01 我的父親
One of my earliest memories of Dad is that he would often leave the house at dawn to go jogging.
我對父親最早的一些記憶之一是他以前常在黎明時離家去慢跑.
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.
而且我和他并不常交談.
Some time ago, he made me go jogging with him.
前一陣子，他叫我和他去慢跑
I hated it be-cause I didn't know what to say to him.
我討厭和他慢跑，因為我不知道要和他說什么.
Needless to say, I did not enjoy exercising with Dad.
不用說，我不喜歡和爸爸一起運動。
However, as time went by, he and I began to talk while jogging.
然而，隨著時間推移，我和他開始在慢跑時交談。
Later, he even began to tell me jokes!
后來，他甚至開始講笑話給我聽!
It was a side of him that I had never seen before.
這是我以前從未見過的一面。
I'm gald that he made me go jogging with him because our relationship has greatly improved as a result.
我很高興他要我和他去慢跑，因為我們的父子關(guān)系因此大為改。
