父亲节温情故事：爸爸，父亲节快乐 Dear Dad， Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of timereading the Father’s Day cards. They all had a special messagethat in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yetas I selected and read, and selected and read again, it occurredto me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you. 亲爱的爸爸： 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。 You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together. Ihaven’t always been with you on Father’s Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays. Itwasn’t because I didn’t want to be with you. I’ve always been with you in my heart but sometimeslife 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 gapbut completely polarized by it. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other, fatherand 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。 The Father-Daughter Duel of ’54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the oldDodge and I decided I would drive the ‘54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officerwho escorted me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young tounderstand 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 ofmy 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。 Our relationship improved immensely when I married a man you liked, and things really turnedaround when we begin making babies right and left. We didn’t have a television set, you know, andwe had to entertain ourselves somehow. I didn’t know what to expect of you and Mom asgrandparents but I didn’t have to wait long to find out. Those babies adored you then just asthey adore you now. When I see you with all your grandchildren, I know you’ve given them thefinest gift a grandparent can give. You’ve given them yourself. 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 littleelse. We agree on most everything, perhaps because we’ve learned there isn’t much worthdisagreeing about. However, I would like to mention that fly fishing isn’t all you’ve cracked it up tobe, Dad. You can say what you want about wrist action and stance and blah, blah, blah 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。 generation gap ：代沟 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/ed9e84e8f405cc1755270722192e453610665b37.html
