One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into Heaven because he wasstingy with his money.
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 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.
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,Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little 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 Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god 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 Irish name for these lanterns was Jack with the lantern or Jack of the lantern, abbreviated as Jack-o-lantern and now spelled jack-o-lantern.The traditionalHalloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night.
这种灯笼的爱尔兰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。
Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.
在小学校里,万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。
