每年圣诞，心一都要写一首英文诗，自7岁始，今年是第5年。最特殊的一年，题为QuarantinedChristmas，还专门为此画了一幅画。
以前作诗，心一总是七步成章，挥笔而就。今年可能有感而发，半天都没动静。我上去一问，已呈大型史诗的态势，洋洋洒洒收不了尾，遂紧急叫停。
主要是怕她写得过长，我翻译得太累。我就不翻了，仅附上每一节大意如下：
Sunny’sChristmaspoem
QuarantinedChristmas
ChristmasinLockdown-
EverythingisnowruledbyCovid.
hasbeendisappointing,
wedidntgetfunoutofit.
Thisyearhasbeensoverystrange,
weveneverhadonelikethisbefore!
Stayinginandnotgoingout,
Itdoesntfeelfunanymore.
封锁中的圣诞节，新冠掌控一切，史无前例，令人沮丧，困在家里，不能出门玩儿，太没意思啦！
Youcan’tgoouttoseeitall,
youreathomeandstayingthere.
Youwanttobeapartofallthecheer,
Butwherecanyougo,where?
Theshopsandrestaurantsareclosed
andyoucan’tmeetupwithafriend.
Staying2metresapartisabother-
whencanallthisend?
商店关门，餐馆停业，那里也去不了，连朋友也不能见。2米的社交距离真讨厌。这日子，何时会到头？
ButdoyouthinktherewillbeChristmas?
Afterall,it’sbeenasadseason.
ButtheanswerisadefiniteYES
andIwilltellyouthereason.
Wedontneedallthedecoration,
thepartiesandbustle.
Wedontneedthegingerbread
andcarolsandhustle.
这个忧伤的冬天里，还能有圣诞节吗？当然有了！不需要装饰、排队、人群、姜饼人、赞美诗、挤挤挨挨，也能有圣诞！

Andifsomebodyyouknowisn’t,

让圣诞到来，你所需要的并不多。那就是----爱你的人们。有了他们，你就可以欢度圣诞。当然了，对那些困苦之人，别忘了嘘寒问暖！
