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。
