高中英语翻译

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children.On the third Sunday in June，fathers all across the United States are given presents，treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
However，the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane，Washington.A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909.Having been raised by her father，Henry Jackson Smart，after her mother died，Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her.
It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was，in the eyes of his daughter，a 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.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day.Roses are the Father’s Day flowers：red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner，they send a greeting card.Traditionally，fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental.Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them.Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needs Dad.

Answer 1

　　美国是有孩子为父亲庆祝官方节日的少数国家之一。在六月的第三个星期天，全美国的父亲都会收到礼物，品尝孩子做的晚餐或者其他的让他们感到特别的事情。然而，设置这个让孩子为父亲庆祝的节日的想法开始于华盛顿州斯波坎市。1909年，一个叫Sonora
　　Smart Dodd的女人在听一个关于母亲节的演讲时想出了这个主意。在她母亲死后，他被父亲Henry Jackson
Smart养大，她想让父亲知道他对她是多么特别。
　　是她的父亲既当爹又当妈，做出了牺牲。在他女儿的眼中，他是一个无私慈爱的人。Sonora的父亲出生在六月，所以她选择在1910年六月19号在华盛顿州斯波坎市举办第一个父亲节。
　　在1924年，Calvin Coolidge总统宣布六月的第三个星期天为父亲节。玫瑰是父亲节的花束：红玫瑰送给为生活操劳的父亲，白色送给死去的父亲。
　　当孩子们不能看到父亲或者带父亲出去吃饭时，他们会给父亲一张问候卡。传统上说，父亲更愿意收到那些不需要花费心思的问候卡。大多数问候卡都很特别，所以当父亲打开问候卡时会会心一笑。无论孩子何时需要父亲，父亲都会满怀衷心得在那里等着孩子。
