12月最让人期待的是什么呢？ 那就是圣诞节要到啦！ 到处都是温馨的节日气氛 所以今天，我们将学习一些英语短语，教你如何称呼一个不喜欢圣诞节的人，如何做一个讽刺的圣诞节有关的评论，以及如何充分享受假期！

 

 Scrooge/ Grinch 讨厌过节的人（吝啬鬼／扫兴者）

 These are terms that we use for people who just don’t really want anything to do with Christmas. Basically, they are the opposite of me. They don’t want to listen to Christmas music, or watch the movies. They hate going Christmas shopping. They see the holiday as more of an inconvenience than a joyous occasion. Why do we call these people a Grinch? Or a Scrooge? These are both names of characters in popular Christmas films. Both the Grinch and Mr. Scrooge hate Christmas. They want nothing to do with it. Both characters are angry, mean and dark.

这些是我们用于那些并不真正想要与圣诞节有任何关系的人的术语。 基本上，他们与我相反。 他们不想听圣诞音乐或看电影。 他们讨厌去圣诞购物。 他们认为这个假期更多带来的是不方便而不仅仅是一个欢乐的场合。 为什么我们称这些人为Grinch？ 还是Scrooge？ 这些都是流行圣诞电影中人物的名字

 

。 Grinch和Scrooge先生都讨厌圣诞节。 他们不想和它有任何关系。 两个角色都容易生气，卑鄙和黑暗。

 

So when I want to put on my ugly Christmas sweater, drink hot cocoa and watch Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and Cameron doing his best 撒娇, I can tell him, “Stop being a Grinch and get in the spirit of Christmas!” Just kidding. Cam doesn’t

撒娇. 因此，当我想穿上我丑陋的圣诞毛衣，喝热可可，看着红鼻子驯鹿鲁道夫和Cam做他最好的撒娇表情时，我可以告诉他，“别再当一个Grinch，要有圣诞节的精神！”开玩笑。

 

Cam不撒娇。

 

You can use this term during Chinese New Year. Let’s say a friend doesn’t want to eat any of the tasty food you prepared, you can say, “Quit being a Scrooge and eat dumplings with me!”.

 你可以在农历新年期间使用这个词。 假设一位朋友不想吃你准备的任何美味食物，你可以说，“别做一个Scrooge，和我一起吃饺子！”。

 

This the Season 正值节日

 In America, we talk a lot about the “holiday season”. The holiday season occurs around the time of Thanksgiving until Christmas. It’s about a month long duration. During this time, a lot of westerners experience the same things; big family get-togethers, eat a lot of food, the joys of holiday traffic on the road, long lines at stores, long breaks from school, girlfriend’s that 撒娇over engagement rings…. I think you get the idea. The phrase “this the season” is basically saying, it’s the season for whatever you are talking about. Anything that has to do with Christmas. Now, you could say this in a regular, more positive context. Like if I ask you if you want to make Christmas cookies with me, you might reply, “Sure! Tis the season!” Or when you’re stuck in traffic for hours because everyone is rushing home for the holiday you may sarcastically say, “Ah, this the season!”

在美国，我们谈论了很多关于“假日季节”的事。这段节日期间是感恩节到圣诞节期间。 它持续了大约一个月。 在这段时间里，很多西方人都经历过同样的事情; 大家庭聚会，吃了很多食物，路上假日交通堵塞的乐趣，商店排长队，学校长假，女朋友撒娇要订婚戒指....... 我想你应该已经明白了。 短语“这个季节”基本上是说，这是你所谈论的任何季节。 任何与圣诞节有关的事情。 现在，你可以在一个定期的，更积极的背景下说出这一点。 就像我问你是否想和我做圣诞饼干一样，你可以回答，“当然！是这个季节！“或者当你因为每个人都赶回家度假而你在交通堵塞几个小时后，你可能会讽刺地说，”啊，这是节日的氛围！“
