關於麋鹿的名字的由來,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/

Rudolph is the most famous reindeer. He is the leader of the other 8, whose names are Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Dancer, Dasher, Donder, Prancer, and Vixen.

The names of the 8 reindeer were published by Clement Clark Moore, an American poet and professor of theology, in his 1822 poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas.” Rudolph was first written about only in 1939 by Robert May, who included him in a story for the Montgomery Ward Christmas catalog. (Of course, the elves knew their names long, long before Moore and May did.)
The reindeer are cared for by one of the Christmas elves, Wunorse Openslae. He also designed Father Christmas’s sleigh and maintains it for top performance.

Rudolph魯道夫是最有名的麋鹿名。他是其他麋鹿- Blitzen閃電、Comet,彗星、Cupid邱比特、Dancer舞者、Dasher猛衝、Donder唐德、Prancer騰躍以及Vixen雌孤。
這八隻麋鹿的名字是由Clement Clark Moore,一個美國的詩人以及神學專家1822年的詩作”來自St. Nicolas的造訪”。 Rudolph只在1939年被Robert May,在Montgomery Ward (郵購公司)的聖誕目錄中第一次被提及(當然,我們知道精靈比Moore和May更早更早知道麋鹿的名字)。
麋鹿是由第一個聖誕精靈Wunorse Openslae所照顧。他也設計了第一個聖誕雪橇,並且長期維護他,以保持雪橇頂尖的表現。
