本章内容导读
父亲很少说出口的爱
却随着时光的流逝而变得更加清晰
有时在响亮的笑声中
有时在欢乐的泪水中
Fathers seldom say'I love you'
Though the feeling's always there，
But somehow those three little words
Are the hardest ones to share.
And fathers say'I love you'
In ways that words can't match—
With tender bed time stories
Or a friendly game'I love you'
In a father's boyish eyes
When he runs home，all excited，
With a poorly wrapped surprise.
A father says'I love you'
With his strong helping hands
With a smile when you're in trouble
With the way he understands.
He says'I love you'haltingly1.
With awkward tenderness—
It's hard to help a four-year-old into a party dress！
He speaks his love unselfishly
By giving all he can
To make some secret dream come true.
Or follow through a plan.
A father's seldom-spoken love
Sounds clearly through the years—
Sometimes in peals2 of laughter，
Sometimes through happy tears.
Perhaps they have to speak their love
In a fashion all their own.
Because the love that fathers feel
Is too big for words alone！
父亲们很少说“我爱你”
虽然那份爱的感觉一直都在那里
但是不知为什么仅仅这三个字
对父亲来说却是最难启齿
而父亲说“我爱你”
是用言语无法比拟的方式——
或是温柔地在床头讲故事
或是玩一场友好的捉迷藏游戏
你可以看到“我爱你”这三个字
从父亲那孩子般的眼神里
当他满怀兴奋地跑回家
脸上带着难以掩饰的惊喜
父亲说“我爱你”
用他那双强有力的援助之手
用他的微笑帮你渡过难关
用他所理解的方式
他踌躇地说出“我爱你”
有点笨拙，但很温柔——
帮一个四岁小孩穿上派对礼服实在是不容易！
他无私地表达着他的爱
付出他能给的一切
让孩子内心的梦想成真
或成功执行一个计划
父亲很少说出口的爱
却随着时光的流逝而变得更加清晰——
有时在响亮的笑声中
有时在欢乐的泪水中
也许他们表达自己的爱
只能够用自己的方式
因为父亲的爱
绝非言语所能诠释
