The Story of Father's Day
 
父亲节的故事
Father's Day, contrary1 to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers2 sell more cards. In fact when a "father's day" was first proposed3 there were no Father's Day cards!
和通俗的误解不同,父亲节不是为了贺卡生产商卖出更多贺卡而设立的节日。事实上,当父亲节第一次被提出来的时候,就不存在父亲节卡片!
Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington4, first proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor5 her father, William Smart. William Smart was a Civil War veteran6. His wife (Mrs. Dodd's mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a farm. it was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.
1909年,约翰B·多德在华盛顿第一次提出了设立父亲节的想法。多德夫人想有个特别的日子来表达对她的父亲,威廉·斯玛特的尊敬。威廉·斯玛特是内战的老兵。他的妻子(多德夫人的母亲)在生育他们第6个孩子的时候死了。斯玛特先生独自留下来在农场谋生,照顾新生儿和他其他5个孩子。直到多德夫人长大了,才意识到他父亲作为单亲养育孩子是多么的有力和无私。
The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington. At about the same time in towns and cities across America other people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day." In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.
1910年6月19日,第一个父亲节出现在华盛顿,斯波坎市。几乎同时,全美国的乡镇和城市,其他人开始庆祝父亲节。在1924年,卡尔文·柯立芝总统支持约翰逊签署了一份总统公告,宣布6月的第三个周日是父亲节。
