南瓜灯、骷髅头、巫师帽……你嗅到了万圣节的气息吗?
今年小伙伴们都打算怎么度过这个“鬼马”的节日呢？
很多人都会把"万圣节"翻译为“Halloween”，但其实它指的是万圣节前一天——“万圣夜”（10月31日晚上）!
万圣节是每年的11月1日，万圣节的英语表达是"All Saints' Day"或者"All Hallows' Day"！
🌰 举个例子
His birthday is on All Saints' Day.
他的生日在万圣节这一天。
万圣节文化可以追溯到德鲁伊教，这是一种爱尔兰、北欧和英国的凯尔特文化，根植于萨温节（古代凯尔特人的属阴节）的庆祝活动，萨温节于每年的10月31日纪念逝者。
Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.
More than 2,000 years ago, the Celtics thought that October 31st was the day when autumn officially ended. After that, the weather became more and more severe, and it was winter and the beginning of the New Year.
Halloween中的Hallow是“圣徒”的意思，他们相信，这一天晚上生与死之间的门会打开，故人的亡魂会在这一天回到故居的活人身上找寻圣灵。亡灵可以占据活人的身体以获得重生，而活着的人害怕亡灵来夺走自己的身体，于是把自己装扮成妖魔鬼怪吓走亡灵。
Hallow in Halloween means "saint". They believe that the gate between life and death will open on this night, and the spirits of the deceased will return to their former homes to seek the holy spirit in the living. The dead can occupy the body of the living to be reborn, while the living are afraid that the dead will take their own bodies, so they dress up as monsters to scare away the dead.
1. 刻南瓜灯 carve pumpkins
The tradition of the Jack o’ Lantern comes from a folktale about a man named Jack who tricked the devil and had to wander the Earth with a lantern.
The Celts carved faces into vegetables like turnips, potatoes and squash to scare the ghosts and other spirits and make them go away. Irish people who came to live in the United States in the 1800s found pumpkins much easier to carve, and the tradition became the one we see today.
2. 不给糖就捣蛋 trick or treat
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. If they don't get any treats, they might play a trick (mischief or prank) on the owners of the house.
3. 盛装打扮 dress in costume
One of the most popular traditions of Halloween is dressing in a costume. People often dress up as monsters, superheroes, celebrities, or characters from their favorite movies and TV shows. Popular Halloween costumes include vampires (creatures that drink blood), ghosts (spirits of the dead) and werewolves (people that turn into wolves when the moon is full).
4. 举办派对 hold parties
Many people throw Halloween parties with themes such as horror, monsters, or spooky decorations. People often decorate their homes and yards with Halloween-themed decorations, such as fake spiders, cobwebs, skeletons, and Halloween-themed lights and signs.
