Clara: Guess what? I’m going to Chiang Mai in two weeks. Wow, sounds like fun! But I believe that April is the hottest month of the year there. Yes, that’s true. But there’s a Water Festival from April 13th to 15th. I wonder if it’s similar to the water festival of the Dai people in Yunnan Province. Yes, I think so. This is the time of the Thai New Year. People go on the streets to throw

water at each other.

Ben: Cool! But why do they do that?

Clara: Because the new year is a time for cleaning and washing away bad things. Then you’ll

have good luck in the new year.

克拉拉：猜猜看？两周后我打算去清迈。

本： 噢，听起来很有趣！但是我认为四月是那里一年中最热的月份。

克拉拉：是的，的确如此。但在那里从四月十三至十五日是泼水节。

本： 我想知道这个节日与云南省傣族的泼水节是否相似。

克拉拉：是的，我认为是这样。此时正值泰国新年期间。人们上街相互泼水。 本： 好爽哦！但是他们为什么这样做呢？

克拉拉：因为新年是洗尽晦气的时刻，此后将在新的一年中好运连连。

数千年来，中国人一直庆祝中秋节，吃月饼。月饼是中秋之夜满月的形状，寄托着人们对他们深爱与思念的家人的祝福。

There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him a magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Feng Meng,

tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!

关于中秋节，有许多民间传说。不过大多数人认为嫦娥的故事最令人感动。嫦娥是后羿的漂亮妻子。在后羿射下九个太阳后，一个女神送给他仙药作为酬谢。谁喝了这种药便能长生不老，后羿打算与嫦娥一起服用。但是，坏蛋逢蒙试图趁后羿不在家之际偷药。嫦娥拒绝把仙药给他，一饮而尽。她变得非常轻盈，飞上月宫。后羿悲痛不已，每天晚上对着月亮大声呼唤她的名字。一天晚上，他发现月亮又明又圆，以致能够看见他的妻子就在那里。他飞快地在花园里摆出了她最爱吃的水果和点心。他多么希望嫦娥能回来啊！

After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.

此后，崇拜月亮并与家人一起分享月饼开始成为人们的传统。

The Spirit of Christmas

圣诞精神

Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we

probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But

behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the

importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around

us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example

of this.

许多人并不否认，在想到圣诞节时，我们可能会想到礼物、

圣诞树和圣诞老人。但是隐藏在这一切背后的是圣诞节的真

谛：与我们身边的人们分享和奉献爱心与快乐的重要性。《圣

诞颂歌》中的故事也许是这种意义的典范。

A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit

him.

《圣诞颂歌》是查尔斯·狄更斯写的小

著名短篇小说。故事的主人公是一个名

叫斯克鲁奇（Scrooge，守财奴）的老汉，

他从来不笑。他吝啬自私，从不与人为

善。他只关心能否挣到更多的钱，并且

厌恶圣诞节。在一个平安夜，斯克鲁奇

看到了他那死去的合伙人雅克布·马利

的幽灵。马利过去曾经就像斯克鲁奇一

样，因此他在死后受到了惩罚。他告诫

斯克鲁奇，如果不想落得与他同样的下

场，就得改弦更张。他还告诉斯克鲁奇,

将会有三个幽灵来拜访他。

That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!

当天夜晚，三个幽灵拜访了斯克鲁奇。首先，“过去之灵”带他回到了童年时代，让斯克鲁奇回忆起他孩提时代的欢乐时光。第二位是“现在之灵”，带他看了看其他人今年是怎样过圣诞节的。每个人甚至穷人都很幸福。最后一位是“未来之灵”，将他带到了将来。他看到他死了，但是无人在意。斯克鲁奇痛彻心扉，在床上惊醒，发现已经是圣诞节的第二天早上了！

He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas! 他决定改变人生，发誓做个更好的人。他开心地与亲戚们一起庆祝圣诞节，并给有需要的人赠送礼物。他现在无论走到哪里，都用善良和热情待人，传播爱心与欢乐。这才是圣诞节的真谛！
