A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
父
Parent
My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.
我父母的离婚和学校的艰难时光，所有这些加在一起塑造了我，让我成长得更快。它给我动力去追求我的梦想，否则我不一定会有。
There are certain things you learn to do as a parent - using every single part of your body because you're multitasking all the time. You're holding the baby and you're closing the door with your left foot.
作为父母，你要学会做一些事情——利用你身体的每一部分，因为你一直在同时处理多项任务。你抱着孩子，用左脚把门关上。
Now that I have kids, I'm probably more overprotective than I've ever been. My wife's nickname for me is 'red alert.' I sometimes check just to see if the kids are breathing. But I try not to be a helicopter parent.
现在我有了孩子，我可能比以往任何时候都更过分地保护自己了。我妻子给我起的绰号是“红色警报”。“有时候我只是想看看孩子们是否还在呼吸。但我尽量不做一个直升机家长。
What does it feel like to be a parent? What does it feel like to be a child? And that's what stories do. They bring you there. They offer a dramatic explanation, which is always different from an expository explanation.
当父母是什么感觉?当个孩子是什么感觉?这就是故事的作用。他们把你带到那里。他们提供了戏剧性的解释，这总是不同于解释性的解释。
My father never kissed me, hugged me or told me that he loved me. As my only living parent, he became the filter through which I saw myself, the possibilities for my life, the world and all men. He was a conflicted and dark filter.
我父亲从来没有吻过我，拥抱过我，也没有对我说过他爱我。作为我唯一在世的父母，他成为了我审视自己的过滤器，通过他，我看到了我的生活、世界和所有人的可能性。他是一个矛盾和黑暗的过滤器。
I remind everyone: Whether you school them at home or send them to school, you as a parent have the responsibility to make sure they learn and behave. Teachers and principals may help, but parents are the ones who must accept responsibility.
我提醒所有人:无论你是在家教育他们还是送他们上学，作为父母，你都有责任确保他们学习和表现良好。老师和校长可能会有所帮助，但家长必须承担责任。
The child gets two confusing messages when a parent tells him which is the right fork to use, and then proceeds to use the wrong one. So does the child who listens to parents bicker and fuss, yet is told to be nice to his brothers and sisters.
当父母告诉孩子使用哪个叉是正确的，然后继续使用错误的叉时，孩子会得到两个令人困惑的消息。孩子们听父母吵吵闹闹，却被告知要对兄弟姐妹好，也会这样做。
However, as a parent, as a grandparent, as a former educator, I know that these practices alone when we are dealing with young children are insufficient. We will never control this rising epidemic without greater accountability from the food industry.
然而，作为一个家长，作为一个祖父母，作为一个前教育工作者，我知道，当我们与年幼的孩子打交道时，仅靠这些做法是不够的。如果食品行业不承担更大的责任，我们将永远无法控制这一不断上升的流行病。
As a parent, it's my responsibility to equip my child to do this - to grieve when grief is necessary and to realize that life is still profoundly beautiful and worth living despite the fact that we inevitably lose one another and that life ends, and we don't know what happens after death.
作为家长,这是我的责任,让我的孩子这样做——悲伤当悲伤是必要的,意识到,生活仍然是深刻的美丽和价值尽管我们不可避免地失去,生命结束,我们不知道死后会发生什么。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
What I've learned about being a parent is how much you sort of secretly learn from everyone else and how valuable it is.
我从为人父母中学到的是，你在某种程度上偷偷地从其他人身上学到的东西，以及它的价值。
I think women look for that quality in a man of being a good dad whether they're immediately wanting to be a parent or not.
我认为女人在男人身上寻找成为一个好爸爸的品质，不管她们是否想马上成为一个好爸爸。
You have to be the parent; you can't be their friend.
你必须是父母;你不可能成为他们的朋友。
The best training any parent can give a child is to train the child to train himself.
父母能给孩子最好的训练就是训练孩子训练自己。
Obviously, losing a parent is very difficult. I miss my dad every day, but I know he would be proud to see me continuing to swim and going for another shot at the Olympics.
显然，失去父母是非常困难的。我每天都想念我的爸爸，但我知道他会为看到我继续游泳并在奥运会上再试一次而感到自豪。
I think that discipline is so much of an important part of being a parent. Because it's very, very important to teach your children to take responsibility for their actions.
我认为纪律是为人父母非常重要的一部分。因为教育你的孩子为他们的行为负责是非常非常重要的。
