  【圣诞对话2】

  Michael: Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way.

  Billy: Why are you singing Christmas carols Michael?

  Michael: Because Christmas is coming quickly!

  Billy: Ahhh. I have left all of my gift shopping until the last minute again. The stores will be packed.

  Michael: Christmas is much more than just buying gifts for your friends and family.

  Billy: Yeah I know. Gifts and corny songs are the two main Christmas activities.

  Michael: No Billy! You have it all wrong. Take a seat and I will tell you about the ancient history of Christmas!

  迈克尔:叮叮当,叮叮当,铃儿响叮当。

  比利:你为什么在唱圣诞歌曲,迈克尔?

  迈克尔:因为圣诞节很快就到了!

  比利:啊哈。我又要等到最后一分钟再去购买所有的礼物。商店会很拥挤。

  迈克尔:圣诞节可不光是给朋友和家人买礼物,还有很多别的东西。

  比利:没错,我知道。送礼物和唱老歌是圣诞节的两种主要活动。

  迈克尔:不是的,比利!你全搞错了。坐下来,我来告诉你有关圣诞节的古代史。

  【圣诞对话3】

  Cynthia, an American, and Karina, her Danish friend, are shopping for Christmas presents.

  Karina : Isn't this the perfect gift for Bob?

  Cynthia : Are you crazy? That watch cost you an arm and a leg. Besides, Bob doesn't wear a watch.

  Karina : That's why he's always late! This gift will make him more punctual.1

  Cynthia : Why do you like this particular watch?

  Karina : It reminds me of Christmas in Denmark because it's so shiny.

  Cynthia : What do you mean?

  Karina : Denmark only gets a few hours of sunlight a day during winter.

  Cynthia : That doesn't sound very shiny!

  Karina : No, but we light candles in homes, schools, and churches to create a warm atmosphere.2 At Christmas, the whole country is lit up like a giant Christmas tree!

  Cynthia : I'm sure that watch will brighten3 Bob's heart all winter long.

  Karina : I hope so. In Denmark, we give Christmas gifts to every friend and family member.

  Cynthia : In America, we do, too! But it can get expensive, though. Speaking of which, how could you afford such an expensive watch on a teacher's salary?4

  Karina : I took a part-time job on the weekends to save the money.

  Cynthia : That's so sweet!

  Karina : I've got an idea. Let's walk to Da-an Park and enjoy the sunshine.

  美国人辛西亚和她的丹麦朋友卡丽娜正在选购圣诞礼物。

  卡丽娜:这不正是给鲍伯的最佳礼物吗?

  辛西亚:你有没有搞错?买那只表要花上一大笔钱。更何况,鲍伯是不戴表的。

  卡丽娜:那正是他老爱迟到的原因!这份礼物会让他更守时。

  辛西亚:你为什么喜欢这款手表呢?

  卡丽娜:它令我想起丹麦的圣诞节,因为它看起来好闪亮。

  辛西亚:这话是什么意思?

  卡丽娜:冬天时,丹麦一天只有几个小时的日照。

  辛西亚:听起来并不太明亮嘛!

  卡丽娜:是不太亮,但我们在家里、学校和教堂中都点起烛光,以营造温暖的气氛。在 圣诞节 期间,全国上下灯火通明,就像棵巨大的圣诞树一般!

  辛西亚:我相信那快表会让鲍伯开心一整个冬天。

  卡丽娜:希望如此。在丹麦,我们会送圣诞礼物给每位亲朋好友。

  辛西亚:在美国我们也一样!但买礼物可能得花不少钱。说到这点,光靠当老师的薪水,你怎么买得起这么贵的手表呢?

  卡丽娜:这笔钱是我周末打工存下来的。

  辛西亚:你真是有心!

  卡丽娜:我有个想法,我们走到大安森林公园去享受点阳光吧。

  【圣诞对话4】

  Karina and Cynthia are talking in Da-an Park.

  Karina : So what's Christmas in America like, Cynthia?

  Cynthia : Well, we don't light as many candles as the Danish. But people do string1 lights around their houses.

  Karina : How about the gifts?

  Cynthia : Most families get up early on Christmas morning and open their gifts together. But some families open their gifts on Christmas Eve.

  Karina : What's all this I hear about Christmas stockings2 in America? You don't wear them, do you?

  Cynthia : (laughing) Never! But American children do hang Christmas stockings by the fireplace.3 Then their parents fill the stockings with candy and small toys.

  Karina : Speaking of gifts, what did you get for John, your Taiwanese friend?

  Cynthia : I decided not to buy him anything.

  Karina : What? After all he's done to help you get settled4 in Taiwan? You could at least get him a Christmas present!

  Cynthia : Of course I'm going to give him a present, but it's something I made.

  (Cynthia shows Karina a painting of John.)

  Karina : Cynthia, that's beautiful! Did you have him sit for the painting?

  Cynthia : No, I based it on a photo I took of him at Alishan.

  Karina : That's really wonderful. I'm sure John will be touched that you took the time to make such a delightful5 present.

  卡丽娜和辛西亚在大安森林公园聊天。

  卡丽娜:那么,辛西亚,在美国的圣诞节是什么样子呢?

  辛西亚:嗯,我们不像丹麦人一样点那么多蜡烛,但人们会在房子的四周挂起一串串的灯饰。

  卡丽娜:那圣诞礼物呢?

  辛西亚:大多数人家会在圣诞节清早起床,一起拆开礼物。有些人家则在平安夜打开礼物。

  卡丽娜:我听说美国人会准备圣诞节长袜,是怎么一回事?这些长袜应该不是拿来穿的吧?

  辛西亚:(笑声)当然不是!不过美国的小孩都把圣诞节长袜挂在壁炉旁,然后爸爸妈妈就会在长袜里装满糖果和小玩具。

  卡丽娜:谈到礼物,你买了什么礼物给你的台湾朋友约翰?

  辛西亚:我决定不买任何东西给他。

  卡丽娜:不会吧?他帮你这么多忙,帮助你在台湾安顿下来,你至少可以送个圣诞礼物给他吧!

  辛西亚:我当然会送他礼物啰,但我要送的是我亲手做的东西。

  (辛西亚拿出一幅约翰的画像给卡丽娜看)

  卡丽娜:辛西亚,这幅画真好看!你是请他过来坐着让你边看边画吗?

  辛西亚:不是,我帮他在阿里山拍了一张照片,这幅画是按着那张照片画的。

  卡丽娜:真是别出心裁。你花时间为约翰做了这么赏心悦目的礼物,我相信他一定会很感动。
