万圣节的由来(中英文结合版)

文章中,即要有英文句子,也要有中文句子

While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween, some remain consistent by all accounts. Different cultures view Holloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same.
Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.
Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.
The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.
尽管关于万圣节的起源和旧俗有很多不同的看法,但有一些是被所有人接受的。不同文化看待万圣节总是有点不同,但是传统的万圣节做的事情都是一样的。
万圣节文化可以追溯到德鲁伊教,这是一种爱尔兰、北欧和英国的凯尔特文化,根植于Samhain节的庆祝活动,Samhain节于每年的10月31日纪念逝者。
Samhain节说明夏天结束或者十一月,是一个丰收的节日。在Samhain节会燃起神圣巨大的篝火,标志着凯尔特一年的结束和新一年的开始。一些做法因为迷信被加入庆祝活动中。
凯尔特人相信死者的灵魂会在夜里出没在街道和村庄。因为他们认为不是所有的灵魂都是友善的,所以就把礼物和好吃的留在外面安慰恶灵来确保来年的庄稼可以丰收。这种习俗演变成了trick-or-treating。

  是的,这就是国外风行已久的万圣节所营造的可怖气氛与惊悚情境,不过,你知道万圣节的由来吗?你知道为什么有这么多的人愿意把自己打扮成不可一世的恐怖经典造型,专门以吓人为乐吗?
  其实,西洋的万圣节雷同于我们中国的中元鬼节,在 10 月 31 日时,所有的鬼魂,巫婆,以及死去的鬼魂都会在万圣节的傍晚出来游荡。你一定还记得电影ET就是趁着万圣节的时候,以一袭床单造型轻易的躲过众人的耳目,而顺利逃脱的吧!
  万圣节的字义来自于"圣徒的晚上"或者是"视为神圣的夜晚" 。万圣节前夕就是万圣节宗教节日(11月1日)的前一天,也是基督教圣徒思念死去的朋友与家人的日子,大家集合起来作礼拜以及到墓前追思。
  我们把时光回到 2000 多年前,每年10月31日的前夕是塞尔特族人(目前的苏格兰人及爱尔兰人)的年度庆丰收祭典,象征着一年的结束与一年的开始,每年的此时是塞尔维族人表达对太阳神的敬意。因为太阳掌管食物与榖类丰收,好让塞尔特族可以应付寒冷的冬季!相对的这个夜晚也是恶灵力量最强大的时候,所以塞尔特族的巫师以及祭师就会举行祭典与盛宴,安抚掌管死亡之神。
  而古代苏格兰人与爱尔兰人因害怕万圣节的来临,害怕自己的身体被死去的鬼魂所占据,所以他们想要把鬼魂吓走最好的方式,就是将自己打扮成更恐怖的幽灵或吸血鬼,然后在南瓜上刻着可怕的鬼脸,好吓走那些死去的孤魂野鬼。于是,当时代越来越进步,鬼魂的传说越来越渺不可及的时候,万圣节反而成为一个相当好玩的庆典,大家可以想尽办法自娱娱人,将最恐怖最惊惧的打扮展现出来,达到玩乐的目的。
  当然,有一种更严肃的说法,就是万圣节一词 (Halloween),本来由二个字 Hallow-Eve 演变而成,每年11月1日,是罗马天主教将之定为诸圣或万圣节,用以纪念所有以死的圣徒,可是许多信奉邪教的人却在这圣日的前一天,放肆的到处作乱,破坏,所以有部分的教徒,甚至认为这是魔鬼的节日,而对 Treat Or Trick 的活动深恶痛绝哩!
  说到, Trick Or Treat就是"不招待我,我就会戏弄你",大家会扮演许多巫婆,鬼,骷髅的身影来四处吓人,或到邻居的家中要糖果,所以Treat Or Trick不给糖就捣蛋的活动也成为万圣节不可缺少的经典活动之一。
  Yes, this is the long-standing popularity abroad by creating the Halloween horror thriller atmosphere of the situation, however, you know that the origin of Halloween? You know why there are so many people willing to regard themselves as insufferably arrogant terrorist classical modeling, specifically for the Lok terrifying?
  In fact, similar to Halloween in Western China, Mesoproterozoic鬼节, October 31, all the ghosts, witches, and the ghost of dead will be out in the evening Halloween loitering. You must also remember that the film is taking advantage of Halloween ET when Dressed in linen modeling to easily escape anyone's eyes and ears, and a smooth escape!
  Halloween comes from the meaning of the word "saints night" or "regarded as sacred nights." Halloween Halloween is the eve of religious festival (November 1) the day before, but also Christian saints miss friends and family members who died days, we pull together to worship and to the grave memorial.
  We put time back to more than 2,000 years ago, every year on October 31 on the eve of the Celtic people (currently Scot and Irish) annual庆丰收ceremonies, as a symbol of the end of the year and the beginning of the year, at this time every year is塞尔维ethnic expression on Titan respects. Because the sun in charge of food and grains category harvest, so that the Celtic family can cope with the cold winter! The relative strength of the Resident Evil night is the most powerful, so Celtic family shaman ceremonies and祭师will be held with the Feast, in charge of death appease god.
  The ancient Scots and the Irish people for fear of the advent of Halloween, afraid of their own bodies were occupied by the ghost of dead, so they want to scare away the ghost of the best way is to be herself up as the specter of more terrorist or vampire, and then the words on the pumpkin terrible鬼脸, good scare away those dead to the孤魂野鬼. Therefore, when times more progress, more and more remote ghost legends and not when Halloween has become a very fun celebration, we can manage to find ways self-entertainment entertain people, most of the frightened and nervous terrorist, dressed shown to play purposes.
  Of course, there is a more serious argument is that the word Halloween (Halloween), originally from Hallow-Eve two characters have evolved over time, the annual November 1, is the Roman Catholic Church will be set at All Saints or Halloween to commemorate all the saints to death, but many people believe is the cult In this holy day before, instead of everywhere for chaos, destruction, it is part of the Catholics, and even think it is the devil's holiday, and on Treat Or Trick activities abhor!
  Speaking, Trick Or Treat is the "Not Welcome me, and I will fun of you", you will play many witches, ghosts, skeletons of the past four terrifying presence, or to the neighbor's home to candy, not so Treat Or Trick Trick or Treat activities have also become an indispensable classic Halloween activities one.本回答被提问者采纳
