《圣诞颂歌》
《圣诞颂歌》是1843年查尔斯·狄更斯创作的小说,该小说是查尔斯·狄更斯三部圣诞小说之一。
该小说主要讲的是一个吝啬鬼的故事。 一个吝啬鬼积攒了很多钱,然而他却不舍得为职员的炉火加一块儿煤,他的侄子好意的邀请他参加圣诞夜的晚会,他却认为侄子是为了占他的便宜而推辞,社会活动者请他为穷人施舍一点圣诞的饭菜,也被他无情地断然拒绝。他晚上回到了家,被三个圣诞精灵造访:
“过去之灵”、“现在之灵”、“未来之灵”。
While-reading
“过去之灵”让他看到在孤单寂寞的童年生活中,他的姐姐对他倍加关爱的情景,以及他当学徒时,仁慈善良的老板菲茨威格在圣诞之夜和大家一起开心跳舞,款待员工的情形。“现在之灵”带他到他的一个属下家里的圣诞聚会上,那是一个拿着可怜薪水的小职员,没有圣诞礼物,没有火鸡,可每个人脸上都洋溢着幸福的微笑;“未来之灵”让他看到在他衰老之后病卧在床, 连圣诞节也没有亲人朋友来看望的孤苦景象。于是,他开始重新思考生活的意义,才发现原来施予比接受更快乐。这一切渐渐唤醒他人性的另一面——同情、仁慈、爱心及喜悦。瞬间,他那固有的自私及冷酷迅速崩塌,消失殆尽,从此变成了一个乐善好施的人。

think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all
these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of
sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in
A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.

the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner.

That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning — Christmas Day!
