　　【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!"

　　萬(wàn)圣節前夜起源于與邪惡幽靈相關(guān)的慶�；顒�(dòng)，所以騎著(zhù)掃帚的女巫、幽靈、小妖精和骷髏都是萬(wàn)圣節的標志物。蝙蝠、貓頭鷹和其他夜間活動(dòng)的動(dòng)物也是萬(wàn)圣節的普遍標志。起初，這些動(dòng)物讓人覺(jué)得非�？膳�，因為人們認為這些動(dòng)物能和死者的幽靈進(jìn)行交流。

　　黑貓也是萬(wàn)圣節的標志物，并且也有一定的宗教起源。人們認為黑貓可以轉生，具有預言未來(lái)的超能力。在中世紀，人們認為女巫可以變成黑貓，所以人們一看到黑貓就會(huì )認為它是女巫假扮的。這些標志物都是萬(wàn)圣節服裝的普遍選擇，也是賀卡或櫥窗上很常用的裝飾。

　　黑色是傳統的萬(wàn)圣節顏色，這可能是因為萬(wàn)圣節前夜的各種傳統或儀式都是在晚上舉行。

　　南瓜也是萬(wàn)圣節的標志性象征。南瓜是橘黃色的，所以橘黃色也成了傳統的萬(wàn)圣節顏色。用南瓜雕制南瓜燈也是一個(gè)萬(wàn)圣節傳統，其歷史也可追溯到愛(ài)爾蘭。傳說(shuō)有一個(gè)名叫杰克的人非常吝嗇，因而死后不能進(jìn)入天堂，而且因為他取笑魔鬼也不能進(jìn)入地獄，所以，他只能提著(zhù)燈籠四處游蕩，直到審判日那天。

　　于是，杰克和南瓜燈便成了被詛咒的游魂的象征。人們?yōu)榱嗽谌f(wàn)圣節前夜嚇走這些游魂，便用蕪菁、甜菜或馬鈴薯雕刻成可怕的面孔來(lái)代表提著(zhù)燈籠的杰克，這就是南瓜燈(Jack-o'-lantern)的由來(lái)。愛(ài)爾蘭人遷到美國后，便開(kāi)始用南瓜來(lái)進(jìn)行雕刻，因為在美國秋天的時(shí)候南瓜比蕪菁更充足�，F在，如果在萬(wàn)圣節的晚上人們在窗戶(hù)上掛上南瓜燈就表明那些穿著(zhù)萬(wàn)圣節服裝的人可以來(lái)敲門(mén)搗鬼要糖果。

　　【Story about Halloween萬(wàn)圣節的故事】

　　One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

　　The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

　　Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. And from black paper you'd cut "scary" designs ---an evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across the moon, and that meant bad luck. And of course black cats for more bad luck. Sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom.

　　We would go together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, "Trick or treat!" meaning, "Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!" The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes.

　　Oh! here's a ghost. Oh, there's a witch. Oh, here's an old lady.

　　Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch. But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our "trick or treat bags." But what if no one come to the door, or if someone chased us away? Then we'd play a trick on them, usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows. .And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy.

　　One popular teen-agers' Halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper. The paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off. No real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. One kind of Halloween mischief.

　　關(guān)于萬(wàn)圣節有這樣一個(gè)故事。是說(shuō)有一個(gè)叫杰克的愛(ài)爾蘭人，因為他對錢(qián)特別吝嗇，就不允許他進(jìn)入天堂，而被打入地獄。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地獄，罰他提著(zhù)燈籠永遠在人世里行走。

　　現在你在大多數書(shū)里讀到的萬(wàn)圣節只是孩子們開(kāi)心的夜晚。在小學(xué)校里，萬(wàn)圣節是每年十月份開(kāi)始慶祝的。

　　孩子們會(huì )制作萬(wàn)圣節的裝飾品：各種各樣桔黃色的南瓜燈。你可以用黑色的紙做一個(gè)可怕的造形——一個(gè)騎在掃帚把上戴著(zhù)尖尖帽子的女巫飛過(guò)天空，或者是黑蝙蝠飛過(guò)月亮。這些都代表惡運。當然黑貓代表運氣更差。有時(shí)候會(huì )出現黑貓騎在女巫掃帚后面飛向天空的造形。

　　在萬(wàn)圣節的晚上，我們都穿著(zhù)爸爸媽媽的舊衣服和舊鞋子，戴上面具，打算外出。比我們小的孩子必須和他們的母親一塊出去，我們大一點(diǎn)的就一起哄到鄰居家，按他們的門(mén)鈴并大聲喊道：“惡作劇還是招待!”意思是給我們吃的，要不我們就捉弄你。里邊的人們應該出來(lái)評價(jià)我們的化裝。

　　“噢!這是鬼，那是女巫，這是個(gè)老太婆。”

　　有時(shí)候他們會(huì )跟我們一起玩，假裝被鬼或者女巫嚇著(zhù)了。但是他們通常會(huì )帶一些糖果或者蘋(píng)果放進(jìn)我們的“惡作劇還是招待”的口袋里�？墒且�是沒(méi)人回答門(mén)鈴或者是有人把我們趕開(kāi)該怎么辦呢?我們就捉弄他們，通常是拿一塊肥皂把他們的玻璃涂得亂七八糟。然后我們回家，數數誰(shuí)的糖果最多。

　　還有一個(gè)典型的萬(wàn)圣節花招是把一卷手紙拉開(kāi)，不停地往樹(shù)上扔，直到樹(shù)全被白紙裹起來(lái)。除非下大雪或大雨把紙沖掉，紙會(huì )一直呆在樹(shù)上。這并不造成真正的傷害，只是把樹(shù)和院子搞亂，一種萬(wàn)圣節的惡作劇。
