有关节日的英语对话

Michael: I love Xmas!

Billy: What is your favorite aspect of the Christmas season Michael?

Michael: I love to see the fact that people are happy, peaceful and looking forward to their holidays.

Billy: What about all of the decorations? What about the carolers in the streets and the frenzied shoppers hunting for last minute bargains?

Michael: I do like all of those things but my favorite part of Xmas is the good cheer of everyone.

Billy: You know that not everyone celebrates Xmas though?

Michael: Yes, but it seems that the good Xmas mood has a positive effect on all people.

Billy: Maybe we should find a way to make it Xmas everyday!

迈克尔：我喜欢圣诞节！

比利：你最喜欢圣诞季节的哪一个方面，迈克尔？

迈克尔：我喜欢看到人们快乐、祥和并且在期盼着节日的到来。

比利：所有那些装饰品怎么样？街上那些唱圣诞颂歌的人们还有那些等到最后一分钟疯狂买便宜货的人们呢？

迈克尔：我确实都喜欢所有这些东西，不过圣诞节我最喜欢的一个部分是每个人都兴高采烈。

比利：可是你知道并不是人人都庆祝圣诞节吗？

迈克尔：知道，不过好像圣诞节的美好气氛对所有人都产生正面影响。

比利：也许我们应该寻找一种方法，把每一天都变成圣诞节！

Michael: It seems that the whole world has gone Christmas mad!

Billy: Why do you say that Michael?

Michael: Everywhere I look I see Xmas decorations and everywhere I go I hear Xmas carols!

Billy: Well, decorations and carols and two important aspects of the Christmas festival.

Michael: What about Xmas cards? Have you sent yours yet?

Billy: You know that I am always well organized. I bought cards in July, arranged my address book in September, wrote the cards in November and posted them two weeks ago.

Michael: What about your Xmas shopping? I bet you have not finished that yet!

Billy: I did all of that July during the sales, so I could save a fortune.

Michael: I have so much to learn!
