❶ 關於萬聖節的英語短文

Halloween
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.
萬聖節前夕
萬聖節前夕是美國人年年都會慶祝的秋季節日。它的意思是「神聖的夜晚」，在每年的10月31日，也就是萬聖節前夜。但實際上這不是一個真正的宗教節日，而主要是孩子們的節日。
每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的時候，孩子們就會挑出大個兒的橙色南瓜。然後在南瓜上刻上一張臉，把一根點燃的蠟燭放在裡面。看起來就好像有人在向南瓜外面張望。這些燈就叫做「iack-o『-lantems」，意思也就是「傑克的燈」。
每年萬聖節前夕孩子們還戴上奇怪的面具，穿上嚇人的服裝。有些孩子把臉刷成怪物。然後他們拿著盒子或袋子挨家挨戶串門。每來到一個新房子他們就說：「不款待就搗亂!給錢還是吃的!」大人們就會把用來招待的錢或糖放在他們的袋子里了。
不僅孩子，許多成年人也喜歡萬聖節前夕和萬聖節前夕晚會。因為這一天他們可以根據自己的想像把自己裝扮成名流或幽靈。這會帶給他們年輕的快感。

❷ 萬聖節英語短文

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?

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 ring 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.

Probably a better explanation of why the Celts extinguished their fires was not to discourage spirit possession, but so that all the Celtic tribes could relight their fires from a common source, the Druidic fire that was kept burning in the Middle of Ireland, at Usinach.

Some accounts tell of how the Celts would burn someone at the stake who was thought to have already been possessed, as sort of a lesson to the spirits. Other accounts of Celtic history debunk these stories as myth.

The Romans adopted the Celtic practices as their own. But in the first century AD, Samhain was assimilated into celebrations of some of the other Roman traditions that took place in October, such as their day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple, which might explain the origin of our modern tradition of bobbing for apples on Halloween.

The thrust of the practices also changed over time to become more ritualized. As belief in spirit possession waned, the practice of dressing up like hobgoblins, ghosts, and witches took on a more ceremonial role.

The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840's by Irish immigrants fleeing their country's potato famine. At that time, the favorite pranks in New England included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates.

The custom of trick-or-treating is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called souling. On November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a soul's passage to heaven.

The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree.

According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

The Irish used turnips as their "Jack's lanterns" originally. But when the immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern in America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.

So, although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices. It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year, and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans. And today, even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids. After all, the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

不給糖吃就搗亂
萬聖節的一個有趣內容是「Trick or treat」，這習俗卻並非源自愛爾蘭，而是始於公元九世紀的歐洲基督教會。那時的11月2日，被基督徒們稱為 「ALL SOULS DAY」（萬靈之日）。在這一天，信徒們跋涉於僻壤鄉間，挨村挨戶乞討用麵粉及葡萄乾製成的「靈魂之餅」。據說捐贈糕餅的人家都相信教會僧人的祈禱，期待由此得到上帝的佑護，讓死去的親人早日進入天堂。這種挨家乞討的傳統傳至當今竟演變成了孩子們提著南瓜燈籠挨家討糖吃的游戲。見面時，打扮成鬼精靈模樣的孩子們千篇一律地都要發出「不請客就要 萬聖節南瓜
搗亂（不給糖就搗蛋）」的威脅，而主人自然不敢怠慢，忙聲說「請吃！請吃！」同時把糖果放進孩子們隨身攜帶的大口袋裡。還有一種習俗，就是每家都要在每口放很多南瓜燈，如果不請客（不給糖） ，孩子們就踩爛他一個南瓜燈。 還有南瓜雕空當燈籠的故事。這又是源於古代愛爾蘭。故事是說一個名叫 JACK 的人，是個醉漢且愛惡作劇。一天 JACK 把惡魔騙上了樹，隨即在樹樁上刻了個十字，恐嚇惡魔令他不敢下來，然後 JACK 就與惡魔約法三章，讓惡魔答應施法讓JACK 永遠不會犯罪為條件讓他下樹。 JACK 死後，其靈魂卻既不能上天堂又不能下地獄，於是他的亡靈只好靠一根小蠟燭照著指引他在天地之間倘佯。 在古老的愛爾蘭傳說里，這根小蠟燭是在一根挖空的蘿卜里放著，稱作「JACK LANTERNS」，而古老的蘿卜燈演變到今天，則是南瓜做的 Jack-O-Lantern 了。據說愛爾蘭人到了美國不久，即發現南瓜不論從來源和雕刻來說都比蘿卜勝一籌，於是南瓜就成了萬聖節的寵物。

❹ 關於萬聖節資料(英語)

Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, primarily in Ireland, Scotland, Canada and the United States. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saints' Day, but is today largely a secular celebration.

Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, committing pranks, telling ghost stories or other frightening tales, and watching horror films.
History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)". The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end". A similar festival was held by the ancient Britons and is known as Calan Gaeaf 。

Snap-Apple Night by Daniel Maclise showing a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland, in 1832. The young children on the right bob for apples. A couple in the center play a variant, which involves retrieving an apple hanging from a string. The couples at left play divination games.The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half", and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year".

The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family's ancestors were honoured and invited home while harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks. Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit and thus avoid harm. In Scotland the spirits were impersonated by young men dressed in white with masked, veiled or blackened faces. Samhain was also a time to take stock of food supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. All other fires were doused and each home lit their hearth from the bonfire. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames.Sometimes two bonfires would be built side-by-side, and people and their livestock would walk between them as a cleansing ritual.

Another common practice was divination, which often involved the use of food and drink.

The name 'Halloween' and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.


Origin of name

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[10] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English , All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

❺ 萬聖節的相關資料（英文，包括翻譯）

萬聖節是西方的鬼節。

在西方國家，每年的10月31日，有個「Halloween」，辭典解釋為「The eve of All Saints'Day」，中文譯作：「萬聖節之夜」。萬聖節是西方國家的傳統節日。這一夜是一年中最「鬧鬼」的一夜，所以也叫「鬼節」。

兩千多年前，歐洲的天主教會把11月1日定為「天下聖徒之日」 (ALL HALLOWS DAY) 。「HALLOW」 即聖徒之意。傳說自公元前五百年，居住在愛爾蘭、蘇格蘭等地的凱爾特人 (CELTS) 把這節日往前移了一天，即10月31日。他們認為該日是夏天正式結束的日子，也就是新年伊始，嚴酷的冬季開始的一天。那時人們相信，故人的亡魂會在這一天回到故居地在活人身上找尋生靈，藉此再生，而且這是人在死後能獲得再生的唯一希望。而活著的人則懼怕死魂來奪生，於是人們就在這一天熄掉爐火、燭光，讓死魂無法找尋活人，又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人之魂靈嚇走。之後，他們又會把火種燭光重新燃起，開始新的一年的生活。傳說那時凱爾特人部落還有在10月31日把活人殺死用以祭奠死人的習俗。

到了公元1世紀，佔領了凱爾特部落領地的羅馬人也漸漸接受了萬聖節習俗，但從此廢止了燒活人祭死人的野蠻做法。羅馬人慶祝豐收的節日與凱爾特人儀式結合，戴著可怕的面具，打扮成動物或鬼怪，則是為了趕走在他們四周遊盪的妖魔。這也就是今天全球大部分人以古靈精怪的打扮，來慶祝萬聖節的由來。時間流逝，萬聖節的意義逐漸起了變化，變得積極快樂起來，喜慶的意味成了主流。死魂找替身返世的說法也漸漸被摒棄和忘卻。到了今天，象徵萬聖節的形象、圖畫如巫婆、黑貓等，大都有友善可愛和滑稽的臉。

"Halloween"一詞的產生

很多民族都在萬聖節前夜有慶典聚會，這又被叫做「All Hallow E'en」、「The Eve of All Hallows」、「Hallow e'en」，或者「The eve of All Saintas'Day」。最終約定俗成演變成了「Halloween」，中文意譯成了萬聖節之夜。

萬聖節（中，英文版）

關於萬聖節有這樣一個故事。是說有一個叫傑克的愛爾半蘭人，因為他對錢特別的吝嗇，就不允許他進入天堂，而被打入地獄。但是在那裡他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地獄，罰他提著燈籠永遠在人世里行走。 在十月三十一日愛爾蘭的孩子們用土豆和羅卜製作「傑克的燈籠」，他們把中間挖掉、表面上打洞並在里邊點上蠟燭。為村裡慶祝督伊德神的萬聖節，孩子們提著這種燈籠挨家挨戶乞計食物。?這種燈籠的愛爾蘭名字是「拿燈籠的傑克」或者「傑克的燈籠」，縮寫為Jack-o'-lantern ?在拼寫為jack-o-lantern。 現在你在大多數書里讀到的萬聖節只是孩子們開心的夜晚。在小學校里，萬聖節是每年十月份開始慶祝的。 孩子們會製作萬聖節的裝飾品：各種各樣桔紅色的南瓜燈。你可以用黑色的紙做一個可怕的造形??一個騎在掃帚把上戴著尖尖帽子的女巫飛過天空，或者是黑蝙蝠飛過月亮。這些都代表惡運。當然黑貓代表運氣更差。有時候會出現黑貓騎在女巫掃帚後面飛向天空的造形。 在萬聖節的晚上，我們都穿著爸爸媽媽的舊衣服和舊鞋子，戴上面具，打算外出。比我們小的孩子必須和他們的母親一塊出去，我們大一點的就一起鬨到領居家，按他們的門鈴並大聲喊道：「惡作劇還是招待！」意思是給我們吃的，要不我們就捉弄你。里邊的人們應該出?評價我們的化裝。 「噢！這是鬼，那是女巫，這是個老太婆。」 有時候他們會跟我們一起玩，假裝被鬼或者女巫嚇著了。但是他們通常會帶一些糖果或者蘋果放進我們的「惡作劇還是招待」的口袋裡。可是要是沒人回答門鈴或者是有人把我們趕開該怎麼辦呢？我們就捉弄他們，通常是拿一塊肥皂把他們的玻璃塗得亂七八糟。然後我們回家，數數誰的糖果最多。 還有一個典型的萬聖節花招是把一卷手紙拉開，不停地往樹上扔，直到樹全被白紙裹起?。除非下大雪或大雨把紙沖掉，紙會一直呆在樹上。這並不造成真正的傷害，只是把樹和院子搞亂，一種萬聖節的惡作劇。
HALLOWEEN One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy 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. Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, 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." 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. 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!" 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? 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. No real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. One kind of Halloween mischief.

1、萬聖節是什麼節日

萬聖夜是諸聖節(All Hallows Day)的前夜。意思是在紀念所有聖人(All Hallows)的那一天要舉行的彌撒(Mass)。萬聖節通常與靈異的事物聯系起來。

歐洲傳統上認為萬聖夜是鬼怪世界最接近人間的時間。美國明尼蘇達州的阿諾卡(Anoka)號稱是「世界萬聖節之都」，每年都舉行大型的巡遊慶祝。

2、萬聖節的由來故事

凱爾特人(Celtic)相信太陽神幫助他們種植農作物。但是，每年太陽神都會被一個名叫Samhain的邪惡力量攻擊並被囚禁六個月。

凱爾特人非常害怕10月31日的夜晚，怕有一堆邪惡靈魂潛伏在任何地方。他們在家生起火來讓那些邪惡靈魂離開他們的家。凱爾特人會裝著可怕的偽裝來把那群邪惡靈魂趕走。這就是萬聖節的原型。

A group of children dressed up as demons, carrying "Jack Lamp", ran to the neighbor's door and shouted, "Give money or give food."

萬聖節特色食物

萬聖節有幾樣吃的東西是必備的：南瓜派、蘋果、糖果，有的地方還會准備上等的牛羊肉。「不給糖果就搗亂」，萬聖節的糖果最經典的是橘色、棕色和黑色的包裝，造型以鬼怪居多，不過，這個傳統本來面目和糖果沒有關系。

萬聖夜的象徵物

萬聖夜的象徵物是南瓜燈（也叫傑克燈、傑克燈籠），另外還有南瓜雕空當燈籠的故事。這個故事又是源於古代愛爾蘭，故事是說一個名叫傑克（英文：JACK） 的人，是個醉漢且愛惡作劇。

一天傑克把惡魔騙上了樹，隨即在樹樁上刻了個十字，恐嚇惡魔令他不敢下來，然後傑克就與惡魔約法三章，讓惡魔答應施法讓傑克永遠不會犯罪為條件讓他下樹。 傑剋死後，其靈魂既不能上天又不能下地獄，他的亡靈只好靠一根小蠟燭指引他在天地之間倘佯。

在古老的愛爾蘭傳說里，這根小蠟燭是在一根挖空的蘿卜里放著，稱作「JACK LANTERNS」，而古老的蘿卜燈經演變則是南瓜做的 JACK-OLD-LATERN 了。據說愛爾蘭人到了美國不久，即發現南瓜不論從來源和雕刻來說都比蘿卜勝一籌，於是南瓜就成了萬聖節的寵物。

❾ 萬聖節英文資料

Halloween originated from Samhan's Day of the Celts in ancient BC. Sam Khan is a god of death, also known as the Prince of Darkness. The Celts believed that on October 31, he would gather the souls of the dead for a year and dedicate them to the Celtic God. The Sun God also regards that day as a festival and receives people's gratitude for the harvest he has brought to people for a year.
When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 B.C., the custom of the fruit tree festival commemorating Palmona, the goddess of fruit trees, was incorporated into the activities of celebrating the harvest.
The Celtic New Year falls on November 1, marking the beginning of winter and the beginning of death's rule. The Wizards of the Celts summoned magic to demonize. Now Halloween night appears ghosts, goblins, witches, skeletons, black cats, masks, bonfires and so on from this custom.
萬聖節起源於公元前古代克爾特人的山姆漢節。山姆汗是位死神，也稱黑暗王子。克爾特人都相信，10月31日那天，他要把一年中死亡者的靈魂都聚集在一起獻給克爾特人的上帝。太陽神也把那天視為節日，並接受人們對他的感激，感謝他給人們帶來了一年的豐收。
公元前55年，羅馬人入侵英國時，把紀念果樹女神帕莫娜的果樹節習俗溶入慶豐收的活動中。克爾特人的新年為11月1日，它標志著冬天的開始和死神統治的開始。克爾特人中的巫師召來魔力降妖。現在萬聖節前夜出現鬼怪、妖精、巫婆、骷髏、黑貓、面具、篝火等均出自自這一習俗。
