父親節(jié)的由來(lái)英文版父親節(jié)的由來(lái)(英文版)
Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a "father's day." She thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.
Sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, who was a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state.
After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. It was her father that 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.
President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. President Richard Nixon signed the law which finally made it permanent in 1972.
QUOTES ABOUT DAD
"A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again." -- Enid Bagnold
"None of you can ever be proud enough of being the child of SUCH a Father who has not his equal in this world-so great, so good, so faultless. Try, all of you, to follow in his footsteps and don't be discouraged, for to be really in everything like him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to be like him in some points, and you will have acquired a great deal." -- Victoria, Queen of England
"That is the thankless position of the father in the family-the provider for all, and the enemy of all." -- J. August Strindberg
"It is a wise father that knows his own child." -- William Shakespeare
"One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters." -- English Proverb
"To be a successful father . . . there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years." -- Ernest Hemingway
"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection." -- Sigmund Freud
1909年，華盛頓一位叫布魯斯．多德的夫人，在慶賀母親節(jié)的時(shí)候突然產(chǎn)生了一個(gè)念頭：既然有母親節(jié)，為什么不能有個(gè)父親節(jié)呢？
多德夫人和他的5個(gè)弟弟早年喪母，他們由慈愛(ài)的父親一手撫養(yǎng)大的。許多年過(guò)去了，姐弟6人每逢父親的生辰忌日，總會(huì)回想起父親含辛茹苦養(yǎng)家的情景。在拉斯馬斯博士的支持下，她提筆給州政府寫(xiě)了一封言辭懇切的信，呼吁建立父親節(jié)，并建議將節(jié)日定在6月5日
她父親生日這天。州政府采納了她的建議，倉(cāng)促間將父親節(jié)定為19日，即1909年6月第3個(gè)星期日。翌年，多德夫人所在的斯坡堪市正式慶祝這一節(jié)日，市長(zhǎng)宣布了父親節(jié)的文告，定這天為全州紀(jì)念日。以后，其他州也慶賀父親節(jié)。在父親節(jié)這天，人們選擇特定的鮮花來(lái)表示對(duì)父親的敬意。人們采納了多德夫人伯建議，佩戴紅玫瑰向健在的父親們表示愛(ài)戴，佩戴白玫瑰對(duì)故去的父親表示悼念。后來(lái)在溫哥華，人們選擇了佩戴白丁香，賓夕法尼亞人用蒲公英向父親表示致意。
為了使父親節(jié)規(guī)范化，各方面強(qiáng)烈呼吁議會(huì)承認(rèn)這個(gè)節(jié)日。1972年，尼克松總統(tǒng)正式簽署了建立父親節(jié)的議會(huì)決議。這個(gè)節(jié)日終于以法律的形式確定了下來(lái)，并一直沿用至今。
