卷福写给圣诞老人的一封信

信件原文及翻译参考（搬运Steven.H，感谢）：

Dear Father Christmas,

So my friend has asked me to write to you… I have to confess it’s been hard to know what to say. Mainly because like most adults I feel preposterous asking anything of you because our time with you is surely done. Now we get our own presents, control our own fates, take responsibility for our own actions, and live in the world we have created… so it's not for us to turn around and plead for your help with the environment, the migrant crisis, the NHS, education, food banks, human rights, fundamentalism and wars. Though God knows we need all the help we can get with all these man-made problems and more.

亲爱的圣诞老人，

我的朋友希望我写封信给您...必须承认的是我不知道该从何说起，主要是因为像大多数成年人一样我觉得向您求助有些荒谬，因为您陪伴我们的时光确实已经一去不复返了。现在我们得到来自自己的礼物、掌握自己的命运、为自己的行为负起责任、并且生活在我们自己创造出的世界里... ... 所以在环境保护、难民危机、医疗服务、公众教育、粮食储备、人权保障、宗教冲突以及战争等等这些事情上我们不再指望您去解决问题，尽管在这些社会问题上我们需要尽可能多的帮助。

And it’s not that you aren’t compassionate and full of joy. You’re great. In spite of you being changed into different colours for corporations and being bastardised to represent materialism gone mad – despite probably originating in some season based pagan druid ritual a million thought miles from requests for spontaneously combusting hoverboards… Kidadults cynically pointing this out after having their moment of belief in you are wasting everyone’s precious time. Because you are not for them. You are for the children. Children who need some magic in a world were the borders between innocence and responsibility, playful imagination and cold, adult obstacles are continually shrinking.

这并不是说您没同情心、不乐观。你很伟大，尽管由于商业用途您被涂上不同的颜色、被丑化以代表物质主义者的疯狂——简直像邪教仪式那样，每到这个节日就要找点儿礼物来满足欲望，比如那种会自燃的悬浮滑板…… 在他们相信您的存在是在浪费所有人的宝贵时间后，那些幼稚的大人们会冷嘲热讽着把这一切捅破。因为您不是为他们，而是为孩子们存在的，那些需要这个世界有一点魔法的孩子们、那些正伫立在葆有童真与担负责任、天真幻想与冷酷无情的边界上的孩子们，而这个边界正逐渐变得模糊。

This is what I’d like to ask you to help with. A little more time for children to be children. Stretch the moment of magic and playfulness. Distract them from the realities of a world gone mad so that they can laugh with their breath rather than sob with their tears. Especially those caring for family members, or suffering illness, hunger or poverty. Especially those hiding in buildings as bombs rain down, or being handed shaking with fear or cold into a boat to escape environmental disaster or war. Please help to light up their worlds with a moment of joy and hope.

这个就是我需要请您帮的忙。让孩子们的童年延续得再久一点、延续梦幻而快乐的时光。别让他们这个疯狂世界的现实，让他们的呼吸中都能带着欢笑，而不是在泪水中抽泣。特别是那些小小年纪就要照顾家里，或是饱受着疾病、饥饿、贫困的孩子、特别是那些当炮弹纷飞时躲在危房里或是为了逃离灾难或战争踏上救生船上并因为恐惧亦或严寒而瑟瑟发抖的孩子。恳请您帮助我用片刻的欢欣和希望来点亮他们的世界。

When I think about it you’ve got it tough this year… And when I really think about it I’m not sure that asking you for a lightsaber and getting one (not that I ever did by the way) is equatable with controlling the space time continum and making the good of childhood last a little longer.

一想到您今年收到了如此艰巨的任务...并且当我真的思考这件事，我不确定向您要一把光剑（顺便一提不是像我做过的那样）与控制时空的连续性让童年的美好持续更长一点难度相当。

But you do inspire wonder and awe amongst those that write you letters and go to sleep hoping there might be a new object in their possession come dawn. You inspire good behaviour and, at least in my memory, some desperate last minute attempts to redeem bad behaviour so as not to be overlooked. Spare a thought too for those millions who want to write to you but through illiteracy can’t. Hear their words and help to give them the time and chance to learn how to read and write so they can better their lives and escape their impoverished beginnings.

但是您着实激起了那些给您写信然后躺在床上期盼着第二天早上会有礼物到来的孩子的好奇和赞叹。您还会激起人的善念，至少在我的印象里，有些亡命之徒会在最后几分钟里试图为自己的恶行救赎以求不被您忽视。另外那些成千上万想给您写信但因为不识字而没能这么做的人们也请您关注，倾听他们的肺腑之言并给与他们学习读书写字时间和机会来让他们追求更好的生活并摆脱穷苦的出身。

I feel a little sorry for you. And I guess I’ve done exactly what I said I wouldn’t… Asked you to help with adult problems and solve some of the greatest worries we have for our children. I promise to leave some extra port and mince pies for you!

有点对不住您，我好像也确实提了刚刚说过不会像您提的请求...就是向你求助关于成年人的麻烦还有解决一些我们对于孩子们比较重要的忧虑。我保证会给您留点儿波特酒和肉馅饼。

Lots of love

P.S. Please could I have that lightsaber now?
