跟圣誕節(jié)有關(guān)的英語(yǔ)小故事，中英文雙語(yǔ)對(duì)照
for today's christian, the origin of christmas is, and should be, the birth of jesus christ as recorded in the bible. nothing more and nothing less. however, most of what we witness on december 25th each year has absolutely nothing to do with that blessed day, which probably occurred in late summer or early fall about 2,000 years ago. in fact, most of the customs and traditions of christmas actually pre-date the birth of jesus, and many of them are downright deceptive in their meaning and origin. anyway, who cares when christ was born?
如今的圣誕節(jié)，按照圣經(jīng)上的記載，應(yīng)當(dāng)起源于耶穌基督的誕生。這個(gè)解釋不偏不倚，正好合適。然而，我們?cè)诿磕甑?2月25日所經(jīng)歷大多數(shù)事情，和耶穌誕生的那一天沒(méi)有任何聯(lián)系。他的誕生，可能是在約2000年前的某個(gè)夏末或者初秋。實(shí)際上，很多有關(guān)圣誕節(jié)的習(xí)俗和傳統(tǒng)比耶穌誕生出現(xiàn)的更早，其中一些是完全脫離耶穌誕生的意義和起源的。話說(shuō)回來(lái)，誰(shuí)又在乎耶穌是哪天誕生的呢？
