關于萬圣節的英語?..那么,關于萬圣節的英語?一起來了解一下吧。
The Celtic people, who lived more than 2000 years ago feared the evening of Oct. 31 more than any other day of the year. It was the eve of their festival of Samhain. Samhain was a joyful harvest festival that marked the death of the old year and the beginning of a new one. The day itself was a time for paying homage to the sun god Baal who had provided the people with the ripened grain for use in the upcoming winter. Come evening evil spirits were everywhere. Charms and spells were said to have more power on the eve of Samhain. Several rituals were performed by the Celtic priests, Druids, to appease the Lord of the Dead
萬圣夜(halloween)(又叫鬼節,萬圣節前夜)在每年的10月31日,是英語世界的傳統節日,主要流行于北美、不列顛群島、澳大利亞、加拿大和新西蘭。許多公共場所乃至居家院落,都會布置上很多裝璜,諸如各式鬼怪 呀、南瓜燈呀、還有黑貓以及巫婆的掃帚之類;孩子們會穿上每年不一 樣的萬圣節服裝,拎著南瓜燈的提簍去挨家挨戶地討糖,說是“不給糖就搗蛋(trick or treak)” 萬圣夜在10月31日的前一夜,其實是贊美秋天的節日,就好像五朔節是贊美春天的節日一樣。古代高盧、不列顛和愛爾蘭的祭司--德魯伊德有一個贊美秋天的盛大節日,從萬圣夜后午夜開始,直至次日11月1日持續整整一天。他們認為,在那天晚上他們偉大的死神--薩曼會把那年死去人的鬼魂統統召來,這些惡鬼要受到托生為畜類的懲罰。當然,只要想到這種鬼魅的聚會,就足以令當時那些頭腦簡單的愚民膽戰心諒的了。于是他們點起沖天的篝火,并嚴密監視這些惡鬼。如今在整個歐洲,人們都把萬圣夜看作盡情玩鬧、講鬼故事和互相嚇唬的好機會。于是人們不再把這節日僅僅用來贊美秋光,而是讓它變成一場真正的“狂歡”。而臉譜化妝是萬圣節傳統節目之一。

Next to Christmas, Halloween is the most commercialized celebration in the United States and Canada. This ancient festival originated far from North America however, and centuries before the first European set foot on the continent.
The ancient Druids 督伊德教(古代高盧人與不列顛人的一種宗教)的教徒 who inhabited what we now call Great Britain placed great importance on the passing of one season to the next, holding "Fire Festivals" which were celebrated for three days (two days on either side of the day itself).
One of these festivals was called Samhain (pronounced Sha-Von) and it took place on October 31 through to November 1. During this period, it was believed that the boundaries between our world and the world of the dead were weakened, allowing spirits of the recently dead to cross over and possess the living.
In order to make themselves and their homes less inviting to these wayward spirits, the ancient Celts(凱爾特人)would douse (插入水中, 把弄熄, 弄濕)all their fires. There was also a secondary purpose to this, after extinguishing all their fires, they would re-light them from a common source, the Druidic fire that was kept burning at Usinach, in the Middle of Ireland.
