1、 双语散文：爸爸，父亲节快乐Dear Dad，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 car
2、d said what I really want to say to you.亲爱的爸爸：转载自:考试大 - 233.Com今日我在商场的时候, 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殊，也或多或少地表达出了我对您的感受。我选择读过一次后，又选择读了一遍，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 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Fathers Days together. I havent always been with you on Fathers Day nor h
3、ave 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，但这并不是由于我不想陪在您身边。其实，在我心里，我总是和您在一起。不过，有的时候，生活也会有过失。You know, Dad, there

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.爸爸，您也知道，我们父女俩曾有一段时
5、间由于代沟不在一起过，比方年龄、个人阅历、观点、发型、化装、服装、音乐、作息时间以及男朋友，由于这些，我们的观点也特别对立。您站在“大分别”的一端，我站在“大分别”的另一端。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 y
6、ou 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.考试大在线考试中心那时，您教我学开那部道奇旧车，可我却不管您喜爱不喜爱执
7、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吵也调到了挡。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急躁。爸爸，您倒对这件事处理得很风光，而我想那可能是我一生中最糟糕的一个夜晚吧。Our relationship improved immensely when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we begin making babies right and lef
8、t. We didnt have a television set, you know, and we had to entertain ourselves somehow. I didnt know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didnt 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 yo
9、uve given them the finest gift a grandparent can give. Youve given them yourself.在我嫁了一个您喜爱的女婿后，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完毕了。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。过去那些孩子喜爱您，现在他们还像以前那样喜爱您。当我观察您和您的外孙在一起的时候，我知道您都已经给了他们的礼物，您把心都掏给他们了。Somewhere along the
10、line, the generation gap evaporated. Age separates us now and little else. We agree on most everything, perhaps because weve learned there isnt much worth disagreeing about. However, I would like to mention that fly fishing isnt all youve cracked it up to be, Dad. You can say what you want about wri
11、st action and stance and blah, blah, blah就是这样，您我之间的代沟渐渐消逝了。现在年龄和其它一些问题的差异把您和我分开，可我们在许多事情的上的看法都是一样的，这可能是由于我们明白了没有那么多的事情值得我们争论吧。然而，我想提示一下的是，爸爸，飞蝇钓鱼是您最喜爱的一种钓法，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。Ive been happily drifting for a lot of years, Dad, and I didnt see you getting older.爸爸，虽然我已经漂泊许多年了，但是我很欢乐。然而，我却发觉您没
12、有变老，还是那么年轻。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 didnt immediately occur to me that it was you because th
13、e 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.随着年龄的增长，我认为您和我之间的关系渐渐地融洽了好多，就像是一瓶好酒，越陈越香。家人看起来似乎没有一点意义似的，但是，上周发生了一件最惊奇的事情，我站在停
14、车标志旁，观察您开着车要拐弯。可是我并没有立即反映到那是爸爸您。由于那个人开着车，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，或许，那是我第一次“观察”您的年龄，或许，只有我自己观察罢了。Fifty years ago this spring we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa.I didnt know then that I would remember that day for the rest of my life. Th
