父亲节的心意-英语口语对话练习
西方人以理性思考、不近人情的工作方式著称,也以个人独立于家庭的为文化的基本根源,然而,有意思的是,他们在那些与家庭相关的节日里(父亲节、母亲节、感恩节、圣诞节)却表现出了更直接的重视,更温情的.表达,甚至更具仪式感的庆祝方式,比如认真地赠与礼物等,习俗被不断强化,节日便成了具有独特含义与象征的日子。
父亲节与母亲节一样也是个起源于美国的节日,在美国孩子们在这天为父母做早餐,在日本给父亲念感恩信,在德国和父亲喝啤酒庆祝,在中国现在已有越来越多的庆祝方式,比如晒出和父亲的成长合影。对于孩子来说,当你有一天在行使这些仪式的过程中忽然明白父亲的辛苦,并想要主动回报他,你就真的长大了。所以,简单的年复一年的仪式确实可以具有推动领悟的意义。
Dialogue 1
Xiao Gao: What are you gonna get your pops for Father's Day? Don't tell me you forgot.
Jingjing: No, I didn't forget. I'm on the fence right now about two different things. I wasgonna buy him a watch, but then I saw a really nice shirt that I think he'd look good in.
Xiao Gao: I see. --------------------------------------------------
Jingjing: You're right, but I'm running low on cash right now and I don't get paid until the endof the month.
Xiao Gao: Well, if you want, I could spot you some money. You can pay me back after you getyour paycheck.
Jingjing: It's okay. I'll figure something out. Anyways, what about you? What are you gonnaget your old man for Father's Day?
Xiao Gao: I have a surprise for him. I wanna take him out to the park and have a picnic. Ifigured it would be a nice place for him to kick back and relax.
Jingjing: That sounds like a good idea. I'm sure he needs it after all the hell you put himthrough while you were growing up.
Xiao Gao: Hey! That's not very nice!
Jingjing: Haha! I'm just joking, geez, come on!
Dialogue 2
Xiao Gao: So, what did you end up getting your dad for Father's Day?
Jingjing: Well, I scrapped the idea of getting him a shirt or watch, and decided to take him outto eat, just me and him.
Xiao Gao: That sounds cool. Did he enjoy the grub?
Jingjing: Of course he did. Don't you know? -------------------------------------. But thebest part of the night was the chit chat we had.
Xiao Gao: Really? What did you guys talk about?
Jingjing: I told him how grateful I was for having a dad like him. I'm sure it's not easy to raisea family. I wanted him to know how much I appreciate everything he's done.
Xiao Gao: Well, your dad must be a really good man. You know what they say: the appledoesn't fall far from the tree.
Jingjing: He's the best! By the way, I almost forgot, how did the picnic go?
Xiao Gao: Not very well. Right when we got there it started raining cats and dogs. We packedup our things and went back home.
Jingjing: That's a shame! Oh well, I'm sure he was still happy that you tried. It's the thoughtthat counts.
Xiao Gao: That's true. Next year I'll have to make sure I look at the weather report before I goon a picnic
Jingjing: Speaking of which, are you hungry? Let's go grab a bite to eat.
Xiao Gao: Sounds good. Let's go!
