Coming from the northern hemisphere, I thought that Christmas in summer in my new home of New Zealand would be really bizarre and I wouldn't be able to get used to it. But instead it felt normal. Santa is usually depicted wearing his usual coat and hat, but instead of trousers, he wears shorts. Note the snowflake pattern on his summer shirt!
雖然我來自北半球，但是我覺得新住處新西蘭的夏季圣誕非常神奇，我沒法兒習(xí)慣，不過其實也很是正常的圣誕節(jié)。圣誕老人一般都穿傳統(tǒng)的圣誕外套和圣誕帽，不過下半身穿的是短褲而不是長褲，還會穿帶有雪花圖案的夏裝襯衫！

Most people will have a barbecue at home, and go to the beach on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. As it's summer holidays, many companies shut between Christmas and New Year so Christmas Eve is the start of many families' summer holidays, too, and as our schools follow the calendar year, kids are nicely relaxed as they're between school years.
大部分人會在家里做烤肉吃，還會在圣誕節(jié)當(dāng)天和節(jié)禮日（圣誕節(jié)次日）去海灘。因為很多公司都會從圣誕節(jié)開始放暑假到新年，所以圣誕夜也相當(dāng)于很多家庭暑假的開始，而且因為我們學(xué)校是遵循公歷年的，所以孩子們可以在兩個學(xué)年間好好放松一下。

Germany has a lot of amazing places to visit for Christmas. I lived one year in Regensburg in Bavaria, one of Europe's best kept medieval cities, and it has no less than three Christmas markets! If you're in Bavaria, you should also definitely check out the market in Nürnberg, one of the largest in Germany and bound to put you in a festive mood.
德國有很多超棒的地方，適合在圣誕節(jié)觀光。我在巴伐利亞州的雷根斯堡住過一年，這是歐洲保存最完善的中世紀城市之一，而且這里有至少三個圣誕市場！如果你在巴伐利亞，那你也一定要到紐倫堡的市場去看看，這是德國最大的圣誕市場之一，一定能讓你體驗到圣誕節(jié)日氣氛的。

But Germany is not the only country with amazing markets. Switzerland is also full of them, and having lived in Bern I can really recommend visiting the city for Christmas. Another good option is Stein am Rhein on the border with Germany (a two hour drive north into Germany itself will get you to more awesome towns, like Rottweil and Villingen-Schwenningen, as well as the Schwarzwald/Black Forest area with lots of quaint little towns), and the beautiful city of Luzern (Lucerne) on the Vierwaldst?tter See (Lake Lucerne).
但是，不只德國有很棒的圣誕市場，瑞士也有很多。我在伯爾尼住過，所以我強烈推薦大家來這座圣誕之城。另一個推薦地點則是德國邊境的寶石小鎮(zhèn)（往北朝德國駕車兩個小時，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)更多令人難忘的小鎮(zhèn)，比如羅特維爾和菲林根-施文寧根，還有黑森林地區(qū)也有很多別致的小鎮(zhèn)），還有琉森湖畔的盧塞恩城也很不錯。

Outside of these two countries I'm sure there are loads of other places to see, too, but I'd like to especially mention the German speaking French region of Elsass, and in particular the town of Riquewihr.
我敢肯定除了德國和瑞士以外還有很多值得一看的地方，不過我想特別提一下法國德語區(qū)的阿爾薩斯，尤其是里克威爾小鎮(zhèn)。
