A group of 320 surfing Santas in Australia have set a new world record at the nation’s most popular beach in a display that is quint essentially an Australian Christmas.

　　一组320名圣诞老人在在澳大利亚最著名的海滩冲浪的照片，创造了新的世界记录。这真是标准的澳大利亚式圣诞节。

　　As the Aussie Christmas carol by Lesley Sabogal goes: "Christmas where the gum trees grow, there is not frost and there is no snow. Christmas in Australia’s hot, cold and frosty is what it’s not," locals flock to beaches and watering holes to cool off over summer.

　　就像莱斯莉唱的澳洲的圣诞颂歌那样：“桉树生长的地方的圣诞节，没有冰天雪地也没有鹅毛大雪。圣诞节在澳大利亚是火热的，它不冰凉更不冷。”当地人涌向海滩和酒吧，清凉过夏天。

　　Sydney’s famous Bondi Beach became a sea of red and white late Tuesday, and 320 jolly surfers donning Santa costumes set a new Guinness World Record for a mass 30-minute surfing lesson to help raise awareness for mental health issues.

　　星期二（12月15日），悉尼著名的邦迪海滩成为一片红白相间的海洋，320个快乐的冲浪者套上圣诞老人服装，团体学习时长为30分钟的冲浪课程，打破了吉尼斯世界纪录。活动募集到的款项将用于心理疾病的治疗。

　　"It’s good, it’s awesome, a lot of people, a lot of fun, a lot of energy, (it’s) exciting," one surfing Santa told the BBC.

　　“这太棒了，令人敬畏。很多人，非常开心，满满的能量，（这是）太刺激了，”一个参加冲浪的圣诞老人告诉BBC记者。

　　The group organising the surf lesson is also responsible for "Fluro Fridays" where surfers dress up in colorful and outrageous outfits to help break the stigma of mental health.

　　组织冲浪课的团体也负责“Fluro星期五”的活动，冲浪者们穿着五颜六色的奇装异服来帮助心理疾病患者走出阴影。
