庆祝父亲节吧!

如果说“母亲”是慈祥的代名词，那“父亲”就象征着尊严和权威。一般来说，6月的第三个星期天是“父亲节”，用来感谢天下的父亲，为家庭和孩子带来的安全和眷顾。

让我们来看看该怎么为父亲们庆祝他们的节日吧！

Step 1让他尽可能快乐的以自己喜欢的方式进餐。

Pamper him with whatever culinary ceremonies（烹调方式） he enjoys most, whether it’s breakfast in bed, a burgers-and-beer lunch at the local sports bar, dinner at his favorite four-star restaurant―or all of the above. (After all, Father’s Day comes but once a year.)

Step 2给他送上喜欢却不易购买到的礼物。

Eschew（避开） the ties, shirts, golf balls and best-selling thrillers. Instead give him something you know he’d love but isn’t likely to buy for himself: perhaps Ella Fitzgerald’s songbook collection on CD, a drawing he’s been admiring in a local gallery, or an autographed photo of his childhood baseball hero.

Step 3如果他总是嘀咕着要干什么，帮他实现心愿。

Look for clues. If he keeps saying he wishes he’d practiced the piano when his mother told him to, sign him up for lessons. If he reads every issue of “Gourmet” Magazine cover to cover, give him a gift certificate for a cooking course―in France, Italy or Switzerland, if you’re feeling flush.

Step 4送上你的时间，好好陪陪他，不管是聊天还是散步，都是值得的。

Give him the ultimate gift: your time. Present him with a gift certificate announcing the plan: dinner and a ball game, a day at the beach, a weekend jaunt to the PGA tournament, a camping trip in the Rockies, or simply an afternoon of side-by-side digging in the garden.

Step 5自己DIY一个素描本，描绘出与他在一起的生活。

Make him a scrapbook commemorating “Life With Father” over the past year. Or go all out and make a scrapbook, or a series of them, covering your whole life together.

Step 6如果他已不在世，为他生前关心的事物奉献爱心以缅怀他的善心吧。

Honor your father’s memory if he’s no longer living. Send a donation to his favorite charity, or lend a hand to a cause he cared about.

Step 7不要总是把“父亲节”限制在自己的父亲身上，还有外公、叔叔、教父、老大哥们，和那些在职业上对你有所帮助的老板们哦。

Remember, you needn’t limit Father’s Day to your biological dad. Do something nice for all the father figures in your life, whether grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, godfathers, big brothers or that first boss who helped you launch your career.
