"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas…"Have you heard that song? Yup! It's Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.
“祝你圣誕快樂,祝你圣誕快樂……”你聽過這首歌嗎?是的!圣誕節(jié)到了!今年圣誕節(jié),我和我的“寄宿家庭”呆在一起??吹揭粋€典型的美國家庭將如何慶祝一年中最大的西方節(jié)日,這是一次令人驚奇的經(jīng)歷。
Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. That's why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.
圣誕節(jié)和我們的春節(jié)一樣,本身就有意義。圣誕節(jié)是12月25日,是上帝之子耶穌基督的生日。這就是為什么它被稱為圣誕節(jié)。在那一天,基督徒會和他們的家人一起慶祝耶穌的生日。但如今,圣誕節(jié)的宗教意義已越來越不受重視。對許多家庭來說,這只是一個家庭團聚的時刻,也是一個令人興奮的禮物贈送的時刻。
Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynski's house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.
我們學校從12月11日開始放寒假。我住在我朋友斯蒂芬·斯塔普欽斯基的家里——他的家人是我的“寄宿家庭”。雖然離圣誕節(jié)還有十多天,但節(jié)日的氣氛已經(jīng)到處彌漫。圣誕樹已經(jīng)搭好了,每個窗臺上都掛著圣誕燈。我到他們家的第一天,我和斯蒂芬?guī)退顾諝J斯基太太在圣誕樹上布置裝飾品。所有的燈都亮著,樹枝上掛著漂亮的飾物,樹看起來真漂亮。
As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a party's on!
隨著圣誕節(jié)的臨近,整個社區(qū)也都做好了準備。有些人會在家里舉行聚會,邀請所有的鄰居來。所以,每天晚上,如果你出去,你會看到一長串的汽車停在某個房子前面——這里正在舉行聚會!
What's more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windows…everywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santa's hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car. When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.
更重要的是,大家把圣誕裝飾品掛在窗戶上和花園里,真是太棒了。有一天晚上,我們開車出去玩“燈光之旅”。有一條街道以其燈火而聞名,以至于登上了當?shù)貓蠹垺N覀兒貌蝗菀撞耪业侥菞l隱蔽得很好的街道,但結(jié)果證明這是值得的。幾乎每家每戶的門前都燈火通明,樹上、灌木叢上、門上、窗戶上……到處都是,形狀各異,讓人仿佛白天。前面花園里巨大的充氣人像在向我們招手:當然,有圣誕老人,歡快地咯咯笑著走開;還有其他的圣誕節(jié)人物,像魯?shù)婪蛱?mdash;—紅鼻子馴鹿——紅鼻子,閃閃發(fā)光;甚至著名喜劇《辛普森一家》中的角色巴特·辛普森也加入了這個歡樂的派對,戴著圣誕老人的帽子。街道在車里發(fā)出了很多“哦”和“啊”的聲音。當我們離開時,街上有一排車,很多人都在那里看燈。
