Traditionally, it was a chance to give thanks for a good harvest. Now, it is also a time for families to get together for a big dinner. 感恩节主要在北美，在10月或11月庆祝。传统上，这是一个感谢好收成的机会。现在，这也是家人聚在一起吃一顿丰盛晚餐的时刻。 May Day主要在乡村地区庆祝，今天英国仍有很多地方保留着这个传统。庆祝活动包括在田野中采集鲜花编成Garland（花环），在村庄市镇的居民中挑选一位May Queen，由大家抬着游行。 May Day这天，人们还会在空旷的地方竖起一根高大的木杆，叫做 Maypole，大家团团围着跳舞，祈求人畜兴旺。 May Day is a festival to celebrate the start of summer, with celebrations held across Europe and in parts of North America. People prepare decorations with flowers and dance around maypoles. 五一节是庆祝夏天开始的节日，整个欧洲和北美部分地区都会举行庆祝活动。人们用鲜花做装饰，围着五月花柱跳舞。 船只和飞机在用无线电通讯时，所使用的国际通用的distress call（呼救信号），也是Mayday，但这个词语和May Day（五月节）完全无关，而是源于法语中的venez m'aider，相当于英语的come and help me。 1994年4月26日至29日是南非历史上第一次没有种族、性别歧视、肤色等因素干扰的大选，被誉为300多年来南非黑人首次享有投票权的大选。 诺贝尔和平奖（Nobels fredspri） Freedom Day is held every year on 27 April to celebrate South Africa's first fully-participated elections in 1994, in which everyone was allowed to vote regardless of skin colour.

Book Review Book Review Book Review 1. Many people still remember the magic of Father Christmas from when they were children. As parents, they try to keep that magic alive for their children for as long as they can. 1. 许多人仍然记得圣诞老人的魔力，从他们还是孩子的时候。作为父母，他们尽可能地为孩子们保持这种魔力。 keep...alive... 使......保持生机/活力 Para. 1 圣诞老人的魔力。 2. That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard Christmas as a special time of year. The man who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature -- J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings. The letters were Tolkien's way of keeping Father Christmas alive for his four children, over a period of more than twenty years. 2. 这就是为什么对于那些把圣诞节视为一年中特殊时刻的人来说，《圣诞老人来信》可能是一本完美的书。写这些信的人是英国文学界最著名的名字之一——J.R.R.托尔金，《指环王》的作者。这些信是托尔金在20多年的时间里，让他的四个孩子都能感受到圣诞老人的存在。 Para. 2 圣诞老人的来信。 3. Every Christmas, an envelop with a North Pole stamp arrived. It was addressed to Tolkien's children. Who could it be from? The children must have been very excited as they opened it. Inside, they would find a handwritten letter from Father Christmas. The letters were also beautifully illustrated - each must have taken its true author, Tolkien, a long time to complete. 3.每年圣诞节，都会收到一个贴着北极邮票的信封。信是写给托尔金的孩子们的。会是谁寄来的呢?孩子们打开它的时候一定很兴奋。在里面，他们会发现一封来自圣诞老人的手写信。这些信件的插图也很漂亮——每封信的真正作者托尔金一定花了很长时间才完成。 Para. 3 用心写信。 4. The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas's life and adventures at the North Pole. A regular character in the letters was Polar Bear, who once climbed the North Pole (an actual pole in this case) and fell through the roof of Father Christmas's house. In another letter, Father Christmas complained about how he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up. 4. 这些信讲述了圣诞老人在北极的生活和冒险的精彩故事。信中一个经常出现的角色是北极熊，他曾经爬上北极(在信中，北极是一根真的杆子)，结果摔下来砸穿了圣诞老人家的屋顶。在另一封信中，圣诞老人抱怨说，他那些助手非但没有把玩具包装起来，反而拿着玩具玩起了游戏，他怎么也没法让他们停下来。 Para. 4 信中讲述了圣诞老人在北极生活和探险的精彩的故事。 Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good. The letters did, however, change as Tolkien's children got older: ...but if you find that not many of the things you asked for have come, and not perhaps quite as many as sometimes, remember that this Christmas all over the world there are a terrible number of poor and starving people. 有趣的是，这些信件并没有像往常一样警告孩子们，如果他们表现不好就可能收不到礼物。然而，随着托尔金的孩子们长大，这些信也发生了变化: .．.但是，如果你发现你所要的东西并没有很多收到，也许还没有有时收到的那么多，请记住，这个圣诞节，全世界有大量的穷人和饥饿的人。 5. Letters from Father Christmas tells us that as well as enjoying the adventures of Father Christmas, Polar Bear and other characters at the North Pole, we can all share the true spirit of giving at Christmas time. By expressing love for his children in such a special way, Tolkien may indeed have been the real Father Christmas. 5. 来自圣诞老人的信告诉我们，除了享受圣诞老人、北极熊和其他角色在北极的冒险，我们都可以在圣诞节分享真正的奉献精神。通过这种特别的方式表达对孩子们的爱，托尔金可能真的是真正的圣诞老人。 Para. 5 真正的圣诞老人。 1.
