父亲节是一个对父亲表达敬重之意的节日。这一天是为了赞美父亲、父爱和父亲于社会中的重要性而存在。全世界有52个国家将父亲节设在了六月的第三个星期天。
我们常说,母爱是温馨的拥抱,柔中带刚,父爱是震撼心灵的巨著,坚定如山。我们也习惯了在母亲节那天送上一束康乃馨carnation来表达我们的爱,但是对于父亲,貌似双方都是含蓄的。打破含蓄,今天也热烈一次,适合送个父亲的礼物有哪些呢?
FLOWERS
Red rose (USA) or yellow rose: red rose is the acknowledged gift for father in this day. And in some countries, yellow is deemed to be the color of males, so yellow rose is also widely accepted.
红玫瑰不一定是送给恋人,还是送给父亲最合适的花。当然,在有些国家黄色会被认为是男性的颜色,所以有时候也会送黄玫瑰。
Sunflower: Sunflower is also a popular gift for fathers in many countries for it represents faithful love.
向日葵也是父亲节常送的花,因其象征着最忠诚的爱。

About fathers:
Father: to God himself we cannot give a holier name. ------William Wordsworth
父亲——我们再也找不到比这个更神圣的称呼了。 ——威廉·华兹华斯
One father is more than a hundred Schoolemasters. ------George Herbert
一位父亲远胜过一百名教师。 ——乔治·赫伯特
I love my father as the stars. He's a bright shining example and a happy twinkling in my heart.
我爱我的父亲,他就像星光般耀眼。他是我心中最杰出的榜样和最快乐的一瞬。
When I was a boy offourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. -----Mark Twain, "Old Times on the Mississippi" Atlantic Monthly, 1874
当我还是个14岁的毛孩子的时候,我觉得我的父亲无知到简直无法忍受。但是当我21岁时,我开始意识到,这七年里,他学会了多少东西。 -------马克·吐温
这句话会让我想起某剧中的一句台词:能怎么办呢?我也是第一次当父亲啊。
也许这个男人在陪你长大的岁月里,在有些事情上会显得笨拙、迟钝,但这份爱,绝对是最沉重、真挚的。父爱多半是沉默的,在这个日子就让我们一起还他一份热烈吧~大声告诉他:Dad, I love you as the stars, you are a bright shining example and a happy twinking in my heart.
互动话题:一个电话还是一份陪伴?今天你送的什么给父亲呢?
