aYour tree looks beautiful. Do you decorate it this way every year?
你们的树看起来好漂亮。你们每年都这么布置吗?
bYes, it’s a family tradition dating back to my childhood. We use the same lights and ornaments, but of course we have a new tree each year. The children made some of these decorations. Here, you can hang this on one of those high branches.
aWell, everything seems to be just about ready. Now all we need is snow.
似乎一切都准备就绪了。现在我们都希望的是下一场雪了。
bDo you exchange the presents in the morning?
你们在早上交换礼物吗?
aOh, yes. The kids are too excited to wait. After we clean up the mess--all the empty boxes and the wrapping paper -- we have a big breakfast. Then the kids have the whole day to play with their new toys.
