对话文本


Jeff: What are you going to buy me for Xmas, Joan?

Joan: You know that I don't really celebrate Christmas Jeff.

Jeff: I thought everyone celebrates Xmas?

Joan: Not really. Although it started as a winter festival, over the last 2,000 years it has become more of a religious festival.

Jeff: And because you are not religious, you don't buy your friends gifts?

Joan: That's not quite true. I do buy small gifts for some friends.

Jeff: So what will you buy for me?

Joan: How about a book? I will buy you the history of Christmas so you can learn something.

Jeff: Save your money. I just head for Xianzai.com for the things I need to know!

参考翻译


杰夫：圣诞节你要买什么送我，琼？

琼：你知道我不怎么过圣诞节，杰夫。

杰夫：我还以为每个人都庆祝圣诞节呢？

琼：不见得。虽然起初它是个冬天的节日，不过在过去的2000年里它变得更像是一个宗教节日。

杰夫：而且因为你不信教，所以你就不给朋友买礼物？

琼：倒不是这样。我确实给一些朋友买小礼物。

杰夫：那你会给我买什么？

琼：一本书怎么样？我会给你买一本有关圣诞节历史的书，这样你就可以学点东西。

杰夫：省下你的钱吧。要学东西我只要去找现在网就行了.
