后天，也就是6月20日。就是父亲节了!大家准备给爸爸什么礼物呢?不如我给大家提提意见吧?

大部分的爸爸都喜欢晚上熬夜看球赛，如果你也像我一样，是个小小的球迷，那么就跟随你的爸爸这个老球迷看一场精彩的球赛吧!

如果你的爸爸不喜欢足球，而且这天还不在家，那你就趁着时机，把爸爸的鞋子、袜子、衣服……都拿出来洗一洗吧!

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!

那么，我的礼物想好了，你们准备在父亲节这天给爸爸怎样的惊喜呢?

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.

Today is fathers day, when I went to school, I heard my classmates were

discussing about what to buy for their fathers. Some suggested to buy food,

others wanted to do something special by themselves. At last, an idea occurred

to my mind, I could cook a dinner for my father. So I rushed home after class.

My mother was preparing dinner. I told her my idea and she supported me. I did

as what my mother told me. I washed the food and then cut the meat and

vegetable. I learned it was not easy to cook a meal. I finished two dishes

finally. My father was very happy to taste them. It was such a special

surprise.

The first fathers day was in June, 5th, 1910, United Stated. In 1909, a

lady called Bruce Dodd put forward that people should establish father’s day. At

that time, people only celebrated the mothers day, but nobody celebrate

fathers day yet. Lady Dodd had lost her mother when she was very young, her

father raised her grew up. Lady Dodd was so thankful for what her father had

done for her that she wrote a letter to the government. In the letter, she

appeals to establish the fathers day. The government accepted her suggestion

and decided that the third Sunday of June is the national father’s day. In 1972,

the president Nixon had passed the law and agreed that the father’s day is on

June the third Sunday. From this year, the world started to celebrate father’s

day.

On this special day, the children usually dedicate flowers to their

fathers. The red roses to those who still alive, while the white ones to the

fallings. Fathers always are considered being the central of the whole family.

Without father in the family, home may feel insecure. The father always fights

for the family and support the family. On this day, we can do something for our

fathers. For instance, we can make a breakfast for them, or buy them a nice tie.

We should spend more time with our father, show our love to them.

The father’s day is coming, take this chance, and tell our fathers that we

love him. Happy father’s day!

My father I think my father is a kind man, he love help people, and always forget to do something for himself. He has a good sence of humor, yes, I like that. That always make us happy. I think he is a friend of mine. Because he always talk with me. I often feel I am not his daughter but his friend. I think that my father is a good father and also a good worker. He works very hard. So he can’t play with me or my mum for long time. He think work will make him happy because work has many funny. So he always teaches me: don’t think work is a hard thing. My father has many hobby. For example, he like reading, and he also like play computer game. He use his hobby to realx. He can feel very happy if he work, and also play. He is a good man, isn’t he?

Dear Dad，

Today is father’s day， for so many years I’ve been seekig a way to express my heartfelt thanks for all you have done for me. Here comes it!

Thank you for always being there sharing my life when I need you most. Whenever I encounter difficulties， I never feel alone and vulnerable， because you will keep me on the right path. I’m blessed to have you.

Thank you for offering me education and teaching me how to be a man. You always inspire me not by words， but by what you have done!

Thank you for always appreciating my work， no matter how tiny it is! You have made me realize that it’s capacity not scores that really counts.

Father‘s day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. in fact when a "father‘s day" was first proposed there were no father‘s day cards!

mrs. john b. dodd, of washington, first proposed the idea of a "father‘s day" in 1909. mrs. dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, william smart. william smart, a civil war veteran, was widowed when his wife (mrs. dodd‘s mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. mr. smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern washington state. it was after mrs. dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.

the first father‘s day was observed on june 19, 1910 in spokane washington. at about the same time in various towns and cities across american other people were beginning to celebrate a "father‘s day." in 1924 president calvin coolidge supported the idea of a national father‘s day. finally in 1966 president lyndon johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd sunday of june as father‘s day.

father‘s day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on father‘s day.

译文

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。

世界上的第一个父亲节，1910年诞生在美国，是由住在美国华盛顿州斯波坎的布鲁斯多德夫人倡导的，多德夫人的母亲在生育第六个孩子时，因难产而死。

The worlds first fathers day, was born in 1910 in USA, is advocated by Bruce in Spokane in America Washington, Mrs. Dodd, Mrs. Dodds mother gave birth to sixth children, died in childbirth.

多德夫人的父亲威廉斯马特先生曾参加过南北战争，他在妻子过世后，独自一人在华盛顿州东部的一个乡下农场，承担起抚养、教育六个孩子的重任。

Mrs Dodds father Mr. William Smart participated in the civil war, he was after his wife died, alone on a rural farm in eastern Washington state, take on the responsibility of raising six children, education.

多德夫人在家中排行老二，亦是家里唯一的女孩。女性的细心特质，让她更能体会父亲的辛劳，斯马特先生白天辛劳地工作，晚上回家还要照料家务与每一个孩子的生活。经过几十年的辛苦，儿女们终于长大成人，当子女们盼望能让斯马特先生好好安享晚年之际，斯马特先生却因多年的过度劳累于1909年辞世。

Mrs. Dodd ranked second child at home, is also the only girl in the family. The female character carefully, let her be able to understand his fathers hard work, Mr Smarts hard work during the day, at home to take care of the household and the life of every child. After decades of hard work, the children finally grown up, when the children are looking forward to allow Mr Smart to enjoy the old age comes, Mr. Smart was due to years of overwork died in 1909.

1909年斯马特先生辞世之年，当多德夫人参加完教会的母亲节感恩礼拜后，她特别想念父亲。多德夫人心中明白，她的父亲在养育儿女过程中所付出的爱和艰辛，并不亚于任何一个母亲。多德夫人将她的感受告诉给教会的瑞马士牧师，希望能有一个特别的日子，纪念全天下伟大的父亲。

MR smart died 1909 years, when Mrs. Dodd attended the churchs mothers Day Thanksgiving week, she particularly miss father. Mrs Dodd knew, her father to pay in the parenting process for love and hardships, is not less than that of a mother. Mrs. Dodd will tell her to the Church of the rasmus, hoping that there will be a special day, to commemorate the world great father.

她的这一想法得到了牧师的赞许，同时得到了各教会组织的支持。多德夫人随即写信向市长与州政府表达了自己的想法，并建议以她父亲的生日——每年的6月5日作为父亲节，斯波坎市市长与华盛顿州州长公开表示赞成。州政府采纳这一建议的同时，把节期改在6月的第三个星期日。

This idea has been praised her pastor, and got the support of various church organizations. Mrs. Dodd immediately wrote a letter to the mayor and the state government to express their ideas, and proposed to her fathers birthday, June 5th of each year as the fathers day, the mayor and the governor of the state of Washington Spokane said publicly in favor of. The government accepted the proposal at the same time, the change in the third Sunday of June.

1910年6月19日多德夫人所在的华盛顿州斯波坎市，举行了全世界的第一次父亲节庆祝活动，在差不多的时间里，美国各地其它城镇的人们也开始庆祝“父亲节”。

In June 19, 1910 Mrs Dodd of Spokane Washington, held the worlds first fathers Day celebration, at the same time, people in other cities and towns across the United States began to celebrate fathers day".

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。

Yesterday was Father‘s Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn‘t remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him.

Suddenly I got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.

What a wonderful surprise!
