Father's Day falls on the third Sunday in June. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.
六月的第三个星期日是父亲节。设立一天让孩子们表达对父亲的尊敬的想法起源于在华盛顿州的斯普肯镇。1909年，一位名叫索娜拉·史玛特·杜德的女士在听母亲节的布道时想到也应该有一个父亲节。
Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father who made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June,1910.
索娜拉的母亲过世后，父亲亨利·杰克逊·史玛特把她抚养成人，她想让父亲知道他对她来说有多么重要。父亲为了她既当爹又当妈，而且在女儿的眼中，父亲是个勇敢、无私、慈爱的好父亲。索娜拉父亲的生日是在六月，所以她就选择1910年6月19日在华盛顿的斯普肯镇举行了第一次父亲节庆祝活动。
In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
1924年，美国总统加尔文·库利奇宣布每年6月的第三个星期天为父亲节。玫瑰是父亲节的吉祥花：红玫瑰献给健在的父亲，而白玫瑰则送给已过世的父亲。
Father's Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. In fact, when a "father's day" was first proposed, there were no Father's Day cards!
与人们普遍的误解相反，父亲节不是为了帮助问候卡生产商销售出更多卡片而设立的'节日。实际上，当“父亲节”首次得到提议时，并没有父亲节卡片。
Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all to be honored on Father's Day.
父亲节已经变成了一个不仅尊敬你的父亲，而且尊敬所有担任父亲角色的男人的节日。继父、叔叔、舅舅、爷爷、外公以及成年男性朋友都是父亲节尊敬的对象。
Look your father in the eye, shake his hand and tell him that you love him. That's the best present you can give him.
注视着父亲的眼睛，握住他的手，然后告诉他你爱他。这是你所能予他的最好礼物。
