万圣节的资料英汉 Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means “holy evening,“ and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly. Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack- o-lanterns, which means “Jack of the lantern“. The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,“Trick or treat! Money or eat!“ The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags. Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young. 万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的 意思是“神圣的夜晚” ，在每年的 10月 31日，也就是万圣 节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是 孩子们的节日。 每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出 大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点 燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。 这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems” ，意思也就是“杰克的 灯” 。 每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人 的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋 子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待 就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖 放在他们的袋子里了。 不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前 夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮 成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。 万圣节：Halloween 南瓜：Pumpkin 糖不美观：candy 妖精：goblin 骨头：bones 巫婆：witch 巫师：warlock witch 女巫 halloween costume 万圣节服装 skeleton 骨架 bat 蝙蝠 mask 面具 Grim Reaper 死神 spider web 蜘蛛网 treat or trick不请吃就捣鬼“(指万圣节孩子们挨家 逐户要糖不美观等礼物,如不遂愿便恶作剧一番的风尚。) Jack-o-lantern 在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用 土豆和罗卜建造“杰克的灯笼” ，他们把中心挖失踪、概况 上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万
