n.圣诞老人
SantaClaus is a corruption of the Dutch Sinterklaas, which means simplySaint Nicholas. 他的英文名SantaClaus是德语 Sinterklaas的误传,而Sinterklaas的直译就是“圣塔尼古拉斯”了。
SantaClaus, the joyful old man in the red suit and white beard, is probably the most famous figure of Christmas.He represents the giving of gifts, which is so important to the holiday. 没有精灵,没有雪橇,没有驯鹿,没有大鼻子,没有红色外套,没有装满礼物的大布袋,圣诞老人还是圣诞老人么?
