美文赏析
As your big weekend is approaching，I find myself getting more and more worried that I might break down① during my toast.So in advance，please accept this letter and these gifts.While I hope to share my feelings with everyone at the dinner, it's more important to me that you realize how much I love you and how proud I am of the amazing woman you have become.
My memory is usually terrible，but I will never forget how precious you were as a child.I loved cradling② you in my arms，putting your sleepy body over my shoulder when you were too tired to walk，playing with you in the park，tossing③ you high in the air in the pool，and reading
kids' books to you on the bookstore floor.You are thoughtful，sensitive，caring and loving.You were，and still are, an angel.
When I think of you as an adult，I think of your big heart.It's your heart that has brought meals to hungry kids，that has led you to become vegetarian④，that
helps you care for family and friends in need.For these reasons I have selected three hearts as a dad's gift to his soontobewedded daughter.
One heart is a locket⑤ with a picture of you and me together.It's a reminder that I love you and will love you forever.The second heart is made of jade⑥ and bears the Chinese character“Fu”．Jade represents luck and“Fu” means happiness.I want your life to be filled with both.David is a good man，a lucky man.When I see you together，I see happiness.The third heart is just pretty and represents your beauty，inside and out.
The wedding will be amazing.I can't wait to see you walk down the aisle⑦ in your beautiful gown and dance with you in celebration.My hope is that it will bring lasting memories.
A father's greatest dream is for his child's life to be filled with joy.That is my hope for you and David.
From your devoted and proud Dad.
P．S.I can't wait to love your kids the way I love you.

2．攻克疑难句
While I hope to share my feelings with everyone at the dinner，it's more important to me that you realize how much I love you and how proud I am of the amazing woman you have become.
结构分析 While I．..at the dinner是让步状语从句；it是形式主语；that you...have become是主语从句，其中how much I love you和how proud I am of the amazing woman都是realize的宾语。you have become是定语从句修饰woman，省略了作宾语的关系代词who/that。
尝试翻译 虽然我希望与聚餐的每一位朋友一起分享我的情感，但对我来说，让你明白我是多么爱你，为你已长成一位如此出色的女人是多么的自豪，这更加重要。
