25年來，這位圣誕老人每天都要花時間在他狹小的公屋內整理包裝禮物，并堅持騎車給窮苦人送禮物，一直到他去世。

He could almost pass for Santa if he had more real teeth than tattoos, didn't chain-smoke and rode with reindeer instead of on a motor tricycle.
假如他身上不是有那么多紋身，比他的真牙還多，不一根接一根地抽煙，不是騎著三輪摩托而是乘馴鹿去送禮物，他長得活脫脫地就像圣誕老人。

To thousands of admirers he was the Kings Cross Santa Claus. And just like Santa's fabled North Pole workshop, this old biker's tiny inner-city home was packed year-round with Christmas gifts.
然而，對成千上萬的仰慕者而言，他是英皇十字區的圣誕老人。就像傳說中圣誕老人的北極工作室一樣，這位老人位于市中心平民區的狹小的房屋中一年到頭都堆滿了圣誕禮物。

For two decades, Randall 'Animal' Nelson spent part of every day in his sixth-floor public housing unit at Waterloo, in inner-city Sydney sorting, wrapping and packing presents for Sydney's sick and underprivileged until his death.
二十年來，外號“動物”的蘭德爾?內爾森每天都要花時間在他位于六樓的公屋內整理、包裝他要送給悉尼窮苦人的禮物，一直到他去世。

One bedroom still sits half filled with carefully labelled boxes the bearded biker will not be able to deliver in person for the first time in 25 years. In the lounge room is his 'office' where Animal sat for hours preparing Christmas packages for hospital patients, local children and anyone who might otherwise go without a gift.
在這位大胡子圣誕老人死后，25年以來他第一次未能親自送達的禮物堆滿了半個臥室，每個禮物都細致地貼好了標簽。客廳是他的辦公室，他曾經在那里一坐數小時，給醫院的病人、當地的小孩和那些沒有圣誕禮物的人準備禮物。

And just like that other Santa, Animal received stacks of correspondence, all of which he kept.
和其他圣誕老人一樣，“動物”收到的來信堆得高高的，所有信件他都一直保存著。
