圣诞老人知识有限

  　外国妈妈都是这样拿圣诞老人哄孩子的：你要乖哦，你不乖的话圣诞老人知道后就不会给你送礼物，你做得所有坏事圣诞老人都知道。不过今天，某个小孩将要醒悟了。

　　Limited Knowledge 圣诞老人知识有限

　　As we were putting out cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve, I accidentally dropped one. "No problem," I said, picking it up and dusting it off before placing it back on the plate. "You can’t do that," argued my four-year-old. "Don’t worry. Santa will never know." He shot me a look. "So he knows if I’ve been bad or good, but he doesn’t know the cookie fell on the floor?"

　　平安夜那天，在我们分发饼干时，我一不小心掉了一块到地上。“没关系。”我一边说，一边捡起来，并在放回盘子前掸掉了上面的灰。“你不能那么做。”我四岁大的孩子争论道。“别担心，圣诞老人不会知道的。”他朝我瞟了一眼。“这就是说他知道我有没有做坏事，而他不知道饼干掉在地上过？”
