this sunday is fathers day here in the uk and in many countries around the world. look at a couple of very common phrases relating to fatherhood.
1) like father, like son. 汉语里我们有句话叫有其父必有其子
example
woman: and hows jonathan?
woman 2: good question ╟ id like to know the answer! hes ever so quiet and i never know what hes thinking...
woman: oh yeah.
woman 2: mind you, his dads exactly the same. like father, like son.
2) you werent even a twinkle in your fathers eye 这是个很幽默的短语意思是,你那时还没出生呢.
example
woman: i didnt know you used to have a motorbike!
man: oh yes. i had one for a couple of years... it must have been in the sixties, before you were even a twinkle in your fathers eye!
