总有一些回忆，你无法舍弃

我昨天清理了爸爸的衣橱。

There were two things I couldn’t box up: his work shirts and his two pairs of Red Wing boots.

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。

He couldn’t remember birthdays or anniversaries, but he remembered the date on which he’d bought his first pair.

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。

I remember it too—April 16, the day after Tax Day.

我也记得是4月16日，缴税日的后一天。

What does a child do with her dad’s favorite boots?

I think I will make a planter out of them or use them to store something valuable.

我想用它们做一个培植器皿或者藏些值钱的玩意。

You can’t throw away a man’s favorite boots.

You’ve got to keep them and pass them down.
