回答:
聖誕節的由來


A long time ago in a town called Nazareth, a young woman had a dream. In the dream, an angel told her that God had chosen her, a virgin, to have his child. His name was to be Jesus. The virgin Mary, however, was to marry a local carpenter Joseph. She told Joseph of the dream, and Joseph understood that this child was to be holy.

很久以前,在一個叫做拿撒勒的小鎮,一個年輕女孩做了個夢,夢裡有一個天使告訴她上帝選擇了她這個聖潔的女孩來懷他的小孩。他的名字叫做耶穌。然而,處女瑪麗當時即將嫁給一位當地的木匠約瑟夫。她告訴約瑟夫她的夢境,約瑟夫知道這個小孩將會是一個聖者。

When Mary was close to birth, the government ordered everyone to return to their hometowns for a census. Mary and Joseph had to go to Bethlehem. It was a long trip, and when they reached Bethlehem, they discovered the inn was full. However, the innkeeper took pity on the couple and told them they could stay in a nearby stable.

當瑪麗即將生產時,政府命令每個人都要回到家鄉做戶口普查。瑪麗和約瑟夫必須到伯利恆去。旅途非常漫長,當他們到達伯利恆的時候,發現小旅店客滿了。不過,旅店的主人很同情這對夫妻,因此讓他們在附近的馬廄裡過夜。

In the stable, there were mangers for the animals to eat from and lots of hay for the animals to eat. Mary gave birth to a son on a bed of hay. They had no crib, so they placed the baby in a manger, and they named him Jesus. A great star appeared over Bethlehem.

馬廄裡有一些給動物吃東西的馬槽,還有很多動物的糧食稻草。瑪麗就在稻草床上生下了一個兒子,他們沒有嬰兒床,於是把嬰兒放到馬槽裡,把他取名為耶穌。伯利恆的上空出現了一顆明亮的星星。

In the fields nearby, an angel appeared to the shepherds. The angel told them, "A savior has been born in the town of Bethlehem. Go there. You will find the baby lying in a manger." The shepherds went to Bethlehem,to the stable where Mary and Joseph were staying, and found the baby lying in the manger. They bowed down before the baby who was to be a savior.

附近的田裡,牧羊人看到了一個天使。天使告訴他們:「伯利恆誕生了一位救世主,到那裡去,你們會看到這個嬰兒躺在馬槽裡。」於是牧羊人到了伯利恆,找到瑪麗和約瑟夫過夜的馬廄,發現馬槽裡躺著一個嬰兒。他們在這個即將成為救世主的嬰兒面前彎腰鞠躬。

Far away in the east, three kings saw the bright star shining over Bethlehem. They knew it was a sign and followed the star. They traveled on camels for many days, always following the bright star. When they finally arrived in Bethlehem, they too found the child in the manger. They gave the child gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The three kings also bowed down in front of the manger, for in that makeshift crib in a stable in a small town was a baby who would change the world.

遙遠的東方,三位國王看到了伯利恆上空明亮的星星,他們知道那是個徵兆,於是跟著星星走。他們坐著駱駝,跟著星星旅行了很多天,最後當他們到達伯利恆時,也發現了馬槽裡的小孩。他們送給這個孩子禮物:金子、乳香及草藥,這三位國王也在馬槽前彎腰鞠躬,因為這個躺在小鎮馬廄的克難嬰兒床裡的嬰兒,即將改變世界。 

耶誕樹的由來

Many legends exist about the origin of the Christmas tree. One legend holds that Martin Luther, a founder of the Protestant faith, was looking up as he walked through the forest one Christmas Eve. He was awed by the millions of stars glimmering through the branches of the evergreen trees. So impressed was he that he cut down a small tree and took it home to his family. Then he put candles on the branches of the tree to recreate the shining stars. 

關於耶誕樹的由來有很多傳說。其中有一個說,新教派的創始人馬丁路德,在某個耶誕夜,走過一片森林的時候,往天上望去,對於閃耀在長青樹枝椏中數以萬計的星星驚嘆不已。因為他印象深刻,所以就砍下了一棵小樹,把它帶回家,然後把蠟燭放在樹枝上代替閃爍的星星

Yet another legend tells of a poor woodsman who long ago met a lost and hungry child on Christmas Eve. Though very poor himself, the woodsman gave the child food and shelter for the night. The woodsman woke the next morning to find a beautiful glittering tree outside his door. The hungry child was really the Christ Child in disguise. He created the tree to reward the good man for his charity.

另一個傳說是,很久以前,有一個貧窮的樵夫,在耶誕夜遇到一個迷了路,又十分饑餓的小男孩。雖然樵夫自己也很窮,但他還是拿了東西給小男孩吃,還留他過夜。第二天早上樵夫醒來,發現門外有一棵非常美麗、閃閃發亮的耶誕樹。饑餓的小男孩其實是聖兒僑裝的,他變出了這棵樹來獎勵這個好樵夫的善心。

Others feel the origin of the Christmas tree may be the "Paradise Play." In medieval times, most people could not read; plays were used to teach the lessons of the bible all over Europe. The Paradise Play, which told the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, was performed every year on December 24th. There was one big problem, however. An apple tree was needed but apple trees do not bear fruit in winter. Instead, an evergreen was used and they hung apples on its branches to make it an apple tree.

其他人則認為耶誕樹的由來可能是「天堂劇」。中古時期,大部份的人都不識字;整個歐洲都是以戲劇的方式來宣揚聖經的教義。每年的十二月二十四日都會上演天堂劇,敘述伊甸園裡亞當和夏娃的故事。不過,有一個很大的問題。戲裡需要用到一棵蘋果樹,但是冬天蘋果樹上沒有蘋果。因此他們在長青樹的枝椏上掛蘋果來代替蘋果樹。

聖誕老公公的由來

Do you know the jolly old man with a white beard, a big belly, and warm red suit? It's Santa Claus, right? Santa Claus has become one of the most beloved of Christmas symbols and traditions. The image of the jolly old man flying in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and leaving toys and gifts for every child is known worldwide. However, this image of Santa Claus has evolved over the years.

你知道那個有白鬍子、一個大大的肚子、穿著暖暖的紅色服裝的開心老人是誰嗎?是聖誕老公公,對吧?聖誕老人已經成為聖誕節的時候,人們最喜愛的象徵及傳統之一了。這個坐著麋鹿拉的雪橇在天上飛,並且把玩具及禮物留給每個小朋友的開心老人形象,早已深植於每個世界人的心中。然而,聖誕老公公的形象可是逐年發展來的喔。

The history of Santa Claus begins with a man called Saint Nicholas, who lived in what is now Turkey. Saint Nicholas was known for his charity and wisdom. Legend holds that he came from a wealthy family and gave all his money to the poor. He also was said to possess magical powers. He died in 340 AD.

聖誕老人的歷史源自於一個名叫聖尼可拉斯的人。他當時住的地方相當於現在的土耳其。聖尼可拉斯當時以善心及智慧而著名。傳奇(故事)中記載他來自一個富有的家庭,把他所有的錢都給了窮人。據說他也擁有神奇的力量。他死於西元前340年。

Late in the 11th century religious soldiers from Italy took the remains of the saint back with them to Italy. Soon the legend of Saint Nicholas spread across Europe. During the 12th century Saint Nicholas Day became a day of gift giving and charity. Germany, France, and Holland celebrated December 6th as a religious holiday and gave gifts to their children and the poor.

十一世紀末,來自義大利的宗教士兵將聖者的遺體帶回義大利。聖尼可拉斯的傳奇故事立即傳遍了全歐洲。十二世紀時,聖尼可拉斯日變成和送禮物及慈善捐助的節日。在德國、法國及荷蘭的人都把十二月六日當作是宗教節日來慶祝,並且把禮物送給小朋友及窮苦人家。

Hundreds of years later, colonists who came to America brought their traditions of Saint Nicholas with them. In particular, the Dutch brought their image of St. Nick wearing a red bishop's costume. However, the image of a jolly old fat man with a sleigh and eight reindeer didn't fully evolve until the 1800's with modern publication.

數百年後,殖民拓荒者帶著聖尼可拉斯的傳統來到美國。尤其是荷蘭人,他們帶來了聖尼可穿著紅色主教服裝的形象。但是呢,直到1800年代(十九世紀),一份新紀元的叢書出版後,才樹立起今日廣傳的聖誕老公公形象:一個開心的胖老人,駕著由八隻麋鹿拉的雪橇忙著跨越天際把禮物分送到世界各地去。

A particularly influential publication was "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" by Clement Moore in 1823. This is the famous poem that begins "It was the night before Christmas…" The poem describes St. Nick as jolly and plump and lists the names of all eight of the reindeer. Then, in 1860, Thomas Nash drew pictures of a plump and kindly Santa Claus for a popular magazine. This is the image that most people around the world now recognize as Santa Claus.

卡樂門摩爾於1823年所寫的"聖尼可拉斯的拜訪"這本書對於聖誕老人的傳說有著舉足輕重的影響力。在這首非常有名的詩書中,一開始就這麼寫:"耶誕節的前一天晚上…"這首詩把聖尼可描述成一個擁有一份八隻麋鹿的名單的快樂、圓圓胖胖老人。之後,在1860年,湯瑪斯奈許為一份流行的雜誌,畫了 一幅和藹親切、圓胖的聖誕老公公的圖。這就是深植於現代人心中聖誕老公公的形象。

From a legendary saint over fifteen hundred years ago, to a jolly fat man flying in a sleigh, the legend of Saint Nicholas continues to evolve. 

從一千五百年前的傳奇聖者,到一個開心的胖老公公,坐著雪橇飛行。屬於聖尼可拉斯的傳奇還是會繼續的流傳下去。 

耶誕襪的由來

Many a child looks forward to Christmas because they know that if they hang a stocking, a kind of sock, on their fireplace on Christmas Eve, Santa Claus will come down the chimney and fill the stocking with toys and sweets. However, many children haven't heard the story of how the tradition of the Christmas stocking began.

很多小孩都很期待耶誕節的來臨,因為他們知道,耶誕夜如果他們在火爐前掛上長襪-一種襪子-耶誕老公公會從煙囪下來,在襪子裡塞滿玩具和糖果。不過,很多小孩都沒有聽過,耶誕襪的傳統是如何開始的故事。

A long time ago, there was a kind nobleman whose wife died and left him to take care of three daughters all by himself. Then, to make matters worse, he lost all of his money on useless inventions.The father became very depressed because he realized that he didn't have enough money for his daughters' dowries. Without dowries, money given to the husbands' families, his poor daughters couldn't get married.

很久以前,有一個善良的貴族,他的太太過世了,留下他要獨自照顧三個女兒。更糟的是,他發明了一些沒有用的東西,把所有的錢都用光了。這位父親變得非常沮喪,因為他知道他沒有足夠的錢給女兒當嫁妝。沒有嫁妝,也就是說沒有錢可以給夫家的話,他可憐的女兒就不能結婚。

One night after the daughters had washed out their clothing, they hung their stockings over the fireplace to dry. Late that night Saint Nicholas, knowing the despair of the father, stopped by the nobleman's house. Looking in the window Saint Nicholas noticed the daughters' stockings. He took three small bags of gold from his pouch and threw them one by one down the chimney. The bags landed in the stockings.

有一天晚上,女兒洗好衣服後,把襪子掛在火爐前烘乾。那天深夜,耶誕老公公知道這位父親的絕望,就來到了這位貴族的家。耶誕老公公從窗戶往屋裡看,他注意到了女兒的襪子。他從袋子裡拿出三小袋的金子,一個一個從煙囪裡丟下去,袋子都掉進了襪子裡。

The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life.

第二天早上,幾個女兒醒來,發現襪子裡有足夠讓他們結婚的金子。這位貴族終於可以看到他的三個女兒成婚,而他自己的一生則既長壽又快樂。
