father‘s Day I always reflect on what I‘ve learned about fatherhood. I‘ve learned that it is not dependent on biology or even on raising a child. Fatherhood is a matter of the heart. Bob‘s gift from the heart will warm my soul for eternity.

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。

爸爸，我爱您……

但如果你干不了这样的苦力活，就帮你的爸爸戒烟吧!不是一辈子都不让爸爸吸烟，而是在这一天内，不让爸爸再吸烟，并对他说：“今天是父亲节，您不能吸烟，吸烟有害健康的!”

再如果，你爸爸是个不吸烟、不喝酒，不爱看足球的人，那你就帮助爸爸减轻一点工作吧，如果你爸爸是个晚上要写文件或者什么的人，那你就帮爸爸冲一杯咖啡或者茶吧!

反正，父亲节这天，一定要让爸爸健康、快乐!

dear dad，

today i was at the shopping mall and i spent a lot of time reading the father’s day cards. they all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how i feel about you. yet as i selected and read, and selected and read again, it occurred to me that not a single card said what i really want to say to you.

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.

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.

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.
