圣誕節(jié)祝福短信英文
I looked in my mail box. There were only bills in it, a sheaf of them, and two white envelopes which I was sure contained more bills. I went up three dusty flights of stairs and I cried, shivering in my thin coat. But I made myself smile so I could greet my little daughter with a Pretense of happiness. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding that we decorate the tree immediately.
回到家我打開(kāi)郵箱,只有一把賬單,還有兩個(gè)白色的信封,肯定里面裝的也是賬單。我爬上三層積滿灰塵的樓梯,禁不住凄然淚下,又加衣衫單薄冷得直打哆嗦。但我擦擦眼淚,強(qiáng)擠出笑容,要讓自己在女兒面前露出喜悅之情。她打開(kāi)門,直撲我的懷抱,欣喜地喊叫著要馬上裝飾圣誕樹(shù)。
Peggy had proudly set our kitchen table for our evening meal and put pans out and three cans of food which would be our dinner. For some reason, when I looked at those pans and cans, I felt brokenhearted. We would have only hamburgers for our Christmas dinner tomorrow. I stood in the cold little kitchen, misery overwhelmed me. For the first time in my life, I doubted the existence and his mercy, and the coldness in my heart was colder than ice.
佩吉已自豪地支好了桌子,擺上盤子和3個(gè)罐頭,這就是我們的晚餐。不知道為什么,當(dāng)我看著那些盤子和罐頭時(shí),我心痛欲碎。明天的圣誕晚餐我們將只有漢堡包。我站立在又冷又窄小的廚房里,滿腹悲傷。有生以來(lái)我第一次懷疑仁慈上帝的存在,心里比冰雪還要冷。
The doorbell rang and Peggy ran fleetly to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. Then I heard a man talking heartily to her and went to the door. He was a delivery man, and his arms were full of parcels. "This is a mistake," I said, but he read the name on the parcels and there were for me. When he had gone I could only stare at the boxes. Peggy and I sat on the floor and opened them. A huge doll, three times the size of the one I had bought for her. Gloves. Candy. A beautiful leather purse. Incredible! I looked for the name of the sender. It was the teacher, the address was simply "California", where she had moved.
這時(shí)門鈴響了,佩吉一邊飛奔著去開(kāi)門,一邊叫著一定是圣誕老人。隨后我聽(tīng)到一個(gè)人與佩吉在熱情交談,便走了過(guò)去。他是郵遞員,抱著好幾個(gè)包裹!斑@弄錯(cuò)了吧,”我說(shuō),但他念出包裹上的名字,確實(shí)是給我的。他走后,我吃驚地盯著這些盒子。佩吉和我在地板上坐下來(lái),把包裹打開(kāi)。一個(gè)大大的娃娃,有我給她買的娃娃3倍大,還有手套、糖果、漂亮的皮夾子!難以置信!我找出了寄送者的名字,是那個(gè)教師,上面只簡(jiǎn)單地寫著“加利福尼亞”,她已經(jīng)搬到那兒去了。
Our dinner the nigh was the most delicious I had ever eaten. I forgot I had no money for the rent and only fifteen dollars in my purse and no job. My child and I ate and laughed together in happiness. Then we decorated the little tree and marveled at it. I put Peggy to bed and set up her gifts around the tree and a sweet peace flooded me like a benediction. I had some hope again. I could even examine the sheaf of bills without cringing.
那天的晚飯是我吃過(guò)的最可口的晚飯。我忘了還得交房租,忘了兜里只有15元錢,忘了自己還沒(méi)有工作。我和孩子邊吃邊幸福地歡笑著。飯后我們裝點(diǎn)小圣誕樹(shù),裝點(diǎn)得那么漂亮讓我們自己都驚奇不已。我安置好佩吉睡覺(jué),將她的禮物放在圣誕樹(shù)的周圍。一種甜蜜的寧?kù)o籠罩著我,像在給我祝福,我心里又燃起了希望。我甚至可以毫不畏懼地打開(kāi)那一疊賬單了
