A CHRISTMAS CAROL 快樂頌


The long-awaited Christmas finally comes! I am ready to be flooded by tons of books this weekend, such as the classic A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, who transformed the humiliating experiences of his childhood and his sympathy for the poor into a tale which successfully rejuvenated the old Christmas traditions of England. It not only brings to the reader images of light, joy and warmth but also strong and unforgettable images of darkness, despair, coldness, sadness and death. So, I really hope that you won ’ t forget to care about the poor and needy in this festive moment!

聖誕節終於來臨。這個假期,我已作好被書海淹沒的準備了!而最應節的讀物莫過於大文豪狄更斯的《聖誕頌歌》。作者將童年回憶並對弱勢社群的關懷全然傾注於文字之中,讓讀者不單感受聖誕節歡愉而暖煦的氛圍,亦能從書中所描繪,暗啞灰敗的情節中,反思聖誕的意義。聖誕節的確不僅是個購物和狂歡的節日,但願你在佳節也沒遺忘身邊有需要的人吧!
