A：So how’s everything going for Christmas?圣诞节准备得怎么样了?

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.要的礼物我都准备好了，而且我们全家正在一起准备食物。那很容易，但我还有一个难题要处理。

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?不要告诉我你还有许多圣诞卡要写;我妻子通常花一个月的时间写好我们所有的圣诞卡。

B：No, I did that a long time ago. It’s about telling my son the truth about Santa Claus.不是，圣诞卡我早就写完了。难题是怎样告诉我儿子有关圣诞老人的实情。

A：He still doesn’t know that Santa isn’t real? How old is he, eight?他还不知道圣诞老人不是真的?他多大，八岁?

B：Yes. He’s never said anything so I never told him. But now that he’s getting older…是的，他从未说过什么，因此我也从未告诉过他。但现在他越来越大了……

A：You think it’s better that he should be told?你认为他应该知道实情比较好吗?

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，不应该相信那种事情。而且我宁愿在学校的孩子们告诉他以前告诉他。

A：That happened to my oldest girl. She became really upset when her classmates told her Santa wasn’t real.以前我的大女儿也是这样。当她的同学告诉她圣诞老人不是真的时候，她变得很伤心。

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。我幸运我的大女儿没有这种麻烦，她自己猜出圣诞老人是假的，但没有告诉我儿子。

A：Well, when you tell him, be gentle. It’s hard for kids to find out something like that.唔，那你告诉他时，温和一点。对小孩来说，得知那样的事是很难承受的。
