HALLOWEEN

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means “holy evening” ( 神圣的夜晚 ) , and it comes every October 31 , the evening before All Saints Day ( 万圣节 ).

INTRODUCE

For the ancient ( 古代的 ) celtic ( 塞尔特 ) peoples , the new year was celebrated on november 1st of every year. This date marked the end of summer and beginning of winter.

This day of year was often associated with human death.

The ctsel believed that on the night before the new year ,the boundary ( 边界 ) between the worlds of the living and dead became blurred ( 模糊 ) as the dead searched for the afterlife ( 来世 ).

COSTUMESCOSTUMES COSTUMESCOSTUMES

Trick-or-treating is for children on or around Halloween in which they proceed form house to house in costumes , asking for treats such as ( 糖果 ) confectionery with the question , ” trick or treat?” the “trick” part of “trick or treat” is an idle threat to play a trick on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given.

Jack-o’-lanternsMany years ago, there was a human named Jake who lived in Ireland. He liked to play pranks [ 恶作剧 ]. One day, he deceived [ 欺骗 ] the devil. Jack asked the devil to climb a tree and carve an image of a cross[ 十字架 ] in the tree’s trunk; trapping the devil up the tree. Eventually he made a deal with the devil and released him.

Eventually, when jack did die ,god would not take him into heaven, and the devil, who had promised not to claim jack’s soul , could not take him into hell. Thus, the devil sent jack’s soul into the night with only a burning candle to light his way. Jack put the candle into a carved out turnip and has been roaming( 漫游 ) 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”.

FoodsBecause the holiday comes in the wake of the annual apple harvest, candy apples(also known as toffee or taffy apples) are a common halloween treat made by rolling whole apples in a stricky sugar syrup ,and sometimes rolling them in nuts.Candy apples were commonly given to children.
