My father grew up in a time when men were men and did not have long hair and act like sissies.
在我父亲成长的那个年代，男人还是男子汉的样子，而且也不会有男人留着长发，或是做事就像个胆小鬼。
When I was about 10, I had discovered that if you mixed calcium carbide and water you could get acetylene which could explode under the right conditions.
当我10岁的时候，我就知道，如果将碳化钙（电石）和水混合就可以产生乙炔，再给予它适宜的条件，就会产生爆炸反应。
I had captured a bunch of acetylene and compressed it in several large balloons. I had some matches on the end of a stick and I was trying to light it from a safe distance so I could watch it explode.
有一次我得到一堆乙炔然后将它充到几个大气球里。然后我把一些火柴固定在棍子的末端，这样我就可以在一个安全的距离将它点燃，观察看着它爆炸的样子。
The wind was blowing and kept blowing the matches out.
风不停地吹，总把火柴吹灭。
My father was watching from the window. He came out and took the matches from me and said “Give me those matches you sissy”, “This is how it’s done”.
父亲一直透过窗子看着。他走了出来，把火柴从我手里夺了去，然后说：”把火柴给我，你这个胆小鬼，看着，应该这么做。”
My father did not bother using the long stick I had prepared. He took the matches and lit one and leaned over to light the balloons.
他嫌麻烦没有用我准备好的那根长棍子。他拿过火柴，擦着了一根，然后俯身去点气球。
My father was a man. Well, the balloons exploded in a large ball of fire that burned his eye brows and eye lashes off and some of his hair.
我的父亲真是个男子汉。当时气球爆炸烧成了一个大火球，把父亲的眉毛和睫毛都给烧没了，头发也烧去不少。
The fire ball singed his arms and blackened his white shirt.
火花甚至还燎着了他胳膊，把他的白衬衫都给熏黑了
I loved the expression on my fathers’ face. It was an expression of surprise. My father was no sissy.
我很喜欢当时他脸上露出的惊讶的表情，我爸爸可真的不是个胆小鬼啊。
我的父亲和我
Well， I outgrew that childish stage of bomb making and now I am an adult.
现在我已经过了孩子气的想着如何制造炸弹的年纪了，我是个大人了。
I went on to get a degree in nuclear physics andLater moved to Oak Ridge, Tennessee .where they make nuclear weapons!
大学时，我读取了核物理的学位并且之后搬到了田纳西州的橡树岭，那是国家的核武器研发基地！
PS. Actually they never gave me the opportunity to make any nuclear weapons,
PS.实际上他们从来没有给我机会去制造核武器。
but being a Chinese translator,I did have the opportunity to translate some research papers on how the Chinese do it.
但是作为一名中文翻译，我曾有机会做一些关于中国人研发核武器的研究报告。
look back on 2015 回首2015年
It seems that the explosion in Tianjin China yesterday was caused when the fire department came to put out a fire.
似乎在2015年发生的天津爆炸案是当消防部门前去灭火时导致的。
They doused it with several tons of water. But they did not realize that they were dousing several hundred tons of calcium carbide, which was the same chemical I blew my father up with.
他们用了好几吨的水去灭火，但是他们没有意识到那相当于把水浇在了数百吨的碳化钙（电石）上，也就是快要把我父亲烧着的同样的化学成分。
碳化钙遇水的化学反应，产生乙炔，如果数量很多，就会引起爆炸
