  Father's Day
  Third Sunday in June
  6月的第三个星期天
  父亲节在美国
  The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an officialday 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.
  父亲节的来源
  The origin of Father's Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father's Day ceremonywas held in Vancouver, Washington.
  父亲节的推广
  The president of the Chicago branch of the Lions' Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebratedthe first Father's Day with his organization in 1915; and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek's own birthday!
  Regardlessof when the first true Father's Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs. Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd felt that she had an outstandingfather. He was a veteran of the Civil War. His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother.
  父亲节的选定
  In 1909, Mrs. Dodd approachedher own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father's birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart.
  父亲节的制定
  States and organizations began lobbying(游说)Congress to declarean annual Father's Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish more intimaterelations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations." Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June.
  父亲节的庆祝!
  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 whimsical(奇形怪状的,异想天开的)so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there wheneverthe child needed Dad.
