Jingle Bells（铃儿响叮噹）这首歌恐怕是最为人们熟悉的圣诞歌曲。可是这首歌最初并不是为 圣诞节 所写，而是为感恩节所作的。1857年，词曲作家詹姆斯·罗德·皮尔彭特(James Lord Pierpont, 1822 - 1893)的父亲在波士顿一所学校任职。这首歌是吉米写给父亲的学生们，帮助学生们参加感恩节演出用的。歌中唱道：“雪橇宾士在雪地上，我们欢笑一路上，铃声儿响彻四方，我们情绪高涨，笑得多开心，雪橇之歌今夜唱。叮叮噹，叮叮噹，铃儿响叮噹……”明快的旋律、欢乐的场景、动人的童声合唱，使这首歌成为150年来最重要的圣诞节保留曲目，也是世界知名度最高的歌曲。

歌词解说：

[1]O'er是over的缩写

[2]Bells onbobtailsring,马儿的尾毛为了避免被缰绳缠住而特意剪短称bobtail

[3]And then we got upsot, upsot是在音乐上取代upset的一种写法，整句意思是雪橇翻车

[4]Two forty as his speed, 这里的速度是一小时22.5英里,原文完整表达应该是(traveling a mile in two minutes and forty seconds)行驶一英里花了2分钟40秒, 标準竞赛马的速度也在这个範围

[5]jingle bells.在这里jingle在历史上并不是形容词,而是命令动词,表示（使）铃铛叮噹作响

[6]bobtailed bay. bay做形容词意思是栗色的,用颜色来只带这种颜色的马儿

[7]sprawling lie. 这里的意思是四仰八叉躺在雪地
