  为什么英国人 圣诞节 要戴纸帽子?

  All over Britain on Christmas Day, families can be found sitting around their dining tables enjoying a traditional lunch of roast turkey with all the trimmings - and all, regardless of age, wearing coloured paper hats. It is rumoured that even the Queen wears her paper hat over lunch!

   圣诞节 当天,全英国的家庭都会坐在餐桌前,吃一顿传统的圣诞大餐,塞满了各种馅料的烤火鸡。无论年龄老幼,所有人都会在头上戴一顶彩色纸做成的纸帽子。据说,就连伊莉莎白女王也会戴纸帽子哦!

  So why this quaint tradition? Where do these paper hats come from? The answer is the Christmas Cracker.

  那为什么会有这个古怪的传统呢?戴纸帽子的传统来源于哪里?答案就在另一项圣诞传统活动——圣诞拉炮!

  A Christmas Cracker is a cardboard paper tube, wrapped in brightly coloured paper and twisted at both ends. There is a banger inside the cracker, two strips of chemically impregnated paper that react with friction so that when the cracker is pulled apart by two people, the cracker makes a bang.

  圣诞拉炮是用硬纸板做的纸筒,再用色彩鲜艳的彩纸包裹在外面,两端拧紧。在拉炮里会有一个爆竹,当两个人拉动拉炮两端时,拉炮里的两条浸渍纸就会发生摩擦,发出“嘣”的响声。

  Inside the cracker there is a paper crown made from tissue paper, a motto or joke on a slip of paper and a little gift.

  拉炮里会装有纸做的皇冠、写在纸上的名言或笑话,还会有一些小礼物
