Halloween
Halloween
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31 in the USA， Canada， England， Ireland， Scotland， Mexico， Latin America， and Spain.
Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celtic peoples lived over 2，000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland， the United Kingdom， and Northern France. 在2000多年前的爱尔兰地区及法国北部，住着一群凯尔特人，而万圣节就是起源于古塞尔特人的一个叫做Samhain的节庆 。

Celebrations of Halloween
Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. A Jack-o’-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside， giving the face a spooky（幽灵般的） glow. It used to protect people in their homes from those harmful spirits and guide the spirits of their ancestors to their home.

Jake -O-Lantern
Carved pumpkins are traditionally known as “Jack-o-lanterns.” Traditionally， the jack-o-lantern was carved from a turnip， potato， or beet and lit with a burning candle. These lanterns represented the souls of departed loved ones and were placed in windows or set on porches to welcome the deceased. They also served as protection from evil spirits freed from the dead on Halloween night.
In North America， turnips， potatoes， and beets were not as readily available， so the pumpkin was used and found to be a suitable replacement.
众人皆知的杰克番瓜灯是刻在番瓜上，但人们一开始是在萝卜，马铃薯或甜菜上刻灯笼，然后挖空并点燃蜡烛在里面，形成灯笼。这些灯笼代表着过世的亲友，并被放置在窗边或门廊上，以欢迎他们回来。他们也被视为可趋魔避邪的象征。在北美洲，萝卜，马铃薯和甜菜很罕见，因此常见的番瓜就成了非常适合的代替品。

Masquerade Parties (化妆舞会)
Dressing in masks and costumes is a popular Halloween activity. Costumes can be traditional and scary， such as a witch’s pointy hat and black gown. Costumes may also have a modern flavor. Many children dress up as movie characters or a favorite superhero.

Once in costume， children go from house to house saying “Trick or treat!” In the past， children might play a “trick” on people who did not give treats. They might pelt (扔，掷)houses with eggs or old tomatoes， or play other pranks(恶作剧). Today， children’s cries of “Trick or treat!” are usually rewarded with candy. （不请客就捣乱不给糖吃就捣乱）

Scary Stories
No Halloween party is complete without at least one scary story. Usually one person talks in a low voice while everyone else crowds together on the floor or around a fire. The following is a retelling of a tale told in Britain and in North Carolina and Virginia.
Halloween
What Do You Come For?" There was an old woman who lived all by herself， and she was very lonely. Sitting in the kitchen one night， she said， "Oh， I wish I had some company." No sooner had she spoken than down the chimney tumbled two feet from which the flesh had rotted. The old woman's eyes bulged with terror. Then two legs dropped to the hearth and attached themselves to the feet. Then a body tumbled down， then two arms， and a man's head. As the old woman watched， the parts came together into a great， tall man. The man danced around and around the room. Faster and faster he went. Then he stopped， and he looked into her eyes. "What do you come for? She asked in a small voice that shivered and shook. "What do I come for?" he said. "I come for YOU!" The narrator shouts and jumps at the person near him!
