Once a simple observance in America, Christmas is now a complex mixture of religious services, family visits, gift giving, holiday parties, decorations, and charity. And dont forget Santa Claus.

  过去,在美国过圣诞节非常简单,可是如今,圣诞节却成为混合各种宗教仪式和节日聚会的日子。节日期间,人们走亲访友、互送礼品、聚会庆贺、布置圣诞装饰,并从事慈善活动,当然也少不了请圣诞老人来给孩子们祝福。



  This has become the cliché of an American Christmas - a shopping frenzy that boosts the earnings of stores across the United States, and leaves shoppers exhausted and stressed. But Christmas is more than that.

  圣诞节期间,全美各地的消费者因疯狂购物而累得筋疲力尽,但也因此提高了商店的利润,每年圣诞节,人们似乎都是这么度过的。但是,圣诞节的内容远远不止这些。

  For Americans, Christmas is a sentimental time, with friends and family being the priority. For Tyler Beasley, having his father home in time for Christmas was all he wanted. Tylers, father Marine Sergeant Rodney Beasley, is stationed Iraq. But he did arrive home, and along with Santa Claus, came to Tylers classroom to surprise him. After a two-week stay with his family, Sergeant Beasley returns to Iraq.

  对美国人来说,圣诞节还是一个表达情感的日子,人们最希望的就是和亲朋好友在一起。对泰勒?比斯利来说,他最盼望的是能和爸爸一起过圣诞节。小泰勒的父亲海军中士罗德尼?比斯利驻扎在伊拉克。他不仅回来过圣诞节,还把圣诞老人带到小泰勒的教室里,令他喜出望外。但是,两个星期之后,比斯利中士还要再返伊拉克。

  Every year, U.S. Marines hold an annual Christmas toy drive, where they collect toys and donations for underprivileged children. Volunteers take the children into a makeshift store where they are allowed to pick a few items for themselves. The Toys for Tots program is national campaign that has helped millions of children. Across the United States, people use lights and decorations to mark the Christmas holidays. In one neighborhood in Texas, residents have outfitted their homes with thousands of lights. Some homes have specific themes, like politics or current events.

  美国海军陆战队每年都要举行一年一度的圣诞节玩具捐赠活动,人们把各种玩具和礼品捐给家境贫穷的孩子们。自愿人员还把孩子们带到模拟商店中,让他们挑选自己喜欢的礼物。这个全国性计划帮助了上百万的孩子们。全美各地的人们都在张灯结彩庆祝圣诞节。在得克萨斯州的一个居民区,人们用五彩缤纷的圣诞灯把房子装饰起来。有些家庭的圣诞装饰还带有时事政治主题。

  This homeowner explains why he decorates. Most people are awed by it. I have never seen anything like this. And that makes us feel good. It sort of makes it worth the effort it takes to put it up, he says.

  有位房子的主人解释了他为什么要搞圣诞装饰。他说:“很多人看到我们的圣诞装饰后都惊叹不已,他们说:我从来没有看到这样的装饰,这让我们感到欣慰,我们觉得自己的努力值得的。”

  And for many Americans, an enduring symbol of Christmas is the National Christmas tree on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The President or the First Lady in a nighttime ceremony usually lights the tree. And finally, for many Christians, this candle could be the ultimate gift. In Minnesota, storeowner Kim Foels, is selling candles that claims to have the same scent as Jesus Christ. She says the aroma is very comforting. A devout Christian couple manufactured the candles. They based the candles scent on a biblical verse that says Jesus garments smell like myrrh, aloe and cassia.

  对许多美国人来说,圣诞节的一个永久性象征是华盛顿国家大草坪上的国家圣诞树。在一个晚间庆祝仪式上,通常由总统或第一夫人点燃这棵树上的圣诞灯。对许多基督徒来说,圣诞蜡烛可能是最好的礼物。 在明尼苏达州,一个名叫金?弗尔斯的店主正在出售据他所说的带着耶稣清香之气的蜡烛。她说,这个香气能给人带来安慰。这种蜡烛是由一对虔诚的基督徒夫妇根据圣经的记载做成的。圣经上提到耶稣的衣服上有没药、陈香木和桂皮的香味。

关于圣诞节在火炉边悬挂圣诞袜有一个有趣的传说:圣诞老人把金子放在了三个穷女孩的袜子里,为了给她们当嫁妆……

There was a kindly nobleman whose wife had died of an illness leaving the nobleman and his three daughters in despair. After losing all his money in useless and bad inventions the family had to move into a peasant's cottage, where the daughters did their own cooking, sewing and cleaning.

When it came time for the daughters to marry, the father became even more depressed as his daughters could not marry without dowries, money and property given to the new husband's family.

One night after the daughters had washed out their clothing they hung their stockings over the fireplace to dry. That night Saint Nicholas, knowing the despair of the father, stopped by the nobleman's house. Looking in the window Saint Nicholas saw that the family had gone to bed. He also noticed the daughters stockings. Inspiration struck Saint Nicholas and he took three small bags of gold from his pouch and threw them one by one down the chimney and they landed in the stockings.

The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life.

Children all over the world continue the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings. In some countries children have similar customs, in France the children place their shoes by the fireplace, a tradition dating back to when children wore wooden peasant shoes.

  关于圣诞节在火炉边悬挂圣诞袜也有一个有趣的传说。很久很久以前有一个心地善良的贵族,他的妻子因病去逝,抛下他和他的三个女儿。这个贵族尝试了不少发明,都失败了,但也因此耗尽了钱财,所以他们不得不搬到一家农舍里生活,他的女儿们也只得亲自烧煮、缝纫和打扫。

  一晃几年过去,女儿们陆续到了出嫁的年龄,父亲却变得更加沮丧,因为他没钱给女儿们买嫁妆。

  一天晚上,女儿们洗完衣服后将长统袜挂在壁炉前烘干。圣人Nicholas知道了她们父亲的境况后,就在那天晚上,来到她们的家门前。他从窗口看到一家人都已睡着了,同时也注意到了女孩们的长统袜。随即,他从口袋里掏出三小包黄金从烟囱上一个个投下去,刚好掉在女孩们的长统袜里。

  第二天早上,女儿们醒来发现她们的长统袜里装满了金子,足够供她们买嫁妆了。这个贵族也因此能亲眼看到他的女儿们结婚,从此便过上了幸福快乐的生活。

  后来,世界各地的孩子们都继承了悬挂圣诞袜的传统。有些国家的孩子则有其它类似的风俗,如在法国,孩子们将鞋子放在壁炉旁。
作者: 幽幽草    时间: 2008-1-7 16:50     标题: 圣诞标志物:负荷人类罪恶的十字架

对基督徒来说,十字架象征着信仰与拯救,当耶酥基督为了人类的罪恶被钉死在十字架上,而后又死而复生……

To Christians, the cross symbolizes faith and salvation. Christians were granted the gift of eternal life in Heaven when Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross for the sins of mankind, and arose from the dead.

Because Christ suffered pain and death on the cross, this divine and humbling symbol helps us to be mindful of our beliefs and duties as Christians. Faith in Christ helps us cope with the burden of the crosses we bear.

参考译文

  对基督徒来说,十字架象征着信仰与拯救。当耶酥基督为了人类的罪恶被钉死在十字架上,而后又死而复生,基督徒即被赋予了天堂里的永生。因为基督在十字架上承受了所有的痛苦乃至死亡,这个神圣的、充满羞辱的标志也让我们将基督徒的信念与责任铭记于心。对基督的信仰帮助我们化解自身肩负的十字架的重担。
作者: 幽幽草    时间: 2008-1-7 16:54     标题: 圣诞节的传说-童贞女受孕上帝之子

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus' birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

参考译文(来自互联网)

  12月25日的圣诞节是庆祝基督教创始人耶稣基督生日的日子,是基督教世界最大的、人们最喜爱的节日。

  据基督教徒的圣书《圣经》说,上帝决定让他的独生子耶稣基督投生人间,找个母亲,然后就在人间生活,以便人们能更好地了解上帝、学习热爱上帝和更好地相互热爱。“圣诞节”的意思是“庆祝基督”,庆祝一个年轻的犹太妇女玛丽娅生下耶稣的时刻。

  玛丽娅已和木匠约瑟夫订婚。可是,在他们同居之前,约瑟夫发现玛丽娅已怀孕。因为约瑟夫是个正派的人,又不想把这件事说出去让她丢脸,所以他想悄悄地和她分手。

  他正在考虑这事时,上帝的天使出现在他的梦中,对他说,“不要嘀咕了,把玛丽娅娶回家。她怀的孩子来自圣灵。她将生下个男孩子,你们给孩子起名叫耶稣,因为他将从罪恶中拯救人们。”

  尽管耶稣的确切生日并不清楚,大约是在2000年前,但是日历按着假定日期把时间分为公元前(耶稣基督诞生前)和公元后(A.D. 是拉丁文缩写,意思是“有了我们主--耶稣的年代”)。在公元后的头三百年间,耶稣的生日是在不同的日子庆祝的。最后,在公元354年,教堂的领导人把12月25日定为耶稣基督的生日。
