　　Christmas cards 圣誕賀卡

　　The custom of sending Christmas cards started in Britain in 1840 when the first 'Penny Post' public postal deliveries began. (Helped by the new railway system, the public postal service was the 19th century's communication revolution, just as email is for us today.) As printing methods improved, Christmas cards were produced in large numbers from about 1860. They became even more popular in Britain when a card could be posted in an unsealed envelope for one half-penny - half the price of an ordinary letter.

　　圣誕賀卡可追溯到1840年統(tǒng)一便士郵政(uniform penny post)的出現(xiàn)，此項改革實現(xiàn)了英國境內(nèi)郵件遞送費用的標(biāo)準化。(新鐵路運輸系統(tǒng)為公共郵政服務(wù)系統(tǒng)創(chuàng)造了條件，成就了19世紀的通信革命，與電子郵件對現(xiàn)代人的影響無異)。隨著印刷術(shù)的改進，從1860年起，每年會生產(chǎn)大量的圣誕賀卡。當(dāng)郵寄非密封的卡片只要半便士(普通信件郵費的一半)時，郵寄賀卡變得異常流行。

　　Traditionally, Christmas cards showed religious pictures - Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus, or other parts of the Christmas story. Today, pictures are often jokes, winter pictures, Father Christmas, or romantic scenes of life in past times.

　　從傳統(tǒng)上來講，圣誕賀卡都印有一些基督教方面的圖片，比如圣母瑪麗，約瑟和小耶穌，或者其它包含有圣誕故事意義的圖片。今天的圣誕賀卡通常是笑話、冬季景致，圣誕老人以及一些反應(yīng)生活中浪漫場面的圖片。
