万圣夜习俗
1. 刻南瓜灯 carve pumpkins
万圣夜的南瓜灯叫作Jack o’ Lantern,来自一个民间传说。一个名叫Jack的人戏弄了恶魔,所以死后无处可去,只能提着一盏灯在人间流浪。
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.
凯尔特人在萝卜、土豆、倭瓜等蔬菜上雕刻怪脸,以吓走鬼魂和其他灵魂。19世纪移民至美国的爱尔兰人发现在南瓜上更容易雕刻,于是就逐渐成了今天刻南瓜灯的传统了。
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
不给糖就捣蛋是现代万圣夜的风俗。孩子们穿着特殊的衣服走街串巷,讨取糖果或玩具。如果他们没有得到任何礼物,就可能会对屋主做恶作剧或捣蛋。
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
万圣夜最受欢迎的传统之一就是盛装打扮。人们经常打扮成怪物、超级英雄、名人或他们喜欢的电影和电视节目中的角色。受欢迎的万圣夜服装包括吸血鬼(吸血的生物)、幽灵(死者的灵魂)和狼人(每当月圆时就变成狼的人)。
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
许多人会举办以恐怖和怪物为主题的万圣夜派对。人们经常会用万圣夜主题的装饰物来装点他们的家和庭院,例如假蜘蛛、蜘蛛网、骷髅和万圣夜主题的灯光和标志。
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.
