A Japanese student in my class did a small survey for her paper,which asked just one question:What makes a good father? She received more than 100 email responses and came up with the top three characteristics of a good father:

1.A good temper

2.Nice to mom

3.Smart and funny

After piquing my curiosity with the top three,she then proceeded to outline the rankings past the top three:

4.Smart dresser / up with the times

5.Fun talker and good listener

6.Enjoys his work

7.Manly

8.Good with children

9.Has a lot of friends

10.Good at sports

I asked her,“What do you think of these answers?”

She thought for a second before answering,“I couldn’t help but notice that no one considers a man with money and power.” (FromShanghai Elderly News,June 20,2020.Translation:Lu Qiongyao)

班上有個(gè)日本學(xué)生為寫(xiě)論文做了一個(gè)小調(diào)查，設(shè)問(wèn)的題目是：最理想的父親應(yīng)該是什么樣子？她收回100多份郵件答卷，得出了最理想的前三名：

1. 脾氣好；

2. 對(duì)媽媽好；

3. 聰明且幽默。

另外，她還告訴了我前三名以后的排行榜：

4. 打扮時(shí)尚，不土；

5. 說(shuō)話有趣，認(rèn)真聽(tīng)對(duì)方說(shuō)話；

6. 熱愛(ài)工作；

7. 有男子氣；

8. 為孩子操心；

9. 周?chē)笥讯啵?/p>

10. 擅長(zhǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。

我問(wèn)她：“你最大的感想是什么呢？”她想了想說(shuō)：“我最大的感想是，沒(méi)人說(shuō)有錢(qián)有權(quán)的父親最理想?！?（摘自《上海老年報(bào)》2020年6月20日）
