关于圣诞老人的英语故事篇一

Daisy and her thirteen-year-old sister, Mia, had been fighting a great deal during the last year. This often can happen when you combine a strong-willed two-year-old, who is sure she is always right, with a young adolescent.

黛西和她13岁的姐姐米雅，经常不是吵架就是打架。把一个两岁大的倔丫头和13岁的姐姐争对错，吵架斗嘴动手不会是什么新鲜事。

Daisy's parents, trying to take advantage of her newfound interest in Santa Claus, reminded the two-year-old that Santa was watching and he was unhappy when he saw children argue and fight. This had little impact on little Mia who really didn't understand.

黛西最近对圣诞老人相当感兴趣，黛西的父母便利用这点，经常提醒黛西：“圣诞老人正看着你们呢，他看着小孩子大家会非常的不高兴的。”这对稀里糊涂的米雅稍稍有点用。

'I'll just have to tell Santa about your misbehaviour,' the mother said as she picked up the phone and dialed. Mia's eyes grew big as her mother asked, 'Mrs. Claus?' [it was really Daisy and Mia's aunt as Santa's real line was busy] if she could put Santa on the line.

黛西的妈妈说：“我要把你们的坏行为告诉圣诞老人”，于是若有其事的拿起电话，还拨了号码。当妈妈问“是圣诞老人吗?”的时候，米雅眼睛睁得大大的，心里寻思着难道真的打得通圣诞老人的电话?(电话那边其实是米雅的阿姨，圣诞老人才没这闲工夫管这些家务事呢)

Mia's mouth dropped even further open her mother described to Santa [Mia's uncle] how the two-year-old was acting. When her mother told Mia that Santa wanted to talk to her, she reluctantly took the phone.

当她妈妈开始跟圣诞老人(实际是米雅的叔叔)告状的时候，控诉她们家小淘气的恶行得时候，米雅的下巴都快要掉下来了。米雅的妈妈还让米雅接电话，说圣诞老人有话要跟她说，米雅很不情愿的接起电话

Santa, speaking in a deep voice, explained to Mia how there would be no presents Christmas morning to children who fought with their sisters. He would be watching, and he expected things to be better from now on.

圣诞老人用低沉的声音跟米雅说：“跟自己姐妹动手的孩子可收不到圣诞礼物，表现好了再说”。

Mia, now even more wide eyed, solemnly nodded to each of Santa's remarks and silently hung the phone up when he was done. After a short while, the sister's mother [trying hard not to laugh at being so clever] asked Mia, 'What did Santa say to you, darling?'

圣诞老人每说一点，米雅都瞪着大眼睛郑重的点了点头，然后挂了电话。过了一小会儿，妈妈为自己的高智商差点忍不住偷笑，最后还是淡定的问米雅：“亲爱的，圣诞老人跟你说了什么呀?”

In almost a whisper, Mia, sadly but matter-of-factly stated, 'Mummy, Santa said he won't be bringing any toys to Daisy this year.'

米雅用低不可闻的声音有点伤心还是实话实说了：“妈妈，圣诞老人说他今年不会给黛西送圣诞礼物。”

关于圣诞老人的英语故事篇二

Chrismas Father was the descendant of a deity called Odin. It's also said that Chrismas Father comes from San Nichola, so he is also called St.Nicholas. He was the bishop of Asia Minor city of Rafah and he was called a man of God after his death. He is an old man in red clothes and he wears a red hat.He has white mustache. He comes from the north on a blowmobile every Chrismas Day. He went into people's houses by the track and he put the presents into children's socks. So in western countries,parents put the gifts to their kids in kids' socks and put them on the head of the bed on Chrismas Eve. On the second day, the first thing after kids wake up is to find the presents from Chrismas Fathers.

圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。 也传说称圣诞老人由圣•尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称St.Nicholas。据说他原是小亚细亚每拉城的主教，名叫圣尼古拉，死后被尊为圣徒，是一位身穿红袍、头戴红帽的白胡子老头。每年圣诞节他驾着鹿拉的雪橇从北方而来，由烟囱进入各家，把圣诞礼物装在袜子里挂在孩子们的床头上或火炉前。所以，西方人过圣诞节时，父母把给孩子的圣诞礼物装在袜子里，圣诞夜时挂在孩子们的床头上。第二天，孩子们醒来后的第一件事就是在床头上寻找圣诞老人送来的礼物.

关于圣诞老人的英语故事篇三

this time of year, many westerners, perhaps americans more so, are familiar with the popular tune in many a store, "here comes santa claus, right down santa claus lane…" santa visits children all over the world on christmas eve, and more recently, has also added some chinese children to his list. but where did he come from anyway?

many western children grow up with the mystical notion of the jolly, old, bearded, fat man who defies physics and plunges down the chimney with a sack full of toys, eats cookies left by the tree and merrily leaves presents.

chinese people are now familiar with santa claus faces and christmas trees in restaurants and huge, 'twinkly' and impressive christmas trees in the plazas by shanghai's jingan temple or in front of beijing's famous workers' stadium, but the actual history behind santa claus is one that remains relatively unknown here in china and admittedly to many westerners as well.

in the west, santa claus is more than just a symbol for many kids. millions of western children grow up with the idea that there is a man who watches over them the entire year, noting every mischievous deed or unruly tantrum and could at any moment cross their scribbled name off his famous list.

every child knows severity of this seemingly menial act because santa's list decides the fate of their stocking content: presents for good behavior, a lump of coal for bad.

in order to assure good rapport with santa claus, children take the time to write letters to santa, some speculate that hundreds of thousands of letters are received every year from 150 countries, to ask for gifts or their hopes.

on the actual evening of santa's arrival, traditionally, many offer milk and cookies as a possible incentive for santa to be more gracious.

so where did this idea of a jolly old fat man bringing toys down the chimney originate and how do you explain him to someone unfamiliar?

the idea for the man called kris kringle from the german christkindl, father christmas, saint nick, or just plain santa claus may be a bit difficult to explain to children in china, where chimneys are hardly common and the idea of a fat, white and hairy man dressed in red who flies through the sky in a reindeer sled may seem a bit odd.

the actual history of santa claus is truly dizzying and encircles so many cultures and regional folklore and fables that have developed over centuries, beginning in europe and flourishing into the rosy-cheeked, fat man who comes down the chimney.

what some people don't realize is that the idea of santa claus in america evolved from the european tradition a bit and branched in its own direction.

the concept of santa claus as some think of him today is a far cry from how he started out. conflicting histories originate with the idea either of a robed, secret gift giver named saint nicholas or the eastern roman empire or greek persona named basil of caesarea. both were credited as altruistic men who cared for the poor and underprivileged with an unmatched generosity.

saint nicholas was a real man who lived during in the 2nd century ad in what is now present day turkey. he was a wealthy man who was known for his benevolence and later made a saint.

most famously, conflicting stories of his generosity cycle around a tale of three italian daughters.

one story goes that a poor man did not have enough money for his daughters' wedding day. the three girls hung up their stockings by the fireplace to dry, and saint nicholas deposited golden coins inside the daughters' stocking which they had left drying by the fireplace.

another story suggests that the coins were either thrown through the window or down the chimney for the girls' dowries and in turn, saved them from slavery.

every saint is honored on a day in the calendar, and in holland, saint nicholas's, or sint nikolaas that eventually shortened to "sinterklaas," has his specially remembered day on december 5.

he is particularly associated with children and gift giving and wears a long, red cape and a bishop's cap. germanic folklore combined saint nicholas with the norse god odin, giving him the characteristic long white beard.

in england, father christmas or sir christmas was a man characterized by his christmas cheer and first appeared in pre-renaissance era carols, but unlike saint nicholas, he was not associated with gift giving.

early writings at the beginning of the 16th century describe father christmas, also sporting a long beard, with long stockings with a green fur-lined coat. he was believed to live in the ice and snow in the lapland province of finland.

however, it was the dutch idea of sinterklaas that was brought to america in the 1700s that many attribute with the image of santa claus today.

in america, beginning in the 1700s, the dutch and british colonials' combined versions of sinterklaas and father christmas created santa claus. over the years, through poetry and literature, santa gained a considerable amount of weight as well as his famous reindeer and an ability to fly.

the famous poem, "night before christmas" by clement clarke moore, as well as stories by other authors like l. frank baum and thomas nast concreted an image of a santa with reindeer, elves and a wife at the north pole.

during the year, the tale specifies that santa stays at his workshop with his little elves making toys to deliver on christmas eve to all the good children of the world.

needless to say, some hint that it was actually coca cola who had the last say in terms of creating the modern santa. red and white are coca cola's famous trademark colors so it may have been through their advertising during the 1930s that finally solidified santa's garb.

as for santa's behavior, the omniscient santa claus who knows who's "naughty or nice" and punishes misbehavers is actually centuries old, and rooted in the old and oddly morbid dutch myth of sinterklaas's little helper who comes down the chimney and takes especially wretched children, puts them in sacks and takes them away.

santa's famous list of names he can add or cross off comes either with the reward of presents or the less drastic threat of a lump of coal in kids' stockings. this habit is also derived from the dutch sinterklaas's helpers who later became what people today call santa's little elves.
