有关圣诞节英语资料
圣诞节是西方最重要的节日。“圣诞节 Christmas”原是“基督弥撒 Christmass”的缩写。传说记载,12月25日是耶稣的生日,在这一天,世界各地的天主教会都要举行弥撒纪念耶稣的生日。
而如今,圣诞节已经从一个宗教节日变成一个世界性的大众节日。人们在节日期间互相祝福,期盼欢乐的新年来临。圣诞节使得这个寒冷的冬日增添了一股暖意,也拉开了年底holiday season 的序幕。
但是你知道关于圣诞节的英语表述都有些什么吗?
让我们先来看一下跟圣诞有关的英语单词与短语:
Christmas Eve:平安夜,也就是圣诞节的前一天。每年的12月24日。这跟我们的大年夜有点相似(New Year's Eve)。
Christmas Day:圣诞节当天,每年的12月25日。相当于中国的大年初一。Everybody goes for various parties to celebrate the festival on Christmas day.(在圣诞节那天,大家都去参加各种各样的派对来庆祝节日。)
Boxing Day:圣诞节后的第一个工作日,即每年的12月26日,意即“重拳出击的那一天”。
尤其值得注意的是,在西方,还有一个Christmas season。它是指12月24日至翌年1月6日,我们称之为“圣诞节节期”。也就是经常说的holiday season,指的是一整段日子。
Christmas gift或者Christmas present:这两个词都可以表示圣诞礼物。我们经常会说:Here is a Christmas gift for you. 或者:I have a present for your Christmas Day.即表示要送对方圣诞礼物的意思。
Santa Claus:圣诞老人。他赶着驯鹿,拉着装满礼物的雪橇挨家挨户给每个孩子送礼物的形象已深深地留在人们的记忆中。
Bethlehem:伯利恒。耶路撒冷南方六英里一市镇,传说为耶稣诞生地。
Christmas tree:圣诞树。与之相关的还有Christmas decorations(圣诞装饰物);Christmas wreath或者Christmas garland(圣诞花环);Christmas crafts(圣诞工艺品)。这些美丽的装点都使得圣诞节变得熠熠生辉。
Christmas Waits:报佳音的人。圣诞夜指12月24日晚至25日晨。教会组织一些圣诗班(或由信徒自发地组成)挨门挨户地在门口或窗下唱圣诞颂歌,叫作“报佳音”,意思是再现当年天使向伯利恒郊外的牧羊人报告耶稣降生的喜讯。“报佳音”的人称为Christmas Waits,这项活动往往要进行到天亮,人数越来越多,歌声越来越大,大街小巷满城尽是歌声。
Christmas carol:圣诞颂歌。《平安夜》等圣诞颂歌人们耳熟能详。
Christmas pudding:圣诞布丁。圣诞节吃的一种应节食品。
Christmas stocking:圣诞袜。传说圣诞老人会把礼物放在里面。
Christmas recess:圣诞节暂停营业、上学、工作期间。
