November 1st of every year.This date marked the end of Summer and the beginning of Winter.This time of year was often associated with human death.凯尔特人选在每年11月1日庆祝新年，正值夏天结束，冬天刚开始的时节多半让人联想到黑暗的死亡。The Celts believed that on the night before the new year,the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred as the dead searched for the afterlife.Thus,on the night of October 31st,they celebrated Samhain,when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to Earth to cause mischief and trouble.凯尔特人相信在新年的前一晚，阴间和阳间的大门不再门禁森严，此时阴间的鬼魂会趁机跑出来，为阳间的人们带来厄运。所以，在十月三十一日晚上，凯尔特人会庆祝Samhain这个节日，以趋魔避邪。To commemorate the event,people built huge sacred bonfires where animals and crops were sacrificed to the Gods for protection,and to help scare ghosts away.The Celts also wore costumes to disguise themselves,in an attempt to confuse the spirits roaming the Earth.凯尔特人借着神圣的营火，燃烧献祭的动物和尸体，以赶走可怕的鬼魂并祈求神的保护。同时，凯尔特人也会假扮成鬼的样子，企图混淆跑到阳间的鬼魂。TheImpactofChristianity By the A.D.800s,the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands.Pope Boniface IV designated November 1stAll Saints Day,a time to honor Saints andMartyrs.It was known as All Hallowmas.Thus,October 31st became known asAll Hallows Eve,and eventually was shortened to the current day title,Halloween.公元八百年时，基督教传入塞尔特人居住的区域。当时的教宗明定十一月一日为万圣节All Saints Day，又称All Hallowmas，来纪念所有的圣人和骑士。因此，十月三十一日就成了万圣节前夕，英文称之All Hallows Eve，而后來人们便简称十月三十一日为Halloween。CelebrationsofHalloweenwPumpkinsarealsoasymbolofHalloween.AJack-o-lanternisahollowed-outpumpkinwithafacecarvedononeside.Candlesareusuallyplacedinside,givingthefaceaspooky（幽灵般的）glow.Itusedtoprotectpeopleintheirhomesfromthoseharmfulspiritsandguidethespiritsoftheirancestorstotheirhome.Jack-o-lanternJake-O-LanternwCarvedpumpkinsaretraditionallyknownas“Jack-o-lanterns.”Traditionally,thejack-o-lanternwascarvedfromaturnip,potato,orbeetandlitwithaburningcandle.Theselanternsrepresentedthesoulsofdepartedlovedonesandwereplacedinwindowsorsetonporchestowelcomethedeceased.TheyalsoservedasprotectionfromevilspiritsfreedfromthedeadonHalloweennight.wInNorthAmerica,turnips,potatoes,andbeetswerenotasreadilyavailable,sothepumpkinwasusedandfoundtobeasuitablereplacement.w

Jack did die,God would not take him into Heaven,and the Devil,who had promised not to claim Jacks soul,could not take him into Hell.Thus,the Devil sent Jacks spirit into the night with only a burning candle to light his way.Jack put the candle into a carved turnip and has been roaming the Earth ever since.The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as“Jack of the Lantern,”and then simply as“Jack-o-lantern.”到小气杰克死掉后，上帝不允许他进入天堂，而魔鬼曾答应过他不会让他下地狱，所以杰克死后哪都去不了。因此，魔鬼就让他的灵魂漂泊在黑夜里，只留给他一根燃烧的蜡烛来指引他从此以后，杰克就把蜡烛放在挖空刻好的萝卜里，并且一直留在人间吓人。爱尔兰人一开始称之为杰克的南瓜灯笼(Jack of the Lantern)，后来简称为杰克南瓜灯(Jack-o-lantern)。Symbols of Halloween Modern day Halloween celebrations use many symbols to help make the holiday more interestingSome of these include现代人用许多东西来庆祝万圣节，让这个节日变得更有趣。你知道是哪些东西吗？蝙蝠是其中一项，因为蝙蝠只住在坟墓，洞穴和废弃的教堂或建筑物中，又因为蝙蝠常令人联想到女巫或吸血鬼，因此他们被视为邪恶的象征。在传说中，女巫和吸血鬼可以化身成蝙蝠，又因为吸血蝙蝠是唯一一种饮血维生的哺乳类动物，因此蝙蝠常让人联想到死亡或邪恶的仪式。BATSBecausebatsonlyflyatnightandliveintombs,caves,andabandonedchurchesandbuildings,theyarebelievedtobeomensofevil.Theyarecommonlyassociatedwithwitchesandvampires.Itissuperstitionthatwitchesandvampirescantaketheformofabat.Sincethevampirebatistheonlymammalthatfeedsonblood,theyareoftenlinkedtodeathandoccultrituals.WITCHES女巫因为会算命又会下好咒语和坏咒语，人们相信女巫们的能力在10月31日这天会最强，所以让很多人很害怕她们。几世纪以来，女巫的形象改变许多，以前人们认为，女巫都是绿皮肤，长的很老，脸上布满皱纹。现在则很多人认为女巫的能力可以是邪恶或具有智慧的。Witcheswerethoughttobetellersoffortuneandtocastspells,bothgoodandbad.ThisfrightenedmanybecauseitwasbelievedthatthesepowerswerethestrongestonHalloweennight.Theimageofawitchhaschangedgreatlyoverthecenturies.Oncethoughttobeold,wrinkled,greenskinnedhags,manypeopleassociatewitchcrafttoeitherevilorasbeingwise.Broomsticks女巫和扫把形影不离已有几世纪之久，通常女巫会骑着扫把在夜晚飞行，而她们的同伴黑猫会坐在扫把的另一端陪着她们飞行会什么女巫会和扫把形影不离呢？因为在万圣节那天，通常会下着雨，而女巫们需要用扫把扫掉地上的大水坑，或地上的积水以便行走。Witchesandbroomsticksgohandinhand.Theyhavebeenassociatedforcenturies.Often,witchesaredepictedridingthemacrossthenightskywithablackcatononeend.ItisbelievedthatbecauseHalloweenoccurredduringtherainyseason,womenusedtheirbroomstickstovaultoverlargepuddlesandtosweepwateroutoftheirpathswhilewalking.Thus,thetwobecameassociated.OWLS

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 womans 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 mans 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
