One of my earliest memories of Dad
is that he would often leave the house
at dawn to go jogging.
He was a traditional Chinese father,
which means that he didn't show his affection
for his kids easily. And he and I didn't talk much.
Some time ago, he made me go jogging with him.
I hated it because I didn't know what to say to him.
However, as time went by,
he and I began to talk while jogging.
Later, he even began to tell me jokes!
It was a side of him that I had never seen before.
I'm glad that he made me go jogging with him
because our relationship
has greatly improved as a result.
我对父亲最早的一些记忆之一
是他以前常在黎明时离家去慢跑。
他是一个传统的中国父亲，
这意味着他不轻易对儿女表露他的情感，
而且我和他并不常交谈。
前一阵子，他叫我和他去慢跑。
我讨厌和他慢跑，因为我不知道要和他说什么。
然而，随着时间推移，我和他开始在慢跑时交谈。
后来，他甚至开始讲笑话给我听！
这是我以前从未见过的一面。
我很高兴他要我和他去慢跑，
因为我们的父子关系因此大为改善。 |
