I.语言点精讲
1. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us.
这是一个倒装句。主语是the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us,谓语是lies。介词短语behind all these things置于句首引起句子倒装,是为了保持句子平衡,避免头重脚轻。
lie behind 背后存在; 是 ... 的原因
I wonder what lies behind his decision to leave.
我不知道他决定离开的原因是什么。
Two things lie behind Latin America's renaissance.
两个原因导致了拉丁美洲的复兴。

If you feel unwell, go and lie down.如果你感到不舒服,就去躺下。
The novel is lying on the table.小说平放在桌子上。
The village lies at the foot of a hill.这村庄坐落在一个小山脚下。
辨析:lay, lie
lie的过去式与lay的现在式同形, 故极易混淆。lay是及物动词, 意为“把…置于”, 而lie是不及物动词, 意为“躺着, 平放, 位于”。前者表动作, 后者表状态。如:
He laid his dictionary on the shelf.他把词典放在书架上。

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms(节气). The Winter Solstice is the 22nd solar term of the year. It usually falls on December 21st, 22nd or 23rd.
On the Winter Solstice, the northern hemisphere(半球) experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year. From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. It also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year.
There was a saying in ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as important as the Spring Festival.” The Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty(202 BC-220 AD). On this day, both officials and common people would have a rest.
Here are some foods people enjoy on the Winter Solstice.
Eating dumplings and tangyuan
During the Winter Solstice in North China, people like eating dumplings. In southern China and Taiwan, people will eat tangyuan.

According to an old story, during the midwinter feast(冬至宴会) 2,500 years ago, the King of Wu was disgusted with all kinds of costly(昂贵的) foods and wanted to eat something different. Then, the beauty Xishi came into the kitchen to make “wontons”. The king ate a lot and liked the food very much. To remember Xishi, the people of Suzhou made wontons to celebrate the festival.
Having mutton soup
