Hello everyone and welcome back to EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
And my name is Katherine and it's the holiday season.
That's right.
It's almost Christmas.
And so we are bringing you one of the most typical Christmas songs for Christmas carols, I guess.
in all over the world probably that's right and i've heard it in many different languages even chinese yeah even chinese okay i'll have to ask yeah you have to ask but uh yeah we're talking about jingle bells today so the famous song jingle bells you'll hear it everywhere especially during the christmas season i only during the christmas season especially and uh so let's listen to the song the song is pretty long it has like a couple of different verses but we've taken the main one the first one and the chorus which are like the most famous ones and so let's listen to the song Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a slaying song tonight Jingle bells,
jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh,
what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh This is gonna be stuck in my head all day Marco.
I know it's kind of catchy though How can you not get into the spirit with this song?
Well as you said a carol a Christmas carol is a song and they're meant to be catchy You know you get them in your head and they stay there forever I think it's also
because every mall or shopping center you go to they're playing these songs So they just kind of get stuck in your head in the background all the time Yeah,
exactly makes you want to shop more or kill someone all right so there were probably a couple of different words that you didn't understand here so we're gonna go through the whole song little by little and we'll explain it so starting out with the first line it says dashing through the snow well okay This is interesting
because in sports,
there's an event called a 100 meter dash.
OK, so a dash is a very quick run.
Very fast, right?
That's right.
So dashing through the snow is you're kind of running or going through the snow very quickly.
We don't know who is running through the snow,
