純正地道美語第321期(外教講解):聖誕傳統
A: What are you doing, awake?
B: I can't sleep...
我睡不着……A: But it's almost midnight!
但是現在已經是午夜了！
B: Exactly. I'm too excited for Christmas morning. Also, I thought I heard Santa.
確實是。我想到就快要到聖誕的早晨了，我就很興奮。還有，我以爲我聽到了聖誕老人來了。A: Really? How do you know it was Santa?
真的嗎？你怎麼知道是聖誕老人的？B: Well, I heard that naughty boys and girls get coal in their stockings, so I thought I'd be nice and make Santa cookies. I even left out some milk. I heard someone in the kitchen eating the cookies, so I came downstairs!
嗯，我聽說那些調皮的孩子們在他們的襪子裏有很多煤炭。所以我想如果給聖誕老人準備一些曲奇會比較好。我甚至還留了一些牛奶。我聽到有人在廚房吃餅乾，所以我剛剛下樓看了看！A: Hmm... well I know that Santa won't come down the chimney with you hiding behind the tree, spying on him!
嗯……我知道聖誕老師不會在你躲在樹後面想要偷看的時候從煙囪裏下來。B: Really?
真的嗎？A: Really! Let's go back upstairs and get back to bed. That way, we can let Santa do his job. Then when you wake up, it will be Christmas already!
真的！我們上樓去回到牀上睡覺吧。這樣的話，聖誕老人才能做他的事。然後等你醒來的時候，就已經是聖誕節了。B: O-K...
好吧……A: Hey, honey! Is that you? Don't eat all the cookies—I want some, too!
嘿，寶貝！是你嗎？不要把曲奇都吃了，我也想吃點！
