I'm hearing sleigh bells

我听到了雪橇铃声

I'm seeing snow

我看到了雪花飘落

I've waited all year, baby

宝贝，我等了一整年

Just to see those reindeer, watch them as they go

只为看看那些驯鹿，看它们缓缓走过

Home by the fireside

在壁炉旁，温暖的家

Twinkling lights

闪烁的灯光

I've waited all year, baby

宝贝，我等了一整年

Just to see that sleigh flying to the night

只为看看那雪橇飞向夜空

All the lights, all of the fun, all of us here, all of us one

所有的灯光，所有的乐趣，我们在此，我们合一

Only a gift, only a toy, only for a good girl and boy

仅仅是一份礼物，仅仅是一个玩具，只为乖巧的男孩和女孩

Only a wish, only a star, only a leap from where you are

Grammar:

• I'm hearing sleigh bells

  ➔ 现在进行时，表示现在/现在附近正在发生的行为或临时情况。

  ➔ 说话者此刻正在“听到”雪橇铃声，表示正在进行的行为。“I'm + 动词-ing”结构表示现在进行时。

• I've waited all year, baby

  ➔ 现在完成时 - 强调从过去开始并持续到现在的一个行为的结果或完成。

  ➔ 使用“I've waited”（我已经等了）表明等待从过去（年初）开始并持续到现在。结果是说话者终于在圣诞前夜。

• Just to see those reindeer, watch them as they go

  ➔ 目的的不定式：“to see”解释了等待的原因。关系从句/缩减的关系从句：“watch them as they go” - 从“watch them as they are going”缩减。

  ➔ “To see”解释了说话者为什么等了一整年。“Watch them as they go”描述了观看移动中的驯鹿。

• Home by the fireside

  ➔ 省略-省略单词。在这里，它省略了“I am/We are”。

  ➔ 完整的句子可以是“We are home by the fireside”。这是歌曲中常见的文体选择，旨在创建更简洁、更具启发性的短语。

• All the lights, all of the fun, all of us here, all of us one

  ➔ 重复：“All of...”重复以强调。平行结构：具有相似语法结构的短语列表。

  ➔ “all of”的重复强调了与圣诞前夜相关的丰富积极体验。平行结构创造了一种节奏和统一感。

• Only a gift, only a toy, only for a good girl and boy

  ➔ 重复“Only” - 强调接收礼物的范围有限或特殊条件。形容词 + 名词：good girl and boy

  ➔ “Only”表明礼物和玩具是为那些表现良好的人保留的。它营造了一种圣诞节是一种奖励的氛围。

• Ain't no party like Christmas Eve

  ➔ 双重否定 (Ain't no)：口语形式，意思是没有任何派对可以与圣诞前夜媲美。比较结构 (like)：用于将圣诞前夜派对与任何其他派对进行比较。

  ➔ “Ain't no”是“there isn't any”的口语表达方式。这句话断言了圣诞前夜派对的独特而无与伦比的品质。
