Give me a one-word answer for this question! What makes Christmas such a special day?Did you say toys, or Santa, or candy, or lights?Oh, Im sure one of you said, Jesus! 小朋友们, 我们刚刚过了一个节日, 叫做圣诞节。那么, 圣诞节这一天有什么特别的呢?我请你只用一个词来回答这个问题。你的答案是什么呢?玩具, 圣诞老人, 糖果, 圣诞灯火, 等等。但我相信一定有人会说：圣诞节之所以特别是因为耶稣。 Actually, the story of Christmas is made up of many special days! Lets hear about one of them! Almost 2, 000 years ago a young woman was going about her ordinary, every-day work. Her name was Mary and she lived in Nazareth, in the tiny country of Israel in the Middle East. Yes, perhaps for Mary it began as an ordinary day of washing, cooking, cleaning, bringing water from the well, when suddenly! Something happened that changed her ordinary day into a very special day! 实际上, 圣诞节的故事是由许多特别的日子组成的。这就是我今天要讲的故事。其中的一个故事是这样的。大约2000年前, 在中东以色列这个地方有一个小小的城镇叫拿撒勒, 这里住著一位年轻的女子, 她的名字叫马利亚。这一天, 就象往常一样, 马利亚正忙著做事, 洗衣服, 做饭, 收拾屋子, 去到井边打水。突然, 发生了一件意想不到的事, 把这个平凡的日子变成了一个特别的日子。 |
