節(jié)日慶典-萬圣節(jié)英文介紹

1、萬圣節(jié)英文介紹篇一：萬圣節(jié)相關(guān)英語詞匯 大家普遍認(rèn)為10月31日是萬圣節(jié)，實際上這并不是完全正確。更確切地說，10月31日的晚上稱作萬圣節(jié)前夜（The Eve of All Hallows）或是萬圣節(jié)之夜（The eve of All Saints Day），因為11月1日是天下圣徒之日（All Hallows Day），只不過為了方便，逐漸演變成了萬圣節(jié)（Halloween）。最近幾年，萬圣節(jié)在國內(nèi)變得流行起來，但是有些有關(guān)萬圣節(jié)的小知識，卻并沒有很多人知道。我們來看看萬圣節(jié)都有哪些不太為人所知的小知識吧。 Jack-o-lantern 南瓜燈 說到萬圣節(jié)，就免不了聯(lián)想到南瓜燈。南瓜燈的英文

2、名是Jack-o-lantern，讓人不禁好奇，這Jack-o-lantern里的Jack究竟是誰呢？為什么南瓜燈以他的名字命名呢？ 根據(jù)牛津英語詞典（Oxford English Dictionary）的記載，在17世紀(jì)，Jack-o-lantern的本意是“一個提著燈籠的男人；守夜人”，在這里，Jack這個名字可以指代任何人，就像jack of all trades（萬事通）里的Jack一樣。到了1673年，Jack-o-lantern這個詞又被賦予了新的含義，指代戶外出現(xiàn)的神秘亮光，也就是鬼火（will-o-the-wisp）。 每年萬圣節(jié)前夜制作燈籠的習(xí)俗起源于不列顛群島（the Br

3、itish Isles），不過當(dāng)時人們用的不是南瓜，而是大頭菜（turnip）。后來在北美洲，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)南瓜更容易掏空，就選擇了南瓜來做燈籠，漸漸地，Jack-o-lantern就用來指代南瓜燈了。 Trick-or-Treating 不給糖，就搗亂 對于孩子們來說，萬圣節(jié)最重要的的活動就是“trick or treat（不給糖就搗亂）”了，不過這個習(xí)俗也是后來才有的。雖然在20世紀(jì)早期，北美洲的年輕人就有在萬圣節(jié)之夜穿奇裝異服、雕刻南瓜燈的習(xí)俗，不過卻沒有挨家挨戶討糖果的說法。倒是在19世紀(jì)，蘇格蘭以及英格蘭某些地區(qū)的孩子們有著guising（穿化裝服并常帶面具登門拜訪）和souling（富人

4、要向禱告者分發(fā)食物）的習(xí)慣。牛津英語語料庫（Oxford English Corpus）中說道，trick or treat相當(dāng)于guising的現(xiàn)代版。 Mischief Night 惡作劇之夜 雖說孩子們嘴里喊著“不給糖就搗亂”，但他們并不會真的做出什么壞事，一般來說，他們的家長都會陪在他們身邊。相反，在北美洲，惡作劇會發(fā)生在萬圣節(jié)之前的10月30日的夜晚，青少年們會砸南瓜，扔雞蛋，用廁紙來裝飾樹木。 篇二：萬圣節(jié)介紹：英文版 智課網(wǎng)IELTS備考資料 萬圣節(jié)介紹：英文版 摘要： 萬圣節(jié)是西方國家的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，很受西方人的重視，為了讓大家更好的了解萬圣節(jié)，小編下面為大家?guī)砹擞⑽陌娴娜f圣節(jié)介

7、was made every year with a festival and marked the end of the “season of the sun” and the beginning of “the season of darkness and cold.” On October 31st after the crops were all harvested and stored for the long winter the cooking fires in the homes would be extinguished (消失).

9、ids would give an ember from their fires to each family who would then take them home to start new cooking fires. These fires would keep the homes warm and free from evil spirits.

11、rits away. Children would carve faces in the turnips. These carved turnips were called “jack-o-lanterns.

12、il who gave him a piece of burning coal and sent him away. Jack placed the burning coal in a turnip to use as a lantern to light his way. The legends claim that Jack is still walking with the lantern looking for a place to stay. When the early settlers came to America they found the big round orange

13、 pumpkin. Being larger and much more colorful than turnips, the pumpkin made great “jack-o-lanterns”. Eventually the pumpkin would replace the turnip. Eventually the Pumpkin would become the most widely recognized symbol(象征)of the Halloween holiday. The history of “TrickOTreating” can be traced back

14、 (追溯) to the early celebrations of All Souls Day in Britain. The poor would go begging and the housewives would give them special treats called “soulcakes”. This was called “going a-souling”, and the “soulers” would promise to say a prayer for the dead. Over time the custom changed and the towns chi

15、ldren became the beggars. As they went from house to house they would be given apples, buns (圓形的小甜面包), and money. During the Pioneer days of the American West, the housewives would give the children candy to keep from being tricked. The children would shout “Trick or Treat!”. 以上就是小編為大家?guī)淼娜績?nèi)容，希望對大家備
