關(guān)于圣誕節(jié)的英語故事一：為何要戴紙帽子
All over Britain on Christmas Day, families can be found sitting around their dining tables enjoying a traditional lunch of roast turkey with all the trimmings - and all, regardless of age, wearing coloured paper hats. It is rumoured that even the Queen wears her paper hat over lunch!
圣誕節(jié)當(dāng)天，全英國的家庭都會(huì)坐在餐桌前，吃一頓傳統(tǒng)的圣誕大餐，塞滿了各種餡料的烤火雞。無論年齡老幼，所有人都會(huì)在頭上戴一頂彩色紙做成的紙帽子。據(jù)說，就連伊莉莎白女王也會(huì)戴紙帽子哦!
So why this quaint tradition? Where do these paper hats come from? The answer is the Christmas Cracker.
那為什么會(huì)有這個(gè)古怪的傳統(tǒng)呢?戴紙帽子的.傳統(tǒng)來源于哪里?答案就在另一項(xiàng)圣誕傳統(tǒng)活動(dòng)——圣誕拉炮!
A Christmas Cracker is a cardboard paper tube, wrapped in brightly coloured paper and twisted at both ends. There is a banger inside the cracker, two strips of chemically impregnated paper that react with friction so that when the cracker is pulled apart by two people, the cracker makes a bang.
圣誕拉炮是用硬紙板做的紙筒，再用色彩鮮艷的彩紙包裹在外面，兩端擰緊。在拉炮里會(huì)有一個(gè)爆竹，當(dāng)兩個(gè)人拉動(dòng)拉炮兩端時(shí)，拉炮里的兩條浸漬紙就會(huì)發(fā)生摩擦，發(fā)出“嘣”的響聲。
Inside the cracker there is a paper crown made from tissue paper, a motto or joke on a slip of paper and a little gift.
拉炮里會(huì)裝有紙做的皇冠、寫在紙上的名言或笑話，還會(huì)有一些小禮物。
Christmas crackers are a British tradition dating back to Victorian times when in the early 1850s, London confectioner Tom Smith started adding a motto to his sugared almond bonbons which he sold wrapped in a twisted paper package.
圣誕拉炮成為英國傳統(tǒng)的歷史可以追溯到維多利亞時(shí)期，約在19世紀(jì)50年代早期，倫敦的一個(gè)糖果商湯姆-史密斯把寫有名言的紙片放在了他售賣的糖果包裝里，包裝方式就是在糖果外用紙將兩頭擰緊。
The paper hat was added to the cracker in the early 1900s. The cracker was soon adopted as a traditional festive custom and today virtually every household has at least one box of crackers to pull over Christmas.
到了20世紀(jì)初，紙帽子也被放到了圣誕拉炮里。很快，拉炮就成了英國人過圣誕節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗。現(xiàn)在，所有的英國家庭至少都會(huì)準(zhǔn)備一盒拉炮留到圣誕節(jié)時(shí)來拉響。
關(guān)于圣誕節(jié)的英語故事二：Hiding the Presents 藏禮物
i had finished my christmas shopping early and had wrapped all the presents. having two curious children, i had to find a suitable hiding place. i chose an ideal spot—the furnace room. i stacked the presents and covered them with a blanket, positive they’d remain undiscovered. when i went to get the gifts to put them under the tree, i lifted the blanket and there, stacked neatly on top of my gifts, were presents addressed to "mom and dad, from the kids."
早些天我就做好圣誕購物并包裝好所有的禮物了。因?yàn)橛袃蓚�(gè)好奇的孩子，我需要找一個(gè)適合藏禮物的隱蔽處。我想到了一個(gè)理想的地方--爐子間。我疊好禮物，用一塊毯子把它們蓋起來，覺得它們肯定不會(huì)被發(fā)現(xiàn)。當(dāng)我去拿禮物想把它們放在圣誕樹下時(shí)，我掀開毯子，看到，在我準(zhǔn)備好的禮物上面整齊地疊放著另一些禮物，上面寫著“給爸爸媽媽，你們的寶貝”
關(guān)于圣誕節(jié)的英語故事三：
Chrismas Father was the descendant of a deity called Odin. It's also said that Chrismas Father comes from San Nichola, so he is also called St.Nicholas. He was the bishop of Asia Minor city of Rafah and he was called a man of God after his death. He is an old man in red clothes and he wears a red hat.He has white mustache. He comes from the north on a blowmobile every Chrismas Day. He went into people's houses by the track and he put the presents into children's socks. So in western countries,parents put the gifts to their kids in kids' socks and put them on the head of the bed on Chrismas Eve. On the second day, the first thing after kids wake up is to find the presents from Chrismas Fathers.
圣誕老人為奧丁神后裔. 也傳說稱圣誕老人由圣·尼古拉而來,所以圣誕老人也稱St.Nicholas.據(jù)說他原是小亞細(xì)亞每拉城的主教,名叫圣尼古拉,死后被尊為圣徒,是一位身穿紅袍、頭戴紅帽的白胡子老頭.每年圣誕節(jié)他駕著鹿拉的雪橇從北方而來,由煙囪進(jìn)入各家,把圣誕禮物裝在襪子里掛在孩子們的床頭上或火爐前.所以,西方人過圣誕節(jié)時(shí),父母把給孩子的圣誕禮物裝在襪子里,圣誕夜時(shí)掛在孩子們的床頭上.第二天,孩子們醒來后的第一件事就是在床頭上尋找圣誕老人送來的禮物
