4.On the third Sunday in June,Americans take time to recognize and thank a special person in the family-fathers!Father's Day celebrates the importance of fathers,young and old,and the men thought of as father figures.
"Like father,like son"is probably the most common father expression.It means a boy is very much like his father,and sons often do what their fathers did before them.This can be a good thing or a bad thing.
Harry Chapin's song,"Cat's in the Cradle",was popular in the 1970s.He sings about a father who did not spend time with his son.His son grew up to be a man who did not have time for his aging father.Like father,like son.
The words "the child is father of the man"come from William Wordsworth's poem"My Heart Leaps Up".In everyday speech,one could say,"In his case,the child was father of the man; he loved nature as a child and now works as a botanist(植物學家)."
Let's say you want to tell children a story about something that happened long before they were born.You could say it happened when they"were just a twinkle in their father's eyes".This expression has a humorous and dreamy feel.Here,the word"twinkle"suggests the interest your father had in your mother.
The expression"daddy's little girl"is understood to mean that,in a father's eyes,his daughter can do no wrong.
There is usually not a dry eye at any wedding during the traditional father-and-daughter dance,especially if they are dancing to a song like Michael Buble's"Daddy's Little Girl".
