🎅紅白色聖誕老人的前世今生
The real reason Father Christmas wears red and white
🎄 Why, after all, does Santa Claus wear red and white?
聖誕老人給人的印象,是一個穿著紅白色大衣的老人,但聖誕老人這個形象是甚麼時候開始的?
Many people will tell you that the modern Santa is dressed to match the red-and-white colors of a can of Coke, and was popularized by Coca Cola's advertising in the 1930s.
許多人會說,聖誕老人的衣服在1930年代被設計為紅白兩種顏色,是為了與可口可樂的罐子設計一致。
A good story, but the red-and-white Santa himself wasn't created to advertise Coca-Cola - why, he was touting the rival beverage White Rock back in 1923. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was the one who was invented as a marketing gimmick.
可口可樂公司當時的確有為宣傳可樂創造一個卡通人物,但那是紅鼻子馴鹿魯道夫,而不是身穿紅白衣服的聖誕老人──他1923年就已經誕生,當時是為了宣傳可口可樂的競爭對手White Rock汽水。
🤶 The modern Santa Claus is actually much older, a patchwork character woven together from different sources. These include Saint Nicholas, a 4th Century Greek bishop - who famously wore red robes while giving gifts to the poor, especially children - and the English folk figure "Father Christmas", whose original green robes turned red over time.
現代聖誕老人是用不同歷史人物的故事拼湊而成。這包括一名4世紀的 #希臘主教 聖尼古拉斯,許多神話都記載他身穿紅色外衣給窮人派禮物。另外,聖誕老人的部份特色來自英國神話故事人物 #聖誕神父,他原本身穿綠色外衣,但漸漸變成紅色。
The Santa we know also owes much to the Dutch figure Sinterklaas - also based on Saint Nicholas - whose legend flourished in the once-Dutch city of New York, popular with prosperous Manhattanites such as Washington Irving and Clement Clarke Moore in the early 1800s.
但對現代聖誕老人形象影響最深遠的,是受希臘主教聖尼古拉斯的一個荷蘭神話故事人物。他的中文譯名也是 #聖尼古拉斯,在曾經是荷蘭殖民地的紐約市十分流行,受歐文和穆爾等住在紐約曼克頓的作家歡迎。
🎁 It was in the 1820s, too, that advertisements for Christmas presents became common in the United States.
而在穆爾的同一個年代,美國零售商為了 #清理年末積壓下來的存貨,開始用廣告鼓勵大眾給其他人買聖誕禮物。
By the 1840s, Santa himself was a frequent commercial icon in advertisements. Retailers, after all, had to find some way to clear their end-of-year stock. The gift-giving tradition took firm hold.
到了1840年代,這些廣告經常都有聖誕老人出現,令聖誕節變成一個消費節日的傳統更為根深蒂固。
In Boston in 1867, 10,000 people paid to see Charles Dickens give readings of his Christmas Carol - a story light on biblical details and heavy on the idea of generosity.
1867年的底特律,約1萬人排隊買票,就是為了聽英國著名小說家狄更斯朗讀他的小說 #聖誕頌歌(又譯《小氣財神》),內容主要宣揚無私、慷慨解囊的精神。
想知道《小婦人》中,哪一句名言奠定了現代聖誕節的贈禮傳統嗎?

1⃣(like) two peas in a pod / alike as two peas in a pod
2⃣ thick as pea soup
3⃣ pea-brained
--
The British love their peas, and they brought this love with them when they colonized North America. Americans have not only inherited this taste for peas, but also several pea-related idioms.
英國人愛豌豆,所以在殖民時期把這項食物帶到了北美洲。美國人不只是繼承了這個愛吃豌豆的習性,也在語言中延用了好幾個跟豌豆有關的諺語。
One of these is 1⃣ “(like) two peas in a pod” or “alike as two peas in a pod”. When you open a pea pod, what do you notice? All the peas inside are very similar. So the expression is used to describe two people or things being very similar, especially in appearance. Ex: Cynthia and her twin sister are two peas in a pod.
其中一個是 (like) two peas in a pod 或可以說 alike as two peas in a pod(碗裡的兩顆豌豆),這個諺語是用來描述某兩人或兩樣物品實在像到無法分辨,尤其是指外觀上。如:Cynthia and her twin sister are two peas in a pod.(辛西亞跟她的雙胞胎根本長的一模一樣。)
Another idiom is 2⃣ “thick as pea soup,” which is used to describe fog. Ex: The fog that rolled in from the bay was thick as pea soup. Interestingly, this expression originated in 19th century London, which was often covered in a thick yellow-green smog—caused by the burning of coal—that looked like pea soup.
另一個諺語是 thick as pea soup(跟豌豆湯一樣濃),用來形容「霧濃到看不清楚」,如:The fog that rolled in from the bay was thick as pea soup.(灣上的霧濃到什麼都看不到。)有趣的是,其實這個用語是起源於十九世紀的倫敦,當時倫敦經常被一片黃綠色的霧霾籠罩著,這團霧霾其實是因為燃燒煤炭而產生,顏色剛好就跟豌豆湯一樣。
But Americans have also come up with their own pea-related expressions. One of the most common is 3⃣ “pea-brained.” Considering the small size of a pea, you can probably guess that pea-brained means “stupid or foolish.” Ex: My pea-brained coworker can’t seem to do anything right.
不過美國人也有專屬自己的豌豆諺語喔。其中一個最常聽到的就是 pea-brained(豌豆腦)。想想看豌豆的大小,你大概就明白,pea-brained 其實說人「蠢笨的」,類似中文的「金魚腦」的概念。如:My pea-brained coworker can’t seem to do anything right.(我那同事的腦就只有豌豆般大小,啥事都做不好。)

前往美國-遊覽新墨西哥州的阿布奎基
#TravaltoAmerica --- Visit Albuquerque, New Mexico
建議您去一次“迷人之地”(Land of Enchantment),遊覽一下新墨西哥州的阿布奎基(Albuquerque)吧。阿布奎基位於美國西南,那裡的活動豐富多彩。我們建議大家前往:
1)普布羅原住民文化中心(Indian Pueblo Cultural Center)以及自然歷史博物館。兩者都位於老城區,可以幫你了解該地區獨特的文化和歷史。
2)阿布奎基國際氣球節—世界最大的氣球節,有800多個熱氣球浮在空中。
3)桑迪亞山頂纜車(Sandia Peak Tram)—觀賞新墨西哥州360度全景。纜車將游人帶到10378英尺的高度,觀賞令人窒息的美景。
4)帳篷岩(Tent Rocks)—驅車向北不遠,就到達卡莎-卡圖威帳篷岩國家紀念公園(Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument),一片美麗的岩層。
另外附上小提醒,如果服務員問你“紅的還是綠的?”,這是在問你要哪種辣椒,這種問法在當地很普遍。綠辣椒是剛從藤上摘下來的新鮮的,在藤上再多長一段時間它們就變成紅的了。紅辣椒是曬乾用來做醬的。兩種各有獨特風味,而且一樣辣。你想嘗哪種辣椒?更多詳情英文請見:http://www.visitalbuquerque.org/ 或中文:https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/阿布奎基_(新墨西哥州)
Make a trip to the Land of Enchantment and visit Albuquerque, New Mexico. Located in the Southwestern part of the United States, Albuquerque is brimming with activities. We encourage you to check out the 1.) Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the Natural History Museum – both are located in the Old Town district and can provide insight into the unique culture and history of the region; 2.) Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta – the largest balloon fiesta in the world, with over 800 hot air balloons in flight; 3.) Sandia Peak Tram - Take a 360 degree panoramic view of New Mexico, the tram takes visitors to 10,378 feet, where the most breath taking views are offered 3.) Tent Rocks – just a short drive North, visit the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, a beautiful collection rock formation. And a word of advice for when you waiter asks Red or Green? This is a common way to ask which type of chili peppers you prefer. Green chili is fresh from the vine, and the same chili turns red after it sits on the vine. Red chili is dried and blended into a sauce. Both offer a unique flavor and each are equally spicy. Which kind of chili will you try? For more information, see (eng): http://www.visitalbuquerque.org/ or (ch): https://goo.gl/yx8qum
