[00:00:00] Twas the Night Before Christmas (霍尔科姆：圣诞节前夜) - Susie Tallman (苏西·托曼)

[00:00:10] //

[00:00:10] Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house

[00:00:14] 这是圣诞节的前夜，整栋屋子

[00:00:14] Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse

[00:00:18] 四下里静悄悄，连一只老鼠也没有

[00:00:18] The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

[00:00:21] 长筒袜被小心地挂在烟囱旁

[00:00:21] In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there

[00:00:26] 希望圣尼古拉斯很快就会到来

[00:00:26] The children were nestled all snug through their beds

[00:00:29] 孩子们依偎在舒适的床上

[00:00:29] While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads

[00:00:32] 梦中的糖果在脑海中跳起舞

[00:00:32] And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap

[00:00:36] 妈妈戴着头巾，我也戴着睡帽

[00:00:36] Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap

[00:00:40] 只是让脑袋保持舒适的状态，以度过一段漫长的冬日小憩

[00:00:40] When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter

[00:00:44] 屋外的草坪上传来清脆的声响

[00:00:44] I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter

[00:00:47] 我从床上一跃而起，想去看个究竟

[00:00:47] Away to the window I flew like a flash

[00:00:50] 我一闪而过，跑向窗口

[00:00:50] Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash

[00:00:55] 拉开百叶窗，推开窗户

[00:00:55] The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow

[00:00:58] 月光洒落在刚下的雪上

[00:00:58] Gave the lustre of mid day to objects below

[00:01:02] 赋予地上万物如同午后阳光般的光泽

[00:01:02] When what to my wondering eyes should appear

[00:01:06] 我惊奇的眼中出现的

[00:01:06] But a miniature sleigh and eight tinny reindeer

[00:01:11] 竟是一个小型雪橇和八只小驯鹿

[00:01:11] With a little old driver so lively and quick

[00:01:14] 还有一个驾车的小老头，那么活泼明快

[00:01:14] I knew in a moment it must be St Nick

[00:01:18] 我马上就明白了，这一定是圣诞老人

[00:01:18] More rapid than eagles his coursers they came

[00:01:21] 他的座驾比老鹰还要迅捷

[00:01:21] And he whistled and shouted and called them by name

[00:01:26] 他打着呼哨，大声喊着它们的名字

[00:01:26] Now Dasher now Dancer now Prancer and Vixen

[00:01:30] Dasher，Dancer，Prancer，Vixen，就是现在

[00:01:30] On Comet On Cupid on on Donner and Blitzen

[00:01:34] Comet，Cupid，Donner，Blitzen，前进

[00:01:34] To the top of the porch to the top of the wall

[00:01:37] 飞过门廊，飞过墙头

[00:01:37] Now dash away dash away dash away all

[00:01:44] 冲啊，全都向前冲啊

[00:01:44] As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly

[00:01:48] 像是枯叶被狂野的飓风吹得飞转

[00:01:48] When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky

[00:01:51] 当他们遇到阻碍，便飞向天空

[00:01:51] So up to the house top the coursers they flew

[00:01:55] 驯鹿们就这样飞上了屋顶

[00:01:55] With the sleigh full of toys and St Nicholas too

[00:01:59] 雪橇载着满满的玩具和圣尼古拉斯

[00:01:59] And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof

[00:02:03] 然后一眨眼的功夫，我听到屋顶传来

[00:02:03] The prancing and pawing of each little hoof

[00:02:06] 小蹄子腾跃踢踏的声音

[00:02:06] As I drew in my head and was turning around

[00:02:11] 当我脑海中幻想着，转过身来

[00:02:11] Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound

[00:02:15] 圣尼古拉斯从烟囱一跃而下

[00:02:15] He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot

[00:02:19] 他从头到脚都穿着皮毛衣服

[00:02:19] And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot

[00:02:23] 衣服上布满了灰尘和烟灰的污点

[00:02:23] A bundle of toys he had flung on his back

[00:02:26] 他背着一包玩具

[00:02:26] And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack

[00:02:30] 他看起来像个小贩，打开了他的背包

[00:02:30] His eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry

[00:02:34] 他的眼睛闪闪发亮，他的酒窝绽放如花

[00:02:34] His cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry

[00:02:39] 他的面颊好似玫瑰，他的鼻子就像樱桃

[00:02:39] His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow

[00:02:42] 他滑稽的小嘴像一张弯弓

[00:02:42] And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow

[00:02:47] 下巴上的胡须洁白如雪

[00:02:47] The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth

[00:02:50] 他嘴里紧叼着烟斗

[00:02:50] And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath

[00:02:54] 烟雾像花环一样盘旋在头上

[00:02:54] He had a broad face and a little round belly

[00:02:57] 他有着宽宽的脸庞和圆圆的肚皮

[00:02:57] That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly

[00:03:01] 当他哈哈大笑，抖得像一碗果冻

[00:03:01] He was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf

[00:03:05] 他圆润又丰满，是个快活的老顽童

[00:03:05] And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself

[00:03:09] 当我看到他便忍不住大笑

[00:03:09] A wink of his eye and a twist of his head

[00:03:12] 他一眨眼，一歪头

[00:03:12] Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread

[00:03:16] 很快就让我明白，我没什么好怕的

[00:03:16] He spoke not a word but went straight to his work

[00:03:19] 他一句话也没说，只是直奔他的工作

[00:03:19] And filled all the stockings then turned with a jerk

[00:03:23] 装满每一个长筒袜，然后急忙转身

[00:03:23] And laying his finger aside of his nose

[00:03:26] 他把手指放在鼻子边上

[00:03:26] And giving a nod up the chimney he rose

[00:03:30] 点了点头，爬上了烟囱

[00:03:30] He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle

[00:03:35] 他跳上雪橇，向驯鹿队吹了声口哨

[00:03:35] And away they all flew like the down of a thistle

[00:03:39] 然后飞走了，就像一朵飘落的蓟花

[00:03:39] But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight

[00:03:43] 在他驶出我的视线之前，我听到他大声说

[00:03:43] Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

[00:03:48] 祝大家圣诞快乐，祝大家晚安好梦
