Dear Dad，
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, and selected and read again, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with you. I’ve always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.
You know, Dad, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized by it. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other, father and daughter split apart by age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing, curfews, music, and boys.
The Father-Daughter Duel of ’54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the ‘54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who escorted me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a snotty 16 year old. You were so decent about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.

亲爱的爸爸，
今天我在购物中心，我花了很多时间读父亲节贺卡。他们都有一个特殊的信息，在某种程度上反映了我对你的感觉。然而，当我选择和阅读，并选择和再次阅读，它发生在我身上，没有一张卡说，我真的想对你说。
爸爸，你很快就84岁了，我和你一起度过了55个父亲节。父亲节那天我没有和你在一起，也没有和你一起过生日。不是因为我不想和你在一起。我一直与你在我的心，但有时生活的方式。
你知道，爸爸，有一段时间，我们不仅被代沟隔开，而且完全被它所极化。你站在大分水岭的一侧，我在另一方面，父亲和女儿分离的年龄、经验、意见、发型、化妆、服装、音乐、和男孩宵禁。
当你教我驾驶旧道奇的时候，“54”的父亲Daughter Duel转向高齿轮，我决定我会驾驶“54雪佛兰”不管你喜欢与否。警察护送我回家后，你报告的日间偷来的晚了一天晚上太年轻不懂父亲的女儿政治和太旧了，有足够的宽容，对这个16岁的。你真是太体面了，爸爸，我想那可能是我人生中最糟糕的夜晚。
