danced around the fires, the season of the sun passed and the season of darkness would begin.When the morning arrived the Druids would give an ember from their fires to each family who would then take them home to start new cooking fires.These fires would keep the homes warm and free from evil November 1st festival was called Samhain pronounced “sow-en”).The festival would last for 3 days.Many people would parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their animals.This festival would become the first Halloween.The Celtics would carry a lantern when they walked on the eve of October 31.These lanterns were carved out of big turnips(大头菜)and the lights were believed to keep the evil spirits away.Children would carve faces in the turnips.These carved turnips were called “jack-o-lanterns.It is said that the jack-o-lantern” got its name from a stingy and mean old man, named Jack, who when he died was too mean to get into heaven.When Jack went to hell he was meet by the Devil who gave him a piece of burning coal and sent him away.Jack placed the burning coal in a turnip to use as a lantern to light his way.The legends claim that Jack is still walking with the lantern looking for a place to the early settlers came to America they found the big round orange pumpkin.Being larger and much more colorful than turnips, the pumpkin made great “jack-o-lanterns”.Eventually the pumpkin would replace the turnip.Eventually the Pumpkin would become the most widely recognized symbol of the Halloween holiday.The history of “Trick'O'Treating” can be traced back to the early celebrations of All Soul's Day in Britain.The poor would go begging and the housewives would give them special treats called “soulcakes”.This was called “going a-souling”, and the “soulers” would promise to say a prayer for the time the custom changed and the town's children became the beggars.As they went from house to house they would be given apples, buns(圆形的小甜面包), and money.During the Pioneer days of the American West, the housewives would give the children candy to keep from being tricked.The children would shout “Trick or Treat!”.

万圣节又叫鬼节，在每年的10月31日，是西方传统的“鬼节”——万圣节。不过这一天的气氛却远不像它的名称那样让人听上去就“毛骨悚然”。每当万圣节到来，孩子们都会迫不及待地穿上五颜六色的化妆服，戴上千奇百怪的面具，提着一盏“杰克灯”走家窜户，向大人们索要节日的礼物。万圣节最广为人知的象征也正是这两样——奇异的“杰克灯”和“不请吃就捣乱”的恶作剧。

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的 10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。

然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o'-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

Another Edition(English One):Symbols of Halloween Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits.Witches flying on broomsticks with ghosts, goblins and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween.Bats, owls and other nocturnal animals are also popular symbols of Halloween.They were originally feared because people believed that these creatures could communicate with the spirits of the dead.Black cats are also symbols of Halloween and have religious origins as well.Black cats were considered to be reincarnated beings with the ability to divine the future.During the Middle Ages it was believed that witches could turn themselves into black cats.Thus when such a cat was seen, it was considered to be a witch in disguise.All these are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows.Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night.Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween.The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color.Carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland.A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser.He couldn't enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil.As a result, Jack had to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day.So Jack and his lantern became the symbol of a lost or damned soul.To scare these souls away on Halloween, the Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips, beets or potatoes representing “Jack of the Lantern,” or Jack-o-lantern.When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips.Today jack-o-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies waiting if they knock and say “Trick or Treat!” 参考译文： 万圣节前夜起源于与邪恶幽灵相关的庆祝活动，所以骑着扫帚的女巫、幽灵、小妖精和骷髅都是万圣节的标志物。蝙蝠、猫头鹰和其他夜间活动的动物也是万圣节的普遍标志。起初，这些动物让人觉得非常可怕，因为人们认为这些动物能和死者的幽灵进行交流。黑猫也是万圣节的标志物，并且也有一定的宗教起源。人们认为黑猫可以转生，具有预言未来的超能力。在中世纪，人们认为女巫可以变成黑猫，所以人们一看到黑猫就会认为它是女巫假扮的。这些标志物都是万圣节服装的普遍选择，也是贺卡或橱窗上很常用的装饰。黑色是传统的万圣节颜色，这可能是因为万圣节前夜的各种传统或仪式都是在晚上举行。南瓜也是万圣节的标志性象征。南瓜是橘黄色的，所以橘黄色也成了传统的万圣节颜色。用南瓜雕制南瓜灯也是一个万圣节传统，其历史也可追溯到爱尔兰。传说有一个名叫杰克的人非常吝啬，因而死后不能进入天堂，而且因为他取笑魔鬼也不能进入地狱，所以，他只能提着灯笼四处游荡，直到审判日那天。于是，杰克和南瓜灯便成了被诅咒的游魂的象征。人们为了在万圣节前夜吓走这些游魂，便用芜菁、甜菜或马铃薯雕刻成可怕的面孔来代表提着灯笼的杰克，这就是南瓜灯（Jack-o'-lantern）的由来。爱尔兰人迁到美国后，便开始用南瓜来进行雕刻，因为在美国秋天的时候南瓜比芜菁更充足。现在，如果在万圣节的晚上人们在窗户上挂上南瓜灯就表明那些穿着万圣节服装的人可以来.万圣节，是天主教、圣公宗和东正教都有的节日。在天主教会和圣公会中，万圣节在每年的11月1日。在正教会中，诸圣节是圣灵降临节(Pentecost)之后的第一个星期日，因而标志着复活节季度的结束。

万圣节(HALLOWEEN)为每年的10月31日。是11月1日诸圣节的前夕，通常叫做万圣节，这一夜是一年中最“闹鬼”的一夜，所以也叫“鬼节”。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，是西方传统节日。万圣节期间，许多公共场所乃至居家院落，都会布置上很多装璜，诸如各式鬼怪、南瓜灯、还有黑猫以及巫婆的扫帚之类;孩子们会穿上每年不一样的万圣节服装，拎着南瓜灯的提篓去挨家挨户地讨糖，说是“trick or treat”。

公元1世纪初，欧洲的天主教会把11月1日定为“天下圣徒之日”(ALL hallowS DAY)。“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。

在苏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)。另由于文化的差异，其他地区的人们会时常将万圣夜误称为万圣节。

不同于圣诞节和平安夜，万圣节与万圣夜并没有什么区别。人们往往就将西方的“万圣夜”认为是万圣节，因为当夜过了12点，就算是新的一天开始了。

万圣节来源

关于万圣节由来的，传说最多的版本认为，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11月1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。这也就是为什么人们现在的万圣节里，还留有巫婆的扫帚、黑猫、咒语等痕迹。[1]

万圣节发展

万圣节流传到今天已经完全没有了宗教迷信色彩，它成了一个孩子们的节目，也是年轻人化装舞会的节目。公共场合以及居家周围的节日布置都是自愿的。鬼脸南瓜灯、白网黑蜘蛛等，都是节日的装点，已没有骇人之鬼魅色彩。有的女学生还在这时候会买一对南瓜或者鬼骷髅的耳环来佩带。

学校在万圣节是不放假的。有时学校出面组织晚会，有时不甘寂寞的学生们也会自己主办小型晚会;而朋友、家人间互寄贺卡祝万圣节快乐则成为每年十月间流行的习俗。万圣节已成为西方人一个很普通的季节性节日。有很多人将此看作秋的结束以及冬的到来。万圣节一过，人们就开始期盼感恩节、圣诞节乃至新年。[1]

万圣节象征

通常与万圣节扯上关系的事物有鬼魂、食尸鬼、巫婆、蝙蝠、黑猫、猫头鹰、精灵、僵尸、骷髅和恶魔等，还有虚构人物如吸血僵尸和科学怪人。黑色和橙色是万圣节的传统颜色。现代万圣节的产品也大量使用紫色、绿色和红色。秋天的元素如南瓜和稻草人等，也成为万圣节的象征。

象征物

杰克灯是万圣节最广为人知的象征物。在英国和爱尔兰，当地人原本在挖空的芜菁中燃点蜡烛造成杰克灯，但移民到美国的人很快便采用南瓜代替，因为南瓜比较大和容易在上面雕刻图案。不少家庭在南瓜上刻上吓人的面容，并放在大门口的阶梯上，传统上此做法是想吓走恶魔或妖怪。

万圣节的传统食物是苹果汁、爆玉米花、南瓜馅饼和女巫状的香料生姜饼等。

每年的万圣节前夕，一定是秋天蔬菜成熟的时候，孩子们会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜，然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面，看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望，这憨态可掬的微笑搞怪的南瓜灯就叫做（iack-o’-lantems）“杰克的灯”，是庆祝万圣节的标志物！

说到这又不得不切入一个有关于南瓜灯的传说，有一个名叫杰克的人非常吝啬，因而死后不能进入天堂，而且因为他取笑魔鬼也不能进入地狱，所以，他只能提着灯笼四处游荡，直到审判日那天。人们为了在万圣节前夜吓走孤独可怕的游魂，便用芜菁、甜菜或马铃薯雕刻成恐怖吓人的面孔来代表提着灯笼的杰克，这就是看起来恐怖实际在今日非常可爱幽默的笑脸南瓜灯的由来。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物，然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门，每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。也许在多年前人们的印象会是，成千上万的儿童穿戴起来，逐户敲门要求款待，然而大多数现代人并不怕鬼，在万圣节，当小气的人看见有人拿着”家伙”经过，并朝小气的人的家里丢鸡蛋的时候，不免会有些提心吊胆。然而，随着社会的不断进步，文明对人们产生了深深的影响，这便在隐形之中形成了要求，如今的大人教育孩子们不做恐吓性的恶作剧，同时，大人会带孩子一起出门(一般是大人架车停在路边，小孩去敲门讨糖)。大人应该要求孩子只许去门口有节日布置的并点了灯的人家，否则不去打扰。另外讨糖过程的始终必须站在大门口等待，不许进屋，讨回的糖也要交大人检查后才许吃。对接待孩子的人家也要求不给自家制作的食品也不给未包装的食品。

而这一天世界每个角落的人，都可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵、巫师、魔鬼、南瓜、狼人、吸血鬼等等，为灯火繁华的紧张都市生活带给最新鲜最潮流年轻的快感！每个人心中都一个隐秘却充满渴望的自我，你梦想里的自己是什么模样的？尽情在今夜释放吧！

现代的万圣节，服装成为了最热门的话题，在万圣节当天可谓是万人万相，不是单调的大鬼小鬼了。然而，万圣节当天公司与学校是不放假的，但在世界上的个个地方都还是会有许许多多追逐自由、爱时尚爱热闹的朋友，早已经忍耐不住内心对这一天的憧憬，在这一天穿着形态各异的服饰上班，或是许多城市都会举行每年必不可少的万圣节游行，商店超市等等许多街道也是张灯结彩的售卖装点着奇形各异的有关于万圣节的物件装饰！

当今，万圣节已成为世界各各地地方认知性非常强的季节性节日，每个人心中关于庆祝万圣节的主题更是丰富多彩、思绪横飞，鬼怪、死亡、魔法、怪物，这些看似神奇飘渺的事物，对于现代人来说已经不在是什么难题，还有更多他们想要装扮的形象，食尸鬼、巫婆、蝙蝠、黑猫、猫头鹰、精灵、僵尸、骷髅和恶魔等等，还有许许多多电影故事之中虚构的饿人物如吸血僵尸和科学怪人等。

总之现在，万圣节的到来不单单在只是西方世界之中人们所期待的节日，在东方以及整个世界在这一天都会迎来摆脱束缚、放纵狂欢，真正实现自我的火爆狂潮！

篇二：万圣节相关英语词汇

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。

burning coal and sent him away.Jack placed the burning coal in a turnip to use as a lantern to light his way.The legends claim that Jack is still walking with the lantern looking for a place to stay.When the early settlers came to America they found the big round orange pumpkin.Being larger and much more colorful than turnips, the pumpkin made great ”jack-o-lanterns“.Eventually the pumpkin would replace the turnip.Eventually the Pumpkin would become the most widely recognized symbol(象征)of the Halloween holiday.The history of ”Trick'O'Treating“ can be traced back(追溯)to the early celebrations of All Soul's Day in Britain.The poor would go begging and the housewives would give them special treats called ”soulcakes“.This was called ”going a-souling“, and the ”soulers“ would promise to say a prayer for the dead.Over time the custom changed and the town's children became the beggars.As they went from house to house they would be given apples, buns(圆形的小甜面包), and money.During the Pioneer days of the American West, the housewives would give the children candy to keep from being tricked.The children would shout ”Trick or Treat!".以上就是小编为大家带来的全部内容，希望对大家备考 雅思 能够有所帮助。小马 雅思频道将会在第一时间为大家发布最新的雅思资讯，最全、最专业的 雅思备考 资料，还望大家读多多光临小马网雅思频道。
