Unit 1 Why mom gets roses?, and dad a colle?ct call (为什么妈妈?得到玫瑰,而爸爸得到?的却是“对方付费电?话”) 美国人在母?亲节和父亲?节都会庆祝?。然而，在这两个场?合中，父亲和母亲?从孩子那儿?收到的礼物?却不相同。这篇文章研?究了差异背?后的问题。 Let’s face it: there?’s somet?hing about? a silk tie that stran?gles senti?ment. 我们要面对?这样一个事?实：有些东西就?像丝带一样?，扼制了我们?的情感表达?。 Where?as May overf?lows with tende?r token?s for mom-measu?red by the 150 milli?on greet?ing cards? and the wire-jammi?ng long-dista?nce telep?hone calls?--dear old dad gener?ally will make do with much less this Sunda?y. As many dads know, Fathe?r’s Day is the No.1 day for colle?ct call—and for proud?ly model?ing a new glow-in-the-dark footb?all tie. 尽管母亲节?使五月充满?了温情的礼?物，包括1亿5?千万张贺卡?和多得使线?路堵塞的长?途电话，但亲爱的老?爸在这个周?日却要凑合?着少得多的?纪念品。许多父亲都?知道，父亲节是“对方付费电?话”最多的一天?，也是父亲们?骄傲地展示?一条新的、会在暗处发?光的足球领?带的最多的?一天。 Even if dads don’t mind, the Fathe?r’s Day/Mothe?r’s Day discr?epanc?y nonet?heles?s speak?s to socie?ty’s views? on paren?thood? and fathe?r’s role in raisi?ng child?ren. “ the “gag gifts?” assoc?iated? with Fathe?r’s Day refle?ct the profo?und ambiv?alenc?e（正反感情并?存）that our cultu?re feels? about? emoti?onal conne?ction?s to fathe?rs,” says Scott? Coltr?ane, a socio?logis?t at the Unive?rsity? of Calif?ornia? at River?side. 虽然父亲们?并不在意，但父亲节和?母亲节的差?异依然说明?了社会对于?父母身份和?父亲在抚养?孩子中的角?色的看法。“那种与父亲?节有关的、戏弄式的礼?物反映了意?义深远的矛?盾，这就是我们?的文化所感?觉到的与父?亲情感上的?联系。”加利福尼亚?大学赛德分?校的一位社?会学家Sc?ott Coltr?ane说道?。 But how Ameri?cans celeb?rate fathe?rhood? may catch? up with today?’s dads, other?s say. “Gende?r roles? and gende?r behav?ior are chang?ing all the time,” says Frede?ric Brune?l, assoc?iate profe?ssor of marke?ting at Bosto?n Unive?rsity? Schoo?l of Manag?ement?. 但是，也有人说，美国人庆祝?父亲节的方?式已经赶上?了现代父亲?们的节奏。波士顿大学?管理学院营?销学副教授?Frede?ric Brune?l说：“性别角色和?性别行为是?一直在变化?的。” There? are some signs? that may be happe?ning.
