The Spirit of Christmas
圣诞节的意义
Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts,Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas:the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Chrj3tmas CaroL is perhaps the best example of this.
许多人会赞同(这个看法),每当我们想起圣诞节,极有可能想到的是礼物、圣诞树和圣诞老人。但在所有这些食物的背后隐藏着圣诞节的真正含义——重要的是把爱和欢乐带给我们周边的人们,并和他们一同分享。《圣诞欢歌》这个故事可能就是一个最好的例子。
A Christm.as Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself. He doesn't treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve,Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley,his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge,so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn't want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.
《圣诞欢歌》是查尔斯·狄更斯所写的一本著名的短篇小说。它讲的是一个名叫斯克鲁奇从无笑容,他十分吝啬,只想着自己。他对待其他人也不友善。他只关心自己能否赚到更多的钱财,而且他还厌恶圣诞节。在一个圣诞前夜里,他见到了已经逝去的生意伙伴雅克布·马利的亡灵。马利过去就像斯克鲁奇一样,所以他死后受到了惩罚。马利告诫斯克鲁奇,若是不想和他落得同样的下场,就应该改变他的行事方式。他还告诉斯克鲁奇要做好准备,夜间会有三个精灵光临拜访。
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present,takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead,but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning-Christmas Day!
那天夜里,三个圣诞精灵造访了斯克鲁奇。首先,“圣诞过去之灵”将他带回到他的童年时代,让他回顾了自己儿时的快乐时光;接着,第二个精灵,“圣诞现在之灵”,领他去看这一年其他人如何欢度圣诞;最后一个精灵,“圣诞未来之灵”领他进入未来,他看到自己死了,但人们毫不在意。斯克鲁奇害怕至极,从睡梦中惊醒,发现此时竟是第二天圣诞清晨!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!
他决心改变自己的人生,承诺去做一个善人。他高兴地与自己的亲戚们一起庆祝圣诞,还把礼物送给需要的人们。现在烦人他对待每个人都充满善意和温暖,走到哪里便把爱与欢乐带到哪里。这便是圣诞的真正含义。
