瑩瑩花語 京燕花園
京城燕子的小花園
'Twas the Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. 
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name! 
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!" 
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with the obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow. 
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to the sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
附上：京燕兒譯的打油詩《聖誕前夜》
聖誕前夜全屋靜
小小老鼠亦無聲
細心將襪掛壁爐
聖誕老人快來到
孩子熟睡蜷床上
甜李仙子舞夢中
媽戴花巾我戴帽
欲享綿綿長冬夜
忽聞草坪滴答聲
縱身躍起探究竟
飛向窗前如閃電
拉開百葉抬窗框
月光如水映新雪
窗外美景似白晝
映入眼簾奇景現
八隻麋鹿拉雪橇
迅敏活躍小司機
一看便識聖尼克
駿鹿飛馳賽雄鷹
口哨呼喚麋鹿名
大師舞者躍進狐
彗星愛神閃電鹿
飛簷走壁他指揮
麋鹿飛躍全上陣
猶如幹葉颶風卷
遇阻飄然飛上天
裝滿玩具雪橇車
聖誕老人當中坐
側耳傾聽簷上音
麋鹿小蹄噠噠響
我欲回身轉頭望
聖誕老人壁爐降
從頭到腳穿皮草
衣衫全被爐灰遮
一包玩具背身後
恰似商販開箱包
眼睛閃爍酒窩笑
麵似玫瑰櫻桃鼻
小嘴翹起如彎弓
下巴胡須賽白雪
牙叼一管旱煙鬥
青煙繚繞如花環
麵部寬闊肚皮圓
嘻笑顫抖似果凍
胖墩墩來樂陶陶
我禁不住也捧腹
擠個眉眼頭一扭
讓我安心莫懼怕
默不作聲去幹活
裝滿長襪就起身
他將手指放鼻側
點頭示意升壁爐
飛身躍上麋鹿車
口哨吹響隊伍整
輕似絨毛與天齊
邊走邊聽他大喊
聖誕快樂大家享
好夢晚安全體樂
～京燕兒譯～
～聖誕快樂～
桐兒姐姐孩子們的幸福就是我們的快樂，總是希望他們過得比我們好，也希望他們能有所感悟。要不要給Santa寫封信跟他說說從我們小時候起，他就忘了把禮物給我們送到中國來，所以以後要多多補回來，不許摳門兒！
聖誕節抱抱桐兒姐姐，今年認識你我很幸福。看到九月在你家留言，希望她早日歸來。聖誕快樂！新年快樂！
你家孩子好幸福。：）
Santa對我女兒很慷慨，對我就很扣門，hehe。不過，我已經習慣了Santa的不公待遇，：）））
Hahaha桐兒姐姐這是我收到的最甜美的聖誕禮物，謝謝你美言和糖果加棍棒！Santa對你好不好？小美女喜歡她的禮物嗎？我家雪兒醒了，不想打擾爸爸和哥哥睡懶覺所以還沒急著開禮物（＾Ｏ＾☆♪ 昨晚去子夜彌撒回來時一點多了。Happy Birthday, baby Jesus!（＾Ｏ＾☆♪
祝你全家聖誕快樂！新年快樂！
好歡快甜美的聲音。
太標準了，播音員水平。
聖誕平安夜歡迎五速君來訪，為你送上香茶。十分幸運認識你和九月，感謝你們的睿智機敏捕捉到生活中點滴的感動。
祝你全家聖誕快樂！新年快樂！
這一年十分高興認識你, 感謝你給予九月和我的支持與鼓勵!
恭祝你和家人聖誕快樂, 新年甜蜜!
好開心平安夜收到親愛的晴晴妹妹和安娜寶貝大洋彼岸送來的祝福，抱抱和親親！天主在天受光榮，主愛的人在世享平安！
你和安娜到聖誕市場玩耍，享受熱鬧的節日氣氛，聖誕天使送來禮物，祝福你們溫馨的生活！When the bells rings for Christmas, it brings our greetings. 你今年要加班希望安娜不會太失望，妹妹多保重，以後再出去玩兒。
明天早上大寶雪兒打開聖誕老人送來的禮物。今晚我們在家做飯迎接姥姥爺爺奶奶和好友帕西拉。
平安夜，聖善夜，天涯海角送上祝福！認識你們真好！聖誕快樂！新年快樂！知道你的生日也快到了，生日快樂！（＾Ｏ＾☆♪
平安夜了，我們來看看燕兒姐姐，祝你和家人聖誕快樂，平安喜樂~~~
經過這些年， 我們也有了自己的傳統， 平安夜上午逛紐倫堡的聖誕廣場，安娜玩了木轉輪，小火車，旋轉木馬，我們吃了紐倫堡烤香腸，喝了暖暖的熱紅酒。然後去Käthe Wohlfahrt, 一家傳統有名的專賣聖誕裝飾的店，買了兩件掛件。就開開心心回家了。告訴孩子， 以後她有了家， 有了孩子，也繼續這個傳統吧。晚上， 在五彩的聖誕樹下，我們打開聖誕天使帶給我們的禮物，內心暖暖的。
通過網路，穿過大洋， 送上我們來自內心的真摯祝福！ 聖誕快樂，主佑平安！
還有， 我們今年出不了遠門了， 我的項目不審計， 但是Sales and offer 要被審，所以要上班了， 等下次吧。
多謝清風君！看到馬上就到聖誕夜了，我就來段京腔吧～把那搬不上台麵的打油詩也念一下。今天晚上又錄了一回音，也好給桐兒姐姐點綴兄交差。
祝大家聖誕快樂！新年快樂！都做了一年好孩子，等著聖誕老人的禮物吧！ Hohoho～Merry Christmas!
讚同樓上的，這大過節的，燕子再給大家唱段京腔！：））
住燕子節日快樂，好事連連！
好開心看到桐兒姐姐！看到你回家忙著準備聖誕禮物和家務做Santa好幫手，難得你這麽忙還出來看我們。本來我聽了點綴兄的建議，又錄了一遍包括中英文的，沒錄好聲音太小就沒放上去。你和九月還是饒了我吧。請你們吃北京帶來的點心！
本來我也是先錄了英文後來開始輸入中文時一邊輸一邊譯一邊改，倒是沒用很久，詞語經不起推敲，就當看個熱鬧吧！
祝你全家聖誕快樂！問好小美女和大師兄。新年快樂！
這麽長的piece，翻譯一定花了不少工夫。欣賞。
聖誕節快樂，新年快樂！
多謝親愛的貝卡美言。也很感謝今年認識了你，又跟你去美語壇認識新朋友。感謝你不斷帶給我們的美麗～瀟湘雨滋養你的溫文爾雅。（＾Ｏ＾☆♪
祝全家聖誕快樂！祝孩子們健康活潑成長！
對不起飄姐姐讓你聽不到。您這一盲讚讓我樂開了花hahaha...想當初還是在您家留了個言，後來您就要給我送香茶，我一激動就自己也開了博。真高興今年認識大家，謝謝你們的友情！
您家三兒和二女剛過了生日，就到聖誕節，祝全家聖誕快樂！親親小孫子（＾Ｏ＾☆♪
多謝藤玉姐姐美言。我要跟你學溫柔。先生從北京和日本，新加坡帶回來小點心，特別是姨媽給買的稻香村酥皮餑餑，送你和大家嚐嚐！還有鐵觀音沏的香茶送你喝！（＾Ｏ＾☆♪
聖誕快樂！新年快樂！
吼吼
讓點綴兄見笑了。中文那部分是今天下午一時興起隨便翻譯的。要是原作者Clement Moore知道了，可能笑掉大牙了。據說每年聖誕夜，人們會聚在他墓前背誦Twas the night before Christmas，他可能也沒想到為自家孩子寫的詩成了家喻戶曉的經典。
聖誕快樂！新年快樂！
哈哈哈，聽到京燕君的聲音了。還應該有一遍北京話的~
聖誕快樂，新年快樂哈。。。
今天換大沙發給林楓妹妹和飄飄妹妹一起坐！也送飄飄喝北京帶來的鐵觀音，對了還給你們倆嚐嚐稻香村的酥皮餑餑（甜點心）。
謝謝飄飄妹妹喜歡，我也不懂得製作，就一邊放音樂，一邊想大聲讀再把音樂蓋過去。你要是不嫌棄我就讀你的詩，以後要溫柔的聲音才能不辜負了你的詩。
聖誕快樂！
給林楓妹妹上香茶，我姨媽剛讓先生給帶回來的鐵觀音，嚐嚐吧！讓林楓妹妹見笑了，最近去美語論壇玩兒，那裏正搞活動，要唱歌或朗誦，我這是趕鴨子上架，現學的錄音上傳。
聖誕快樂！抱抱星兒月兒兩個小寶貝！
哈哈~~~楓楓，俺認真聽朗誦的時候，讓你搶了沙發~~~跟你擠著坐~~~
今日專程來訪，是為了祝姐姐聖誕快樂新年快樂：）
哇。。結果一進來就是驚喜啊~~~~燕子姐姐的聲音太好聽了，真喜歡你的朗誦，很有感染力。。真是太精彩了，以後也要請姐姐朗誦我的詩：）~~~~~ 姐姐，不許拒絕啊~~~
