关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人，因为他对钱特别的吝啬，就不允许他进入天堂，而被打入地狱。 So he wassent 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 forevercarrying a lantern。 但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地狱，罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。 Well，Irishchildren made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potatoor turnip， hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit bylittle candles inside。 在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”，他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。 And Irishchildren would carry them as they went from house to house beggingfor food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druidgod Muck Olla。 为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节，孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。 The Irishname for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of thelantern，" abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled"jack-o-lantern."The traditional Halloween you can read about inmost books was just children's fun night。 这种灯笼的爱尔兰英文名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”，缩写为Jack-o'-lantern。现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。 Halloweencelebrations would start in October in every elementaryschool。 在小学校里，万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。 |
