Dear Dad, 亲爱的爸爸:
Today 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,花了好长时间来读父亲节贺卡上的文字。那些卡片上面的文字都传递出特别的信息,也或多或少地表达出了我对您的感受。可我反复地挑呀读呀,却发现没有一张贺卡能够表达出我真正想对您说的话。
Youll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Fathers Days together. 爸,很快您就84岁了,我和您也将一起度过这第55个父亲节。
You know, Dad, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely 1)polarized by it. You stood on one side of 2)the Great Divide and I on the other, father and daughter split apart by age and experience, opinion hairstyle cosmetic clothing, 3)curfew music, and boys. 爸,您也知道,有一段时间,代沟不仅仅让我们父女俩疏远,它简直就让我们处于对立面。我们站在大分水岭的两边,父女俩常因年龄、个人阅历、观点、发型、化妆、服装、晚上回家的时间规定、音乐以及男朋友而闹翻。
The Father-Daughter Duel of 54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old 4)Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 5)Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who 6)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 7)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. 那时,您教我学开那部道奇旧车,可我却不管您喜欢不喜欢,执意要开那辆54年产的雪佛兰。因为此事,我们的父女之争也在1954年发展到了顶点。那天深夜,您报警说雪佛兰车被盗。之后,一名警官把我护送回家。可他太年轻了,根本不明白父女之间的对抗游戏;但他也不小了,因此,不能容忍一个脾气暴躁的16岁少女的行为。爸爸,您对这件事的处理倒是很得体。那是我一生中最难受的一个夜晚,我想您的态度可能就是原因吧。
【心灵鸡汤:爸爸,祝您父亲节快乐!】相关文章:
