圣誕節到啦,盤點10個國家的不同圣誕習俗

In the US, families love to set out treats for Santa on Christmas Eve.

美國家庭喜歡在平安夜為圣誕老人準備點心。

Most churches also hold candlelight services or midnight mass, which often include reenactments of the Nativity.

大多數教堂還會在午夜舉行燭光彌撒，通常包含耶穌降生場面的表演。

In Canada, families often open presents on Christmas Eve after mass. Others only open one and save the rest for Christmas Day.

加拿大家庭通常在平安夜做完彌撒之后打開禮物。還有些人只打開一個禮物，其余的禮物留到圣誕節當天打開。

Many French Canadians have a huge feast after Christmas Eve mass, called a Réveillon, which lasts into the wee hours of Christmas morning.

許多法裔加拿大人在平安夜彌撒后會舉行一場巨大的盛宴，這頓名為Réveillon的年夜飯會一直持續到圣誕節的凌晨。

The fast typically lasts until after evening service or when the stars come out. After the fast, some might eat a traditional Russian dish called kutya. Kutya consists of grains, honey, and poppy seeds, shared from the same bowl to symbolize unity. No meat is allowed.

齋戒通常持續到平安夜彌撒之后或星星出來之時。齋戒結束后，俄羅斯人會吃一道名為kutya的傳統俄羅斯菜，包括谷物、蜂蜜、罌粟籽，一家人都從一個碗里吃，以此象征團結。但是不能吃肉。

Christmas apples wrapped in cellophane are a popular holiday gift in China, which is said to be because the word "apple" sounds similar to "Christmas Eve" in Mandarin.

圣誕節的“平安果”就是用玻璃紙包好的蘋果，在中國是很流行的一種圣誕禮物。據說是因為蘋果的“蘋”和平安夜的“平”諧音。

A huge seafood and pasta dinner is tradition for Italians on Christmas Eve. The tradition of serving seven different seafood dishes stems from the Roman Catholic practice of abstaining from meat on Christmas Eve.

意大利人平安夜的傳統大餐有海鮮和面食。“七魚宴”上有七種不同的海鮮菜肴，吃海鮮的傳統源于羅馬天主教徒在平安夜不吃肉的做法。

In Denmark, people celebrate Christmas Day on December 24. The Danish also countdown to Christmas using Advent wreaths. Wreaths feature four candles, one candle lit every one of the four Sundays leading up to Christmas Eve.

丹麥人在12月24日慶祝圣誕節。丹麥人用降臨節花環來做圣誕節倒計時。降臨節花環上有四支蠟燭，平安夜前的四周，每個星期日點燃一支蠟燭。

Whereas many picture Christmas as a cozy, snowy holiday, Australians experience Christmas in the middle of summer. Australians often have cold Christmas dinners, and on Christmas Eve, fish markets are packed with people hoping to stock up on seafood before the holiday. Apparently pavlova is also a must as a Christmas dessert.

盡管很多人都將圣誕節描繪成下雪的溫馨節日，但澳大利亞人的圣誕節卻在盛夏。澳大利亞人通常在平安夜吃冷餐，圣誕節前魚市擠滿了囤海鮮的人。奶油蛋白甜餅是澳大利亞人必吃的圣誕甜點。

Beginning on December 16, children in Mexico go door-to-door asking if there's a symbolic "room at the inn," and on Christmas Eve, they are invited in to celebrate. The tradition is called posadas, and it concludes in Christmas parties full of food, drinks, and pinatas.

從12月16日開始，墨西哥孩子挨家挨戶地敲門問有沒有“旅館房間”，到了平安夜，孩子們會被邀請進門一起慶祝。這一傳統叫作波薩達斯巡游，巡游結束后人們會舉行圣誕派對，派對上有食物、飲料，還有傳統墨西哥彩色裝飾品pinatas，里面裝滿了糖果。

In Norway, families light a candle every night starting on Christmas Eve and ending on New Year's Day. Norwegians also often exchange presents on Christmas Eve.

挪威家庭從平安夜開始，每夜點燃一支蠟燭，一直到新年才結束。挪威人通常也在平安夜交換禮物。

The gifts are brought by Santa Claus or by small gnomes called Nisse, folkloric characters historically responsible for the prosperity of the farm and family who began being thought of as the bearers of Christmas gifts in the mid 19th century.

給人們送來禮物的有圣誕老人，還有小矮人尼森。傳說尼森小矮人在歷史上給農場和家庭帶來了繁榮，19世紀中期，尼森小矮人開始被挪威家庭視為圣誕禮物的搬運工。

Iceland has the tradition of exchanging books on Christmas Eve then spending the evening reading them. The holiday season starts off with the delivery of the Bokatidindi, which is a catalogue of every single book published in Iceland. The tradition began in during WWII. Paper was one of the few commodities not rationed, and Icelanders could indulge in their love of books (and in giving books as gifts) as they weren't in short supply.

冰島有在平安夜交換書籍和看書的傳統。冰島人的圣誕節是以寄出Bokatidindi開始的，Bokatidindi是在冰島出版的每一本書的商品目錄。該傳統是從二戰期間開始的。當時紙張是少數幾種沒有定量配給的商品，因為書籍供應充足，冰島人就可以盡情地讀書和送書當禮物。

圣誕樹上為什么要掛像腌黃瓜一樣的小飾品?

Every year, families across the US and the UK hang up quirky little pickle-shaped ornaments when it comes time to trim their Christmas trees.

每年圣誕節，美國和英國的家庭都會在圣誕樹上掛上新奇有趣的腌黃瓜狀小飾品。

The practice is favored by many English-speaking families, and is thought to be a centuries-old tradition brought over from Germany.

很多英語國家的家庭都喜歡在圣誕樹上掛腌黃瓜狀裝飾。據說這個傳統來自德國，已經有幾百年歷史。

The tradition involves hiding the pickle ornament among the branches, and rewarding the child who finds it with the chance to open gifts first — or, alternatively, that person simply gets good luck for the year.

人們把腌黃瓜形狀的裝飾品藏在圣誕樹的樹枝里，哪個孩子首先在圣誕節找出它，就可以最先拆開禮物，或者預示著來年運氣爆棚。

The origin of the tradition, however, is a bit murky.

但這個傳統的起源卻不太清楚。

In fact, it doesn't seem to have actually originated in Germany at all, since most Germans don't practice it.

其實這個傳統并非來自德國，因為大多數德國人并不會在圣誕樹上掛腌黃瓜狀飾品。

A 2016 New York Times article pointed to a YouGov poll, in which 2,057 Germans were asked about the Christmas pickle.

2016年《紐約時報》曾報道稱，輿觀調查網就圣誕樹掛腌黃瓜狀飾品的傳統，向2057位德國人展開了調查。

The survey found that 91 percent had never even heard of it.

調查發現，91%的受訪者從沒聽說過這個傳統。

Another theory is that the tradition of hanging a pickle didn't actually start in Germany, but with a German immigrant in the US.

另一種說法是，這一傳統并非源自德國，而是來自美國的一位德國移民。

According to a 2011 edition of Tampa Bay magazine, one legend goes that a German man named John Lower, who was born in Bavaria in 1842, moved to the US and became ill when he was in prison during the Civil War.

根據2011年《坦帕灣》雜志的一篇報道，有一種說法是，1842年出生在德國巴伐利亞約翰-洛厄來到美國后生病了，當時正處于美國內戰時期，他被囚禁在監獄里。

He convinced a guard to give him a pickle as a last meal, but he ended up surviving. After being released, he honored that pickle by starting his own family tradition of hiding a pickle in his Christmas tree for the kids — saying whoever found it would have the same good fortune he did.

他說服一名看守給了他一顆腌黃瓜作為最后的一餐，但他最終活了下來。在被釋放后，為了紀念這顆腌黃瓜，他開始在家中過圣誕節時在圣誕樹里藏一顆腌黃瓜給孩子們尋找，還說誰找到就會有和他一樣的好運。

Of course, that story is also unconfirmed, and could just be a tale that popped up to explain the pickles later on.

當然，這個說法也未經證實，僅能作為解釋圣誕樹掛腌黃瓜狀飾品這種傳統的一個傳說故事。

According to Wide Open Country, the whole pickle game was most likely a marketing ploy to sell German glass ornaments to Americans.

根據《開闊的國家》報道，這一傳統很可能是把德國的玻璃飾品賣到美國的一種銷售策略。

It was said to be concocted by F.W. Woolworth when the store began importing the ornaments in 1880. Each one would come with a card that told the story of the tradition.

據稱，這一傳統是伍爾沃斯公司創造出來的。在1880年，這家商店開始進口飾品。每件飾品都附帶有一張卡片，講述這個圣誕傳統的故事。

Whether the tradition is real or manufactured, pickle ornaments have become quite ubiquitous.

不管這個傳統來自真實事件，還是被杜撰的，在圣誕樹掛腌黃瓜狀飾品已經非常流行。

While whimsical foodie ornaments shaped like avocado toast, hot sauce, pancakes, and ramen have become popular in recent years, pickle ornaments aren't just a fad.

盡管近年來開始流行在圣誕樹上掛新奇的食物狀飾品，比如形似牛油果吐司、辣醬、薄烤餅和拉面的裝飾品，但在圣誕樹掛腌黃瓜狀飾品一直流傳至今。

紫禁城里過大年! 故宮將舉辦賀歲展覽!

A special exhibition will be held by China's Palace Museum to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, Xinhua reports.

據新華社報道，為慶祝即將到來的春節，故宮博物院將舉辦一場特別展覽。

Starting January 6, 2019, the first of the twelfth lunar month in Chinese calendar, a record-breaking number of around 1,000 antique items will reportedly be displayed at the famed museum.

本次展覽將于2019年1月6日開幕，正值農歷臘月初一，破紀錄的近千件文物將在這個著名的博物館展出。

The former record is currently held by the 1935 International Exhibition of Chinese Art in London, where 735 antiques from the museum were showcased.

之前的紀錄是由1935年在倫敦舉行的“中國藝術國際展覽會”保持的，共展出了735件文物。

The exhibition will be divided into six areas, fully displaying the customs of the Chinese New Year during the Qing Dynasty, with an open area decorated with historical customs of the dynasty and restored "royal" festival celebration activities.

本次展覽將分為六大主題，全面展現清代宮廷過年習俗。在一個開放的區域里裝飾著清代的歷史習俗，重現“皇家”節日慶祝活動。

"The exhibition will not only present the visitors with antique collections, but will also allow the audience to immerse themselves in the cultural atmosphere of ancient China," said Shan Jixiang, curator of the museum.

故宮博物院院長單霽翔表示：“這次展覽不僅將向參觀者展示文物收藏品，而且還將使觀眾沉浸在中國古代的文化氛圍中。”

During the exhibition, the museum will be embellished with traditional Chinese New Year decorations such as Spring Festival couplets and lanterns.

在展覽期間，故宮博物院將用中國傳統的新年裝飾品--如春聯和燈籠來進行裝飾。
