圣诞节的英文介绍
圣诞节中英文介绍:
“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩写。The name Christmas is short for "Christ’s Mass".圣诞节是个基督教节日,庆祝耶稣基督诞生。Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ.英文圣诞一词源于古英语,意思是基督的弥撒,或基督的节日。The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass or festival of Christ.至于频繁使用的圣诞节的简写形式“ Xmas ”,学者们认为也许是始于 13 世纪。Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas - Xmas - may have come into use in the 13th century.在希腊语里,“ X ”是“基督”的首字母,同时“ X ”也象征耶稣受难的十字架。In Greek, X is the first letter of Christ's name, and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified
公元 4 世纪,罗马天主教会将耶稣的诞辰定在 12 月 25 日。In the 4th century the Roman Catholic Church chose December 25 as the day for the Feast of the Nativity圣诞节便是于十二月二十五日纪念耶苏的诞生,And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year.但真实的诞生日就没有人知道了。But nobody know the actual birthday of Jesus.教会将 12 月 25 日定为基督教节日是为了给当时异教的冬至庆祝活动注入基督教的含义。The church chose December 25 for a Christian holy day in the hope of giving Christian meaning to existing pagan celebrations of the winter solstice。结果,很多异教习俗逐渐融入圣诞节的庆祝活动。As a result, many pagan customs gradually became part of the Christmas celebration.
到了 12 世纪,圣诞节已成为欧洲最重要的宗教节日。By the 12th century, Christmas had become the most important religious festival in Europe. 19 世纪,两个圣诞节习俗,即装饰圣诞树和向亲友赠送圣诞卡,变得流行起来。In the 19th century, two Christmas customs became popular - decorating Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards to relatives and friends.许多著名的圣诞颂歌也是在这一时期创作的。Many well-known Christmas carols were composed during this period.
对于大多数过圣诞节的人来说,这个节日是家庭、朋友聚会的日子,享用美酒佳肴的日子,互赠礼物的日子。For most people who celebrate Christmas, the holiday season is an occasion for gatherings of family and friends, feasting, and giving gifts.圣诞节的庆祝活动对许多工商企业也变得日益重要了。The celebration of Christmas became increasingly important to many kinds of businesses.
圣诞节的重要传统之一是接受圣诞老人赠送的礼物。One of the most important Christmas traditions is receiving gifts from Santa Claus.许多小孩子相信自己在圣诞节收到的礼物来自圣诞老人。圣诞老人是个快活的胖老头儿,长着白胡子,身穿红袍,头戴红帽。据说圣诞老人从北极附近的某地出发,驾着驯鹿拉的雪橇从空中飞到各家,从烟囱进入屋内,留下礼物。Many young children believe that the presents they receive at Christmas are given by Santa Claus, who is a jolly, white-bearded fat man in a red suit and red hat. According to the story, Santa Claus travels through the air from somewhere near the North Pole in a sled drawn by reindeer (驯鹿) and comes down the chimney to leave the presents.现在,许多国家,包括美国、加拿大、英国 和澳大利亚,都有圣诞老人把节日礼物送给孩子们。Today, Santa Claus brings presents to children in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia.许多商店雇人装扮成圣诞老人,倾听孩子们的愿望。
Many department stores hire people to wear a Santa Claus costume and listen to children's requests.在英国,圣诞老人也叫“ Father Christmas ”。 In Great Britain Santa Claus is also called Father Christmas.圣诞节前几周,孩子们就开始写信给圣诞老人,告诉他自己想要什么礼物。During the weeks before Christmas, children write letters to Father Christmas and tell him what presents they would like to receive.然后他们把信扔进壁炉的火里。They then throw these letters into the fire.他们相信,如果上升的气流把灰烬顺烟囱带了上去,他们的愿望便会得到满足。Children believe that if a draft draws the letter up through the chimney, their wishes will be fulfilled.
在美国,圣诞节宴席上的传统食物有填馅的火鸡、土豆泥、越橘酱等。A traditional Christmas dinner in America includes stuffed turkey (火鸡) , mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce (越橘酱) , and a variety of other dishes.烤火鸡不但在美国,在加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰也是圣诞宴席上最普遍的主菜。Roast turkey is the most popular main course not only in the United States, but also in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.也有的人家不吃火鸡,而吃火腿或烤鹅。Some families have ham or roast goose instead of turkey.人们最喜欢的饭后甜点包括甜馅饼或南瓜馅饼、李子布丁和水果蛋糕。Favorite desserts include mince pie or pumpkin pie, plum pudding and fruitcake.蛋奶酒是许多家庭喜欢的饮料。Eggnog is a popular Christmas beverage (饮料) in many homes.在英国,圣诞宴在中午举行,传统食品有烤火鸡或烤鹅、圣诞布丁、甜馅饼和葡萄酒。In Britain, Christmas dinner is eaten at noon, and the dinner usually includes roast turkey or goose, Christmas pudding with mince pies, and accompanied by wine.
Do you know? Origin of Chdstmas___圣诞由来
The name Christmas is short for“Christ’s Mass”.A Mass is a kind of Church service.Christmas is a religious festivaI.It is the day we celebrate as the birthday of Jesus.
There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the world.But many of the festivities of Christmas do not have anything to do with religion.Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the Christmas In the world.
The birth of Jesus had a story:In Nazareth,a city of Galilee.The vIrgin’s name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph.Before they came together,she was found with
child of the Holy Spirit.Joseph,her husband was minded to put her away secretly.While he thought about these things,Gabriel,an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
dream and told hIm did not be afraid to take Mary as wife.And Mary,will bring forth a Son,and he shall call his name,Jesus,for he will save his people from their sins.
Before Jesus births.Joseph and Mary came to Quintus was governing Syria.So all went to be registered,everyone to his own city.Joseph also went up out of
Galilee.out of the city of Nazareth.into Judea,to the city of David.which iS called Bethlehem,because he was of the house and of the lineage of David,to be registered with Mary。his betrothed wife,who was with child.So it was that while they were there.the days were completed for her to be delivered.And she brought forth her firstborn Son.and wrapped him in swaddling cloths.and laid him in a
manger.because there was no room for them jn the jnn.And that.Christmas IS the feast of the nativity of Jesus.is on 25th,December every year.But nobody know the acluaI birthday of Jesus.And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1 846 and the concept of a joily Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.
“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩写。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。耶诞节是一个宗节我们把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝,因而又名耶诞节。这一天,世界所有的基督教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式。但是有很多圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼物,寄圣个诞卡,这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。
圣诞节是基督教世界最大的节日。4世纪初,1月6日是罗马帝国东部各教会纪念耶稣降生和受洗的双重节日、称为“主显节”Epiphany,亦称“显现节”即上帝通过耶稣向世人显示自己。当时只有耶路撒冷的教会例外,那里只纪念耶稣的诞生而不纪念耶稣的受洗。后来历史学家们在罗马基督徒习用的日历中发现公元354年12月25日页内记录着:“基督降生在犹大的伯利恒。”经过研究,一般认为12月25日伴为圣诞节可能开始于公元336年的罗马教会)约在公元375年传到小亚细亚的安提阿,公元430年传到埃及的亚历山大里亚,耶路撒冷的教会接受得最晚,而亚美尼亚的教会则仍然坚持1月6日主显节是耶稣的诞
辰。
12月25日原来是波斯太阳神(即光明之神)密特拉(Mithra)的诞辰,是一个异教徒节日,同时太阳神也是罗马国教众神之一。这一天又是罗马历书的冬至节,崇拜太阳神的异教徒
都把这一天当作春天的希望,万物复苏的开始。可能由于这个原因,罗马教会才选择这一天作为圣诞节。这是教会初期力图把异教徒的风俗习惯基督教化的措施之一。
后来,虽然大多数教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节,但又固各地教会使用的历书不同,具体日期不能统一,于是就把12月24日到第二年的1月6日定为圣诞节节期(Christmas Tide),各地教会可以根据当地具体情况在这段节期之内庆祝圣诞节。自从12月25日被大多数教会公认为圣诞节后,原来1月6日的主显节就只纪念耶稣受洗了,但天主教会又把1月6日定为“三王来朝节”,以纪念耶稣生时东方三王(即三位博士)来朝拜的故事。随着基督教的广泛传播,圣诞节已成为各教派基督徒,甚至广大非基督徒群众的一个重要节日。在欧美许多国家里,人们非常重视这个节日,把它和新年连在一起,而庆祝活动之热闹与隆
重大大超过了新年,成为一个全民的节日。12月25日的主要纪念活动都与耶稣降生的传说有关。
Christmas Day is celebrated on December 25th of each year. It is the day Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The word "Christmas" means "Christ's Mass" - derived from the English term "Christes masse". There are many different customs and traditions around the world. American customs come from many places. Santa Claus has a Dutch origin. He was developed from St. Nicholas who was a real person. St. Nicholas, was the patron saint of school boys. He brought gifts to the children. The idea that Santa Claus comes down the chimney originated in Norway, where children hang Christmas stockings on the fireplace mantel. Christmas trees have pagan origins. When pagans became Christian, they used evergreens (a sacred tree) for the holiday by decorating them with nuts and candles. They sang Christmas carols as they danced around the Christmas tree.
Christmas colors are red and green. Today, traditional Christmas activities include caroling, making and giving gifts, sending cards to family and friends, and enjoying festive dinners and parties. Below are symbols of Christmas and their significance.
The Feast of Christmas
It is not easy to pin-point the origins of the Christmas feast, today the more important feast of the Christmas season in most western Christian churches. One can only say for certain that the birth of Jesus Christ was being celebrated in Rome by the year 336 A.D.; afterwards the feast was celebrated in other Christian churches throughout the world.
Why it was celebrated on December 25th is another question. No date for the birth of Jesus can be found in the New Testament, which is concerned more with the question "Who is Jesus?" than the date of his birth. Early Christian speculation about his birth date was influenced by the symbolism of the changing seasons, then popular in religious thought, which paid careful attention to the equinoxes and solstices of the sun. Christian scholars speculated that Jesus was conceived at the spring equinox (March 25th) and therefore was born on December 25th, the date of the winter solstice.
In many of the Christian churches, March 25th is still the Feast of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was to be the mother of Jesus.
Possible impluse for the feast of Christmas may have came too from the establishment of the pagan feast of the "Unconquered Sun-God" by the Emperor Aurelian in 274 A.D. to be celebrated on December 25, the day of the winter solstice in Rome and throughout the empire. In response, Christians could celebrate the feast of the "Sun of righteousness" (Malachi 4,2), Jesus Christ, who called himself " the light of the world."
Christmas, also referred to as Christmas Day or Christmastide, is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that marks and honors the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.[2][3] The birth of Jesus, which is the basis for the anno Domini system of dating, is thought to have occurred between 7 and 2 BC.[4] December 25 is not thought to be Jesus' actual date of birth, and the date may have been chosen to correspond with either a Roman festival or with the winter solstice.[5]
Modern customs of the holiday include gift-giving, church celebrations, and the display of various decorations—including the Christmas tree, lights, mistletoe, nativity scenes and holly. Santa Claus (also referred to as Father Christmas, although the two figures have different origins) is a popular mythological figure often associated with bringing gifts at Christmas. Santa is generally believed to be the result of a syncretization between St. Nicholas of Myra and elements from pagan Nordic and Christian mythology, and his modern appearance is believed to have originated in 19th century media.
Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. The holiday is widely celebrated around the world, including in the United States, where it is celebrated by 96% of the population.[6] Because gift-giving and several other aspects of the holiday involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, Christmas has become a major event for many retailers.
