A Christmas Carol
Many would agree that when we think of Christmas,we probably think of gifts,Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas:the importance of sharing and giv-ing love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.
A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself. He doesn't treat others nicely.He just cares about whether he can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve,Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley,his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge,so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if hedoesn't want to end up like him.He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.
That night,three ghosts visit Scrooge. First,the Ghost of Christmas Past takes
him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a
child.Then the second spirit,the Ghost of Christmas Present,takes him to
see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy,even poor
people. The last one,the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come,takes him to the
future.Scrooge sees that he is dead,but nobody cares. He is so scared that
he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning-Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily
celebrates Christmas with his relatives.He also gives gifts to people in need.
He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth,spreading love and joy everywhere
he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas !

圣诞欢乐歌
许多人认为,当我们想到圣诞节的时候,我们几乎肯定会想到礼物、圣诞树和圣诞老人。但是圣诞节的真正意义存在于所有这些事物的背后,也就是分享以及给予我们周围的人爱和喜悦的重要性。《圣诞欢歌》中的故事也许就是关于它最好的例子。
《圣诞欢乐歌》是由查尔斯·狄更斯创作的一篇有名的短篇小说。它讲的是一个名叫斯克鲁奇的老人,他从不大笑,也不微笑。他十分吝啬,只想着自己。他对待其他人也不友善。他只在乎他是否可以赚更多的钱,他讨厌圣诞节。一次圣诞节前夕,斯克鲁齐看到了他已故的生意合伙人雅各布·马利的鬼魂。马利过去就像斯克鲁奇一样,所以他死后受到了惩罚。他告诫斯克鲁奇,如果他不想最终像他这样,就得改变他的方式。他还告诉斯克鲁奇准备好等待三个幽灵的造访。
那晚,三个幽灵拜访了斯克鲁奇。首先,过去之灵把他带回到他的孩提时代,使斯克鲁奇想起了他作为一个孩子时比较快乐的时期。接着第二个幽灵,现在之灵,带他去看别人正在如何过今年的圣诞节。每个人,甚至连穷人都很开心。最后一个幽灵,未来之灵,把他带去了未来。斯克鲁奇看到自己死了,但是没有人在意。他吓得在床上醒来,发现只是第二天早上-圣诞节!
他决定改变他的生活,并承诺要做一个更好的人。他快乐地和他的亲戚们庆祝圣诞节。他还送礼物给需要的人。他现在善良、热情地对待每一个人,把爱与喜悦传播至他去的每一个地方。那就是真正的圣诞精神!

重要句子翻译分析:
1 Many would agree that when we think of Christmas,we propany think of gifts,Christmas trees and Santa Claus.许多人认为,当我们想到圣诞节的时候,我们几乎肯定会想到礼物、圣诞树和圣诞老人。
知识点:agree 在该句中表示“同意;赞成;意见一致”,此时其后所接的是that从句。一般情况下,agree接that从句时,that可以省略,但在该句中,that引导的宾语从句中又含有状语从句,此时that一般不省略。
We agreed (that) the proposal was a good one.我们一致认为这个建议不错。We agree that you should put on this dress if you go to the party.我们一致认为如果你要去参加这次聚会你应该穿这条连衣裙。
知识延伸: agree可以与很多介词连用,要注意不同介词后接的宾语。agree on 表示“商定······,在······方面达成一致”,此时on后接要确定的事情;agree to表示“同意,答应”,to后接建议或计划;agree with接人时表示“同意某人的意见或想法”,接物时表示“赞成,同意(某个决定、行为或建议)”。
They managed to agree on a date for the wedding.他们总算商定了婚期。
Do you think he'll agree to their proposal?你认为他会同意他们的建议吗?If she felt he was right,she would agree with him.如果她感觉他是对的,她会同意他的看法。

2 But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas:the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us.但是圣诞节的真正意义存在于所有这些事物的背后,也就是分享以及给予我们周围的人爱和喜悦的重要性.
知识点: 该句是以介词短语 behind all these things 开头,且主语 the true meaning of Christmas 是一个名词短语,此时要将谓语动词lie提至主语之前,构成完全倒装。该句的正常语序为:But the true meaning of Christmas lies behind all these things...此外,在以here,there,in,out,up,down,away等表示方位的介词(短语)或副词(短语)开头的句子中,主语是名词(短语),谓语动词是be,come,go,lie,
run等词时,谓语动词要全部置于主语之前,构成全部倒装。
Behind the door was a basketball.门后有一个篮球。
Down came the rain and up went the umbrellas.下雨了,伞都撑起来了。
重点提示:上述倒装结构中,句子的主语必须是名词,若主语是人称代词,则主语和谓语不倒装。
Here he comes.他来了。 Away he went.他走了。
3 He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn't want to end up like him.他告诫斯克鲁奇,如果他不想最终像他这样,就得改变他的方式。
·知识点:warn sb. (not) to do sth.是一个固定结构,意为“警告/告诫/提醒某人(不要)做某事”,其中,warn作及物动词,意为“警告;告诫;提醒”。

4 This holiday is always on a Sunday b etween March 22nd and
April 25th.这个节日总是在3月22日与4月25日之间的一个星期日。
知识点: between...and...是一个介词词组,意为“在······和······之间”,在此表示在两段时间之间,此外,还可用于表示在两个人或两个地点等之间,常用于连接名词或代词。

5 Not only do people spread them around in different hiding places for
an egg hunt,but they also give out these treats as gifts.人们不仅把它们四处分布在不同的隐藏处用于找蛋活动,而且他们还分发这些款待物品作为礼物。
知识点: give out在该句中表示“分发;散发”,相当于hand out,是由“动词+副词”构成的短语。当名词作其宾语时,名词既可放在out后,又可放在give与out之间;当代词作其宾语时,代词要放在give与out之间。表示分发的对象要用介词to。
Can you give out the drinks,please =Can you give the drinks out,please
请你把饮料分给大家好吗?
