每到11月，坐落于Bourke street上的Myer橱窗前，总是挤满了大人小孩，人头攒动。这样的场景对于常驻墨尔本CBD的小伙伴并不陌生。要知道对于不少人而言，观看圣诞橱窗（Christmas animated windows）已经是一个庆祝圣诞新年的一个保留活动了呢!至今，Myer的圣诞橱窗已经走过第61个年头了，去年的《little dog and Christmas wish》的故事依然记忆犹新。那么，今年的橱窗又说了什么样的一个故事呢？赶快来跟着无忧小雅哥看看吧！

This year’s spectacular Christmas Windows is based on the new children’s book ‘One Christmas Eve’ by author Corinne Fenton and illustrator Marjorie Crosby-Fairall.

今年的圣诞橱窗故事是由Corinne Fenton编写和Marjorie Crosby-Fairall插画的儿童书《一个平安夜》改编的。

The book tells the story of Bella on Christmas Eve in 1968 when she visits her Grandparents in St Kilda for a typical Australian BBQ. Bella and her grandfather head to Luna Park and she is given the choice of one ride so she chooses the magical carousel.

今年的场景设定在1968年，主人公Bella在Christmas Eve那天去了在St. Kilda的外公外婆家，吃BBQ (这个设定真的是非常有澳洲特色~) 。St. Kilda的标志性地标Luna Park也在故事中出现。故事中，Bella和她的外公去了Luna Park，乘坐旋转木马。

She jumps on the horse and lets her imagination take hold as she daydreams about the ‘Majestic Horse’ taking her high above the clouds over Melbourne and being greeted by Santa’s sleigh and his reindeers.

当Bella骑上木马的时候，她幻想着自己骑着一匹‘魔幻木马’，这匹木马载着她飞向云端，在墨尔本的上空，她遇见了圣诞老人和他的驯鹿。

Once the ride ends, Bella’s dream fades back to reality and she heads home with her grandfather. When Bella wakes on Christmas Day, she is delighted to unwrap a rocking horse that her Grandfather hand-carved for her to resemble the ‘Majestic Horse’ she rode on the carousel.

当旋转木马停下后，Bella也慢慢回到现实,接着就和她的外公回家了。当她在圣诞节那天醒来的时候，她发现外公给她的圣诞礼物是一匹玩具摇摆马，和她在旋转木马上骑得那匹一模一样。

This year’s theme features 3D adaptions of some of Melbourne’s most iconic sites including Luna Park, The Palais Theatre and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Brought to life once again by the incredible John Kerr and the talented team at Stage ONE, this year’s windows feature over 10,000 festoon lights, 120 individual 55cm characters, 5,000 miniature figurines and took over 30 artisans 17,000 hours to create.

今年比较特别的一点就是，用了3D的技术将墨尔本最有特色的地标投映在橱窗里。今年的橱窗使用了超过10,000个彩灯，120个55cm高的人偶，以及5000个微型雕像，花费了30位手工艺人17000小时来创造。

看到这里，大家是不是都没有想到，看上去那么简单的故事，竟然包含了那么多工匠的心血与精力在其中。要说得是，这一次的橱窗到明年1月15号就结束了哦~还没去看的小伙伴要抓紧时间啦！
