从我们出生开始,父亲在我们的生命中就扮演了一个非常重要的角色,从帮母亲给我们换尿不湿开始到为我们支付学费,他总是竭尽全力让我们生活的更安逸、更舒适。即使世界各地每年庆祝父亲节的时间都不一样。我们也应该在一年365天中的每一天都爱护他,照顾他。父亲节这一天是为了让我们为他们做些特别的事,如果你还不知道怎么做,那么就按照下面的方式一步一步的开启美好的这一天吧。
1. Present Dad with a Trophy
送他一些纪念品
What can be a better gift than giving someone a trophy? Nothing I guess. Start googling around a day before Father's day about how to make a trophy or you can also get a ready-made trophy and then personalize it. To give your own touch to the trophy, get a photograph of you with your dad, any photo would do the job (even if from childhood), some glue, and a ribbon. Stick the ribbon on the photo from behind or you can also sew ribbon as a frill and then stick it to the picture. Glue this frilled photo to the trophy, similarly write a message on a colored paper, stick it with the ribbon and glue to the bottom of the trophy. To end the day, before your dad is heading to bed, present him the trophy, say “I love you”, and give him a hug.
我想应该没有比送他纪念品更好的礼物了吧。在父亲节的前一天搜索一下怎样制作一个纪念品,或者弄一个做好的纪念品,然后加入你自己的创意。自己去做纪念品吧,用你和父亲以前的照片,(即使是你以前孩提时的照片也可以哦)、胶水、丝带。把这个丝带粘在照片的后面,或者你也可以把丝带做成褶边再黏在照片上,然后再把这些照片黏在那个纪念品上,同样的,你也可以在彩纸上写上你想说的一些话,把它同彩带一起黏到纪念品的下端。在父亲晚上睡觉前,把这个纪念品送给他,拥抱着对他说“我爱你”。
2. Write him a poem
为他写一首诗
This might be a little tough for everyone, but giving it a try won't do any harm. Search through the internet to get ideas for writing a poem and put your feelings into works for your Dad. Even if it sounds funny or childish, do not worry, whatever you would do for your dad would make him feel happy at the end of the end, so what matters is your effort. So write a short poem for him and read it to him after you are done cutting the cake.
这个能对我们大多数人来说都并非易事,但试着去做总比不做好。在网上搜索一些写诗的理念,带着你的感觉去为他写一首诗。只要是你努力去做的,无论你为你父亲做什么,即使看起来会搞笑、很幼稚,但是别担心,最后他都会觉得很高兴的。为他写一首短诗,在切完蛋糕后念给他听。
3. Make barbeque
为他准备烧烤
There is no one who dislikes barbeque, so for dinner get ready to cook on the coals. Make sure you get your dad's favorite kind of meat and vegetables. If you are not sure of what recipe to follow, again internet is here for your help. Look up for recipes and whatever looks good to you, go for it. A cake would be a cherry on the top, so get a cake with “Happy Father's Day” or “You are the best Dad” written on it and give your dad another surprise.
没有人会不喜欢烧烤的。调查好父亲喜欢的肉类和蔬菜,用炭火为他准备一次烧烤。如果你不知道怎么做,那就在网络上查找一下吧。搜索一下烹饪方法,采用你比较擅长的方法试着做一下吧。蛋糕上面要有一些祝福的话,如果在蛋糕上写上“父亲节快乐”或是“你是天底下最好的爸爸”也能给他一个惊喜哦。
4. Buy him his favorite drinks
把他最喜欢喝的饮料买给他
Time to head out of the house and enjoy the day a little more. Father's day is commercialized in many countries now and a lot of clubs have started to hold different kinds of activities and parties for this day. Take your dad and take part in games and activities to make the day even more fun. Buy him his favorite drinks,, if your dad drink, nothing can be better than a beer and even if he doesn't get him whatever he likes to drink.
在这天走出家门,好好享受享受吧。在很多国家,父亲节已经逐渐被商业化了,许多俱乐部也举行了各式各样的活动或是聚会。和你父亲一起去参加这些活动也许也会很有趣哦。为他买他最爱喝的饮料。如果你父亲喜欢喝酒,啤酒就是个不错的选择哦,无论他喜欢什么都不要拒绝他。
5. Make a slideshow
做一个幻灯片
Childhood is very near to everyone and almost everyone miss it. The time spent with mom, dad and siblings as a kid always brings back a smile. Get into that old box of family pictures from the childhood and pick your favorite photos out of them. Select one of your favorite songs as a child and you are ready to make a slideshow. Download any software you think can turn your pictures into a movie, put the pictures in it along with the song, and play the slideshow to your dad. This act might bring back a lot of memories and nostalgia but it will surely put a smile on his face.
童年似乎总是离我们很近,但似乎我们都会很怀念。与父亲、母亲、兄弟姐妹一起度过的时光总是能带回许多欢乐。在相册里挑选一些你最喜欢的童年时的照片,在网上下载一个可以把图片转换成视频的软件,把照片和音乐搭配到一起,做一个幻灯片给父亲看。这会勾起他很多的回忆,但请相信,他一定会很高兴。
6. Watch his favorite movie with him
和他一起看他最喜欢的电影
Go out, rent his favorite movie, and watch it with him. Spending the day with your dad is the best you can do on father's day, so plan in advance what you will be doing on this day. Like everyone, your dad must have a few movies very near to his heart, that he made you watch when you were a kid. If you plan to make this day special, it's time to bring back those memories and watch those movies again with him. Grab a pack of popcorns and live the memories again.
在外面去租一些他最喜欢的电影,和他一起看。这一天最棒的事情就是和他一起度过,提前计划好这一天做些什么。比如大部分人的父亲都会在你童年的时候跟你看一些他比较喜欢的电影。如果你想让这一天有些不一样,手捧一袋爆米花和他一起看电影,一起回忆。
7. Make him a card
为他做一张卡片
This is the time to show how creative you are. There are hundreds of cards available in the market in the Father's day season that you can buy and give it to your dad, but giving him a card that you made by your own self, will hold a different place in his heart. You can do this task a day before because it might take a lot of time. Run through internet and look up for ideas, you can easily find how to make father's day tutorials. Just collect all the materials you need and get on work. Be sure to come up with a very nice message for your father, it does not have to be a quote or something very formally written, instead come up with something original, like your feelings for him. Your dad will love it for sure!
这时候该展示出你的创造能力咯。在父亲节一天市场上你能买到各式各样的卡片,但是你应该送他一个你自己做的卡片,这个卡片会留给他不一样的感觉哦。制作卡片可能会花很多时间,你还是提前就做好吧。浏览网上的卡片寻找灵感,你也能找到制作卡片的教程。收集好你需要的材料就开始做吧。想一句很棒的话给父亲,可以不是一句名言,也可以不是一句很正式的话,但一定要是你自己想出来的话,像是你对父亲的感觉。我相信你父亲一定会很喜欢的。
8. Bring breakfast in bed
把早餐送到床边
When you are done doing the tasks mentioned above, the next task is to take your apron out and get ready to show off your cooking skills. You are going to cook your dad's favorite breakfast, so be sure of not making any mistakes or your mission will not turn out to be successful. If you are good at cooking, then this step should not be a problem for your, but if you are good, then don't be scared. The internet is always here to help you, search around for recipes of whatever you are cooking and try following it without making any changes. If your does not have any favorites then you can come up with anything you like or whatever looks tempting to you.

9. Iron his clothes
帮他熨衣服
This again is a very small gesture and you can easily get the clothes ironed from anywhere but then again, this day is about doing it all on your own, so before he wakes up take his favorite clothes out of the wardrobe and iron it for him. And if you want to you can buy him new clothes, iron and hang them somewhere in the room to surprise him. You can also polish his shoes and get them ready to be worn. Set his favorite perfume, his watch, his wallet, his keys, and whatever your dad usually keeps with him, ready at one place. All this might not sound anything so special to you but for dads, it is, seeing that their children care so much about them will surely make them feel special.
这也是一个看似很不起眼的方式哦,你可以在任何一个地方帮他把衣服熨好,这一天你要做很多事,所以你一定要在他起床前把他最喜欢的衣服熨好。给他买件新衣服,熨好,然后挂在房间的某个地方,这也能给他一个惊喜哦。你也可以帮他把鞋子擦好,让他随时都可以穿。把他最爱的香水,表,钥匙,那些父亲通常带在一起的东西放那在一个地方。所有的这些对你父亲来说可能都不是很特别,但是却能体现出它的孩子到底有多关心他,这样也能让他感到些不一样的。
10. Wash his car
为他洗车
Making the day special for your dad does not mean you have to come up with something huge or expensive. You can make him feel special by just expressing love through actions. So start the day off by washing his car or truck. Cars are usually not as messy from the outside as they are from the inner side, so try cleaning up in there as well. You can easily get the car washed from anywhere, but doing it yourself is what expresses your love. Keep in mind that in order to surprise him, you must know the time he wakes up in the morning and try to wash the car before he wakes up. Dad's love their cars and this small gesture of yours can make him very happy.
做些特别的事并不是说你要准备为此花费很多,事实上只需要做些不一样的事来表达你对父亲的爱就可以了。因此就用给他洗车开启这一天吧。车的脏乱从来都不只是里面或外面的某一面,把车的里里外外都清理干净吧。对你来说洗车就是一件很轻松的事,但是你要自己独立完成, 因为这样才能表现出你对父亲的爱。如果你想给他一个惊喜,那你一定要弄清他早上起床的时间,要记得在要尽量在他起床之前把车洗好哦。爸爸会喜欢这部车的,同时你这样的行动也一定会让感到特别高兴的。
