作者介绍
Jingle Bells的词曲作者詹姆斯·罗德·皮尔彭特(James Lord Pierpont,25 April 1805 - 5 August 1886)毕业于耶鲁大学，他遵照祖父的意愿，做了一名教师。由于他对学生总是慈祥宽容而缺乏严厉，保守的教育界就把他挤走了。皮尔彭特又当了律师，他渴望用自己的努力来维护法律的公正，他不屑于当时美国律师界流行的“谁有钱就为谁服务”的原则，看到好人受到不公正的待遇，他总是不计报酬地为之奔忙，而如果当事人是恶棍，即使酬金丰厚，他也不予理睬。其他律师对于皮尔彭特这样的做法，自然是无法容忍的，很快，他只好又离开了律师的职位，做了一名推销纺织品的商人。可是，在竞争残酷的生意场上，他总是因为心地仁慈而使对手获利、让自己吃亏。最后，他只好又当了牧师，想引导人们的心灵走向善良。然而，由于他极力支持禁酒和反对奴隶制而得罪了教区信徒，只好被迫辞职。Jingle Bells
与之前所有人的共识不同，约翰·皮尔彭特并不是这首曲子的作者，并且也没有很坎坷的经历。现有的故事是来自Robert Flughum的"It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It"（2006年出版），但该故事面世伊始就遭到了强烈的抨击——因为作者为了达到感人的效果而不惜歪曲历史，将约翰·皮尔彭特先生写成一个失败者（相关资料见附录）。事实上，皮尔彭特先生是一个才华横溢的诗人与声名远播的教育家（参见维基百科），只有他晚年的生活不甚如意。故事里写他早年就穷困潦倒，这不符合史实——1821年时他就因在Boston's English Classical School建立过程中做出的贡献而受到全国的关注，同时他也并非耶鲁大学毕业——先在巴尔的摩读书，后来到了哈佛。另外，在文学方面他也并非平庸之辈：他的宣扬废除奴隶制的诗歌经常被人朗诵，同时他与人合着的剧本也受到了热烈欢迎。

Dashing through the snow In a one- horse open sleigh Over the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight圣诞舞曲铃儿响叮噹
OH,Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh,what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells,jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh,what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh铃儿响叮噹图片
A day or two ago I thought I take a ride And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot He's got into a drifted bank And we, we got upsot
OH,Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh,what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells,jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh,what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, The story I must tell I went out on the snow, And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh, He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away.
OH,Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh,what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells,jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh,what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
Now the ground is white Go it while you're young, Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob-tailed bay two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead.
OH,Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh,what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells,jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh,what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
那篇感人肺腑但是谬误百出的故事原文标题为"The Failure Story of John Pierpont" ”皮尔彭特失败的故事”（By Robert Fuglem 作者：罗伯特·Fuglem），在故事的最后刊登者写了一个附注，原文如下：
"PS: An inaccuracy
It seems that the facts of the above story are not quite right and I have received more than one email informing me of the mistake. The latest, received 9 April 2004, reads:
Mr. Fulghum is totally inaccurate in the facts he used in his story.
Poor research = poor author!!
My great grandfather, James Lord Pierpont is the composer of "Jingle Bells". John Pierpont was his father, my great great grandfather. He was hardly considered a failure. If you will research his life, you will find you are wasting your sympathies!
Very truly yours,
Constance Turner
The inaccuracy somewhat dimishes the value of the story of John Pierpont. But since storythis essay is about how the affected me, I've decided to retain it here."
