THE REAL FATHER CHRISTMAS
(1)Many people still remember the magic of Father Christmas from when they were children.As parents,they try to keep that magic alive① for their children for as long as② they can.
(2) That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard Christmas as③ a special time of year [1]. The man who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature④—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.
[1]本句是“That is why...”结构,意为“那就是……的原因”,why 引导的是表语从句,表语从句中又含有一个 who 引导的定语从句。句中的could表示一种不确定的语气。
(3)Every Christmas, an envelope⑤with a North Pole⑥ stamp arrived. It was addressed⑦ to Tolkien's children.Who could it be from? The children must have been very excited as they opened it [2]. Inside, they would find a handwritten⑧ letter from Father Chritmas. The letters were also beautifully illustrated⑨—each must have taken its true author,Tolkien, a long time to complete.
[2]此处是 as引导的时间状语从句。
[3]本句是“sth. takes sb. some time to do”结构句中的“ must have taken”是“must have done”结构,表示对已发生动作的肯定推测,意为“肯定做了某事”。
(4)The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas's life and adventures at the North Pole.A regulareq \o(○,\s\up1(10)) character in the letters was Polar⑪ Bear, who once climbed the North Pole (an actual pole in this case⑫)and fell through the roof⑬ of Father Christmas's house [4]. In another letter, Father Christmas complained ⑭about how he could not stop his helpers playing⑮ games with the toys instead of wrapping them up⑯. Interestingly,the letters did not contain the usual warnings⑰ to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good [5]. The letters did, however, change as Tolkien's children got older [6]:
...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 of⑱ poor and starving⑲ people. [7]
[4]此处是who 引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Polar Bear,who在定语从句中作主语。这里 who采用了拟人的修辞手法。
[5]此处是 that 引导的同位语从句,说明warnings的内容。该同位语从句被介词短语 to children分隔开了。
[6]此处助动词 did 用于强调谓语。
[7]本句的主干是祈使句 remember that.. .people;“if you find... as many as sometimes”是if引导的条件状语从句,这个从句中含有 that引导的宾语从句。
(5) Letters from Father Christmas tells us that as well as ⑳enjoying 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 [8].
[8]may have done表示立足于现在,对过去发生的事情的推测,意为“可能做了某事”。
参考译文
真正的圣诞老人
(1)许多人仍然记得孩童时代圣诞老人的魔法。父母会尽力让这样的魔法在孩子的生活里延续下去。
(2)那就是《圣诞老人书信集》对那些将圣诞节看作一年中特殊时刻的人来说可能是完美书籍的原因。书写这些信件的人是英国最著名文学家之一的约翰·罗纳德·瑞尔 ·托尔金,《指环王》的作者。通过这些信,托尔金让圣诞老人在他的四个孩子心中存活了20 多年。
(3)每年的圣诞节,一封贴着北极邮票的信都会寄来。这是寄给托尔金的孩子们的。这是谁寄来的呢?孩子们打开信的时候一定很兴奋。在信封里面,他们会看到一封来自圣诞老人的手写信。这些信都有漂亮的配图——每个一定花了其真正的作者——托尔金很长时间完成。
(4)这些信讲述了圣诞老人在北极的精彩生活故事和冒险事件。信中的固定角色是北极熊,他曾爬到北极柱(这里是一个真实的柱子),然后从圣诞老人家的屋顶掉了下去。在另一封信中,圣诞老人抱怨称他无法让助手们停止玩玩具,而让他们将玩具包起来。有趣的是,这些信中没有人们常向孩子发出的警告,说他们要是不乖,可能就不会得到礼物。不过,随着托尔金的孩子们逐渐长大,信的内容也发生了变化:
……但是,如果你发现自己想要的东西有很多没有来到,或者说可能没有有时候得到的那么多,请记住,圣诞节期间,世界各地还有无数的穷人和挨饿的人。
(5)《圣诞老人书信集》告诉我们,在欣赏圣诞老人、北极熊和在北极其他角色的冒险故事之余,也可以共同分享圣诞节真正的给予精神。以这样的特殊方式表达了对孩子的爱,或许托尔金就是真正的圣诞老人。
