↑↑↑点击播放，第一遍：

I am getting very excited, it's nearly Christmas.

我越来越兴奋了，马上就要到圣诞节了。

I love Christmas! All the food, the presents, the silly games and the…

我喜欢圣诞节！美食、礼物、有趣的游戏还有……

Oh, Feifei, did you hear the boss wants us to agree to work on Christmas Day?

哦，菲菲，你有没有听老板说他希望我们同意圣诞节上班？

Really? Why? I would never agree to that!

真的吗？为什么？我是绝对不会同意的！

I don't know, but he wanted us to agree to it. So I told him us agreeing to work on Christmas Day would be like turkeys voting for Christmas.

我也不知道，不过他希望我们同意。所以我告诉他同意在圣诞节上班就像火鸡支持过圣诞节一样。

'Like turkeys voting for Christmas'? Rob, I know you like your turkey dinner but what's this got to do with turkeys?

像火鸡支持过圣诞节一样？罗布，我知道你喜欢火鸡晚餐，可是这和火鸡有什么关系？

Let me explain, Feifei. As you know, lots of people eat turkeys at Christmas. So, do you think if the turkeys had a choice, they would vote for Christmas?

菲菲，我来解释。如你所知，许多人会在圣诞节那天吃火鸡。那你认为如果火鸡可以选择，它们会支持过圣诞节吗？

No, of course not, it would be crazy for them to vote for Christmas because they get eaten.

不会，当然不会，如果它们同意过圣诞节那它们一定是疯了，因为它们会被吃掉啊。

That's right. So in English, we use this idiom 'like turkeys voting for Christmas' as a metaphor when someone accepts a situation which will have a negative outcome for them.

没错。所以在英语中，当有人接受会给他们带来负面结果的情况时，我们就会用“像火鸡支持过圣诞节一样”这个习语。

Ah, so in our case, if we agree to work on Christmas Day then we can't have the food, the presents or the drinks; And more importantly, we can't spend time with our family which will be really disappointing.

啊，所以像我们的情况，如果我们同意在圣诞节上班那我们就不能享用美食、礼物还有饮料了；更重要的是，我们不能和家人一起度过美好时光了，这将是非常让人失望的。

Exactly! It will be 'like turkeys voting for Christmas'.

完全正确！这就像火鸡同意过圣诞节一样。

Remember this is an informal saying so do take note of the context it's used in.

要记住，这是个非正式用语，所以要注意使用的语境。
