Poland

波兰

For Poles, Christmas Eve is a night of magic when animals are said to talk and people have the power to predict the future. It’s a time for families to gather and reconcile any differences, and to remember loved ones who have gone before them.

对于波兰人来说，平安夜是充满魔力的一夜。据说动物在这一夜可以与人说话，而人有预测未来的能力。家人们会在平安夜团聚一堂，调和矛盾，并怀念过世的亲人。

Wigilia (vee-GEEL-yah), which literally means "vigil," or waiting for the birth of Baby Jesus, is considered more important than Christmas Day itself.

对波兰人来说，“守夜”或“等待婴孩耶稣的诞生”（Wigilia）比圣诞节那一天更重要。

Wigilia is a meatless meal because, years ago, Roman Catholics fasted for the four weeks of Advent, including Christmas Eve. In the past there were thirteen main dishes

(representing the Apostles and Christ), but, these days, many families have replaced this tradition with a twelve-fruit compote for dessert.

1

“守夜”晚餐是素食，因为多年前，罗马天主教徒在降临节四周一直到平安夜都斋戒。过去晚餐有13道主菜（代表耶稣和他的使徒）。但是如今许多家庭转而选择12样水果的果盘甜点。

The foods are to represent the four corners of the earth -- mushrooms from the forest, grain from the fields, fruit from the orchards, and fish from the lakes and sea.

食物代表地球的天涯海角——蘑菇来自于森林，谷物来自于田地，水果来自于果园，而鱼来自于湖海。

Meals vary from family to family but usually include a special soup followed by many elegant fish preparations, vegetables, and pierogi.

每家的饭菜都不同，但通常都包括一种特制的汤，还有许多精致的鱼肉餐、蔬菜和半圆形小酥饼。

Czech Republic

捷克共和国

The Czech version of Saint Nick is known as Svaty Mikulas, who is said to climb down to Earth from the heavens using a golden rope. Mikulas is accompanied by an angel and a 2

devil who help him decide which girls and boys deserve treats and toys, and which ones deserve a swatch.

捷克人称圣诞老人为“米库拉斯”（Svaty Mikulas）。据说他用一根金绳从天堂爬到了大地。陪在他身边的是一位天使和一位恶魔。他们俩决定哪些男孩女孩值得得到美食和玩具而哪些孩子该被鞭打一顿。

There are a lot of fortune-telling traditions that are associated with Christmas as well. One involves a family member cutting a branch from a cherry tree and putting it inside in water. If it blooms in time for Christmas it is good luck. It also may represent that the winter will be short, or if a single woman picked the branch, it could mean she will get married in the next year.

圣诞节也有一些算命的习俗。其中有一个是家庭成员从樱桃树上砍下一根树枝并把它放入水中。如果它在圣诞节开了花，就表示好运。它也代表冬季会很短。倘若一位单身女子捡到了这根树枝，这表示她在明年将会结婚。

On Christmas Eve, single woman also try to see if they will get married in the next year by standing outside with their back to their front door, removing one of their shoes and

throwing it over their shoulder. If the shoe lands with the toe facing the door, then she will marry in the next year. If not, she will have to wait at least another 12 months.

在平安夜，单身女子还会通过“扔鞋子”来测试自己明年是否会结婚。她们在屋外背对前门站着，脱下一只鞋，把它从肩上向后扔。如果鞋子落地时鞋头朝门，这就表示她们明年将会结婚。如果鞋子鞋尾朝门，她们就得再等个一年了。

Austria

奥地利

Austrian children still get to celebrate the arrival of Ol’ Saint Nick, but they also have to brace themselves for the arrival of his evil counterpart, Krampus. Where Saint Nicholas 3

rewards good behavior with treats and toys on December 6, the demonic Krampus arrives on December 5, looking to punish all the bad children. His weapons of choice are birch switches to beat children with and burlap sacks to kidnap them and throw them into the river. The worst part is that local men actually dress up like Krampus (just like many men dress up as Santa in America) and terrorize the streets. In some villages, kids are even made to run what is known as a Krampus-gauntlet, in an attempt to outrun the switches. 地利的孩子们庆祝圣诞老人的到来，但同时他们也得迎来邪恶的克拉普斯（Krampus）。圣诞老人在12月6号给表现好的孩子送美食、发玩具。而恶魔般的克拉普斯5号就到了，意在惩罚所有的坏孩子。他把桦树枝做的鞭子当武器，还用粗麻袋绑架他们，把他们扔到河里。最糟糕的是，当地的男士会打扮的像克拉普斯（就像许多美国人打扮的像圣诞老人一样），在街上吓唬小孩子。在很多村庄里，很多小孩子甚至必须接受“克拉普斯大挑战”，他们努力比克拉普斯的鞭子跑得更快。

France

法国

Children of East France have an evil visitor to keep them behaving all year long. Le Pere Fouettard, which translates into “The Whipping Father,” accompanies Saint Nicolas in on December 6. While St. Nick gives good children presents, Le Pere Fouettard gives coal and whippings to the naughty children.

法国东部的孩子们有个邪恶的造访者，他叫“鞭子老爹”（Le Pere Fouettard），确保孩子们一整年都表现乖巧。圣诞老人12月6号给孩子分发礼物时，他也陪伴左右。“鞭子老爹”会给淘气的孩子煤块和一顿鞭子。

4

One of the most popular origin stories of the character say that he was a greedy inn

keeper who killed three rich boys on their way to boarding school. In many versions of the story, he even eats the children. Whether or not he cannibalizes the boys, the story ends when Saint Nick finds out and resurrects the children and forces Le Pere Fouettard to act as his servant throughout time.

关于“鞭子老爹”这个人物的起源，最流行的一个版本是说，他是一个贪婪的旅馆老板，在三个富男孩上学路上把他们杀了。很多其他版本甚至流传他吃小孩。故事的结局是圣诞老人找到并救出了孩子们，还迫使“鞭子老爹”永世做他的仆人。

Aside from The Whipping Father, another popular French tradition involves making a cake that looks like a traditional Yule log, known as buche de Noel. Christmas trees never really caught on in the country and while most people don’t have any use for an actual Yule log, the cake is a fun and festive substitute. Some of the buche de Nol can get fairly elaborate and even involve meringue mushrooms and edible flower decorations.

除了“鞭子老爹”的故事，法国圣诞还有一个传统是做“圣诞柴蛋糕”。其实圣诞树从未风靡全法国。虽然圣诞柴对法国人来说没什么实际用途，但这个蛋糕代表了人们的愉快和节日的喜庆。有些“圣诞柴蛋糕”做得相当精致，甚至有蛋白酥皮小蘑菇和能吃的花朵装饰品。

Germany

德国

Belsnickel is the German Santa’s dark enforcer, but he’s not nearly as evil as Krumpus or The Whipping Father. Instead he just wears fur from head to toe and gives good girls and boys candy and bad children coal and switches.

贝尔森克（Belsnickel）是德国圣诞老人的惩罚执行者，但他没克拉普斯或鞭子老爹那么邪恶。他从头到脚穿着毛皮，给好孩子们发糖果，给坏孩子们煤块和一顿鞭子。

[各国圣诞习俗英语作文

「圣诞节christmas」这个字，由「基督(christ)」和「崇拜聚会(mass)」两个字组成。所以，「耶稣基督」和「敬拜基督」二者合起来，就是圣诞节的中心。

圣诞日期

耶稣在哪一天降生?圣经并没有明载。但一般教会，普遍以十二月廿五日，来纪念耶稣降生。一年之中，日间最短的是十二月廿二日，这是黑暗最长、阳光最短的一日。古人知道这个事实，所以在这日之后庆祝「光复」。罗马人在廿五日，把灯挂在窗上请太阳回来;德国人装饰常青树，因为常青树代表太阳会回来。

后来，古罗马人归信基督后，就把十二月廿五日，改为敬拜那万福之源，生命之光的耶稣。所以，在这段最黑和最寒冷的时间，庆祝圣诞并不令人意外，因为神把耶稣的光和温暖送给我们。让我们在圣诞节，相信耶稣，接纳他十架代死之功，使自己与神和好，得著他所赐的新生命!

圣诞老人

圣尼古拉，是历史上真正的「圣诞老人」。他于公元二百八十年，生于小亚细亚一个富有家庭。他幼年时失去了双亲，后来成为一位传道人。他曾做过主教，也曾为持守信仰而入狱。他是最出名的「慈善家」，最爱施舍金钱或物品，帮助有需要的人。

传说中他会穿上特别的衣服，在街上把礼物送给穷苦的孩子。据说圣尼古拉于公元三百四十三年去世，但很多小孩子相信他仍然活著，而且，在圣诞节会以送礼物给他们，来庆祝耶稣基督降生。

圣诞袜

很多家庭在圣诞节期间，挂上特别的袜子。这袜与圣尼古拉(圣诞老人)有关。据说尼古拉要帮助一位父亲，为他女儿预备嫁妆，他把一袋金子，从窗口掷入他们的家。那位女儿正把袜挂起来弄乾，那袋金子刚好跌进袜子里。

圣诞礼物

圣诞节人们互相送礼物，是因为神赐给世人最宝贵的礼物──他的独生子耶稣基督。因此人们欢欣鼓舞，并为了纪念神的爱，而互相送礼表示爱心。

但在这个物质主义的时代，商人利用圣诞节来赚钱。而人们特别是小孩子，想起圣诞节多会想起「收礼物」。但圣经说：「施比受更为有福」，如果我们送礼物的目的，是为了表示爱心关怀，那是很好的，应该多多的送礼物。但为「送礼而送礼」，那就不必了。

圣诞装饰

圣诞装饰，大多有它们的意义：灯代表基督是世界之光;绿色的常青树、冬青树和槲寄生作为圣诞树，代表耶稣带给我们的生命;而基督教的象徵──天使和星星，使这些树更突出。而每一种树，也有它们不同的意义：香柏树代表耶稣王的身分;冬青树锋利的尖端和红橘子，代表基督钉死在十字架上。

冬天在五时左右就天黑了，当您把圣诞灯饰亮起时，请记著耶稣把光和神的生命带进黑暗的生命中。

基督象徵树(chrismontree)

有些教会，以「基督象徵树」代替圣诞树。基督象徵树，由美国维吉尼亚州的信义会发起，「基督象徵树」与普通圣诞树的分别是，它挂的是象徵耶诞基督的装饰物。灯全都是白色的，这树只有白色和金色，白色代表耶稣的圣洁，金色代表基督王的身分。

十二天圣诞节

「十二天圣诞节」指由圣诞节计起的十二天。世人以十二小时(半日)的时间，庆祝基督的降生;教会则以十二日来庆祝，因为基督是一年十二个月都与我们一起的。

基督降临节

圣诞节前的四个星期，称为「基督降临节」，用以筹备庆祝耶稣基督的降生。旧约圣经(耶稣出生前)预言，神会差遣弥赛亚(即救世主)来世界，新约圣经(耶稣出生后)预言耶稣会再回来。

圣诞士的糖

传说士的糖，是由一位希望见证耶稣的糖果商人发明的。士的糖是硬的，正如耶稣基督是万古的磐石;「j」形的糖身，代表耶稣(jesus)头一个字母或牧羊人的杖;白色代表耶稣的纯洁;红色的纹代表基督为我们的罪流血，另外三条较细小的红纹，是他为我们所受的鞭痕;有些士的糖有绿色的纹，这代表耶稣是神给我们的礼物。士的糖是用薄荷做的，因薄荷是牛膝草类(耶稣钉在十字架上时，兵丁以海绒浸了酸酒，绑在牛膝草上，送到他唇边)，而且牛膝草代表洁净和牺牲。耶稣是纯洁的羔羊，他来为世人的罪牺牲。

下次你见到士的糖时，请记住：耶稣基督是我们的好牧人，他是万古磐石，他并没有犯罪，但舍身流血为我们赎罪，使信他的人得永生!

Christmas Day is the biggest festival in the western countries.It is on December 25， the birthday of Jesus Christ.Before the festival， every family will buy a Christmas tree， and put it in the middle of the living-room. And their houses look more soft and beautiful.

On Christmas Eve， children always hang up their Christmas stockings and hope Father Christmas will come to put presents in them. In fact， their parents put the presents in their stockings.

Christmas， annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25， and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well. Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6， when they celebrate Epiphany， a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus. Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem (near Jerusalem， Israel)， where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold， frankincense， and myrrh. The official Christmas season， popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas， extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6.

Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew (see Matthew 1：18-2：12) and the Gospel according to Luke (see Luke 1：26-56). Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas， then known as the Feast of the Nativity， as early as 336 ad. The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse， meaning “festival of Christ.” Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century. The X stands for the Greek letter chi， an abbreviation of Khristos (Christ)， and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified.

导语：端午节那天人们都会举行划龙舟活动，你对这项活动有什么了解的呢?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节的作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination.

Folk tales say the game originates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuans body, but experts, after painstaking and meticulous research, conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious, semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). In the following thousands of years, the game spread to Japan, Vietnam and Britain as well as Chinas Taiwan and Hong Kong. Now dragon boat racing has developed into an aquatic sports item which features both Chinese tradition and modern sporting spirit. In 1980, it was listed into the state sports competition programs and has since been held every year. The award is called "Qu Yuan Cup."

【参考译文】

划龙舟是端午节不可缺少的一部分，在全国各地举行。当枪被发射时，人们会看到在龙形独木舟中的运动员们在快速的鼓声中快速和谐地拉着桨，向着目的地飞驰而去。

民间故事说游戏来源于寻找屈原的尸体，但专家的活动，经过艰苦细致的研究，得出这样的结论：赛龙舟是一种半宗教半娱乐性的节目从战国时期(公元前475-221)。在以后的几千年里，游戏传播到日本、越南、英国以及中国的台湾和香港。龙舟运动已发展成为具有中国传统和现代体育精神的水上运动项目。1980，它被列入国家体育竞赛项目，此后每年举行。该奖项被称为“屈原杯。”

德国民俗学家对圣诞节习俗探本求源之后，发现大部分圣诞节习俗源自德国。

据德国民俗学家考证，除宗教仪式外，大部分圣诞节习俗形成时间不算长。在英国，圣诞节最初只意味着人们可以狂欢痛饮的酒宴，直到19世纪，英国女王维多利亚与她的德国夫婿阿尔贝特结婚后，盎格鲁-撒克逊地区才开始流行过圣诞节。把圣诞节带到美国的也是德国移民。之前，从英国到美国殖民的清教徒一度拒绝过圣诞节。

圣诞树最早出现在19世纪初欧洲德语地区。在1870年至1871年的普法战争中，普鲁士军队曾在战地竖起装饰着蜡烛的圣诞树。在19世纪70年代，法国人尚未接受来自德国的圣诞树，但圣诞树已开始在欧洲其他地区和北美流行。

据介绍，目前学术界对圣诞树的起源有两种观点。一种观点认为圣诞树源自古代日耳曼人的习俗，但证据不足;另一种观点认为圣诞树源自16世纪早期有关耶稣诞生的戏剧的布景。德国民俗学家发现，早在1621年，德国特里尔南部一家修道院中就出现过饰有蜡烛的圣诞树。

德国民俗学家认为，在圣诞节前夜即平安夜赠送礼物也是德国马丁·路德宗教改革后的发明。他们说，从16世纪起，欧洲一些地区就有在圣尼古拉节(12月初)给孩子送礼物的习俗。马丁·路德宗教改革后，德国不仅保留了赠送礼物的习俗，还引入了“耶稣圣婴”的形象。所谓“耶稣圣婴”实际上是个身穿白衣的金发小姑娘，她和圣诞老人的职责都是把礼物带给过去一年里表现好的孩子。

在许多德国人看来，如今的圣诞节已和历史上的大不一样，美式文化的烙印日益鲜明，原有宗教内容不断消失，而曾经打在圣诞节上的德国烙印更是鲜为人知。

It was Christmas day. I got up early and put a boot on the bed. To be honest, I really want the advent of Santa Claus.

On the way, there was a Christmas atmosphere everywhere. In front of the store stood a large and small "Christmas tree", white glass with cotton candy. The stationery shops Santa Claus pencil bag is even more attractive.

When they came to the school, they were all studying in the classroom, and no one was aware of the "broken jade" scattered by the fairies outside the window. After 20 minutes, through the thin gauze curtain, you can clearly see the snow-covered snow, there are thousands of small footprints, this is their beautiful youth time.

The jade castle of the snow, at Christmas. It dances with the colorful Christmas tree. After a while, white the golden words on the roof, white campus corner...

The good time hurried by, I reluctantly walked on the way home.

In the evening, I was surprised to find that the boots were bulging and opened. There were so many lovely presents in it. A Santa Claus muppet, a little girl with pigtails and some weird candy. Maybe this is the legend of Santa Claus.

Less little Christmas tree, Christmas is the feast of atmosphere, there are a variety of different legends about the Christmas tree.

A is said about the 16th century, the germans evergreen pine tree branches to house decoration, become a Christmas tree. Later, the German Martin Luther put candles on fir trees of the forest, and then lit candles, looks like the lead people to Bethlehem, today have to switch to pink small bulb.

There is a legend, long long ago, there was a farmer, on Christmas day met a poor child, he warmly received the children. Children stuck in the ground when he left broke off a piece of pine, pine immediately into a tree, are hung above the gift, thanks to the farmers kindness.

Christmas tree, first seen in Germany, and then to Europe and the United States, with its graceful posture, become the indispensable Christmas decoration. There are many types of Christmas tree, the tree is full of decoration, but the top of the tree, there must be a big star symbolizes the three wise men following the star to find Jesus, only the head of the household can hang up the star of hope.

少了圣诞树，圣诞节就少了过节的气氛，关于圣诞树有多种不同的传说。

一个是说：大约十六世纪，德国人把长青的松柏枝拿到屋中去摆设，成为圣诞树。后来，德国人马丁路德把蜡烛放在树林中的枞树枝上，然后点燃蜡烛，看起来像是引导人们到伯利恒去，今日已改用粉色小灯泡。

还有一个传说记载，很久以前，有一位农民，在圣诞节遇到一个穷苦的小孩，他热情地接待了这个儿童。儿童临走时折下一根松枝插在地上，松枝立即变成一棵树，上面都挂满礼物，以答谢农民的好意。

圣诞树首先见于德国，后又传入欧洲和美国，以其优美的姿态，成为圣诞节不可缺少的装饰。圣诞树的种类繁多，树上满是装饰品，但树顶一定有颗大星星，象征三贤士跟随该星找到耶稣，只有一家之主才可以把希望之星挂上。

Christmas is a time for miracles.It is also a time when the dull things of daily life and the forecast of human hature gives way to a spiritual awakening.Allow me to share with you one truly wonder of Christmas.

Our miracle story comes from an incident that occurred in Flanders, Belgium, at the dawn of World War I. On December 24th ,1914, German and English troops faced each other from the relative safety of their ditches across which no man’s land lying between them. Suddenly, the silence was broken, not by gunfire, but by the strains of Silent Night arising from the German position. It wasn’t long before the English troops responded with a Yuletide hymn of their own. Then an amazing sight surprised the eyes of the English soldiers. A German soldier holding a small tree arranged with lighted candles began to walk across the land toward the English lines. This miraculous scene occasioned the declaration of a truce followed by English and German troops greeting one another, exchanging small gifts and singing songs of Christmas. Word of this incredible phenomenon reached the High Command of both sides.

On Christmas Day, both armies moved from their positions to engage in the killing of war at other battlefields. However, on Christmas Eve 1914 on a field in Flanders, there was Peace on Earth.

Christmas is a truly amazing phenomenon. The day and season perpetuate a miraculous, historical event as an annual presence that challenges an often rough, cruel, and egotistical creature — the human being — to become open and amenable to their Creator’s vision. The great miracle of Christmas continues in the performance of humane acts, moral honesty, and in the spiritual awareness of millions struggling to lead a life of grace.

圣诞节对全球的影响：

在2012年，在全球经济不景气的情况下，全球的圣诞经济并不乐观。虽然较平常确有不小幅度的升温，但远远低于历史水平。尤其是类似希腊这样陷入债务危机的国家，经济本身并没有复苏，购物的人们只能转转无奈离去。英国、加拿大、新加坡、美国等国由于经济好转，在商家的大力促销下圣诞经济快速回升。

Santa Claus was born in US in the 1860s he was named this as he had a white beard and a belly, so he was named Santa Claus as this was the Dutch word for St Nicholas, Sintaklaas. Although the Dutch had bought him with them in the 17th century, he did not become an important person at Christmas until the Novelist Washington Irving put him in a novel that he wrote in 1809. This first Santa Claus was still known as St. Nicholas, he did smoke a pipe, and fly around in a wagon without any reindeer, but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole, he did however bring presents to children every year.

In 1863 He was given the name Santa Claus and bore the red suit, pipe, and his reindeer and sleigh.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.

圣诞节快到了，今天下午，我和妈妈兴高采烈地到世纪联华超市去买圣诞树。

到了那儿，我们随着拥挤的人群乘电梯来到二楼。一棵棵碧绿的圣诞树呈现在我们的眼前，旁边的柜子上还摆满了精美的圣诞礼物，让人看得眼花缭乱。

我和妈妈先选了一棵圣诞树，它的个子比我还高呢!接着，我们开始精心挑选一些精美的小挂件来装饰这棵圣诞树。我选了一颗漂亮的大五角星，外面是银白色的，里面是桃红色的，中间用金丝绣着英文“圣诞快乐”，看上去像在闪闪发光;我又选了一个金黄色的圈儿，它的下面有几片绿叶，绿叶的中间有两颗亮晶晶的小红果和一朵美丽的小红花。妈妈挑了一串鲜红的葡萄，上面有一个黄色的蝴蝶结，晶亮的葡萄能映出我和妈妈的笑脸。我们还选了一个可爱的圣诞小雪人、火红的印花小扇、三片洁白的泡沫雪花片和一盒七彩闪灯。

付了钱以后，我们满载而归。一到家，我就迫不及待地展开圣诞树上的枝叶，将这些漂亮可爱的小挂件挂到树上。妈妈把闪灯绕在圣诞树上，接通了电源，啊!五颜六色的“星星”调皮地眨着美丽的小眼睛，一会儿红，一会儿绿，一会儿黄，一会儿五彩缤纷……像在和我捉迷藏呢!它们把这棵树点缀得更加美丽了。

看着自己打扮的圣诞树，我的心里特别高兴，我和妈妈在树旁又唱又跳，开心极了!
