And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Ngữ pháp:

• Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

  ➔ 现在分词作形容词 ('roasting')

  ➔ 单词 "roasting" 是现在分词用作形容词，修饰名词 "chestnuts"。它描述了栗子正在进行的动作。这比说 "Chestnuts that are roasting..." 更简洁。

• Jack Frost nipping at your nose

  ➔ 现在分词 ('nipping')，在省略的关系从句或状语修饰语中。

  ➔ "Nipping" 作为对 Jack Frost 正在做什么的描述。它暗示着 Jack Frost 是 "who is nipping at your nose"，一个缩略关系从句。

• Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

  ➔ 主谓一致 ('everybody knows')

  ➔ "Everybody" 是一个单数不定代词，因此采用单数动词形式 "knows"。

• Will help to make the season bright

  ➔ 将来时态 ('will help') 和目的不定式 ('to make')

  ➔ "Will help" 表达一个将来的动作。 "To make" 表达了帮助的目的，解释了他们为什么要帮助。

• Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

  ➔ 介词短语 ('with their eyes all aglow') 修饰 'tiny tots'

  ➔ 介词短语 "with their eyes all aglow" 描述了 "tiny tots" 的状态。它为主语添加了描述性的细节。

• Will find it hard to sleep tonight

  ➔ 将来时态 ('will find')，用 'it' 作为占位符主语，不定式短语 ('to sleep') 作为真正的主语。

  ➔ 使用 "it" 作为占位符，可以使句子结构更自然，特别是当主语是一个较长的不定式短语时。 不说 "To sleep tonight will be hard for them"，而是将句子重新排列为使用 "it"。

• They know that Santa's on his way

  ➔ 缩写形式 ('Santa's') 以及 'is' 的省略 (Santa is on his way --> Santa's on his way)

  ➔ 缩写形式 'Santa's' 是缩短 "Santa is" 的常用方法，使句子更具对话性和非正式性。

• To see if reindeer really know how to fly

  ➔ 间接疑问句 ('if reindeer really know how to fly')

  ➔ 这是一个间接疑问句，因为它嵌入在一个更大的陈述 ("To see") 中。 语序与陈述句相同，而不是直接疑问句。 与 "Do reindeer really know how to fly?" (直接疑问句) 进行比较。

• Although it's been said many times, many ways

  ➔ 现在完成时的被动语态 ('it's been said')，在一个状语从句 ('Although...') 中

  ➔ 现在完成时的被动语态 "it's been said" 表示一个过去某个不确定的时间发生的并且持续相关的动作。状语从句 "Although..." 引入了一个对比的想法。
