雙語作文致父親的一封信

　　To My Father 給我的父親

　　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.

　　中文：

　　親愛的爸爸：

　　今天我在商場的時候，我讀了好長時間的有關“父親節”的賀卡。那些卡片上面的文字很特別，也或多或少地表達出了我對您的感受。我挑選讀過一次后，又挑選讀了一遍，但那并不是一張賀卡所能表達出我想對您說的話的。

　　爸爸，很快您就要84歲了，您和我也將度過這第55個“父親節”。“父親節”的那天，我總是不能和您在一起，連您過生日的時候我也是這樣，但這并不是因為我不想陪在您身邊。其實，在我心里，我總是和您在一起。不過，有的時候，生活也會有差錯。

　　爸爸，您也知道，我們父女倆曾有一段時間因為代溝不在一起過，比如年齡、個人閱歷、觀點、發型、化妝、服裝、音樂、作息時間以及男朋友，因為這些，我們的觀點也非常對立。您站在“大分離”的一端，我站在“大分離”的另一端。

　　那時，您教我學開那部道奇舊車，可我卻不管您喜歡不喜歡執意要開雪拂蘭’54那輛車。當時，我們父女倆關于雪拂蘭汽車的爭執也調到了最高擋。可那天晚上，您卻報警說雪拂蘭車被盜。之后，一個警官把我護送到家，可他太年輕了，根本不明白我們父女倆之間的政治斗爭，可他也不小了，對一個16歲的流鼻涕的小孩卻沒有太多的耐心。爸爸，您倒對這件事處理得很體面，而我想那可能是我一生中最糟糕的一個夜晚吧。

　　在我嫁了一個您喜歡的女婿后，我們倆之間的關系才緩和了好多。后來，我們為了好好地生個孩子，就離開了，我們之間的那些事情也就結束了。這事您也知道，我們沒有電視機看，我們就只好自娛自樂了。我不知道我還能對作為外公外婆的您和媽媽抱什么期望，但是，不要等到很久我就會找到答案。過去那些孩子熱愛您，現在他們還像以前那樣熱愛您。當我看見您和您的外孫在一起的時候，我知道您都已經給了他們最好的禮物，您把心都掏給他們了。

　　就是這樣，您我之間的代溝慢慢消失了。現在年齡和其它一些問題的差異把您和我分開，可我們在很多事情的上的看法都是一樣的，這可能是因為我們明白了沒有那么多的事情值得我們爭辯吧。然而，我想提示一下的是，爸爸，飛蠅釣魚是您最喜歡的一種釣法，您可以說些您想做的手腕動作，站姿和一些沒有用的話什么的。

　　爸爸，雖然我已經漂泊很多年了，但是我很快樂。然而，我卻發現您沒有變老，還是那么年輕。

　　隨著年齡的增長，我認為您和我之間的關系慢慢地融洽了好多，就像是一瓶好酒，越陳越香。家人看起來好像沒有一點意義似的，但是，上周發生了一件最奇怪的事情，我站在停車標志旁，看見您開著車要拐彎。可是我并沒有立刻反映到那是爸爸您。因為那個人開著車，又在那部大車的車輪后面，就顯得他歲數很大，身體也很虛弱的樣子。可我卻感到不知道從哪里飛來的一記耳光似的重重地打在我的臉上，也許，那是我第一次“看見”您的年齡，也許，只有我自己看見罷了。

　　五十年前的一個春天，我們在依阿華州查理斯市的一個花園一起栽下苤藍菜。

　　當時我也不知道我以后會懷念那一天。這一周，我們還要在一起栽苤藍菜，這是第二次。也許，這是最后一次，可我并不希望那樣。我不明白為什么我和您一起栽苤藍菜我會感到很有意義，可事實上就有意義。而且，關于這個，有個有意思的事情，可我不知道該怎么和您說這事，爸爸……我不喜歡苤藍菜……但是，我卻喜歡和您一起栽苤藍菜。

　　爸爸，我想我想要說的話是每個作兒女的今天想和他們爸爸要說的話。過“父親節”，給父親這么一個大的榮譽，決不是因為爸爸給家里掙多少錢，和家人一起共進晚餐，參加學校活動，參加畢業典禮和婚禮的原因，也不止是一起栽苤藍菜，開雪拂蘭’54車和飛蠅釣魚的事，也不止是您毫無理由地愛那些流鼻涕又很淘氣，而且什么都懂，就是不聽話的小孩。這就是尊重對方，分享快樂，認同和忍受他人，給予和接受吧，您對別人的愛也是不能用言語來表達的，希望這些永不終止。

　　爸爸，我愛您……

　　奉獻愛心倡議書 Dedication love initiative

　　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

　　親愛的同學們，當我們坐在明亮的教室里時，我們記得有很多孩子在我們的幫助下，我們的幫助不好。暑假就要來了。讓我們做點什么來幫助他們。作為學生，我們可以把我們的零花錢，學校的東西，一些我們的衣服和玩具，我們也可以捐贈一些書給他們，以打開他們的眼睛到外面的世界。我們可以通過收集廢舊的瓶裝、塑料、廢紙等來為慈善事業籌集資金，或者通過做兼職工作，例如，分發廣告，銷售報紙等。與他們一起建立筆友會是一個更好的方式來幫助處理他們學習方面的問題。我們做的越多，世界就越好！學生會2008年6月13日

　　我的父親 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.

　　我父親離開海門市。今天早上，我想呆在家里，直到他出去。我為我的父親感到驕傲。他是個很好的工程師。他也有一個大公司，他很愛我。早餐后，我的父親會離開他的車，所以我們不會有太多的時間來保持我的父親的公司。“神了，男子處置。”我父親鼓勵我努力學習。“我知道，再見，祝你好運。”我對爸爸說，并計劃在我的課堂上第一次。我愛我的父親，我認為他是世界上最好的父親。

　　we should love our country 我們應該熱愛祖國

　　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!!!

　　每個人都有彼此的生活方向和目的。我們不越位的人生目標和定位。很多人都將很多大欲望改進和改變各自的社區和國家。(但我是一個例外呵呵))。換句話說. .成功就是喜歡取決于小工具,或碎片,住整體結構不動搖。正如螺絲還小的基本對象,加強和維持,我們應該爭取社會中生活和工作。沒有我們的認真努力,社區無法安全地維護。

　　人類社會是廣闊的,似乎無邊無際,同樣重要的是適度的。無論多么偉大的成就也許,仍然只有一個螺絲在大型機械。但是如果你必須是一個螺絲,一個強大和閃亮的一個! ! !

　　What is Love? 愛是什么？

　　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.

　　隨著社會的日益復雜，越來越多的人被很多誘惑或其他一些物質方面所蒙蔽，從而忽略了最真摯的感情，愛。許多人都懷疑愛的存在。我完全不同意他們的觀點。前幾天，我看了《北京愛情故事》這部電影。我意識到愛是什么，還有原來它就在我們身邊。

　　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，愛是全心全意為他著想。如果你愛一個人，你會為她做任何事；你會站在她的角度想問題。你會全部拒絕那些能讓你生活地更好的誘惑，只是因為你不想傷害她。其次，愛是寬容。無論對方對你做了什么，最后你都會原諒她。你不會把她以牙還牙。盡管她所做的已經深深傷害了你，你也不會對她做同樣的事，因為你愛她。第三，愛是一起變老。外面的世界很精彩，可是你想要的只是和她一起變老，并珍惜和她在一起的每分每秒。而且，就算她離開這個世界了，在你的內心深處會永遠為她留著一個位置。

　　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.

　　愛是每個人都擁有的感情。它就在我們身邊。如果我們留意，我們就能找到它。所以，不要失去對愛的存在失去信心。人人都能用心感受到它。

　　the present my father gave me 父親給我的禮物

　　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(控制自己情緒) in times of extreme sorrows and joys, no matter how they affect me.

　　當我年輕的時候,我的父親,他總是教我如何成為一個真正的男人,告訴我,在你的生活中無論發生什么這是必要的寬容。

　　他給了我的仍然是最寶貴的禮物,,我想要寬容,我需要保持冷靜，當大的麻煩在我的前面時,即使難克服,但也要寬容,我需要抵抗各種外界的誘惑,即使它是如此有吸引力;老實說,我需要振作(控制自己情緒)在極端痛苦和快樂的時候,不管它們如何影響我。
