今年,我们将为您献上一个传统的欧洲圣诞故事,当Austin遇上可怕的圣诞恶魔。恶魔名为Krampus或Cert,它的读音是Chert。这位履行职责的魔鬼认为帮Austin长长记性,使他在下一年好好表现是个好主意,所以打他一顿屁股会是个不错的办法。对魔鬼来说,他度过了一个愉快的圣诞节。
Merry Christmas everybody.

Krampus (Christmas Demon)
In Central European folklore, Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure described as half goat, half demon. Who during the Christmas season punishes boys like Austin who have misbehaved. This contrasts of course with Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus, who rewards the well behaved with gifts.
在中欧的民间传说中,Krampus是一位有角的拟人化角色,它的形象被描述为一半山羊一半恶魔。在圣诞节期间,他会去惩罚像Austin那样行为不端的男孩。当然,这与圣诞老人Saint Nicholas形成鲜明对比,后者会用礼物奖励表现良好的孩子。
