圣诞快乐 Merry Chrismas

智慧的海洋 the ocean of wisdom

下面是我先前翻译过的几个英语小故事 关于圣诞的

1 圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。 也传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称StNicholas。据说他原是小亚细亚每拉城的主教，名叫圣尼古拉，死后被尊为圣徒，是一位身穿红袍、头戴红帽的白胡子老头。每年圣诞节他驾着鹿拉的雪橇从北方而来，由烟囱进入各家，把圣诞礼物装在袜子里挂在孩子们的床头上或火炉前。所以，西方人过圣诞节时，父母把给孩子的圣诞礼物装在袜子里，圣诞夜时挂在孩子们的床头上。第二天，孩子们醒来后的第一件事就是在床头上寻找圣诞老人送来的礼物

英语：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 StNicholas 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 hatHe 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

2 传说有个心地善良的没落贵族，生活非常艰难。三个女儿快要出嫁了，他为没有钱给她们买嫁妆而难过。喜庆的圣诞夜，三个姑娘早早地蜷在炕上睡觉了，剩下父亲在长吁短叹。圣诞老人决定帮助他们。他在他们家的烟囱里撒下了许多金子，落进姑娘们烤在火炉旁的长统丝袜里。从此，他们过上了幸福而快乐的生活……圣诞节的袜子就这样产生

英语 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

3 另一个传说记载。据说有一位农民在一个风雪交加的圣诞夜里接待了一个饥寒交迫的小孩，让他吃了一顿丰盛的圣诞晚餐，这个孩子告别时折了一根杉树枝插在地上并祝福说：“年年此日，礼物满枝，留此美丽的杉村，报答你的好意。”小孩走后，农民发现那树枝竟变成了一棵小树，他才明白自己接待的原来是一位上帝的使者。这个故事就成为圣诞树的来源。在西方，不论是否基督徒，过圣诞节时都要准备一棵圣诞树，以增加节日的欢乐气氛。圣诞树一般是用杉柏之类的常绿树做成，象征生命长存。树上装饰着各种灯烛、彩花、玩具、星星，挂上各种圣诞礼物。圣诞之夜，人们围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞，尽情欢乐

英语 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 earthHe 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 livesPeople 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

The origin of Santa Claus

History tells usthat the origin of Santa Claus begins in the 4th century with Saint Nicholas,Bishop of Myra (an area in present day Turkey) One of the legends tellsabout that he acquired a fortune when his parents died while he was still in histeens By nature StNicholas was a generous and honest man, particularlydevoted to children He also cared deeply for the poor He brought variousgifts, money and other useful items to the houses of the poor He did this atnight, and in secrecy, so that no one knew, as he wanted no glory, he justwanted to help people He became widely known for his generosity

据史料记载，圣诞老人的原型是公元4世纪的圣尼古拉斯，他是米拉(位于今土耳其境内)的主教。有一种传说认为在他十多岁的时候父母双亡，给他留下一大笔财产。圣尼古拉生来就是个慷慨正直的人，尤其喜爱孩子，还很关心穷苦人，给穷人家里送去各种礼物、钱以及其他有用的物品。他一般都是在夜里秘密地做这些事，这样就没人知道，因为他并不想获得什么赞颂，只是想帮助别人。很快，他就因自己的慷慨而广为人知。

There is one famous legend about SaintNicholas The story tells of Nicholas hearing one day of three beautifulsisters who lived in a miserable hut on the edge of Myra The three sisters were very poor Theycould barely earn enough to keep themselves and their old mother from starvingto death When Nicholas heard of their plight, he was very concerned Hedecided to do something to help them

有一个关于圣尼古拉斯的著名传说，讲的是有一天，尼古拉斯三联阅读3liancom/zl/转载请保留听说在米拉镇边界上一所简陋的小屋里住着美丽的三姐妹。她们非常穷，赚钱很少，几乎难以保证自己和老母亲不被饿死。尼古拉听说了三姐妹的悲惨境况后非常担忧，决定帮助她们。

One night, when everyone was asleep, Nicholascrept through the streets to the edge of town Quietly, he tiptoed up to thehut where the three sisters lived He climbed onto the roof and dropped threebags of gold through the hole in the roof where the smoke from the fire cameout Now it so happened that the three sisters has washed their stockingsbefore they went to bed The stockings has been hung by the fire to dry WhenNicholas dropped the gold through the smoke hole, each bag of gold fell into astocking

一天夜里，当大家都入睡后，尼古拉斯蹑手蹑脚地穿街走巷，来到了小镇边界。他悄悄地踮起脚走到三姐妹住的小屋旁，爬上屋顶，把三袋金子顺着房顶炉火冒烟的洞口扔了下去。而三姐妹上床前恰巧刚洗完自己的长袜，把它们挂在炉火旁烘干。就在尼古拉斯把金子透过烟囱扔下去时，每袋金子分别落入了一只袜子中。

The three sisters were overjoyed to findthree bags of gold in their stockings when they woke up the next morning Soon,the story began to spread Other people began to hang up stockings in the hopeof finding bags of gold when they woke up in the morning From this legendsprang the custom of hanging stockings up by the chimney on Christmas Eve Overthe years, Saint Nicholas became associated with Christmas

第二天一早，三姐妹醒来，发现她们的长袜里竟然有三袋金子，她们欣喜若狂。很快，这个故事便流传开来。其他人也开始把袜子挂起来，希望第二天早上醒来也能发现一袋袋的金子。圣诞夜那天把袜子挂在烟囱旁的习俗就是由这个传说而来。多年来，人们就把圣尼古拉斯与圣诞节联系在了一起。

After his death around 350 AD he was buried in Myra,but in 1087 Italian sailors purportedly stole his remains and removed them to Bari, Italy,greatly increasing St Nicholas' popularity throughout EuropeHis kindness and reputation for generosity and love for children gave rise toclaims that he could perform miracles and devotion to him increased StNicholas became the patron saint of Russia, where he was famous for hisred cape, flowing white beard, and bishop's mitre In Greece, he is the patron saint of sailors; in France he was the patron of lawyers, and in Belgium thepatron of children and travelers The Dutch kept the legend of St Nicholasalive In 16th century Holland,Dutch children would place their wooden shoes by the hearth in hopes that theywould be filled with a treat and goodies

尼古拉斯在约公元350年去世后，被葬于米拉;但据称在1087年，意大利水手们偷走了他的遗骨，转运到了意大利的(东南部港市)巴里，从而大大提升了尼古拉斯在整个欧洲的知名度。他的善良、慷慨以及对孩子的喜爱都让人们认为他会施魔法，人们更加热爱他了。尼古拉斯成了俄罗斯人的守护神，在那里，他以身披红斗篷，留着飘逸的白胡须，戴着主教法冠而闻名。在希腊，他是水手的守护神;在法国，他是律师的庇佑人;在比利时他则是孩子和旅行者的保护神。荷兰人一直都传颂着圣尼古拉的传说。在16世纪的荷兰，孩子们会把他们的木鞋放在壁炉边，希望里面会装满礼物和糖果。

圣诞老人虽然是西方传说中的人物，但这个人物是有原型的。它的原型其实是基督教的圣人圣尼古拉斯（Saint Nicholas）。12月25日被定为圣诞节，圣诞节的前一天晚上被定义为平安夜。这就好像我们定义大年初一是新年，前一天是年三十一样，两者都非常有意义。

圣尼古拉斯这个人，是一位生活在4世纪的主教，他乐善好施内心慈悲，传闻他饲养着9只不同名字的驯鹿。

他死后被尊为圣徒，是一位身穿红袍、头戴红帽的白胡子老头。每年圣诞节他驾着鹿拉的雪橇从北方而来，由烟囱进入各家，把圣诞礼物装在袜子里挂在孩子们的床头上或火炉前。

传说每到12月24日晚上，圣诞老人会乘驾由9只驯鹿拉的雪橇在天上飞翔，挨家挨户地从烟囱进入屋里，并且悄悄地把礼物放在孩子床头的袜子里，或者放在壁炉旁的圣诞树下。

这是法思圣诞节。

fath是测深、了解，father辅助理解则有先辈的意思。

那FathChristmas有可能是一个叫法思的圣父的诞生节日，或者是圣诞节的前身、了解圣诞的节日。

The old man village Christmas is Santa Claus's main post office, it accepts the children all over the world to Santa's letters

merry所指的快乐要比happy更深入一些。

发现merry来自于古英语词汇“myrige”，意思是“pleasant(令人愉快的)”。早在16世纪的手抄本上，就出现了作为固定习语使用的Merry Christmas了。对于这种约定俗成的说法，就好像中国过年说“恭贺新禧”一样，不说 “快乐新年”，其实是一样的。

从1843年狄更斯的作品《圣诞颂歌》开始，就出现了'Merry Christmas'的固定搭配，而Merry这一词在基督教的教义中指发自内心的喜悦。

圣诞节的起源—纪念耶稣出生

据说耶稣是因着圣灵成孕，由圣母玛利亚所生的。神更派遣使者加伯列在梦中晓谕约瑟，叫他不要因为马利亚未婚怀孕而不要她，反而要与她成亲，把那孩子起名为“耶稣”，意思是要他把百姓从罪恶中救出来。

当马利亚快要临盆的时候，罗马政府下了命令，全部人民到伯利恒务必申报户籍。约瑟和马利亚只好遵命。他们到达伯利恒时，天色已昏，无奈两人未能找到旅馆渡宿，只有一个马棚可以暂住。就在这时，耶稣要出生了。

于是马利亚唯有在马槽上，生下耶稣。后人为纪念耶稣的诞生，便定十二月二十五为圣诞节，年年望弥撒，纪念耶稣的出世。
