有名的聖誕麋鹿

關於有名的聖誕麋鹿的由來,我們特別翻譯外國網站的原文供大家參考。

以下翻譯自:http://didyouknow.org/christmas/

At one stage it was thought that Father Christmas (Santa Claus) lives in the North Pole. In 1925 it was discovered that there are no reindeer in the North Pole. But there are lots in Lapland, Finland. So today we know that the reindeer live around the secret village of Father Christmas and the elves somewhere on the Korvatunturi mountain in the Savukoski county of Lapland, Finland, which is on the Finnish-Russian border.
Long ago, Father Christmas and the elves discovered the special formula of Magical Reindeer Dust which make them fly. This dust is sprinkled on each of the reindeer shortly before they leave on Christmas Eve. It gives them enough magic to fly right around the world. They can fly very fast: at about the speed of a Christmas light.

有一個時期,聖誕老人被認為是住在北極。在1925年發現北極並沒有麋鹿的存在。但是在芬蘭的拉普蘭卻有很多。因此,今日我們知道麋鹿是住在聖誕老人的神秘村落,而精靈是在芬蘭拉普蘭Savukoski郡的耳朵山(Korvatunturi)上,也就是在芬蘭和俄羅斯的交界。
很久以前,聖誕之父還有精靈發現了神奇的麋鹿粉可以讓麋鹿飛翔。這個粉在聖誕夜麋鹿離開前,用來撒在每隻麋鹿身上,讓麋鹿有神力可以飛躍全世界。他們可以飛的很快,大概是聖誕光芒一樣的速度
