It was Christmas Eve. Marie and her brother Fritz peeked into the living room. Oh, I can't wait for the party to start, said Marie.

圣诞前夜，玛丽和弟弟弗里茨偷偷往客厅里张望。 “噢，我都等不及派对开始啦。”玛丽说。

At last, the living room doors were opened, and the children rushed in. The Christmas tree was dazzling. Hundreds of tiny candles twinkled. Sparkling decorations and candies hung from all the branches. Under the tree were so many presents.

终于，客厅的门打开了，孩子们一窝蜂冲了进去。 圣诞树光彩夺目，上百支小蜡烛闪着微光。 所有树枝上都挂着亮晶晶的装饰品和糖果。 树底下堆着数不清的礼物。
