A lady calledSonora Dodd was sitting in church one Sunday in 1909, listening to a sermon on Mother’s Day.She decided it was only fair to also have a day for fathers. In 1910, she arranged a specialchurch service to say thank you for own father. The idea took off very slowly. U.S. Presidents.from Calvin Coolidge in 1926 to Richard Nixon in 1972, supported the idea. Nixon started thepermanent official Father's Day in June, 1972. Today it is a major holiday. It has becomeextremely commercialized, which is good and bad. The shops are so full of Father’s Day stuff,it is almost impossible to forget when the day is. 相关历史学家认为，该节日起源于美国华盛顿州。1909年某个周日，一位名叫索诺拉·多德的女士坐在教堂里，聆听母亲节布道。她认为人们也应该清楚父亲节。1910年，她安排了一次特殊的礼拜仪式，向自己的父亲说声谢谢。该项提议起步缓慢。从1926年的卡尔文·库利奇总统，到1972年的尼克松总统，他们均支持设立该节日。1972年6月，尼克松将父亲节定为官方节日。如今，父亲节成为了我们的主要节日。但却商业化浓重，这既是好事又是坏事。商店满是父亲节礼物，你想忘记也几乎不可能。 重点讲解： 1.listen to 聆听 例句：We are listening to him playing the piano. 我们在听他们弹钢琴。 2.take off 突然成功 例句：In 1944, he met Edith Piaf, and his career tookoff. 1944年，他遇到伊迪丝•琵雅芙，从此他的事业飞黄腾达。 3.around the world 全世界 例句：It happens all the time around the world. 世界各地随时都有这种情况发生。 4.church service 礼拜 例句：Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. 有说法认为，父亲节始于西弗吉尼亚州1908的一次教堂仪式。 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/5b8ca421be64783e0912a21614791711cc797967.html
