帮我翻译一下这些文章,翻译成英文,谢谢
万圣之夜万圣节(HALLOWEEN)为每年的11月1日,源自古代凯尔特民族(Celtic)的新年节庆,此时也是祭祀亡魂的时刻,在避免恶灵干扰的同时,也以食物祭拜祖灵及善灵以祈平安渡过严冬,是西方传统节日。当晚小孩会穿上化妆服,戴上面具,挨家挨户收集糖果。主要流行于英语世界,如不列颠群岛和北美,其次是澳大利亚和新西兰。现在,一些亚洲国家的年轻一辈,也开始倾向于过“洋节”,到了万圣节前夕,一些大型外资超市都会摆出专柜卖万圣节的玩具,小商贩也会出售一些跟万圣节相关的玩偶或模型,吸引了年轻人的眼光。
词语来源 在公元800年,基督教会也创建了一个新的节日,这个节日叫做All Saint's Day,也有人把这一天叫做All Hallow's Day,而万圣节前夜(10月31日)有庆典聚会,万圣节前夜就叫做Hallow's Eve
万圣节
。最终慢慢的缩写跟演变成了“Halloween”,中文翻译成了万圣节之夜。它如果分开成两个单词,便是“Hallow”和“e'en”。
万圣节的服装起源于恶作剧,也要求大人带孩子一起出门(一般是大人驾车停在路边,小孩去敲门讨糖trick or treat)。大人应该要求孩子只许去门口有节日布置的并点了灯的人家,否则不许打扰。另外讨糖过程中必须始终站在大门口等待,不许进屋,讨回的糖也要交给大人检查后才许吃。对接待孩子的人家也要求不给自家制作的食品,也不给未包装的食品。
公共场合以及居家周围的节日布置都是自愿的。鬼脸南瓜灯、白网黑蜘蛛、白衣鬼等,
万圣节鬼怪
都是节日的装点,已全然没有骇人之鬼魅色彩。有的女学生还在这时候会买一对南瓜或者鬼骷髅的耳环来佩带。如果有哪家的布置做得过分恐怖了,会遭到有关方面的制止,媒体也会令其暴光,让公众指责。
万圣节的服装,也是万人万相,不是单调的大鬼小鬼了。有许多渠道教授人们如何制作万圣节服装。比如说制作最简单的鬼服就用一张白床单顶在头上,别忘了抠两个洞留出眼睛就是;若是要扮演魔术师,就穿上黑衣黑裤,再戴上黑礼帽,并在礼帽与头顶之间藏一只绒毛小兔备用;还教大人如何把孩子打扮成小天使,白衣白裤,再从背后怎么绑一个手电筒在头上;也有教如何把孩子打扮成他们喜欢的卡通形象的。当然服装、道具业的商人们,就更有文章可做了。[1-2]
学校在万圣节是不放假的。有时学校出面组织晚会,有时不甘寂寞的学生们也会自己主办小型晚会;而朋友、家人间互寄贺卡祝万圣节快乐则成为每年十月间流行的习俗。
总之,万圣节已成为西方人一个很普通的季节性节日。有很多人将此看作秋的结束以及冬的到来。万圣节一过,人们就开始期盼圣诞节乃至新年了。
节日活动 万圣节(Hallowmas)
“杰克灯”(南瓜灯)的样子十分可爱,做法也极为简单。将南瓜
掏空,然后在外面刻上笑眯眯的眼睛和大嘴巴,再在瓜中插上一支蜡烛,把它点燃,人们在很远的地方便能看到这张憨态可掬的笑脸。这可是孩子们最喜欢的玩物了。
然而万圣夜的重头戏还是在餐桌上,你既要准备好美食来招待那些前来捣乱的“小鬼”,更要在这个特别的节日为你的餐桌装扮一番。千万不要让你的客人们小瞧了你哦! 展开
