圣诞老人也开起了邮局

2009-11-12来源:和谐英语

虽然离圣诞节还有一段时间,但孩子们的愿望可等不了了。位于德国小镇Himmelpfort(德语含义“天堂之门”)的邮局现在已经开始担当起圣诞老人耳目的角色——接收来自全世界孩子的圣诞愿望。邮局的圣诞老人和他的天使们已经开始忙碌起来,圣诞老人说:不用担心你的信我看不懂,我可是会说17种语言呢!

对了,可不要以为圣诞老人的英文就是“Chrismas Grandpa”——说出去要被笑掉大牙啦。圣诞老人的真正名字可是“Santa Klaus”!

另外,如果你也想收到圣诞老人的回信,现在就拿笔写下你的愿望吧。地址是:

Santa Klaus, The Christmas Post Office, Himmelpfort, 16798 - Himmelpfort, Germany.

以下是来自新华网的英文报道:

It may not be Lapland but Him-melp-fort in Germany's eastern state of Brandenburg is the next best thing. The name means, "Heaven's Gate" but to hundreds of children it's a gateway to Santa's ear.

Himmelpfort is one of seven Christmas post office depots in Germany and is the country's most loved.

Even though it's more than a month until Christmas the children that went to see Santa in person already know what they want.

It is not just German children who write in, the Post Office receives about 280,000 letters a year from about 80 countries.

Santa Klaus said, "The kids write to me in all sorts of different languages. It's lucky Santa Claus can speak more than 17 languages."

Santa Klaus and his angel helpers will be in the post office until Christmas making sure all the children get their letters answered.

"Just write to me at, Santa Klaus, The Christmas Post Office, Himmelpfort, 16798 - Himmelpfort. And then I will write to you. Happy Christmas," said Santa Klaus.

And a Happy Christmas to you too.
