The_Night_Before_Christmas___PPt.ppt

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house nothing was moving not even a mouse. The stockings had been hungwith attention and carein the hope that Santa soon would be there. The children were sleepingsafe in their beds, while vague dreams of presents danced in their heads. My wife, wearing a scarf and I, wearing a cap ,had just settled ourselves for a long winter nap, And then, in an instant.I heard on the roofthe stepping and scratching of each little hoof His oval eyes shinedand his face looked so merry!His cheeks were like roses-his nose like a cherry! His cute little mouthturned up like a bow.And the beard tnd moustachewere as white as the snow He didn’t speak a word and went straight to workhe filled all the stockingsand the turned with a jerk After looking around And scratching his nose He gave a nod And up the chimney the rose He jumped into his sleighand gave a loud whistle.And away he flewlike the seeds of a thistle But I heard him shout before he drove out of sight“Merry Christmas to all.And to all a good night” Merry Christmas to all . . . * * The Night before Christmas 这是圣诞的前夜 整座屋子毫无声响 没有一个人走动 连老鼠也一样 小心翼翼 将长袜挂好 满怀着希望 盼圣诞老人来到 孩子们都以安睡 在各自的床上 脑海中扇动着 收到礼物的梦想 妻子带上围巾 我带上帽子 做好准备 睡个冬天的长觉 转眼之间 在屋顶上 传来小蹄子踢踏的 声音 As I pulled in my head And was turning around Down came stout Santa In a single bound 等我缩回头 再转过身 从上方跳下 健壮的圣诞老人 他椭圆的眼睛闪了闪 脸上满是欢喜 他的脸颊像玫瑰 鼻子像是樱桃 他那可爱的小嘴 像只弯弯的弓 他的胡须 颜色和白雪相同 他一句话也不说 赶忙开始干活 把长袜都装满 突然就把身转 他向四周望望 用手指挠挠鼻子 又把头点点 纵身跃上烟囱 他跳上雪橇 大声吹个口哨 然后起飞 好像蓟花的绒毛 在离开之前 我听见他高喊 圣诞快乐 各位晚安 . . . And to all a good night!
