圣诞的传统装饰都有哪些?
Since the 19th century, the poinsettia, a native plant from Mexico,has been associated with Christmas. Other popular holiday plantsinclude holly, mistletoe, red amaryllis, and Christmascactus. Along with a Christmas tree, the interior of a home may be decorated with these plants, along with garlands and evergreenfoliage.In Australia, North and South America, and Europe, it is traditional to decorate the outside of houses with lights and sometimes with illuminated sleighs,snowmen, and other Christmas figures. The traditional colors of Christmas are pine green(evergreen), snow white, and heart red。
自19世纪开始,一品红,一种原产于墨西哥的植物就和圣诞节联系起来。其他流行的圣诞装饰植物还包括冬青树、懈寄生、红色宫人草和蟹爪兰。它们和圣诞树、花环、绿叶一起用以装饰房间。在澳洲、南北美和欧洲,还有用灯泡、发光的雪橇、雪人和其他圣诞人物装饰屋子外部的传统。圣诞节最传统的装饰颜色是青色、雪白和大红。
圣诞老人原名是什么?
The most famous and pervasive of these figures in modern celebration worldwide is Santa Claus, a mythical gif bringer,dressed in red, whose origins have disputed sources. Santa Claus is a corruption of the Dutch Sinterklaas, which means simply Saint Nicholas. Nicholas was Bishop of Myra (in modern day Turkey) in the fourth century. Among other saintly attributes, he was noted forthecare of Children, generosity, and the giving of gifts.
全球最知名的圣诞人物恐怕就是圣诞老人了,他老人家带礼物、穿红衫,广受小盆友欢迎。他的英文名SantaClaus是德语Sinterklaas的误传,而Sinterklaas的直译就是“圣塔尼古拉斯”了。尼古拉斯先生是14世纪玛拉国(今土耳其)的主教,他非常关心孩子,慷慨大方、乐施礼物。后成为圣诞老人的原型。
