513——Debbie让Mel和Linz回家过的节日——光明节介绍
在Toni的一个楼里发过相同的帖子，因为在中间，估计就被直接忽略了，呵呵。所以重新发一个新的，希望能给大家理解剧情、了解老美带来些帮助，哈！
另外，Hallelujah （我是他图文的Fans，哈）在他的帖子里有相关的介绍：

大家如果想知道更多512 513中台词的背景知识可以看Toni的帖子，非常不错的！

关于光明节，在http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/eng ... /content_359303.htm上找到些资料（大致翻译和个人分析的它在剧情中的作用在下面）
Chanukah
every year between the end of November and the end of December (Jewish world )
Every year between the end of November and the end of December, Jewish people around the world celebrate the holiday of Chanukah, the Festival of Lights. Chanukah begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew (希伯来的) month of Kislev (历法：基色娄月，即犹太教历9月，犹太国历3月，在公历11、12月间，共29或30天), but the starting date on the western calendar varies from year to year. The holiday celebrates the events which took place over 2,300 years ago in the land of Judea（朱迪亚，古巴勒斯坦南部地区，包括今巴勒斯坦南部地区和约旦的西南部地区）, which is now Israel.
Jews celebrate Chanukah to mark the victory over the Syrians and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. The Festival of the Lights, Chanukah, lasts for eight days to commemorate the miracle of the oil. The word Chanukah means "rededication".
Long ago in the land of Judea there was a Syrian king, Antiochus. The king ordered the Jewish people to reject their God, their religion, their customs and their beliefs and to worship the Greek gods. There were some who did as they were told, but many refused. One who refused was Judah Maccabee.
Judah and his four brothers formed an army and chose as their name the word "Maccabee", which means hammer. After three years of fighting, the Maccabees were finally successful in driving the Syrians out of Israel and reclaimed the Temple in Jerusalem（耶路撒冷大庙）. The Maccabees wanted to clean the building and to remove the hated Greek symbols and statues. On the 25th day of the month of Kislev, the job was finished and the temple was rededicated.
When Judah and his followers finished cleaning the temple, they wanted to light the eternal light, known as the N'er Tamid, which is present in every Jewish house of worship. Once lit, the oil lamp should never be extinguished.
Only a tiny jug of oil was found with only enough for a single day. The oil lamp was filled and lit. Then a miracle occurred as the tiny amount of oil stayed lit not for one day, but for eight days.
In America, families celebrate Chanukah at home. They give and receive gifts, decorate the house, entertain friends and family, eat special foods, and light the holiday menorah（犹太教神殿中用的大烛台）.
上面的翻译大致如下：
光明节（Chanukah）
每年的十一岁末十二岁初。犹太节日。
每年的十一岁末到十二月初，世界各地的犹太人会庆祝光明节（Festival of Lights）。光明节在希伯来历基色娄月（month of Kislev）（历法：基色娄月，即犹太教历9月，犹太国历3月，在公历11、12月间，共29或30天）的第25天开始，但在西历上开始的日期却年年都不相同。这个节日是为了庆祝2300年前在朱迪亚（Judea，古巴勒斯坦南部地区，包括今巴勒斯坦南部地区和约旦的西南部地区，今以色列）发生的一件事。
犹太人庆祝光明节是为了纪念战胜叙利亚人和重建耶路撒冷大庙。光明节（Chanukah）持续8天，以纪念灯油的奇迹（下文有述）。Chanukah的意思是“重新供奉（rededication）”。
很久很久以前，在朱迪亚住着一位叙利亚国王，安太阿卡斯（Antiochus）。他命令犹太人背弃他们的神、宗教、习俗和信仰，并强迫他们崇敬希腊诸神。有的犹太人照做了，但大部分违抗了他的命令。其中有一个人名叫Judah Maccabee。
Judah和他的四个兄弟组建了一支军队，并取名Maccabee，意思是“锤子”。经过三年的抗争，他们最终将叙利亚人赶出了以色利，并修缮了耶路撒冷大庙。他们想要彻底打扫建筑，并清除可恶的希腊标志物和雕像。在基色娄月（month of Kislev）的第25天，大功告成，大庙成功修缮。
Judah和他的信徒们清扫好大庙后，他们希望点燃永恒之火，也就是N'er Tamid，在每个犹太人家里它象征着崇敬。一旦点燃，油灯应该永不熄灭。
但他们只找到了一小壶灯油，仅仅能够维持一天。油灯被填满，点亮。继而，奇迹发生了：本只够一天的丁点儿灯油竟足足维持了八天！
在美国，人们在家中庆祝光明节。大家互赠礼物，装饰房间，跟朋友和家人一起玩乐，吃一些特别的食物，并点亮光明节烛台（holiday menorah（犹太教神殿中用的大烛台））。
从中，我们可以发现，光明节是一个家庭性很强的节日，所以，DEBBIE这么说，是把Mel当作了家人，让她回家来过光明节！希望Mel和LInz在放弃了为14法案争论不休美国时，依然会永远留恋在美国这一群朋友，家人！
