A So how’s everything going for Christmas? 圣誕節準備得怎么樣了?
B I’ve got all the presents I need, and my family is working together to get all the food ready. That’s easy; but I have another problem to deal with. 要的禮物我都準備好了，而且我們全家正在一起準備食物。那很容易，但我還有一個難題要處理。
A What’s that? Don’t tell me you’ve still got Christmas cards to write, it usually takes my wife a month to write all of ours. 什么事?不要告訴我你還有許多圣誕卡要寫;我妻子通常花一個月的時間寫好我們所有的圣誕卡。
B No, I did that a long time ago. It’s about telling my son the truth about Santa Claus. 不是，圣誕卡我早就寫完了。難題是怎樣告訴我兒子有關圣誕老人的實情。
A He still doesn’t know that Santa isn’t real? How old is he, eight? 他還不知道圣誕老人不是真的?他多大，八歲?
B Yes. He’s never said anything so I never told him. But now that he’s getting older… 是的，他從未說過什么，因此我也從未告訴過他。但現在他越來越大了……
A You think it’s better that he should be told? 你認為他應該知道實情比較好嗎?
B Yes, he’s too old to believe in that type of things. And I’d rather tell him before the kids at school do. 是的，他太大了，不應該相信那種事情。而且我寧愿在學校的孩子們告訴他以前告訴他。
A That happened to my oldest girl. She became really upset when her classmates told her Santa wasn’t real. 以前我的大女兒也是這樣。當她的同學告訴她圣誕老人不是真的時候，她變得很傷心。
B I can understand. I was lucky with my oldest; she figured it out by herself and didn’t tell my son. 我能理解。我幸運我的大女兒沒有這種麻煩，她自己猜出圣誕老人是假的，但沒有告訴我兒子。
A Well, when you tell him, be gentle. It’s hard for kids to find out something like that. 唔，那你告訴他時，溫和一點。對小孩來說，得知那樣的事是很難承受的。
