Linda: Sure!Why not? It sounds like fun.Why are you going to church?
Joan: Lots of people,especially seniors,like to go to church and attend the evening service.But I love singing Xmas carols in church.
Linda: It seems to be so much Xmas history.It's interesting to see how the culture of Xmas has changed over the years.
Joan: I suppose that it will continue to change.But the traditional activities will never change.
Linda: I still believed that Santa Claus will come from North Pole with his reindeer and put my gifts in the stocking ,when I was 10 years old.
Joan: Ha-ha.
平安夜
琳達(dá): 圣誕快樂!
瓊: 圣誕快樂!喂,這么特別的日子,你打算怎么過啊?
琳達(dá): 也沒什么特別打算。和我男朋友一起吃頓飯,然后去逛街吧。你呢?
瓊: 首先,我得為今天的花車游行做準(zhǔn)備。我有一身很漂亮的節(jié)日服裝呢。稍后,我會去教堂。如果你愿意的話,我可以給你一身節(jié)日服裝,這樣你就能加入到游行的隊伍里了。這非常有意思的,你應(yīng)該來。你們要不要來?
琳達(dá): 好的,干嘛不去呢?聽起來蠻有趣的。那你為什么要去教堂呢?
瓊: 很多人尤其是那些長者,都喜歡去教堂參加晚禱。但是我愛唱圣誕頌歌。
琳達(dá): 看起來圣誕節(jié)的歷史很多??吹绞フQ節(jié)文化如何隨著時光的推移而發(fā)生改變很有趣。
瓊: 我覺得它還會繼續(xù)發(fā)生變化。但是傳統(tǒng)的活動不會有任何變化。
琳達(dá): 直到我10歲的時候,還相信圣誕老人會和他的馴鹿從北極來,將我的禮物放到襪子里呢!
瓊: 哈哈。
