我昨天清理了爸爸的衣橱。
I cleaned out Dad’s closet yesterday.
有两样东西我没有办法打包：他的工作T-恤和两双红翼牌的靴子。
There were two things I couldn’t box up: his work shirts and his two pairs of Red Wing boots.
他不记得第一双靴子是在生日还是纪念日的时候买的，但是却记得买鞋的具体日期。
He couldn’t remember birthdays or anniversaries, but he remembered the date on which he’d bought his first pair.
我也记得是4月16日，缴税日的后一天。
I remember it too—April 16, the day after Tax Day.
一个孩子要怎么处理爸爸最喜欢的靴子呢？
What does a child do with her dad’s favorite boots?
我想用它们做一个培植器皿或者藏些值钱的玩意。
I think I will make a planter out of them or use them to store something valuable.
你不能把一个男人最喜欢的靴子扔了。
You can’t throw away a man’s favorite boots.
你要留着它们然后传下去。
You’ve got to keep them and pass them down.
