In my opinion,my father is the busiest person in the family.He works at a university.Besides giving lectures,he does most of the house work.Almost every day he has a full schedule and cant afford much leisure.
Yesterday,for example,he had to get up very early.He did some shopping,prepared our breakfast,and went to work in a hurry,because he had to go to the classroombefore 8 oclock.Right after the first two classes,he went to his office to prepare his lessons for the next day.He came back home at 12.He cooked our lunch and wrote a letter.After lunch he went out to mail the letter.Afterward,he had an appointment with his friend to talk some important thing over.On the way to work,he had his hair cut and shoes repaired.Then he went to the lab to do experiments.In the evening,he corrected studentsreports until 11.
Although my father is a very busy person,he feels happy.He often says:”Being idle will make me ill.”So he often finds something to do to keep himself busy.
People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.
人们会乘坐飞机、火车、轮船、公交车去旅游。对于我来说，最好的旅游方式是暑假期间徒步旅游。
On a summer vacation I travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. When I use my feet and walk on a grass covered path or among the hills I feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature. And when I travel on foot I get more freedom. I can plan my own schedule. I can choose my own route. I can stop where I like. And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a train or on a bus.
暑假的时候，我通过旅游去释放自己和游览乡间。当我用双脚走在铺满小草的小径或山间时，我感觉(自己)远离城市的喧嚣，并且更亲近大自然。当我徒步旅行时我可以得到更多的自由。我可以自己选择行程。我可以自己选择路线。只要喜欢，我就可以停下来。而且我可以看到很多人和事，那些我可能乘坐火车或公车旅行而错失的。
When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I still favor using my own feet. I get much pleasure from it.
当更快、更方便的旅游方式变成通用的，我仍然支持用自己的双脚(旅行)，我从中得到了许多乐趣。
When I was young, my father, who always taught me how to be a true man, told me that it is essential to be tolerant in your life whatever happens.
在我年轻的时候，我父亲总是教导我如何成为真正的男人，他说不管发生什么事情，宽容在你的一生中是很重要的。
And that remains the most valuable present he gave me, I think. To be tolerant, I need to keep calm when great trouble lies in front of me, however difficult it is to overcome it; To be tolerant, I need to resist the temptation of all kinds of the outside world, even if it is so attractive; To be torlerant, I need to pull myself(控制自己情绪) in times of extreme sorrows and joys, no matter how they affect me.
我觉得这是他给我最好的礼物。做到宽容，我需要在大麻烦摆在我面前而我也很难克服它时保持冷静。做到宽容，我需要抵制外部世界各种各样的诱惑，即使它很具有吸引力。做到宽容，我需要在悲痛和开心时控制我的情绪，不管它们对我影响有多大。
