圣誕節(jié)快樂Merry christmas

今天是圣誕節(jié)！小曼老師為大家準備了超實用的圣誕相關(guān)英語知識，感興趣的小伙伴們速來get！

圣誕節(jié)起源與傳說有關(guān)“Merry Christmas”起源的問題，其實現(xiàn)在還是比較模糊的。*早用“Merry Christmas”可以追溯至1534年，英國的羅馬天主教主教約翰·費舍爾寫給英國政治家托馬斯·克倫威爾的圣誕祝賀信中。到了1843年，英國的偉大作家，《雙城記》作者查爾斯·狄更斯在他的作品多次使用Merry Christmas，從此便流行起來?！癏appy Christmas”是不是錯的？“Happy Christmas”也是正確的表達，不過只有伊麗莎白二世才這么說。因為英國王室向來講究傳統(tǒng)，而Merry有“微醉的”的意思，說Merry Christmas會有失女王的身份，所以每次都會說“Happy Christmas”，久而久之，在英國就有許多人和女王一樣不再用merry這個詞了。

01圣誕老人的傳說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，父母把給孩子的圣誕禮物裝在襪子里，圣誕夜時掛在孩子們的床頭上。第二天，孩子們醒來后的第*件事就是在床頭上尋找圣誕老人送來的禮物。02圣誕襪子的傳說It is said that there was a goodness man went broke his domain. He lived a hard life and he has three daughters. The three daughters were being married but he didn"t have money to buy dower for his daughters. On the happy Chrismas Eve three girls went to bed early. They didn"t know that their father was so worried. At last the Chrismas father decided to help them . He besprinkled gold through the stack and the gold fell into the socks of the man"s daughters. They lived a happy life from then on... Chrismas socks was origined by this.傳說有個心地善良的沒落貴族，生活非常艱難。三個女兒快要出嫁了，他為沒有錢給她們買嫁妝而難過。喜慶的圣誕夜，三個姑娘早早地蜷在炕上睡覺了，剩下父親在長吁短嘆。圣誕老人決定幫助他們。他在他們家的煙囪里撒下了許多金子，落進姑娘們烤在火爐旁的長統(tǒng)絲襪里。從此，他們過上了幸福而快樂的生活……圣誕節(jié)的襪子就這樣產(chǎn)生。03圣誕樹的傳說It is said that there was a farmer served a poor boy on a cold windy Chrismas Eve and gave him a big chrisemas meal. The boy cut a Fir tree"s branch and inserted it into the earth.He said, "every year this time. there will be many presents in this branch. I wish I can pay back to your favor by this beautiful Fir tree. " After the boy left, the farmer discovered that the branch had grow up as a big tree. Then he realized that the boy was an envoy of the god. This is the origin of the chrismas day. In western countries, Whatever you are, everyone will prepare a chrismas tree to increase the happiness of the chrismas day. Chrismas trees are made of evergreen tree like Fir trees and they represent the long lives.People put candles,flowers,toys,stars on the tree and they put chrismas present on the tree. On Chrismas Eve,people sing and dance happily and they enjoy themselves around the tree.另一個傳說記載。據(jù)說有一位農(nóng)民在一個風雪交加的圣誕夜里接待了一個饑寒交迫的小孩，讓他吃了一頓豐盛的圣誕晚餐，這個孩子告別時折了一根杉樹枝插在地上并祝福說：“年年此日，禮物滿枝，留此美麗的杉村，報答你的好意?！毙『⒆吆?，農(nóng)民發(fā)現(xiàn)那樹枝竟變成了一棵小樹，他才明白自己接待的原來是一位上帝的使者。這個故事就成為圣誕樹的來源。在西方，不論是否基督徒，過圣誕節(jié)時都要準備一棵圣誕樹，以增加節(jié)日的歡樂氣氛。圣誕樹一般是用杉柏之類的常綠樹做成，象征生命長存。樹上裝飾著各種燈燭、彩花、玩具、星星，掛上各種圣誕禮物。圣誕之夜，人們圍著圣誕樹唱歌跳舞，盡情歡樂。
