What date is Father's Day this year?

今年父亲节是哪天？

Father's Day falls on Sunday, June 18, 2017 in the UK, as well as a host of other countries around the world.

在英国和全球很多国家，2017年父亲节是在6月18日这一天。

Why do we celebrate Father's Day? 

我们为何要过父亲节？

The idea originated in the USA and has been officially celebrated there on the third Sunday in June since 1966.

父亲节的想法起源于美国，1966年起将日期正式确立为6月的第三个星期日。

The exact origins of what we now know as Father’s Day are disputed, though we do know the movement for a day which celebrated fatherhood began roughly 100 years ago.

不过，我们现在熟知的父亲节的确切起源仍存在争议，尽管选一天为父亲过节的方式始于大约100年前。

Many believe that Sonora Dodd, from Washington, came up with the idea after hearing a Mother’s Day sermon in 1910 and wondering, not unreasonably, why fathers did not have their own day too.

很多人认为，是来自华盛顿的索诺拉·多德在1910年听到母亲节布道之后提出了父亲节的想法，她好奇为何爸爸们没有属于自己的节日。这种想法不无道理。

Dodd and her siblings had been raised by their father as a single parent after their mother died in childbirth.

多德和她的兄弟姐妹由父亲一手养大，母亲在分娩时过世。

With the local YMCA and the Ministerial Association of Spokane, a city near where she was born, Dodd began a campaign to have the day officially recognised.

多德与当地基督教青年会和邻近城市斯波坎的牧师联合会一道开展活动，让这个日子获得了正式认可。

The first such “Father’s Day” was held in Spokane in 1910, with a number of towns and cities across America later following suit.

首个这样的“父亲节”就于1910年在斯波坎诞生了，全美很多城市和城镇后来纷纷响应。

Others say it is Grace Golden Clayton, from Fairmont, West Virginia, who should be credited with the concept of Father’s Day, after she suggested a day celebrating fatherhood in 1908.

也有人认为是费尔蒙特的格蕾丝·戈尔登·克莱顿提出了“父亲节”的概念，她于1908年建议为爸爸们设立一个节日。

She put forward the idea following a mine explosion in a nearby town which killed more than 360 men – arguing that children in the town needed a time to remember their fathers. Mrs Clayton may have been inspired by Anna Jarvis' work to establish Mother's Day.

附近城镇的一次矿井爆炸事故夺去了360余名男性的生命，使克莱顿提出了上述想法，认为这个镇上的孩子们需要一个时间来纪念他们的父亲。克莱顿或许受到了安娜·查韦斯为设立母亲节所作努力的启发。

Now, the day exists simply to remind everyone that dads are great.

如今，父亲节只是为了提醒大家爸爸们有多么伟大。

How is Father's Day celebrated around the world?

世界各地如何庆祝父亲节？

While in the UK fathers can expect, at best, a breakfast in bed and handmade card and, at worst, the day to be completely ignored, elsewhere the festival is done a little differently.

在英国，父亲们充其量只能指望一顿床上早餐和一个手制卡片，最惨的就是一天过去了，却压根没人记得这个节日。而其他国家的父亲节庆祝方式也有所不同。

In Germany it is called Vatertag (Father’s Day) but is also sometimes known as Männertag (or men’s day).

在德国，这个节日被叫作Vatertag（父亲节），但有时也被称为Männertag（男人节）。

In certain regions it is traditional for groups of men to go into the woods with a wagon of beer, wines and meats. Heavy drinking is common and, according to official statistics, traffic-related accidents spike on this day.

在有些地区，父亲节的传统是一群男人载着一车啤酒、红酒和肉，去森林中庆祝。大家往往会喝得烂醉如泥，据官方数据统计，这一天的交通事故数量往往会飙升。

In China, Father’s Day used to be celebrated on 8 August as the Chinese for eight is “ba”, while a colloquial word for father is “ba-ba” – so the eighth day of the eighth month sounds similar to “daddy”.

在中国，人们过去常常在8月8日庆祝父亲节。因为汉语中8的发音是“ba”，父亲的口语发音是“ba-ba”，所以8月8日听起来像“爸爸”。

The day has since been moved to the third Sunday of June, in line with the UK and US.

后来，这个节日改成了6月的第三个星期日，与英国和美国为同一天。

好啦，看到这里，小伙伴们疯狂抢购的时候不要忘记给父亲准备一份称心的礼物哦~小编为大家搜罗了一些既实用又fashion的选择，饱含着译·世界满满的诚意和祝福❤❤

1. A new everyday wallet 一个新的日常款钱包

Wallets are one of those items that get a lot of wear and not a lot of care in return. There's a good chance your dad's is coming apart at its seams or bulging uncomfortably from his back pocket.

钱包是经常需要随身携带，且无需精心打理的物品之一。当你发现爸爸的钱包破了，或者钱包从他的裤子后兜里不规整地鼓出来时，就是送给他一个钱包的大好时机。

If that's the case, a wallet will be a welcome improvement to whatever his back pocket currently holds.

在这种情况下，无论他的裤兜里装的是什么，送他一个钱包都是讨喜之举。

2. A battery case for his phone 手机充电壳

Whether he needs directions, the answer to a question, or to get in contact with someone, a dead phone won't help him when he's far from a power source.

无论他是需要导航，还是问问题，或是联系别人，当他身边没有电源的时候，没电的手机就无法派上用场。

If your dad's phone battery is constantly in the red, get him a battery case.

如果你爸爸的手机电池提示经常显示红色的话，就给他买个充电壳吧。

3. A card that tells him how much you love and appreciate him 一张卡片告诉他你有多爱他

Don't forget to tell your dad you love him — that's really the best gift of all.

别忘记告诉爸爸你爱他——这真的是最棒的礼物。

4. An electric toothbrush 一个电动牙刷

Electric toothbrushes are weirdly awesome gifts to give and get. They're fun to use, but also very practical.

无论是送礼还是收礼，电动牙刷都是帅呆酷毙的礼物。既好玩，又实用。

5. A pair of shades 一副墨镜

Pair these sunglasses with a surprise tropical getaway for your parents and win Father's Day.

为父母策划一趟热带之旅，给他们一个惊喜，再送父亲一副墨镜，妥妥的父亲节满分。

6. A personalized shaving kit 一套个性化的剃须套装

There are certain things he could stand to devote more time to, and taking care of his skin is probably one of them. This isn't to say he needs to start spending half an hour shaving his stubble every morning, but he should at least know how to shave it the right way and with the right tools. A personalized shaving set is a good place to begin.

有些事情他可以全身心地投入更多时间，而照顾好皮肤很可能就是其中之一。这并不意味着他每天早上都要花半个小时来刮胡子，但至少他应该知道如何用正确的方式和工具来刮胡子。一套个性化的剃须套装就可以给他一个良好的开端。

7. Create a home-cooked meal with stuff he loves to eat 用他喜欢吃的食材做一顿家常饭

Try whipping up several of your dad's favorite dishes. If cooking isn't your thing, aim to simply make his favorite snack.

尝试做几道你爸爸喜欢吃的菜。如果你不擅长厨艺，那就试着简单地做一些他喜欢吃的小零食吧。

8. Put together a mixtape of his favorite songs 将他喜欢的歌曲做成合集

Figure out how and where your dad listens to music and collect some of his favorites into one place. Having trouble coming up with Dad's songs? Ask Mom or his friends. Better yet, think back to those songs Dad always played when you were young. Once you have them, you can create a playlist using music app or iTunes.

想想你爸爸听音乐时的情景，搜集一些他喜欢的歌曲做成合集。不知道老爸喜欢哪些歌？那就问问老妈或者他的朋友吧。如果能想起你小时候，爸爸经常播放的那些歌曲就更好啦。当你找到这些歌，就可以用音乐类App或者iTunes 做一个播放列表。

9. Scan old photos featuring him and collect them into an album 扫描一些他的老照片，并集合成册

Scan, upload and share your favorite photos of Dad with an online photobook service. When the book comes back, decorate the pages with notes and illustrations of your own.

将你最喜欢的老爸照片扫描、上传并分享至在线相册服务商。当相册寄回来时，用你自己的注释和插图来装饰它。

10. Revive an old pastime 重演以前喜欢的娱乐活动

Did you used to go fishing together? Or maybe you used to love playing chess together. Revive the old tradition and start it up again.

你们以前常常一起钓鱼吗？或者以前你们喜欢一起下棋。想想你们以前喜欢的娱乐活动，再重新玩一次吧。
