文档介绍：经典回信：圣诞老人真的存在吗？
Dear Editor,
I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa sayy as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
是的，弗吉尼娅，世界上真的有圣诞老人。你一定知道，这个世界充满了爱、慷慨和奉献，我们的生活因此而无比美好和欢乐，圣诞老人就和它们一样。啊，如果没有圣诞老人，这个世界将多么令人沮丧!就如同没有你这样的小朋友一样令人沮丧!那样，便没了孩童的天真，没了诗意，没了让我们生有可恋的爱情。除了肤浅的感官之娱外，我们再无欢乐可言。而童年带给这个世界的永恒之光也会彻底消失。
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
不相信圣诞老人的存
