【真爱父出】父亲的喜怒哀乐

三、The Worst Parts About Being a Father

　　为父之哀

　　1. Phone calls from your kids in the middle of the night.

　　1.孩子们可能会半夜给你打电话。

　　2. Not feeling like you can say the heartbreakingly tender things to your kids you would like to say because you feel shy, or you're afraid they'd be embarrassed, or because you feel embarrassed or because your father never said stuff like that and you don't know how. The last reason is wholly unacceptable and indicates a need for serious emotional review, but all the other excuses are in fact the very BEST reasons to say the generous things you need to say and they need to hear.

　　2. 你感觉没法对孩子们说温柔感人的话。这也许是因为你觉得害羞，或者你担心孩子们会尴尬，或者你担心自己会尴尬，或者是因为你的父亲从未对你说过这样的话所以你不知道该怎么对你的孩子表达。最后一个理由是完全无法让人接受的，也暗示着你需要进行深刻的情感反省。而事实上，其余的理由恰好是你该对你的孩子们说 这些温柔的话语的理由，同时也是他们需要听这些话的理由。
