And we re-introduce our children to Clement Moore's classic poem, "A Visit From Saint Nicholas."
我们再次向我们的孩子介绍Clement Moore的经典诗歌“圣尼古拉斯来访”。
Sad to say, though, that while gift-giving is still an integral part of the holidays, you don't see many contented shoppers.
然而可悲的是，虽然送礼物仍是假期的重要组成部分，但是你不会看到很多满意的顾客。

我承认被打败了，carol--唱颂歌， 我只记得在高二的课本见过一次，由于不喜欢看英美文化方面的内容，这个单词几乎接触不到。sleigh这个单词听的时候我脑海中只浮现出了"slay"----杀戮。miniature这个单词以前确实不会。还有就是先行词that好多英美人读的都很清，不特意听真的很难听见。作者: sama 时间: 2011-12-7 20:36
