圣誕老人的由來（中英文對照)
2013年圣誕節就要來了。你圣誕老人的由來嗎?你知道圣誕節的'由來嗎?今天就為大家介紹圣誕老人的由來英文
美國人關于圣誕老人的概念源于圣-尼古拉斯，他生于公元280年的小亞細亞。眾所周知，他是個和藹、慈善的人;確實，由于他的慷慨寬大而成為一位圣徒。
The concept of the American Santa Claus originated with St. Nicholas, who was born in Asia Minor in 280 A.D. He was known as a kind, benevolent man; indeed made a saint because of his generosity.
為了紀念圣-尼古拉斯，按照歐洲傳統，12月6日就是交換圣誕禮物的日子，也標志著圣誕假期開始。
In honor of St. Nicholas, December 6 became the traditional day in Europe for the exchange of Christmas gifts and the beginning of the holiday season.
荷蘭移民把他們關于贈送禮物的圣-尼古拉斯的形式帶到了美國，他們的發音是“Sinter Klass”。美國人不習慣于荷蘭發音，把他改為“Santa Claus”，這就是廣受孩子們喜愛的、圣誕節標志性的圣誕老人。
Dutch immigrants to the United States brought with them their version of the gift-giving St. Nicholas, known as Sinter Klass. Americans, unaccustomed to the Dutch pronunciation, turned this into Santa Claus, who is beloved as a symbol of Christmas by children of all ages.
