Are you excited about the holidays coming up soon?

I know not everyone out there celebrates Christmas, but there may be some type of holiday you're celebrating soon.

我知道不是每個人都會慶祝聖誕節，但你可能很快就會慶祝某種節日。

It's fun just to get into the holiday spirit.

Yeah, just to maybe see family a bit more, maybe just work a little less or slow down, take some days off and just relax.

是啊，就是想多看看家人，少工作一點，或者放慢腳步，休息幾天，放鬆一下。

So this has been tough. Yeah, lots of family time, right?

所以這段時間很難熬。是啊，很多家庭時間，對吧？

Yeah, this is what we're getting into today, but we do have a really, really, really important caveat for any of our listeners that happen to be listening today with their children.

是的，這就是我們今天要討論的內容，但我們有一個非常、非常、非常重要的注意事項，希望今天收聽節目的聽眾能和他們的孩子一起收聽。

Yes, so some of you have let us know that you listen with your children, which we love.

是的，你們中的一些人告訴我們，你們和孩子們一起聽，我們很喜歡。

We are going to be talking about Christmas magic and Santa Claus today, and it's a message that you might not want very young children to hear.

我們今天要討論的是聖誕魔力和聖誕老人，你可能不想讓年幼的孩子們聽到這個資訊。

So just a heads up, you may not want to listen to this episode with young children.

所以提醒一下，有小孩的朋友可能不想聽這一集。

Yeah, but we have 2,000 plus other episodes.

是的，但我們還有 2000 多集呢。

So if you're in that moment where you think you want to turn it off right now, go back to our other episodes.

所以，如果你現在想關掉它，請回到我們的其他節目。

Right, and then come back and listen later without the kids because this is going to be a great episode.

好了，等會兒別帶孩子來聽，因為這將是非常精彩的一集。

But we also, not appropriate for little ears.

但是，我們也不適合小耳朵聽。

Well, let me ask you because my, well, we'll both answer this.

好吧，讓我來問你，因為我的，好吧，我們都會回答這個問題。

How did you find out that Santa wasn't real?

你是怎麼發現聖誕老人不是真的？

Yeah, I just remember having a conversation with my mom.

是啊，我只記得和我媽聊過天。

I think I would, maybe I was a little on the older side.

我想我會的，也許我年紀偏大了點。

I think usually first children tend to learn later, right?

我想，通常第一個孩子會學得比較晚，對嗎？

I was, you know, and I sort of, you know, started to question,

我，你知道，我有點，你知道，開始質疑、

I started to ask the more pointed questions.

How exactly does he get down the chimney?

他到底是怎麼從煙囪裡下來的？

And how can he possibly go to all the houses and the whole world?

他又怎麼可能走遍千家萬戶和整個世界呢？

And my mom started saying things like, well, what do you think?

我媽媽開始說，你覺得怎麼樣？

Like, not in a rude way, kind of more, she didn't want to say it, you know?

不是粗魯，而是她不想說，你知道嗎？

But she wanted to kind of facilitate a space for me, but not tell me the true answer.

但她只想為我提供方便，卻不想告訴我真正的答案。

Sounds like your mom handled it really well.

I have never had a conversation with my parents about Santa not being real.

我從未和父母談論過聖誕老人不是真的。

And like, it's like at some point I just knew, but we just never had a conversation.

就像，就像在某些時候我就知道，但我們從來沒有交談過。

這就好比，不要問，也不要說。

If you believe he will keep bringing you presents.

如果你相信他會一直給你送禮物。

I mean, I know for sure if you're a middle child or a third child, you probably learn earlier usually, but in some cases things aren't talked about in households too, right?

我的意思是，我知道如果你是中間的孩子或第三個孩子，你可能通常會學得更早，但在某些情況下，家庭裡也不會談論這些事情，對嗎？

So I'm going to share sort of what's happened to some of my kids.

是以，我將與大家分享發生在我的一些孩子身上的事情。

But first we want to share this amazing question we got that inspired this episode.

但首先，我們想與大家分享我們收到的這個令人驚奇的問題，它激發了本期節目的靈感。

Lindsay, can you read this question for us?

林賽，你能為我們讀一下這個問題嗎？

And just one more caveat, if any of our listeners have joined in recently before we did our last caveat, if you're listening with a young child, maybe listen to another episode today, all right?

還有一個注意事項，如果有聽眾在我們最後一個注意事項之前加入了我們的節目，如果你正帶著年幼的孩子收聽，也許今天可以收聽另一集，好嗎？

And then come back on your own to listen in.

I enjoy listening to your podcast and the stories of each host every day.

我喜歡每天收聽你們的播客和每位主持人的故事。

I'm very curious how children in the U.S.

我很好奇美國的孩子們是如何做到這一點的。

who believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy eventually end up.

相信聖誕老人和牙齒仙女的人最終都會完蛋。

I have a nine-year-old daughter who recently asked, does Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy really exist?

我有一個 9 歲的女兒，她最近問我，聖誕老人和牙仙真的存在嗎？

It was so adorable to watch my daughter believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, but I honestly don't know how to answer the question.

看著女兒相信聖誕老人和牙仙的樣子，我覺得非常可愛，但說實話，我不知道該如何回答這個問題。

This is not a question about English, but if you could introduce my question on your podcast, could you tell me your experience or any heartwarming story if you have one?

這不是一個關於英語的問題，但如果您能在播客中介紹我的問題，您能告訴我您的經歷或任何感人的故事嗎？

Because a lot of you are teaching your children to be bilingual or you have immigrated somewhere where your kids are starting to create their own traditions.

因為你們中的很多人都在教自己的孩子學習雙語，或者你們已經移民到某個地方，孩子們開始創造自己的傳統。

You're creating your own family traditions in an English-speaking country.

您正在英語國家創造自己的家庭傳統。

And you do need to know, how do I say this?

你確實需要知道，我該怎麼說呢？

And thank you to Mai for asking this question.

I want to request for our listeners to hit that follow button, because we're looking at 2025 and we have options.

我想請聽眾朋友們點擊關注按鈕，因為我們正在關注2025年，我們有選擇。

I know for me, the podcasts that I actually follow are the ones that drop into my queue.

我知道，對我來說，我真正關注的播客是那些進入我隊列的播客。

And those are the ones I end up listening to, right?

I don't go searching for others very often.

So that's the way to make English a habit and to learn the right values, what we think are the right values around English, which is connection, not perfection.

是以，這就是讓英語成為一種習慣的方法，也是學習正確價值觀的方法，我們認為英語的正確價值觀是聯繫，而不是完美。

Okay, so I have been asked this question because I have four children.

好吧，有人問我這個問題是因為我有四個孩子。
