圣誕節(jié)快樂Merry christmas

今天是圣誕節(jié)！小曼老師為大家準(zhǔn)備了超實(shí)用的圣誕相關(guān)英語(yǔ)知識(shí)，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(shí)現(xiàn)在還是比較模糊的。*早用“Merry Christmas”可以追溯至1534年，英國(guó)的羅馬天主教主教約翰·費(fèi)舍爾寫給英國(guó)政治家托馬斯·克倫威爾的圣誕祝賀信中。到了1843年，英國(guó)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(cuò)的？“Happy Christmas”也是正確的表達(dá)，不過只有伊麗莎白二世才這么說。因?yàn)橛?guó)王室向來講究傳統(tǒng)，而Merry有“微醉的”的意思，說Merry Christmas會(huì)有失女王的身份，所以每次都會(huì)說“Happy Christmas”，久而久之，在英國(guó)就有許多人和女王一樣不再用merry這個(gè)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.

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*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.
