只要你高兴，你干什么都无所谓。

That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard Christmas as a special time of year.

The letters were Tolkien’s way of keeping Father Christmas alive for his four children, over a period of more than twenty years.
有些人把圣诞节视为每年的特别时光，对于他们，《圣诞老人的来信》是再适合不过的书了。写这些信的人是英国文坛的一位巨匠 --- 《魔戒》的作者J. R. R.托尔金。 在二十多年的时间里，托尔金以写信这种方式让他的四个孩子相信圣诞老人真的存在。
▲3.why引导的表语从句
That was why I was late for school yesterday. 这就是为什么我昨天上学迟到了。
【辨析】
because,why,that表原因引导表语从句区别
三者均可引导表语从句表原因，区别如下：
上文已交代结果，表语从句表原因时，用because.
He didn't go to school yesterday. That is because he was ill.
他昨天没去上学，那是因为他生病了。
上文已交代原因，表语从句表结果时，用why。
He was ill yesterday. That's why he didn't go to school.
他昨天病了，这就是他没去上学的原因。
在The reason why... is/was that...结构和在what引导的主语从句（表原因）后的表语从句中，均用that。

Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good. The letters did, however, change as Tolkien’s children got older.
这些信里讲述了圣诞老人在北极生活和探险的精彩故事。信中经常出现的角色是北极熊。有一次，它爬上北极（在信中，北极是一根真的杆子）， 结果摔下来砸穿了圣诞老人家的屋顶。在另一封信里，圣诞老人抱怨说，他那些助手们非但没有把玩具包装起来，反而拿着玩具玩起了游戏，他怎么也没法让他们停下来。值得关注的是，信里并没有那些常见的对孩子的警告，比如表现不好就可能得不到礼物之类的话。不过，随着托尔金的孩子们渐渐长大，信的内容确实发生了一些变化：

Letters from Father Christmas tells us that as well as enjoying the adventures of Father Christmas, Polar Bear and other characters at the North Pole, we can all share the true spirit of giving at Christmas time. By expressing love for his children in such a special way, Tolkien may indeed have been the real Father Christmas.
《圣诞老人的来信》告诉我们，在圣诞节，除了欣赏圣诞老人、北极熊和其他一些生活在北极的人物的冒险故事之外，我们还可以共同体会真正的给予精神。托尔金用这样一种特别的方式来表达对儿女的爱，他可以算得上是真正的圣诞老人。

上文已交代原因，表语从句表结果时，用why。

Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good. The letters did, however, change as Tolkien’s children got older.
这些信里讲述了圣诞老人在北极生活和探险的精彩故事。信中经常出现的角色是北极熊。有一次，它爬上北极（在信中，北极是一根真的杆子）， 结果摔下来砸穿了圣诞老人家的屋顶。在另一封信里，圣诞老人抱怨说，他那些助手们非但没有把玩具包装起来，反而拿着玩具玩起了游戏，他怎么也没法让他们停下来。值得关注的是，信里并没有那些常见的对孩子的警告，比如表现不好就可能得不到礼物之类的话。不过，随着托尔金的孩子们渐渐长大，信的内容确实发生了一些变化：

The REAL FATHER CHRISTMAS
Many people still remember the magic of Father Christmas from when they were children. As parents, they try to keep that magic alive for their children for as long as they can.
That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard Christmas as a special time of year. The man who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature --- J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings. The letters were Tolkien‘s way of keeping Father Christmas alive for his four children, over a period of more than twenty years.
Every Christmas, an envelope with a North Pole stamp arrived. It was addressed to Tolkien’s children. Who could it be from The children must have been very excited as they opened it. Inside, they would find a handwritten letter from Father Christmas. The letters were also beautiful illustrated --- each must have taken its true author, Tolkien, a long time to complete.

A regular character in the letters was Polar Bear, who once climbed the North Pole (an actual pole in this case) and fell through the roof of Father Christmas complained about how he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up. Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good.
