聖誕節是了解西方文化一個很好的方式
下面是一首好聽的聖誕歌，可以去youtube找來聽喔~
附上我不專業的翻譯
The Night Before Christmas Song
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In the hope that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
這是個在耶誕節前的夜晚，在所有的房子裡
所有的生物，即使是一隻老鼠，都很平靜
所有的長筒襪都被小心地掛在煙囪旁
希望聖誕老人不久就會到來
Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
A little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.
之後，在我好奇的雙眼中的是
一個微型雪橇和八隻小馴鹿，
一個小的老司機，那麼活潑又迅速
在此時我知道，那一定就是聖誕老人
And more rapid than eagles his reindeer all came
As he shouted, "On Dasher!" and each reindeer's name.
So up to the housetop the reindeer soon flew
With the sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas, too.
比他的馴鹿更快速的老鷹也來了
當他大喊"上雪橇"和每一馴鹿的名字後
上到屋頂的馴鹿很快地飛了過來
載著滿是玩具的雪橇和聖誕老人
Down the chimney he came with a leap and a bound;
He was dressed all in fur, and his belly was round
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
他跳躍著從煙囪進來;
他全身穿著皮毛，他的肚子是圓的
他一句話都沒說，直接開始他的工作，
塞滿所有長筒襪，然後轉身。
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
Then giving a nod up the chimney he rose.
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
他把手指放在鼻子旁
跟煙囪點了點頭，又上升了
但我聽到他在將離開我視線時大喊：
祝所有 有一個美好的夜晚，聖誕快樂!
