Explanation of the words of Colin s Christmas candles

This is a foreign work about a teenager, Colin, who does everything possible to relight the lighthouse that navigates the ship, so that a sailboat that has been drifting in a thick fog for a week can enter the harbor smoothly, praising Colin's sincere love for others and a strong sense of responsibility.

The text begins with the story of Colin's journey home from school on Christmas Eve, with "heavy steps" and a heavy heart, without the slightest excitement for the holiday, and that his father, who was supposed to return a week ago, has not been heard from yet. It goes on to say that after Colin asked the lighthouse keeper if he could light the lighthouse with kerosene, he went home and got buckets, and collected kerosene from house to house, and finally got the lighthouse back on. Then it is said that Colin heard in his sleep the sound of "the ship is coming into the harbor", and when he opened his eyes, he ran to the door, and saw a sailboat parked in the harbor, so he rushed out of the house and ran to the harbor.

The title is "Colin's Christmas Candles". As can be seen from the text, Christmas candles symbolize auspiciousness and happiness. Although Colin was worried that his father did not light the small candle, he lit the beacon that brought happiness to countless families, which was like "a giant candle".

Although Colin did not light his own Christmas candles, he managed to light the large kerosene lamps in the lighthouse so that the lost sailboat could return safely Colin's Christmas Candles" is actually a reference to the large kerosene lamps he lit and his noble qualities

This article was written by Irish writer Barbara Raftri and translated by Wang Shiyue. Colin walked slowly from school to home. He walked heavily as he climbed the hills around this small Irish fishing village.

Tonight didn't look like Christmas Eve to Colin, perhaps because it hadn't snowed yet. But Colin knew there was another reason why tonight wasn't like Christmas Eve—one he didn't even dare to whisper in his heart. He looked out over the valley at the lead-gray sea.

There was not even a shadow of a ship on the sea blocked by the dense fog. It's been seven days, and the sailboat on which his father worked should have returned seven days ago. "I'm going to bring you a little sheepdog from the Shetland Islands," cried out the father the morning of his departure, "and I'm sure you'll see it a week before Christmas."

But it's Christmas Eve, let alone the shepherds, and Colin now only hopes for his father's safe return. He looked at the lighthouse that towered over the top of the hill. Seven days ago, a strong northerly wind short-circuited the lighthouse's power lines, leaving no lights to navigate incoming ships for seven days.

Colin pushed open the door to his cottage, and he heard his mother walking around the kitchen. "Colin, we need a lot of peat to make a fire. Mom came to the front room and said, "The stove is going out, and we should light the Christmas candles."

Mom, I don't want to light candles. Colin said. "I know, and I don't want to.

"But in Ireland, everybody has to light a candle on Christmas Eve, and you have to light it even when something sad happens at home." Come on, there are two candles here, one for each of us. If you dig up some peat, we'll be ready for dinner soon.

Colin went outside and tied a basket to the donkey's back. He led the donkey to the mountain. "Now there is no light to guide the sailing ship into the harbor," he said, glancing at the lighthouse, "I don't want to light a candle."

The donkey shook his head and neighed desolately, as if he understood his words. While looking at the lighthouse, Colin suddenly had an idea. Colin hurried to the top of the mountain.

He came to the lighthouse and knocked the door. Mr. Duffy, the lighthouse keeper, ran out of the tower and opened the door a crack. "Young man, you have frightened me, an old man, that Christmas Eve should be peaceful, quiet, and peaceful.

What's the matter with you? "Mr. Duffy," said Colin, panting, "how did you light the lighthouse?" Can you still light it up?

Alas, the wires burned out, kids, you can't buy wires like that nearby. I mean, how did you light a lighthouse before there was electricity? Oh, with that big oil lamp in the cellar.

Now I don't have oil here - a few quarts of quarts: an imperial unit of weight, 1 quart = 1
