装饰好圣诞树,挂好圣诞花环,现在该为圣诞老人准备好牛奶和饼干了。圣诞节的风俗习惯多种多样,但你想过这些习俗是怎么来的吗?现在为你揭晓答案。
Did Coca-Cola invent the modern-day Santa?
可口可乐公司创造了现代的圣诞老人形象?
Nope, this one's a myth. Although Coca-Cola started using Santa in their advertising in the 1930s, the company didn't come up with the image of the plump old man in his signature red and white. It just so happened that Santa's red suit and white beard matched the brand's colors.
不,这只是一个误传。虽然可口可乐公司在上世纪30年代开始在广告中使用圣诞老人的形象,但身穿标志性红白相间服装的胖胖的圣诞老人的形象并不是该公司想出的,只不过碰巧圣诞老人的红衣服和白胡须颜色和可口可乐品牌外观设计颜色相同。
The modern-day image of Santa has been evolving for centuries. Modeled after Saint Nicholas who had a reputation for secret gift-giving, Santa was eventually shaped into the sleigh-riding, chimney-climbing man we know today, through the work of people like Washington Irving and illustrator Thomas Nast.
现代圣诞老人的形象几世纪以来不断演变。圣诞老人以喜欢匿名赠送礼物的圣•尼古拉斯(土耳其历史上真实存在的一位主教)为原型,经过作家华盛顿•欧文和漫画家托马斯•纳斯特的描绘,最终演变成如今这位乘雪橇、爬烟囱的老人形象。
