Lesson 6 Christmas 圣誕節(jié)

I'm a big advocate of Chistmas celebrations. It'll still my favorite time of year. Although China doesn't adopted this special holiday, there's still hope. With the advent of China's membership in the WTO, Chinese will be exposed to a number of Western holidays. I guess is that they will adore Christmas.

我是圣誕節(jié)慶祝活動的堅決擁護者，一年中我最喜歡的日子仍是圣誕節(jié)。盡管它還沒有被接納為中國的特別節(jié)日，希望還是有的。隨著中國加入WTO之日的到來，中國人將面臨許多西方節(jié)日。我猜他們會非常喜歡圣誕節(jié)。

My strong affinity for Chritmas comes from my childhood days. In my hometown, we would prepare for Christmas by buying a big Christmas tree. If we feeling a big more adventurous, we would hike up the mountain and find one on our own. Adorning the tree is the next step. We'd use all kinds of adornment to decorate the tree, from pinecones and candy coated angels to colourful Christmas balls and fake icicles. My dad was specially adroit at making small hand-painted ornaments. Since my dad's company was affiliated with a light bulb company, he was also able to bring home the most beautiful and colourful Christmas lights. affirm that Christmas is without doubt the best time of year.

我對圣誕節(jié)的喜愛源于童年時代。在我的家鄉(xiāng)，準備過節(jié)時，我們會買來一顆高大的圣誕樹。如果想來點冒險的，我們會爬上山親自找一顆圣誕樹。下一步是裝飾圣誕樹。我們會用各種各樣的裝飾品來裝飾它，從松果、包著糖果的天使到花花綠綠的圣誕球和假冰柱。我爸爸尤其擅長做些手工上色的小裝飾品。由于爸爸的公司隸屬于一個燈泡廠，他還能將最漂亮、最鮮艷的圣誕燈帶回家。

After decorating the tree, we would make small Gingerbread houses out of bread and candy. These houses were aesthetic but not edible. It was always advisable to keep these appetizing houses out of reach of young children.

裝飾完圣誕樹后，我們就用面包和糖果做些姜汁面包屋。這些小屋子只可用作美學欣賞，不能吃。因此，把這些小屋子放到孩子們可望不可及的地方向來是明智之舉。

There is no adversity on Christmas day. Even the soldiers are adverse to fighting.Everyone is affable. Lover are specially affectionate and they ofter show their affection by giving each other romantic gifts. Children usually receive toys as gifts. But my most memorable gift was not a toy. It was an aquarium, complete with an air pump to aerate the water. Raising all those fish was such an adventure for me.

圣誕節(jié)沒有苦難，即使是士兵也反對打仗，人人都是一團和氣。戀人間更是洋溢著溫情，他們常常來互贈浪漫的禮物來表達愛慕。孩子們收到的禮物通常是玩具。但最讓我難忘的禮物不是玩具，而是一個帶空氣泵、能通氣的魚缸。對我來說，養(yǎng)魚真是一次冒險。

What is my favorite holiday? All of these wonderful thoughts lead me to.

我最喜歡什么節(jié)日?所以這些美好的回憶讓我肯定地回答：毫無疑問，圣誕節(jié)是一年中最美好的日子。
