休閑對(duì)話：圣誕節(jié)的來源

Jessie: Guess what day it is?

猜猜今天什么日子?

Barry: Did I miss your birthday, honey? I believe we have spent it half a month ago.

我沒有錯(cuò)過你的生日吧。我記得我們半個(gè)月前剛過過。

Jessie: Come on. It’s December 1st. I am so excited. It’s time for our Christmas calendar.

快點(diǎn)猜嘛。今天是12月1號(hào)。我好激動(dòng)。該拿出我們的圣誕日歷了。

Barry: You are overacting, sweetie. Relax. It’s just a holiday.

寶貝，你反應(yīng)有點(diǎn)兒過了。放松點(diǎn)兒。只是一個(gè)節(jié)日而已。

Jessie: A holiday? No, it’s a day when we are together with people we love.

一個(gè)節(jié)日?不是，這是一天我們和自己相愛的人在一起。

Barry: Still remember why people celebrate Christmas? You are not even a Christian.

還記得為什么慶祝這個(gè)節(jié)日嗎?你都不是基督教徒。

Jessie: You just don’t want me to be happy, do you? It’s a family tradition. Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. But we nonChristians enjoy the time being with family. What’s wrong with it?

你就是不想我開心，是吧?這是一個(gè)家庭傳統(tǒng)。基督教徒慶?；秸Q生，我們非基督教徒享受和家人在一起的時(shí)光。有問題嗎?

Barry: Sorry, honey. I didn’t mean it. I will do my best to be supportive.

對(duì)不起，寶貝。我不是故意的。我會(huì)全力支持你的。
