跟圣誕節有關的英語小故事,中英文雙語對照
for today's christian, the origin of christmas is, and should be, the birth of jesus christ as recorded in the bible. nothing more and nothing less. however, most of what we witness on december 25th each year has absolutely nothing to do with that blessed day, which probably occurred in late summer or early fall about 2,000 years ago. in fact, most of the customs and traditions of christmas actually pre-date the birth of jesus, and many of them are downright deceptive in their meaning and origin. anyway, who cares when christ was born?
如今的圣誕節,按照圣經上的記載,應當起源于耶穌基督的誕生。這個解釋不偏不倚,正好合適。然而,我們在每年的12月25日所經歷大多數事情,和耶穌誕生的那一天沒有任何聯系。他的誕生,可能是在約2000年前的某個夏末或者初秋。實際上,很多有關圣誕節的習俗和傳統比耶穌誕生出現的更早,其中一些是完全脫離耶穌誕生的意義和起源的。話說回來,誰又在乎耶穌是哪天誕生的呢?
