The magic of Christmas has already arrived at one home in Bootle.
圣诞的神奇之处似乎已经降临到布特尔(英国城市)的一家人身上了。
Becky Phelps says she was heartbroken when her six-year-old son Harvey told her that older boys at school had said Father Christmas was not real.
贝基·菲尔普斯表示,当6岁的儿子哈维跟她说“学校的大孩子说圣诞老人根本就不存在”时,她非常伤心。
The 25-year-old mum tried to tell the youngster that they were wrong - but she says she could tell by the look in her son’s eyes that he was struggling to believe - so she had an idea.
这位25岁的妈妈试着告诉儿子,大孩子们的说法不对。但她已经从儿子的眼神中看出他怀疑的深情了。于是她想到一个主意。
Harvey’s favorite film is The Polar Express, starring Tom Hanks, which portrays a little boy’s North Pole Christmas adventure.
哈维最喜欢的电影是汤姆·汉克斯主演的《极地快车》,电影讲述了圣诞节时一个小男孩的北极冒险之旅。
At the end of the film he can be seen holding a special ‘believe’ bell - to remind the youngster Father Christmas is real.
电影结尾,小男孩拿着一个很特别的“梦想”铃铛——寓意圣诞老人是真实存在的。
Quick thinking Becky took to Facebook to ask where she could buy a replica of the bell.
一想到这个,贝基赶快到脸书上发帖,问大家去哪儿可以买到类似的铃铛。
The next day, a woman knocked at their home with a gift bag and quickly left without saying who she was.
第二天,一位女性敲了她家的门,留下一个礼品包后匆匆离去,未透露自己的姓名。
Inside was a ‘believe’ bell.
礼品包里正是一个梦想铃铛。
Becky gave it to Harvey telling him the special gift had mysteriously delivered especially for him.
贝基把这个特别的礼物拿给哈维,并说不知是谁专门给他送来了这个。
Becky said: “His eyes just lit up. He’s been running round saying ‘I believe’ ever since and telling our dog, his best friend, that Father Christmas is real - and he can’t believe he ever doubted him.
贝基称:“他的眼睛一下子亮了,然后一直说‘我相信了’,还对自己最好的朋友、家里的狗狗说圣诞老人真的存在,自己真不该有任何怀疑。”
“I cannot believe a random stranger would do this for us. She’s our Christmas angel.”
“真是难以置信一位陌生人会为我们做这个。她就是我们的圣诞天使。”
