Christmas Traditions, Past and Present
圣诞节的往昔与今朝
Americans may have made some changes in the way they celebrate Christmas over the years, but some important traditions--like friends and family--remain the same. According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted among a representative sample of 2,001 adults nationwide, nine out of every 10 Americans celebrate Christmas.
多年来,美国人在庆祝圣诞节的方式上做了很多改变,但一些重要的传统还是保留至今,例如在那天与朋友和家人相聚。根据佩尤研究中心对全国2001名具有代表性的成年人进行的调查显示,十个里面有九个美国人会庆祝圣诞。
However, only around half of those who celebrate view it as a religious holiday, while one-third see it as a cultural celebration, rather than one of faith. Religion is far less central to young peoples’ observances of Christmas, the survey found, with only 39 percent of those aged 18-29 viewing it as a religious holiday, compared with 66 percent of those aged 65 and older.
然而,会庆祝圣诞节的人中只有差不多一半把它视作为一个宗教节日;而三分之一的人会将它看作一个文化庆典,而不是一种信仰。在年轻人的眼中,宗教远远不是圣诞节的核心,经调查发现,18-29岁的人中只有39%的人把它当做一个宗教节日,与之相比,65岁及以上的人有66%把圣诞节视为宗教节日。
