A Christmas Carol
《圣诞颂歌》
《圣诞颂歌》是1843年查尔斯·狄更斯创作的小说，该小说是查尔斯·狄更斯三部圣诞小说之一。
该小说主要讲的是一个吝啬鬼的故事。 一个吝啬鬼积攒了很多钱，然而他却不舍得为职员的炉火加一块儿煤，他的侄子好意的邀请他参加圣诞夜的晚会，他却认为侄子是为了占他的便宜而推辞，社会活动者请他为穷人施舍一点圣诞的饭菜，也被他无情地断然拒绝。他晚上回到了家，被三个圣诞精灵造访：“过去之灵”、“现在之灵”、“未来之灵”。
“过去之灵”让他看到在孤单寂寞的童年生活中，他的姐姐对他倍加关爱的情景，以及他当学徒时，仁慈善良的老板菲茨威格在圣诞之夜和大家一起开心跳舞，款待员工的情形。“现在之灵”带他到他的一个属下家里的圣诞聚会上，那是一个拿着可怜薪水的小职员，没有圣诞礼物，没有火鸡，可每个人脸上都洋溢着幸福的微笑；“未来之灵”让他看到在他衰老之后病卧在床, 连圣诞节也没有亲人朋友来看望的孤苦景象。于是，他开始重新思考生活的意义，才发现原来施与比接受更快乐。这一切渐渐唤醒他人性的另一面——同情、仁慈、爱心及喜悦。瞬间，他那固有的自私及冷酷迅速崩塌，消失殆尽，从此变成了一个乐善好施的人。
