圣诞Christmas[英][ˈkrisməs] [美][ˈkrɪsməs] 中英文小故事：冰上圣诞宴 豪先生是个有钱的商人，他住的大房子濒临一条风景优美的大河。 这条河冬天经常结冰。有一年它很早就结冰了，在圣诞节前，河里就结上了厚厚的冰层。人们能轻易地从冰上走过，还有一些胆大的人在车轮上绑上链条，开车从冰上驶过。 看着冰层，豪先生的脑海里冒出了一个念头。他决定把起居室里所有的家具和地毯都搬到冰上，四周都挂上漂亮的彩灯，人们将在此举办一个美妙的盛会。于是他给所有重要的朋友都发了邀请函。圣诞节那天朋友们都来到了他家，然后走到冰上。客人个个兴致勃勃。他们可以欣赏周围美丽的乡村风光，同时又可以享受舒适的椅子、地毯、仆人的侍奉、美食和充足的酒水，他们都认为豪先生在冰上开宴会的点子妙极了。 宴会一直开到深夜，当最后一批客人愉快地告别后，豪先生庆幸自己开了一场非常成功的宴会。 他一天下来喝了很多酒，所以第二天早上醒得很晚。事实上，将近中午的时候他才起床。他向窗外望去，瞧一眼前一天宴会的场景。眼前的情景让他怀疑自己是不是还在做梦！他闭上眼睛，又睁开，然而眼前的一切是那样真真切切，不容置疑！在昨天夜里，也许是今天早晨，冰已经融化了。起居室里所有的家具、地毯和彩灯都随波漂到海里去了！ Christmas Party on Ice Mr. Hall was a rich businessman and lived in a big house beside a beautiful river. Now, this river usually froze over in winter, and one year it did this very early, so that by Christmas time it was covered with really thick ice. One could walk across it easily and some brave people had even crossed it in motorcars with chains on their wheels. The sight of this ice gave Mr. Hall an idea. He decid eel to have all the furniture and carpets in his living-room carried out onto the ice. He would have pretty colored lights hung all around，and they would have a wonderful party. So he sent out invitations to all his important friends, and on Christmas Day they all began to arrive at his house and then go down to the ice. They were all in very good spirits and thought that it had been a wonderful idea of Mr. Hall s to have a party on the ice，surrounded by the beautiful scenery of that part of the country, but at the same time，with all the comforts of armchairs，carpets, servants, good food and plenty of drinks. The party went on until late at night, and as the last guests said their merry goodbyes, Mr. Hall congratulated himself on a very successful party. He had drunk rather a lot during the day，so he did not wake up very early the next morning. In fact, it was nearly midday before he got up and looked out of the window at the scene of the previous day’s party. What he saw there made him wonder whether he was still dreaming! He closed his eyes，opened them again, but there was no mistake! The ice had broken up during the night or in the early hours of the morning and had carried all his living-room furniture, carpets and colored lights out to sea with it! 中英文例句 1.
