To My Father 给我的父亲
Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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。
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。
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。
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，我认为您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。
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。
爸爸，我爱您……

Dear schoolmates, While we are sitting in our bright classroom, remember there are lots of children in the poor and disaster areas needing our help badly. Summer vacation is coming. Let’s do something to help them. As students, we can give away our pocket money, school things, some of our clothes and toys.We can also donate some books to them in order to open up their eyes to the outside world. We may raise money for charity by collecting used bottled, plastics, waste paper and so on , or by doing part-time jobs, such as, handing out advertisements, selling newspapers and so on. Making pen pals with them will be a better way to help deal with problems in their study. The more we devote/do, the better world would be! Student's Union June 13, 2008
亲爱的同学们，当我们坐在明亮的教室里时，我们记得有很多孩子在我们的帮助下，我们的帮助不好。暑假就要来了。让我们做点什么来帮助他们。作为学生，我们可以把我们的零花钱，学校的东西，一些我们的衣服和玩具，我们也可以捐赠一些书给他们，以打开他们的眼睛到外面的世界。我们可以通过收集废旧的瓶装、塑料、废纸等来为慈善事业筹集资金，或者通过做兼职工作，例如，分发广告，销售报纸等。与他们一起建立笔友会是一个更好的方式来帮助处理他们学习方面的问题。我们做的越多，世界就越好！学生会2008年6月13日
我的父亲 My father
My father is leaving Haimen. This morning, I would like to stay at home until he went out. I’m proud of my father. He’s a very good engineer. He also has a big company and he loves me very much. After breakfast, my father will leave in his car So we won’t have much time to keep my father’s company. “God proposes, man disposes.” My father encouraged me to study hard. “I know, goodbye and good luck.” I said to Dad and planned to get the first place in my class. I love my father; I think he is the best father in the world.
我父亲离开海门市。今天早上，我想呆在家里，直到他出去。我为我的父亲感到骄傲。他是个很好的工程师。他也有一个大公司，他很爱我。早餐后，我的父亲会离开他的车，所以我们不会有太多的时间来保持我的父亲的公司。“神了，男子处置。”我父亲鼓励我努力学习。“我知道，再见，祝你好运。”我对爸爸说，并计划在我的课堂上第一次。我爱我的父亲，我认为他是世界上最好的父亲。
we should love our country 我们应该热爱祖国
Everyone all has each others direction and purposein the life. When we onsider our purpose and place in life. Many people all would harbor grand desires to improve and change their respective community and countries. (But i am an exception hehe)).In other words.. success just likes depends on the small tools, or pieces, which keep structures from tumbling. Just as screws are the small yet essential objects that strengthen and sustain, we should strive for the society to live and work within. Without our earnest efforts, communities couldn't be so securely maintained.
Human society is vast and seems boundless, it also important to be modest. Regardless of how great own achievements maybe, one is still only a single screw in the large machinery. But if you must be a screw, be a strong and shining one!!!
每个人都有彼此的生活方向和目的。我们不越位的人生目标和定位。很多人都将很多大欲望改进和改变各自的社区和国家。(但我是一个例外呵呵))。换句话说. .成功就是喜欢取决于小工具,或碎片,住整体结构不动摇。正如螺丝还小的基本对象,加强和维持,我们应该争取社会中生活和工作。没有我们的认真努力,社区无法安全地维护。
人类社会是广阔的,似乎无边无际,同样重要的是适度的。无论多么伟大的成就也许,仍然只有一个螺丝在大型机械。但是如果你必须是一个螺丝,一个强大和闪亮的一个! ! !
What is Love? 爱是什么？
As the society are becoming complex day by day, more and more people are hoodwinked by a lot of temptation or other material things, ignoring the most nature emotion, love. Many people doubt the existence of love. I totally disagree with their opinion. A few days ago, I watched the movie Love Story In Beijing. I come to realize that what is love and it is around our life.
随着社会的日益复杂，越来越多的人被很多诱惑或其他一些物质方面所蒙蔽，从而忽略了最真挚的感情，爱。许多人都怀疑爱的存在。我完全不同意他们的观点。前几天，我看了《北京爱情故事》这部电影。我意识到爱是什么，还有原来它就在我们身边。
First of all, love is put one's heart and soul into her shoes. If you love someone, you will do everything for her;you will think on her side. You will reject all the temptations that can make you live better, just because you don’t want to hurt her. Secondly, love is forgiveness. No matter what the other one do to you, you will forgive her at last. You won’t treat her eye for eye. Although what she has done hurts you somuch, you won’t do the same thing to, because you love her. Thirdly, love is growing old together. The outside word is so colorful, but what you want is to grow old with her together and treasure every minute with her. What’s more, you will leave a place for her forever in your deep heart, even she has passed away.
首先，爱是全心全意为他着想。如果你爱一个人，你会为她做任何事；你会站在她的角度想问题。你会全部拒绝那些能让你生活地更好的诱惑，只是因为你不想伤害她。其次，爱是宽容。无论对方对你做了什么，最后你都会原谅她。你不会把她以牙还牙。尽管她所做的已经深深伤害了你，你也不会对她做同样的事，因为你爱她。第三，爱是一起变老。外面的世界很精彩，可是你想要的只是和她一起变老，并珍惜和她在一起的每分每秒。而且，就算她离开这个世界了，在你的内心深处会永远为她留着一个位置。
Love is a kind of emotion that everyone has. It is around us. If we pay attention, we will find it. So, do not lose the faith to believe the existence of love. It is the feeling that every can feel by heart.
爱是每个人都拥有的感情。它就在我们身边。如果我们留意，我们就能找到它。所以，不要失去对爱的存在失去信心。人人都能用心感受到它。
the present my father gave me 父亲给我的礼物
When I was young,my father ,who always taught me how to be a true man,told me that it is essential to be tolerant in your life whatever happens.
And that remains the most valuable present he gave me,I think To be tolerant, I need to keep calm when great trouble lies in front of me,however difficult it is to overcome it; To be tolerant ,I need to resist the temptation of all kinds of the outside world,even if it is so attractive; To be torlerant, I need to pull myself(控制自己情绪) in times of extreme sorrows and joys, no matter how they affect me.
当我年轻的时候,我的父亲,他总是教我如何成为一个真正的男人,告诉我,在你的生活中无论发生什么这是必要的宽容。
他给了我的仍然是最宝贵的礼物,,我想要宽容,我需要保持冷静，当大的麻烦在我的前面时,即使难克服,但也要宽容,我需要抵抗各种外界的诱惑,即使它是如此有吸引力;老实说,我需要振作(控制自己情绪)在极端痛苦和快乐的时候,不管它们如何影响我。
