Twas the Night Before Christmas (霍尔科姆:圣诞节前夜) - Susie Tallman (苏西·托曼)[00:00:00]
//[00:00:10]
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house[00:00:10]
这是圣诞节的前夜,整栋屋子[00:00:14]
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse[00:00:14]
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[00:00:18]
长筒袜被小心地挂在烟囱旁[00:00:21]
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there[00:00:21]
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[00:00:26]
孩子们依偎在舒适的床上[00:00:29]
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads[00:00:29]
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[00:00:32]
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[00:00:36]
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[00:00:40]
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[00:00:44]
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[00:00:47]
我一闪而过,跑向窗口[00:00:50]
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash[00:00:50]
拉开百叶窗,推开窗户[00:00:55]
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow[00:00:55]
月光洒落在刚下的雪上[00:00:58]
Gave the lustre of mid day to objects below[00:00:58]
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[00:01:02]
我惊奇的眼中出现的[00:01:06]
But a miniature sleigh and eight tinny reindeer[00:01:06]
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[00:01:11]
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[00:01:14]
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[00:01:18]
他的座驾比老鹰还要迅捷[00:01:21]
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name[00:01:21]

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

On Comet On Cupid on on Donner and Blitzen[00:01:30]
Comet,Cupid,Donner,Blitzen,前进[00:01:34]
To the top of the porch to the top of the wall[00:01:34]
飞过门廊,飞过墙头[00:01:37]
Now dash away dash away dash away all[00:01:37]
冲啊,全都向前冲啊[00:01:44]
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly[00:01:44]
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[00:01:48]
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[00:01:51]
驯鹿们就这样飞上了屋顶[00:01:55]
With the sleigh full of toys and St Nicholas too[00:01:55]

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

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof[00:02:03]
小蹄子腾跃踢踏的声音[00:02:06]
As I drew in my head and was turning around[00:02:06]

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

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

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow[00:02:42]
下巴上的胡须洁白如雪[00:02:47]
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth[00:02:47]
他嘴里紧叼着烟斗[00:02:50]
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath[00:02:50]

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

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

And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself[00:03:05]
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[00:03:09]
他一眨眼,一歪头[00:03:12]
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread[00:03:12]

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

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

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

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

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

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