万圣节英语介绍
One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.
关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔半兰人，因为他对钱特别的吝啬，就不允许他进入天堂，而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地狱，罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。
Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or , hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern." 在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和罗卜制作“杰克的灯笼”，他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节，孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞计食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”，缩写为
Jack-o'-lantern ，现在拼写为jack-o-lantern。
The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school. Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. And from black paper you'd cut "scary" designs ---an evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across the moon, and that meant bad luck. And of course black cats for more bad luck.
现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。在小学校里，万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。孩子们会制作万圣节的装饰品：各种各样桔红色的南瓜灯。你可以用黑色的纸做一个可怕的造形——一个骑在扫帚把上戴著尖尖帽子的女巫飞过天空，或者是黑蝙蝠飞过月亮。这些都代表恶运。当然黑猫代表运气更差。
Sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom. And on Halloween night we'd dress up in Mom or Dad's old shoes and clothes, put on a mask, and be ready to go outside. The little kids (children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers, but we older ones went together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, "Trick or treat!" meaning, "Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!" 有时候会出现黑猫骑在女巫扫帚后面飞向天空的造形。在万圣节的晚上，我们都穿着爸爸妈妈的旧衣服和旧鞋子，戴上面具，打算外出。比我们小的孩子必须和他们的母亲一块出去，我们大一点的就一起哄到领居家，按他们的门铃并大声喊道：“恶作剧还是招待！”意思是给我们吃的，要不我们就捉弄你。
The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes. Oh! here's a ghost. Oh, there's a witch. Oh, here's an old lady. Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch. But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our "trick or treat bags." But what if no one come to the door, or if someone chased us away?
里边的人们应该评价我们的化装。“噢！这是鬼，那是女巫，这是个老太婆。” 有时候他们会跟我们一起玩，假装被鬼或者女巫吓着了。但是他们通常会带一些糖果或者苹果放进我们的“恶作剧还是招待”的口袋里。可是要是没人回答门铃或者是有人把我们赶开该怎么办呢？Then we'd play a trick on them, usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows. And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy. One popular teen-agers' Halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper. The paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off.
我们就捉弄他们，通常是拿一块肥皂把他们的玻璃涂得乱七八糟。然后我们回家，数数谁的糖果最多。还有一个典型的万圣节花招是把一卷手纸拉开，不停地往树上扔，直到树全被白纸裹起。除非下大雪或大雨把纸冲掉，纸会一直呆在树上。
No real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. One kind of Halloween .
这并不造成真正的伤害，只是把树和院子搞乱，一种万圣节的恶作剧
万圣节的来历
万圣节来历 许多西方节日继续蔓延到中国，如感恩节、圣诞节和万圣节。这些西方节日也成为中国人喜欢的传统节日。万圣节也叫鬼节。你知道万圣节的真正起源是什么吗? 万圣节的传说故事 1、南瓜雕空当灯笼 万圣节还有南瓜雕空当灯笼的故事，这源于古代爱尔兰。故事是说一个名叫杰克的人，他是个醉汉且爱恶作剧。一天杰克把恶魔骗上了树，随即在树桩上刻了个十字，恐吓恶魔令他不敢下来，然后杰克就与恶魔约法三章，让恶魔答应施法让杰克永远不会犯罪为条件让他下树。 杰克死后，因他不相信神，其灵魂却既不能上天堂又不能下地狱，于是只好将一个萝卜挖空，在里边放一根小蜡烛(或说一块燃烧的炭)照着，指引他在天地之间倘佯。而据说后来爱尔兰人到了美国不久，即发现南瓜不论从来源和雕刻来说都比萝卜更胜一筹，于是萝卜灯逐渐演变成今天的南瓜灯。 2、灵魂之饼 传说，万圣节的习俗始于公元九世纪的欧洲基督教会。那时的11月2日，被基督徒们称为“ALL SOULS DAY”(万灵之日)。相传在这一天，信徒们跋涉于僻壤乡间，挨家挨户乞讨用面粉及葡萄干制成的“灵魂之饼”。据说捐赠糕饼的人家都会得到上帝的佑护，让死去的亲人早日进入天堂，这种挨家乞讨的传统传至当今，演变成了孩子们提着南瓜灯笼讨糖吃的游戏。 万圣节的真正来历是什么 万圣节在每年的11月1日，是西方的传统节日。不过10月31日又称为万圣节前夕，在万圣节前夕是这个节日最热闹的时刻。 万圣节相当与中国的鬼节，不过并不像中国鬼节一样烧香祭祖，相反，西方的万圣节是一种独具特色的节日，人们欢聚在一起，你们肯定就想知道万圣节是怎么来的，其实呢万圣节的来历有2种说法。 1、两千多年前，欧洲的天主教会把11月1日定为“天下圣徒之日”，“HALLOW”即圣徒之意。传说自公元前五百年，居住在爱尔兰、苏格兰等地的凯尔特人把这节日往前移

However, before the ritual celebration of New Years Eve never really eliminated, but in the form of witchcraft. This is why we are Halloween, but are also left witches broom, black cat, spells and other marks. 关于万圣节由来的传说有许多版本，最普遍的认为，那是源于基督诞生前的古西欧国家，主要包括爱尔兰、苏格兰和威尔士。这几处的古西欧人叫德鲁伊特人。德鲁伊特的新年在十一月一日，新年前夜，德鲁伊特人让年轻人集队，戴着各种怪异面具，拎着刻好的萝卜灯(南瓜灯系后期习俗，古西欧最早没有南瓜)，他们游走于村落间。这在当时实则为一种秋收的庆典;也有说是“鬼节”，传说当年死去的人，灵魂会在万圣节的前夜造访人世，据说人们应该让造访的鬼魂看到圆满的收成并对鬼魂呈现出丰盛的款待。所有篝火及灯火，一来为了吓走鬼魂，同时也为鬼魂照亮路线，引导其回归。 在中世纪的中欧，曾有过基督教摧毁异教徒的历史。可是新年夜前的祭祀庆典从未真正消除，不过以巫术的形式出现。这也就是为什么我们现在的万圣节里，还留有巫婆的扫帚、黑猫、咒语等痕迹。 万圣节习俗 Trick or Treating is a modern Halloween custom where children go from house to house dressed in costume, asking for treats like candy or toys.

【万圣节】万圣节节日起源是什么
万圣节节日起源是什么 万圣节节日起源 1名称由来 万圣节服装万圣节是西方国家的传统节日。这一夜是一年中人们认为会“闹鬼”的一夜，所以也叫“鬼节”。华语地区常将万圣夜误称为万圣节。“Hallow”来源于中古英语halwen，与holy词源很接近，在苏格兰,英格兰和加拿大的某些区域，万圣节仍然被称为“All Hallow Mas”，意思是在纪念所有的圣人(Hallow)那一天，要举行的弥撒仪式(Mass)。 两千多年前，欧洲的基督教会把11月1日定为“天下圣徒之日” (ALL HALLOWSDAY) 。“HALLOW” 即圣徒之意。传说自公元前五百年，居住在爱尔兰、苏格兰等地的凯尔特人(CELTS) 把这节日往前移了一天，即10月31日。他们认为该日是夏天正式结束的日子，也就是新年伊始，严酷的冬季开始的一天。那时人们相信，故人的亡魂会在这一天回到故居地在活人身上找寻生灵，借此再生，而且这是人在死后能获得再生的唯一希望。而活着的人则惧怕死人的魂灵来夺生，于是人们就在这一天熄掉炉火、烛光，让死人的魂灵无法找到活人，又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人的魂灵吓走。之后，他们又会把火种、烛光重新燃起，开始新的一年的生活。 万圣节原本其实是赞美秋天的节日，就好像五月节是赞美春天一样。古代高卢、不列颠和爱尔兰的祭司德鲁伊德有一个赞美秋天的盛大节日，从10月31日的午夜到次日11月1日，持续整整一天。他们认为，在那天晚上他们伟大的死神萨曼把那年死去人的鬼魂统统召来，这些恶鬼要受到托生为畜类的惩罚。当然，只要想到这种鬼魅的聚会，就足以令当时那些头脑简单的愚民胆战心惊了。于是他们点起冲天的篝火，并严密监视这些恶鬼。万圣节前夜到处有女巫

英语版介绍万圣节
Part 1 The Origin of Halloween 万圣节的由来 Halloween is an annual celebration, but just what is it actually a celebration of? And how did this peculiar custom originate? Is it, as some claim, a kind of demon worship? Or is it just a harmless vestige of some ancient pagan ritual? Halloween is one of the oldest holidays with origins going back thousands of years. The holiday we know as Halloween has had many influences from many cultures over the centuries. From the Roman's Pomona Day, to the Celtic festival of Samhain, to the Christian holidays of All Saints and All Souls Days. Hundreds of years ago in what is now Great Britain and Northern France, lived the Celts. The Celts worshipped nature and had many gods, with the sun god as their favorite. It was "he" who commanded their work and their rest times, and who made the earth beautiful and the crops grow. The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year. One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living. Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.
万圣节英文介绍-最新范文
万圣节英文介绍 篇一：万圣节相关英语词汇 大家普遍认为10月31日是万圣节,实际上这并不是完全正确。更确切地说,10月31日的晚上称作万圣节前夜（The Eve of All Hallows）或是万圣节之夜（The eve of All Saints’ Day）,因为11月1日是天下圣徒之日（All Hallows Day）,只不过为了方便,逐渐演变成了万圣节（Halloween）。最近几年,万圣节在国内变得流行起来,但是有些有关万圣节的小知识,却并没有很多人知道。我们来看看万圣节都有哪些不太为人所知的小知识吧。 Jack-o’-lantern 南瓜灯 说到万圣节,就免不了联想到南瓜灯。南瓜灯的英文名是Jack-o’-lantern,让人不禁好奇,这Jack-o’-lantern里的Jack究竟是谁呢？为什么南瓜灯以他的名字命名呢？ 根据牛津英语词典（Oxford English Dictionary）的记载,在17世纪,Jack-o’-lantern的本意是“一个提着灯笼的男人;守夜人”,在这里,Jack这个名字可以指代任何人,就像jack of all trades（万事通）里的Jack一样。到了1673年,Jack-o’-lantern这个词又被赋予了新的含义,指代户外出现的神秘亮光,也就是鬼火（will-o’-the-wisp）。 每年万圣节前夜制作灯笼的习俗起源于不列颠群岛（the British Isles）,不过当时人们用的不是南瓜,而是大头菜（turnip）。后来在
北美洲,人们发现南瓜更容易掏空,就选择了南瓜来做灯笼,渐渐地,Jack-o’-lantern就用来指代南瓜灯了。 Trick-or-Treating 不给糖,就捣乱 对于孩子们来说,万圣节最重要的的活动就是“trick or treat（不给糖就捣乱）”了,不过这个习俗也是后来才有的。虽然在20世纪早期,北美洲的年轻人就有在万圣节之夜穿奇装异服、雕刻南瓜灯的习俗,不过却没有挨家挨户讨糖果的说法。倒是在19世纪,苏格兰以及英格兰某些地区的孩子们有着guising（穿化装服并常带面具登门拜访）和souling（富人要向祷告者分发食物）的习惯。牛津英语语料库（Oxford English Corpus）中说道,trick or treat相当于guising 的现代版。 Mischief Night 恶作剧之夜 虽说孩子们嘴里喊着“不给糖就捣乱”,但他们并不会真的做出什么坏事,一般来说,他们的家长都会陪在他们身边。相反,在北美洲,恶作剧会发生在万圣节之前的10月30日的夜晚,青少年们会砸南瓜,扔鸡蛋,用厕纸来装饰树木。 篇二：万圣节介绍：英文版 智课网IELTS备考资料 万圣节介绍：英文版 摘要：万圣节是西方国家的传统节日,很受西方人的重视,为了让大

万圣节由来介绍 万圣节（All Saints' Day）在每年的11月1日，是西方传统节日。10月31日被称为万圣节前夕（Halloween）。中国国内直接用“万圣节”指“万圣节前夜”，而用“万灵节”或“诸圣节”表示11月1日的万圣节。万圣节源自古代凯尔特民族（Celtic）的新年节庆，此时也是祭祀亡魂的时刻，在避免恶灵干扰的同时，也以食物祭拜祖灵及善灵以祈平安渡过严冬 每年的10月31日是西方传统节日万圣节前夜（Halloween），当晚小孩会穿上化妆服，戴上面具，挨家挨户收集榶果。 华中最盛大鬼怪大巡游——“幽灵盛典大巡游”;鬼门大开之时“百鬼夜行”惊悚上演 节日主要流行于英语界，如不列颠群岛和北美，其次是澳大利亚和新西兰。当天主教传教士登陆不列颠诸岛的时候，传教士们为了压制这种被他们视为异端的德鲁伊传统，就把这一天之后的11月第一天定为万圣节，纪念天主教的圣人们，希望以此打压这些鬼怪观念，所以说是先有鬼节，后有万圣节。也因为这个原因，实际上万圣节和鬼节的习俗，主要是在英伦三岛和北美的前英属殖民地，也就是美国、加拿大、澳大利亚，新西兰等国家。其中，美国的万圣节前夕传统最初来自于爱尔兰和苏格兰的移民，于19世纪传入。而其他发达国家则于20世纪末受美国流行文化影响而开始庆祝万圣节前夕。 万圣节源自古代凯尔特民族(Celtic)的新年节庆，此时也是祭祀亡魂的时刻，在避免恶灵干扰的同时，也以食物祭拜祖灵及善灵以祈平安渡过严冬。当晚小孩会穿上化妆服，戴上面具，挨家挨户收集糖果， 10月31日是西方的鬼节，而不是万圣节，这是最初译者以讹传讹，流传至今。人们在鬼节这天吃南瓜饼、化装、戴假面具，尤其在晚上恶作剧；孩子们会挨家挨户敲门，问主人trick or treat? ”倘若主人拿出糖果招待，就开心离去，假如拿不出糖果就会被孩子们恶搞一通。10月31日除了是鬼节外，还是宗教改革运动纪念日。
