美文欣賞：回報如山父愛 你應該做這十件事

（澳洲生活網）

From the time of our birth, dads play a significant role in our lives. From helping mother to change your diapers to paying your school and college fee, dads do every possible thing to provide you an easier and comfortable life. Father』s day is celebrated once a year on different dates around the world. Even though you should be love and care for your father all 365 days of the year, this day gives you a chance to do something even more special for them. If you are confused and you have no idea how you should be starting then, below is a step by step manual provided so you can start the day beautifully and even end it brilliantly!

從我們出生開始，父親在我們的生命中就扮演了一個非常重要的角色。從幫母親給我們換尿不濕開始，到為我們支付學費，他總是竭盡全力讓我們生活的更安逸、更舒 適。即使世界各地每年慶祝父親節的時間都不一樣，我們也應該在一年365天中的每一天都愛護父親、照顧他。父親節這一天是為了讓我們為他們做些特別的事。如 果你還不知道怎麼做，那麼就按照下面的方式，一步一步的開啟美好的這一天吧。

1.Present Dad with a Trophy 送他一些紀念品

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，應該沒有比送他紀念品更好的禮物了吧。在父親節的前一天，搜索一下怎樣製作一個紀念品，或者弄一個做好的紀念品，然後加入你自己的創意。自己去做紀念品 吧，用你和父親以前的照片（即使是你以前孩提時的照片也可以哦）、膠水、絲帶。把這個絲帶粘在照片的後面，或者你也可以把絲帶做成褶邊，再黏在照片上，然後，再把這些照片黏在那個紀念品上。同樣的，你也可以在彩紙上寫上你想說的一些話，把它同彩帶一起黏到紀念品的下端。在父親晚上睡覺前，把這個紀念品送給他，擁抱著對他說「我愛你」。

2.Write him a poem 為他寫一首詩

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.

這個對我們大多數人來說都並非易事，但試著去做總比不做好。在網上搜索一些寫詩的理念，帶著你的感覺去為他寫一首詩。只要是你努力去做的，無論你為父親做什麼，即使看起來會搞笑、很幼稚，但是別擔心，最後他都會覺得很高興的。為他寫一首短詩，在切完蛋糕後，念給他聽。

3.Make barbeque 為他準備燒烤

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.

沒有人會不喜歡燒烤的。調查好父親喜歡的肉類和蔬菜，用炭火為他準備一次燒烤。如果你不知道怎麼做，那就在網路上查找一下吧。搜索一下烹飪方法，採用你比較擅長的方法試著做一下吧。蛋糕上面要有一些祝福的話，如果在蛋糕上寫上「父親節快樂」或是「你是天底下最好的爸爸」，也能給他一個驚喜哦。

4.Buy him his favorite drinks 把他最喜歡喝的飲料買給他

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.

在這天走出家門，好好享受享受吧。在很多國家，父親節已經逐漸被商業化了，許多俱樂部也舉行了各式各樣的活動或是聚會。和你父親一起去參加這些活動，也許也會很有趣哦。為他買他最愛喝的飲料。如果你父親喜歡喝酒，啤酒就是個不錯的選擇哦，無論他喜歡什麼都不要拒絕他。

5.Make a slideshow 做一個幻燈片

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.

童年似乎總是離我們很近，但似乎我們都會很懷念。與父親、母親、兄弟姐妹一起度過的時光總是能帶回許多歡樂。在相冊里，挑選一些你最喜歡的童年時的照片，在網上下載一個可以把圖片轉換成視頻的軟體，把照片和音樂搭配到一起，做一個幻燈片給父親看。這會勾起他很多的回憶，但請相信，他一定會很高興。

6.Watch his favorite movie with him和他一起看他最喜歡的電影

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歡的電影，和他一起看。這一天，最棒的事情就是和他一起度過，提前計劃好這一天做些什麼。比如大部分人的父親都會在你童年的時候，跟你看一些他比較喜歡的電影。如果你想讓這一天有些不一樣，手捧一袋爆米花和他一起看電影，一起回憶。

7.Make him a card 為他做一張卡片

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!

這時候該展示出你的創造能力咯。在父親節的市場上，你能買到各式各樣的卡片，但是你應該送他一個你自己做的卡片，這個卡片會留給他不一樣的感覺哦。製作卡片可能會花很多時間，你還是提前就做好吧。瀏覽網上的卡片尋找靈感，你也能找到製作卡片的教程。收集好你需要的材料就開始做吧。想一句很棒的話給父親，可以不是一句名言，也可以不是一句很正式的話，但一定要是你自己想出來的話，像是你對父親的感覺。我相信你父親一定會很喜歡的。

8.Bring breakfast in bed 把早餐送到床邊

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.

如果你已經做完了上面所提到的事，那麼你的下一個任務就是繫上圍裙，秀出你的廚藝啦。你要做的是你父親最愛吃的早餐。一定不要弄錯哦，否則你的努力就沒法大 獲成功。如果做飯你很拿手，那麼下一個問題也就難不倒你啦。即使你只會一點也不用擔心，如果你沒有想出什麼是最喜歡的，或者什麼是最誘人的，網路是你的好 幫手哦，無論你想煮什麼，你都可以在網上搜索到，然後一步步按部就班的學著做。

9.Iron his clothes 幫他熨衣服

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.

這也是一個看似很不起眼的方式哦，你可以在任何一個地方幫他把衣服熨好，這一天你要做很多事，所以你一定要在他起床前把他最喜歡的衣服熨好。給他買件新衣服，熨好，然後掛在房間的某個地方，這也能給他一個驚喜哦。你也可以幫他把鞋子擦好，讓他隨時都可以穿。把他最愛的香水、表、鑰匙，那些父親通常帶在一起的東西放在一個地方。所有的這些對你父親來說，可能都不是很特別，但是卻能體現出它的孩子到底有多關心他，這樣也能讓他感到些不一樣的。

10.Wash his car 為他洗車

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.

做些特別的事，並不是說你要準備為此花費很多，事實上，只需要做些不一樣的事來表達你對父親的愛就可以了。因此，就用給他洗車開啟這一天吧。車的髒亂從來都不只是 裡面或外面的某一面，把車的里里外外都清理乾淨吧。對你來說，洗車就是一件很輕鬆的事，但是你要自己獨立完成， 因為這樣才能表現出你對父親的愛。如果你想給他一個驚喜，那你一定要弄清他早上起床的時間，要記得，要盡量在他起床之前把車洗好哦。爸爸會喜歡這部車的， 同時，你這樣的行動也一定會讓感到特別高興的。
