圣尼古拉斯英文

Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus Editorial Page, New York Sun, 1897 We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O'Hanlon Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a sceptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus? Thank God he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Santa Claus圣诞老人源于欧洲的民间传说，圣诞老人以一位神秘人物带给小孩子们礼物的概念衍生自圣尼古拉。尼古拉是一位生活在4世纪小亚细亚的好心主教，荷兰人在圣尼古拉斯节（12月6日）便会模仿他送礼物。

Santa Claus

圣诞老人（西方文化的传说人物）

圣诞老人（Santa Claus）别称Saint Nick、Kris Kringle、Father Christmas或Santa（爱尔兰英语的Santy），一位专门在圣诞节前夜时悄悄赠送礼物给小孩子的神秘人物，是节日主题的代表角色之一。他普遍被认为是基督教的圣人圣·尼古拉斯（Saint Nicholas）的衍生形象。

传说每到12月24日晚上，有个神秘人会乘驾由9只驯鹿拉的雪橇在天上飞翔，挨家挨户地从烟囱进入屋里，然后偷偷把礼物放在好孩子床头的袜子里，或者堆在壁炉旁的圣诞树下。他在一年中的其他时间里，都是忙于制作礼物和监督孩子们的行为。

虽然没有人真的见过神秘人的样子，但是人们会装扮成他的样子来给孩子送上礼物。他通常被描述为一位老人，头戴红色帽子，大大的白色胡子，一身红色棉衣，脚穿红色靴子的样子，拿着装有礼物的大袋子，因为总在圣诞节前夜出现派发礼物，所以习惯地称他为“圣诞老人”。

Santa Claus n.（名词） The personification of the spirit of Christmas, usually represented as a jolly, fat old man with a white beard and a red suit, who brings gifts to good children on Christmas Eve. 圣诞老人：圣诞神灵的化身，常被描述成为一个快乐的，胖胖的，长着白胡子并穿红衣服的老人，他会在圣诞夜中给表现好的孩子带去礼物

角色起源

圣诞老人源于欧洲的基督教圣人典故。他拥有9只名字各不相同的驯鹿，最大的烦恼是有烟囱爬的房子越来越少了。通常父母们会对他们的子女解释他们在圣诞节收到的礼物是圣诞老人送的。

圣诞老人以一位神秘人物带给小孩子们礼物的概念衍生自圣尼古拉。尼古拉是一位生活在4世纪小亚细亚的热爱施舍的慈悲主教，荷兰人在圣尼古拉斯节（12月6日）便会模仿他送礼物。

每年圣诞节，圣诞老人骑在驯鹿上，圣童手持圣诞树降临人间，随着世事变迁，作家和艺术家开始把圣诞老人描述成我们今日熟悉的着红装，留白胡子的形象。

Santa Claus

圣诞老人，一位专门在圣诞节前夜时悄悄赠送礼物给小孩子的神秘人物，是节日主题的代表角色之一。他普遍被认为是基督教的圣人，圣·尼古拉斯（Saint Nicholas）的衍生形象。是一位4世纪生活在小亚细亚的好心主教，荷兰人在圣尼古拉斯节（12月6日）便会模仿他送礼物。后来这个传统逐渐随着荷兰和英国人在全球的殖民扩散开来，慢慢地融入圣诞节日的庆祝里，荷兰语中的圣尼古拉传进英语成为Santa Claus，也就相应的成为圣诞老人的名字了。

圣诞老人总是快活的在圣诞前夜乘着驯鹿拉的雪橇到来，他从烟囱爬进屋内，留下给孩子们的礼物，并吃掉孩子们为他留下的食物。
