休闲对话：妈妈，我想要圣诞公公的座骑

Mom: What do you want for Christmas this year, honey?

宝贝，今年圣诞想要什么?

Son: Can you get me a reindeer? I really need it.

我想要驯鹿。我真的很需要现在。

Mom: A reindeer? No, I can’t. Santa needs them to carry the gifts.

驯鹿?我办不到。圣诞老人需要他们拿礼物啊。

Son: But I’ve already told my friends that you would get me one. They will come to our house to ride on it.

但是我已经告诉我的朋友们了，他们都会到家里来骑着它玩的。

Mom: There are many kids out there who can not get enough food, let alone fancy gifts.

外面有很多连饭都吃不饱的小孩，更别提奢侈的礼物了。

Son: So I can’t get a reindeer?

也就是说我没有驯鹿咯?

Mom: Santa needs them more than anyone else does. We have to think about other kids.

圣诞老人比任何人都需要它。我们要考虑其他的小朋友啊。

Son: I get it, mom. It never happens again. Maybe I could give them my old clothes.

明白了，妈妈。不会有下次了。也许我可以把我的旧衣服给他们。
