During the Civil War, a magazine artist named Thomas Nast began drawing cartoons of Santa as a diversion for readers from the horrors of war. He sketched Santa as living at the North Pole, and having a lot of elves as his assistants. Everyone believed that must be true.
内战期间,艺术家托马斯•纳斯特(Thomas Nast)开始创作圣诞老人的漫画,这成为了战争恐怖下人们的娱乐。他勾画出了这样一幅画面——生活在北极的圣诞老人,身边围绕着一群调皮的小精灵助手。此后,每个人都相信有这样一位人物。
Mrs. Claus began appearing in Christmas lore in the late 1880s. In 1889 a poet/composer named Katharine Lee Bates wrote a poem called “Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride.” (Wives in those days were often referred to as “good wives,” or “goody” for short.) In the poem, Mrs. Claus tells Santa that she will deliver gifts that year, since it’s not fair that he gets to have all the fun. In 1910 another poem of Ms. Bates was set to music and published as a song everyone knows – America the Beautiful.
克劳斯夫人于19世纪80年代末的圣诞传说中第一次亮相。1889年,一位诗人、作曲家凯瑟琳•李贝茨(Katharine Lee Bates)写了一首诗《糖果圣克劳斯的雪橇之旅》(Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride)。(在那个时代,妻子经常是 “好妻子”或“糖果”的简称。)在这首诗里,劳克斯夫人告诉圣诞老人,她希望在那一年由她来派送礼物,因为在此之前只有圣诞老人一人享受了其中所有的乐趣,这是不公平的。1910年,贝茨的另一首诗改编成了音乐,发表之后成为人人皆知的一首歌——“美丽的美利坚”(America the Beautiful)。
