可燊的圣诞日
兴奋了一个多月,终于到了圣诞节。可鑫和可燊平安夜久久不能入睡,圣诞节这天却早早就自己起床了。一起床,两姐妹就迫不及待奔向圣诞树去拆礼物。两个娃娃圣诞节这天简直乐翻了!
妈妈问可燊,圣诞节这么高兴,能不能写下来,念给我们公众号的读者听,让他们也一起乐呢?可燊爽快地答应了。小家伙最喜欢与人分享她的快乐。每次她参加了学校或朋友的派对,回家就会滔滔不绝地讲述她在派对中玩了什么,吃了什么。妈妈趁热打铁,让兴奋不已的小可燊练练笔。
六岁的小可燊认的字不少了,但能拼写正确的单词不多。这篇文章中的大部分单词是在妈妈的帮助下拼写的。下面让小可燊来讲讲她的圣诞节吧!

My Christmas Day
I had a lovely Christmas Day! In the morning, my sister and I couldn’t wait to open our presents under the Christmas tree and inside the stockings. We had so many presents, and we were jumping up and down with joy.
Our Great Grandpa and Great Grandma arrived at noon time.They would have Christmas Dinner with us. They brought us a lot of sweets, a Christmas pudding and a Christmas cake.
Mummy made a three-course meal. We had yummy mushroom soup with garlic bread for our first course. The second course was turkey, pigs in blankets, bacon, stuffing and loads of vegetable. Then we ate the Christmas pudding.
(大家入座吃头盘:奶油蘑菇汤和蒜香牛油烤面包)I was too full to move after the Christmas dinner, so I had to sit down and play with my new toys. The adults all sat down to watch a movie.
We ate Cheese, biscuits, Christmas cakes and chocolates in the evening.
We were allowed to go to bed late. This was the best day ever!

英国人在圣诞节也很喜欢送糖果作礼物。想到大家也许有兴趣了解一下英国人送礼的糖果。我们下面就请可燊来介绍我们圣诞节收到的部分糖果。介绍糖果对于可燊来说是一份美差。小馋猫讲糖果几乎跟吃糖果一样美呢!
(大家可在“英国文化园”公众号看到小可燊介绍糖果的视频)
下面我来给可燊介绍的糖果作一下注释:
Chocolate truffle: 一种有各种味道的巧克力软糖
Chocolate Snowman: 圣诞节期间有很多与圣诞有关造型的巧克力糖,如圣诞老人、驯鹿和雪人等等。人们常常买这些巧克力糖给小朋友。
Chocolate orange: 巧克力橙子(其实更像桔子,因为可以一片一片掰开)。这是用黑巧克力和纯橙油做的,吃起来橙味浓郁。
Chocolate bars: 巧克力条糖,有各种口味,有些有馅
Strong dark chocolate: 这种是高浓度可可黑巧克力。我称这种为真正的巧克力。前面所说的巧克力糖含可可量不高,糖份高,所以是巧克力口味的糖。高浓度可可黑巧克力中的可可含量高达70%和80%,糖份低。高浓度可可黑巧克力健康且可可味浓郁,是我的至爱。小宝贝用自己的零用钱买了一块,包得漂漂亮亮送给妈妈作圣诞礼物。
(两个娃娃在爷爷家包神秘圣诞礼物给爸爸妈妈。)Ferrero Rocher:意大利的金莎巧克力在英国也很受欢迎。特别在圣诞节,以其金碧辉煌的包装赢得英国人青睐。
Chocolate Cups: 造成小杯状的巧克力糖
Fox’s biscuits: 这是英国一个有名的饼干品牌。这个品牌的饼干有多种口味。它们的盒装饼干是很多英国人圣诞节选用的礼品。
