Happy Father's Day to all the dads
Hi, everybody. This Sunday is Father’s Day, and so I wanted to take a moment to talk about the most important job many of us will ever have – and that’s being a dad.
Today we’re (1) to live in a world where technology allows us to connect instantly with just about anyone on the planet. But no matter how advanced we get, there will never be a (2) for the love and support and, most importantly, the presence of a parent in a child’s life. And in many ways, that’s uniquely true for fathers.
I never really knew my own father. I was raised by a single mom and two wonderful grandparents who made incredible sacrifices for me. And there are single parents all across the country who do a heroic job raising terrific kids. But I still wish I had a dad who was not only around, but involved; another role model to teach me what my mom did her best to instill – values like hard work and (3) ; responsibility and delayed gratification – all the things that give a child the foundation to (4) a brighter future for themselves.
That’s why I try every day to be for Michelle and my girls what my father was not for my mother and me. And I’ve met plenty of other people – dads and uncles and men without a family connection – who are trying to (5) the cycle and give more of our young people a strong male role model.
Being a good parent – whether you’re gay or straight; a foster parent or a grandparent – isn’t easy. It demands your (6) attention, frequent sacrifice, and a healthy dose of patience. And nobody’s perfect. To this day, I’m still (7) out how to be a better husband to my wife and father to my kids.
And I want to do what I can as President to encourage marriage and strong families. We should (8) our child support laws to get more men working and engaged with their children. And my Administration will continue to work with the faith and other community organizations, as well as businesses, on a campaign to encourage strong parenting and fatherhood.
Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s that all our personal successes shine a little less brightly if we fail at family. That’s what matters most. When I look back on my life, I won’t be thinking about any particular (9) I passed or policy I promoted. I’ll be thinking about Michelle, and the journey we’ve been on together. I’ll be thinking about Sasha’s dance recitals and Malia’s tennis matches – about the conversations we’ve had and the quiet moments we’ve shared. I’ll be thinking about whether I did right by them, and whether they knew, every day, just how much they were loved.
That’s what I think being a father is all about. And if we can do our best to be a source of comfort and encouragement to our kids; if we can show them (10) love and help them grow into the people they were meant to be; then we will have succeeded.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, and have a great weekend.

上期文章講解
你聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)“正念冥想”嗎?
冥想是指深度呼吸和安靜思考,過(guò)去只用在宗教場(chǎng)所和瑜伽中心。
但如今正念冥想出現(xiàn)在美國(guó)各地,從辦公室到學(xué)校,從監(jiān)獄到軍隊(duì)。
練習(xí)冥想、瑜伽和類似鍛煉的人有時(shí)被稱為“新時(shí)代人”,他們通常飲食很健康,很多新時(shí)代人不吃肉,他們尊崇道教或佛教等東方宗教。
新時(shí)代人可能會(huì)談到“活在當(dāng)下”,這是正念冥想運(yùn)動(dòng)的核心,是指只思考當(dāng)下,不去過(guò)問(wèn)過(guò)去和未來(lái)。
正念運(yùn)動(dòng)已經(jīng)開(kāi)展多年了,但現(xiàn)在已被成為一場(chǎng)革命。支持者稱這種革命可以減緩壓力和緊張,改善身體、心理和精神。
比如,想下有時(shí)充滿壓力的場(chǎng)面,去看醫(yī)生,尤其是牙醫(yī)。
坐在牙醫(yī)的椅子上可能讓人擔(dān)心和緊張,你可能會(huì)驚訝牙醫(yī)也會(huì)有這種感覺(jué)。
阿爾納•鮑爾是華盛頓特區(qū)的一名牙醫(yī),她描述了為了她的工作環(huán)境會(huì)讓人感覺(jué)有壓力。
“這里當(dāng)然會(huì)緊張了,在一個(gè)小環(huán)境下工作,需要精確,非常準(zhǔn)確,而且你要努力讓病人感到舒服,所以你會(huì)感到很有壓力!
鮑爾在華盛頓特區(qū)一家瑜伽館練正念冥想,來(lái)幫助放松緊張的神經(jīng)。
休•伯恩自2000年以來(lái)一直在教正念冥想,他說(shuō)冥想就是只思考當(dāng)下。
“坐在這里或躺在這里,看你是否能就目前所經(jīng)歷的一切開(kāi)放身心!
博爾說(shuō)有的冥想是將頭腦中的一切想法都清除掉,但正念冥想不是這樣的,而是只關(guān)注現(xiàn)在和此刻。
與其他發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家相比,美國(guó)人工作的時(shí)間更久,但度假時(shí)間更短。每天上班和上學(xué)的路上可能會(huì)漫長(zhǎng)而艱難。
電子郵件、短信和社交媒體的壓力使得人們?cè)絹?lái)越難以與世隔離,但與世隔離確實(shí)正念冥想的一部分。
然而批評(píng)者說(shuō)正念冥想只是一時(shí)流行的東西,稱它忽略了古代佛家冥想傳統(tǒng)中的道德成分。
伯恩并不這么認(rèn)為,他說(shuō)正念冥想是幫助人們減壓、緩解緊張的一種方法,他稱其為一個(gè)寬闊的出口。
“這是一個(gè)寬闊的出口,人們可能會(huì)說(shuō),‘我對(duì)佛教或東方精神并不感興趣,但我確實(shí)想減壓,想減少焦慮!
研究表明美國(guó)年輕人越發(fā)認(rèn)為自己是“精神的而非宗教的”。博爾說(shuō)冥想適合他們,正如在前蘇聯(lián)長(zhǎng)大的鮑爾一樣。她說(shuō)宗教不是她童年的一部分,但現(xiàn)在她說(shuō)自己想嘗試佛教。
在半小時(shí)的正念冥想后,這位緊張的牙醫(yī)怎么樣了呢?鮑爾說(shuō)這種練習(xí)幫助阻止噪音,就是她所說(shuō)的頭腦里的“聒噪聲”。
“就是頭腦里的喋喋不休,身體里的能量很緊張,現(xiàn)在我感覺(jué)自己講話更慢了,身體更放松了,我的心跳也在放慢!
這就是美國(guó)之音慢速英語(yǔ)健康報(bào)道,我是安娜•馬特奧。
你練習(xí)某種冥想嗎?你生活在當(dāng)下嗎?或者你壓力大需要做正念冥想來(lái)休息下嗎?在這個(gè)可以練習(xí)寫(xiě)作的地方,給我們留下你的評(píng)論。,
Happy Father's Day to all the dads
節(jié)日一個(gè)接一個(gè),大家天天快樂(lè)!快樂(lè)每周一聽(tīng)!
