圣诞节的真正意义
The Real Meaning of Christmas
It is that that time of the year again. December has come and with it all the joy of Christmas. But what is the real meaning of Christmas?
Is it all the lights and decorated trees?
Is it the gifts under the tree and Santa Claus?
Is it Turkey Dinners with Family and Friends?
Is it the time to give and receive gifts and go shopping numerous times to the malls because of the discounted pricing to buy presents?
Is it the time to get together with the Family?
岁末又到了,一年就这样过去。伴随着一年一度的圣诞节到来,整个12月充满了欢乐。但圣诞节真正的意义是什么呢?
是布置好应节的灯和圣诞树吗?
是在圣诞树下的礼物和圣诞老人?
是与家人和朋友丰盛的火鸡晚餐?
是互相送赠和接受礼物,经常往返在打折商场里面疯狂购物?
还是一个与家人相聚的节日呢?
All of these things happen during this season which really starts during Thanksgiving on the last Weekend at the end of November and ends December 26.
But is this Christmas what is all about? Or what is the reason of these celebrations?
Most people get confused on the meaning of Christmas. While all of these things happen, most people believe it is all about the lights, decorated trees and Santa Claus, and only a commercial reason!
But the real meaning is totally different …………….
从11月末的感恩节持续到12月26日,以上所有的这些事物,都会在这个冬季里面一一发生。
但这就是圣诞节的全部吗?或者说,是因为什么的原因才会生成这些庆祝活动呢?
很多人不理解或者对圣诞节背后的意义感觉困惑。当这些事物都出现的时候,大多数人就相信圣诞节其实就是满大街挂满灯、圣诞树还有圣诞老人的一个节日,只是一个商业的日子。
圣诞节日的真正意义,完全不是他们理解的那样...............
For many people it actually is a time of sorrow. They may not have enough money to buy presents for their children, family or friends. Many are sadden because their loved ones may not be able to come home for various reasons.
Turkey or nice dinners may only be a wish and not reality for some people. Yet Christmas can be a season of great joy.
对许多人来说,这一日会有伤心的时刻。他们或许没有足够的钱买礼物给他们的孩子、家人或朋友。还有许多人伤感于亲人由于各种各样的原因无法团聚。火鸡大餐或一顿美味的晚餐,对好一些人来说可能只是一个愿望而不是现实。即便如此,圣诞仍然是充满喜悦的季节。
In reality it is a time that all Christians of the world celebrate by God showing his great love for us. It is a time of healing and to renew strength. Christmas is a time when people celebrate the birth of Christ. God sent his son Jesus, into the world to be born and bring great joy to it.
因为事实上,圣诞节是全世界所有基督徒庆祝神为世人施展大爱,救赎和更新力量的时刻,是人们庆祝基督诞生的节日,神差遣祂的儿子耶稣来带世间,为人间带来巨大的喜悦。
So with this said it is really a season related to religion of all Christians of the world.
The world has found a way to make this season or time of the year different in certain sense. And has been commercialized in this way I mention above.
所以说,这是一个与全世界基督教徒有关的节日。
现在世界各国已经让这节日成为一年特别的时刻,让它拥有不同的意义,以及变得如前文所述的商业化。
During Christmas is a time of Joy, Peace, Spirituality, Family Reunions, Sharing, Celebration, many many positive things!
圣诞节是一个欢乐的、和平的、有灵性、家人团聚的、分享的、庆祝的,以及有许多积极的事情发生的一个时节!
So I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas!
在这里,祝愿大家圣诞快乐!Merry Christmas!
