万圣节中英文介绍

OctoberOctober 3131 On October 31st dozens of children dressed in costumes 节日服装 knock on their neighbors doors and yell Trick or Treat when the door opens Pirates and princesses ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks Since the 800 s November 1st is a religious holiday known as All Saints Day 万圣节 The Mass that was said on this day was called Allhallowmas The evening before became known as All Hakkiw e en or Halloween Like some other American celebrations its origins lie in both pre Christian and Christian customs October 31 st was the eve of the Celtic 凯尔特人的 new year The Celts were the ancestors of the present day Irish Welsh and Scottish people On this day ghosts walked and mingled with the living or so the Celts thought The townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the dead Hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully before midnight of the new year Much later when Christianity spread throughout Ireland and October 31 was no longer the last day of the year Halloween became a celebration mostly for children Ghosts went from door to door asking for treats or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house When millions of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the 1840s the tradition came with them Today school dances and neighborhood parties called block parties are popular among young and old alike More and more adults celebrate Halloween They dress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties 化妆舞会 In larger cities costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better Certain pranks 恶作剧 such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world SymbolsSymbols ofof HalloweenHalloween Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits Witches flying on broomsticks with black

Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy 吝啬 的 that he was not allowed into heaven when he died because he was a miser 吝啬鬼 He couldn t enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil As a result Jack had to walk the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day 审判日 The Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips 芜菁根 beets 甜菜根 or potatoes representing Jack of the Lantern or Jack o lantern When the Irish brought their customs to the United States they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips Today jack o lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies 糖果 waiting if they knock and say Trick or Treat

woman who lived all by herself and she was very lonely Sitting in the kitchen one night she said Oh I wish I had some company No sooner had she spoken than down the chimney tumbled two feet from which the flesh had rotted The old woman s eyes bulged with terror Then two legs dropped to the hearth and attached themselves to the feet Then a body tumbled down then two arms and a man s head As the old woman watched the parts came together into a great tall man The man danced around and around the room Faster and faster he went Then he stopped and he looked into her eyes What do you come for she asked in a small voice that shivered and shook What do I come for he said I come for YOU The narrator shouts and jumps at the person near him 汉译 10 月 31 日 10 月 31 日 数十名身穿服装 节日服装 的儿童敲他们的邻居门并 大声喊着 捣乱
