聖誕節普世歡騰,疫情下仍有部分市民外出感受佳節氣氛,周末更見熱鬧,偌大的聖誕樹,金光閃閃,非常矚目,人人舉機自拍。但在鎂光燈下,不要忘記跟摯愛的家人送上祝福及表達愛意。除了最常用的一句Merry Christmas外, D Mind Education首席培訓師張子暉老師亦分享了兩句聖誕英文祝福語,父母快和子女一起學習吧!
對象是子女
From the moment I saw your sweet face, I knew you were the best Christmas gift I could ever receive. Merry Christmas, Sweetie!
這句的意思是,從我看到你的那一刻起,我就知道你是我收到的最好的聖誕禮物。聖誕快樂,親愛的!
對象是父母
I would like to thank you for always being there for me as I was growing up. You truly are the best parents I could have wished for. I love you.
這句的意思是,我要感謝你,因為在成長過程中,你總是時刻陪伴着我。你們是我最好的。我愛你。
除了用英文送上聖誕祝福外,還有一些聖誕傳統玩意也很有趣,例如 「kissing under the mistletoe」是西方的傳統,有指如果女生不小心走到mistletoe下方,那麼在那裡巧遇她的男生,就有權力可以向她索取一個吻!父母亦可與子女一起裝飾聖誕樹,通常大家會說: It’s time to decorate the Christmas tree. 其實我們可以用另一個動詞代替 decorate。We can also say… It’s time to trim the Christmas tree.
