课文三维剖析
THE REAL FATHER CHRISTMAS
真正的圣诞老人
Many people still remember the magic of Father Christmas from1 when2 they were children. As parents, they try to keep that magic alive3 for their children for as long as they can4. 来自童年时代的圣诞老人的魔力，很多人(长大以后)还依然记得。为人父母之后，他们也想让自己的孩子尽可能长久地相信这份魔力的存在。 That is why5 Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who6 regard Christmas as a special time of year. The man who7 wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature— J．R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings8. The letters were Tolkien's way of keeping Father Christmas alive9 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，那就是为什么对于他们，《圣诞老人的来信》是再合适不过的书了。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。 Every Christmas, an envelope with a North Pole stamp10 arrived. It was addressed to Tolkien's children. Who could it be from The children must have been very excited as11 they opened it. Inside, they would find a handwritten letter from Father Christmas. The letters were also beautifully illustrated—each must have taken12 its true author, Tolkien, a long time to complete. 每年圣诞节，托尔金的家里都会收到一封贴有北极邮票的信，收信人是托尔金的孩子们。会是谁寄来的呢？孩子们打开时一定非常兴奋。他们会看到里面有一封圣诞老人的亲笔信。信里还配着精美的插图——它们真正的作者托尔金一定花了很长时间去完成每一幅画作。 The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas's life and13 adventures at the North Pole. A regular character in the letters was Polar Bear, who14 once climbed the North Pole (an actual pole in this case) and fell through the roof of Father Christmas's house. In another letter, Father Christmas complained about how15 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 that16 they might not receive their presents if17 they were not good. The letters did18, however, change as19 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。信中经常出现的一个角色是北极熊。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。在另一封信中，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： ... but if20 you find that21 not many of the things you asked for22 have come, and not perhaps quite as many as sometimes, remember that23 this Christmas all over the world there are a terrible number of poor and starving people. ……但是，如果你发现自己并没有得到很多你想要的东西，有时甚至所获无几，请你记住，在这个圣诞节，世界上还有很多贫穷而饥饿的人。 Letters from Father Christmas tells us that24 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。 1介词短语作后置定语 2引导宾语从句；作介词from的宾语 3不定式短语作宾语 4 as＋adj.＋as sb can结构，意为“尽某人所能……” 5That is why ... “那就是……的原因”，why引导表语从句 6引导定语从句，修饰先行词those 7引导定语从句，修饰先行词The__man 8作J.R.R.

The Longtaitou Festival, which means “dragon raises head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So, it's also called Eryueer Festival. In Chinese culture, the dragon is an auspicious (吉祥的) animal that dominates clouds and rains. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Heads raising Day. After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think these credits (功劳) go to the dragon. So the day is also called Spring Dragon Festival. Since the Tang Dynasty (618－907 AD), Chinese people have had the custom of spending the Spring Dragon Festival.
The most popular custom on the Dragon Heads raising Day is cutting hair. Dragon is highly honored for its dignity (尊贵) and power for good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on the Dragon Heads raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock at your door in the year. So, on that day, barbershops' businesses are growing and full of customers.
The most common foods for celebrating the festival are popcorn, pancakes, noodles, dumplings, fired soy beans and pig's head. People in different areas have different traditions about the food on the day. In Beijing, people eat Lvdagunr (Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour) and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi, people like to eat fried dough twists (油条) and pancakes. In Shandong, fried soy beans, noodles and dumplings are the festival food. In Fuzhou, the salted porridge made of glutinous rice, celery, scallion, garlic, fry dried shrimps and shredded meat is eaten. These show people's hope to be blessed (保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon.

At the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, among mountain songs and ethnic costumes and special ceremonies, I am noticeable despite my modern dress, as my green “VOLUNTEER” name tag brands me as a perfect target for curious tourists. I have volunteered to learn about global customs, but my knowledge of my native culture is limited. I had boxed up my past before moving to America eight years ago, when a new continent considered my old self foreign.
Here on the National Mall, I am the only means of communication between the Americans and the artisans (工匠), who were invited from China to display their talents. They see my awkward hand gestures as I test my mother tongue, speaking Mandarin (普通话) and putting it into English for visitors.
The artisans possess exceptional skills. He Guoyao can read thousands of pictographic characters and bears the duty of passing on Dongba culture. Cheng Zhirong creates fantastic animal figures with a spoon and melted sugar in minutes.Standing among them, I wonder about the contributions a 16 year old girl can make.
“Ooh, it's so pretty！” A young girl sticks her nose close to a sugar dragon. Zhirong, the candy maker, signals to me, and I explain to the girl that the dragon is pure sugar. “Mommy, it's candy！” she excitedly says. “Beautiful ...” The crowd breathes in__awe. One woman taps me on the shoulder, saying, “Please, tell her that her work is surreal ... a gift from another world.”
As Zhirong takes my hand and calls me “little sister”， I find my place in this group of extraordinary people who crossed oceans to build a bridge between different ethnicities and nationalities through sugar sculptures and painted words. I, too, am a bearer of traditions.
I smile at Guoyao, as he paints in pictographic characters the English words I have taught him, “You're welcome.” I come to know that culture is not shelved behind glass cases in museums. It is in the life that I once thought backward and dull—the Chinese way of life that is a part of me.

Down in Oaxaca, Mexico, there is a special festival on December 23rd called la Noche de Rábanos, or the Night of the Radishes (萝卜之夜). Every year, people from all over the state display their amazing radish sculptures. Both Oaxacans and tourists wait excitedly for the 23rd, and line up starting in the afternoon to see the year's art.
Over a hundred years ago, there was a market held on December 23rd called la Vigila de Navidad. It was a special Christmas market for people to buy ingredients, decorations, and so on. Vendors (摊贩) at this market would carve radishes to decorate their stalls. The carved radishes became very popular, and people started to buy them as Christmas decorations. Over the years, it is said, the vendors would compete to see who could make the best sculptures. Finally the tradition has become today's yearly festival which draws tourists from all over the world.
The radishes used in the festival are bigger than normal (up to 3 kg), and are harvested just a week beforehand. There are two types of sculptures: traditional designs and “free” designs. The traditional designs include Christmas scenes or designs related to Oaxaca. Free designs can be anything, but sometimes include famous people and animals. There are also two other types of plant sculptures, one made from flowers, another made from cornhusk.
As you walk through the rows of radish art you'll hear live music, and you can even see fireworks at the end. Close by there is delicious street food, Christmas markets, and many galleries and stores, all decorated with lights.
For people wanting to travel for Christmas, Oaxaca is an excellent place to visit. There are lots of different events along with the Night of the Radishes. The weather in December is usually warm (20℃ on average), and the sky is often sunny and cloudless. It's a perfect vacation place for people coming from wintery climates.

The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas's life and13 adventures at the North Pole.

In another letter, Father Christmas complained about how15 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 that16 they might not receive their presents if17 they were not good.

这些信里讲述了圣诞老人在北极生活和探险的精彩故事。信中经常出现的一个角色是北极熊。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。在另一封信中，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：

Ⅰ 阅读
The Longtaitou Festival, which means “dragon raises head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So, it's also called Eryueer Festival. In Chinese culture, the dragon is an auspicious (吉祥的) animal that dominates clouds and rains. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Heads raising Day. After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think these credits (功劳) go to the dragon. So the day is also called Spring Dragon Festival. Since the Tang Dynasty (618－907 AD), Chinese people have had the custom of spending the Spring Dragon Festival.
The most popular custom on the Dragon Heads raising Day is cutting hair. Dragon is highly honored for its dignity (尊贵) and power for good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on the Dragon Heads raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock at your door in the year. So, on that day, barbershops' businesses are growing and full of customers.
The most common foods for celebrating the festival are popcorn, pancakes, noodles, dumplings, fired soy beans and pig's head. People in different areas have different traditions about the food on the day. In Beijing, people eat Lvdagunr (Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour) and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi, people like to eat fried dough twists (油条) and pancakes. In Shandong, fried soy beans, noodles and dumplings are the festival food. In Fuzhou, the salted porridge made of glutinous rice, celery, scallion, garlic, fry dried shrimps and shredded meat is eaten. These show people's hope to be blessed (保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon.

At the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, among mountain songs and ethnic costumes and special ceremonies, I am noticeable despite my modern dress, as my green “VOLUNTEER” name tag brands me as a perfect target for curious tourists. I have volunteered to learn about global customs, but my knowledge of my native culture is limited. I had boxed up my past before moving to America eight years ago, when a new continent considered my old self foreign.

Here on the National Mall, I am the only means of communication between the Americans and the artisans (工匠), who were invited from China to display their talents. They see my awkward hand gestures as I test my mother tongue, speaking Mandarin (普通话) and putting it into English for visitors.
The artisans possess exceptional skills. He Guoyao can read thousands of pictographic characters and bears the duty of passing on Dongba culture. Cheng Zhirong creates fantastic animal figures with a spoon and melted sugar in minutes.Standing among them, I wonder about the contributions a 16 year old girl can make.
“Ooh, it's so pretty！” A young girl sticks her nose close to a sugar dragon. Zhirong, the candy maker, signals to me, and I explain to the girl that the dragon is pure sugar. “Mommy, it's candy！” she excitedly says. “Beautiful ...” The crowd breathes in__awe. One woman taps me on the shoulder, saying, “Please, tell her that her work is surreal ... a gift from another world.”
As Zhirong takes my hand and calls me “little sister”， I find my place in this group of extraordinary people who crossed oceans to build a bridge between different ethnicities and nationalities through sugar sculptures and painted words. I, too, am a bearer of traditions.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为志愿者参加了史密森尼民俗节，在这期间见识了两名来自中国的手工艺人的卓越技巧，从而感悟到中国文化始终是自己身份的一部分。
I smile at Guoyao, as he paints in pictographic characters the English words I have taught him, “You're welcome.” I come to know that culture is not shelved behind glass cases in museums. It is in the life that I once thought backward and dull—the Chinese way of life that is a part of me.

Over a hundred years ago, there was a market held on December 23rd called la Vigila de Navidad. It was a special Christmas market for people to buy ingredients, decorations, and so on. Vendors (摊贩) at this market would carve radishes to decorate their stalls. The carved radishes became very popular, and people started to buy them as Christmas decorations. Over the years, it is said, the vendors would compete to see who could make the best sculptures. Finally the tradition has become today's yearly festival which draws tourists from all over the world.
The radishes used in the festival are bigger than normal (up to 3 kg), and are harvested just a week beforehand. There are two types of sculptures: traditional designs and “free” designs. The traditional designs include Christmas scenes or designs related to Oaxaca. Free designs can be anything, but sometimes include famous people and animals. There are also two other types of plant sculptures, one made from flowers, another made from cornhusk.
As you walk through the rows of radish art you'll hear live music, and you can even see fireworks at the end. Close by there is delicious street food, Christmas markets, and many galleries and stores, all decorated with lights.
