句中的regard是及物动词,意为“认为,看作”;regard也可作名词,意为“尊重;关注”In another letter,Father Christmas complained about how he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up.在另一封信中,圣诞老人抱怨说他无法阻止他的助手们玩玩具,而不是把它们包起来The children must have been very excited as they opened it.孩子们打开时一定非常兴奋The letters were also beautifully illustrated--each must have taken its true author, Tolkien, a long time to complete.信里还配着精美的插图——它们真正的作者托尔金一定花了很长时间去完成每一幅画作Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good.值得关注的是，信里并没有那些常见的对孩子的警告，比如表现不好就可能得不到礼物之类的话。

Nowadays,some people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant,but not everyone is keen on this idea.现在,有些人选择在餐馆吃饭,但不是每个人都喜欢这个主意I really don’t think it’s worth the effort of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour cleaning up the mess after it’s over.花这么长时间准备一顿饭，饭后再花一个小时收拾，我真心觉得不值In my opinion, what or where we eat on Spring Festival Eve really doesn’t matter.在我看来，除夕夜我们吃什么、在哪里吃，真的不重要知识点补充： when and where作主语时算作单数例句: When and where was the first stamp made?第一张邮票是什么时候在哪里发行的?）Eating out may change the form of this tradition, but the love between the family members sitting around the table together remains the same.在外面的饭店吃年夜饭可能改变了这个传统的表现形式，但是围坐在餐桌前的家人之间的亲情并没有改变。

For me, it just won’t feel like Spring Festival having the dinner out.对我来说，在外面吃年夜饭(感觉起来)就不像过年It was not only for the delicious food that we seldom got to eat, but for the opportunity to have our whole family gathered together.不仅可以吃到平时难以吃到的美食，而且全家人能有机会团聚在一起I would run around the house, listening to the adults chatting about their year.那时我会在家里跑来跑去，听大人们闲聊他们这一年的情况In the evening, all of us would sit around the table, enjoying the food and being together again.到了晚上，我们都围坐在餐桌前，享受美食和团圆的乐趣What’s more,not only are these attended and enjoyed by Chinese citizens living abroad,but by many other nationalities,too.更重要的是,不仅海外的中国公民参加并享受这些活动,许多其他国籍的人也参加了。
