阅读理解 On the third Sunday in June, Americans take time to recognize and thank a special person in the family — fathers! Father's Day celebrates the importance of fathers, young and old and the men thought of as father figures. The words “ the child is father of the man ” come from William Wordsworth's poem My Heart Leaps Up . “ It means people's personalities form when they are children. They will most likely have the same qualities as an adult that they had as a child. ” Used in everyday speech, one could say, “ In his case, the child was father of the man; he loved nature as a child and now works as a botanist ( 植物学家 ) ”. Let's say you want to tell a child a story about something that happened long before they were born. You could say it happened when they “ were just a twinkle in their father's eyes ” . This expression has a humorous and dreamy feel. Here, the word “ twinkle ” suggests the interest your father had in your mother. When a much older man is interested in a much younger woman and supports her with his money, he is called her “ sugar daddy ” . The money part is very important — that's the sugar. Sometimes fathers are not a good influence or active in the lives of the children. In that case, a person may look for a father figure, a man who is not actually the person's father but who acts like one. The relationship between a man and his son can be complex. But the relationship between a father and daughter is often simpler. The expression “ daddy's little girl ” is understood to mean that, in a father's eyes, his daughter can do no wrong. There is usually not a dry eye at any wedding during the traditional father­and­daughter dance, especially if they are dancing to a song like Michael Buble's “ Daddy's Little Girl. ”
