  雅思听力材料解析之圣诞节的传说,你们知道圣诞节的由来吗?相比各位同学们都非常清楚圣诞节,这个节日是美国最大的一个节日,在我们国内也有很多人热衷于过圣诞节。

  History tells us that the origin of Santa Claus begins in the 4th century with Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra (an area in present day Turkey). One of the legends tells about that he acquired a fortune when his parents died while he was still in his teens. By nature St.Nicholas was a generous and honest man, particularly devoted to children. He also cared deeply for the poor. He brought various gifts, money and other useful items to the houses of the poor. He did this at night, and in secrecy, so that no one knew, as he wanted no glory, he just wanted to help people. He became widely known for his generosity.

  据史料记载,圣诞老人的原型是公元4世纪的圣尼古拉斯,他是米拉(位于今土耳其境内)的主教。有一种传说认为在他十多岁的时候父母双亡,给他留下一大笔财产。圣尼古拉生来就是个慷慨正直的人,尤其喜爱孩子,还很关心穷苦人,给穷人家里送去各种礼物、钱以及其他有用的物品。他一般都是在夜里秘密地做这些事,这样就没人知道,因为他并不想获得什么赞颂,只是想帮助别人。很快,他就因自己的慷慨而广为人知。

  There is one famous legend about Saint Nicholas. The story tells of Nicholas hearing one day of three beautiful sisters who lived in a miserable hut on the edge of Myra. The three sisters were very poor. They could barely earn enough to keep themselves and their old mother from starving to death. When Nicholas heard of their plight, he was very concerned. He decided to do something to help them.

  有一个关于圣尼古拉斯的著名传说,讲的是有一天,尼古拉斯听说在米拉镇边界上一所简陋的小屋里住着美丽的三姐妹。她们非常穷,赚钱很少,几乎难以保证自己和老母亲不被饿死。尼古拉听说了三姐妹的悲惨境况后非常担忧,决定帮助她们。

  One night, when everyone was asleep, Nicholas crept through the streets to the edge of town. Quietly, he tiptoed up to the hut where the three sisters lived. He climbed onto the roof and dropped three bags of gold through the hole in the roof where the smoke from the fire came out. Now it so happened that the three sisters has washed their stockings before they went to bed. The stockings has been hung by the fire to dry. When Nicholas dropped the gold through the smoke hole, each bag of gold fell into a stocking.
