万圣夜英文称之“Halloween”，为“AllHallowEve”的缩写，是指万圣节(AllHallowsDay)的前夜，类似于圣诞夜被称为“ChristmasEve”。“Hallow”来源于中古英语halwen，与holy词源很接*，在苏格兰和加拿大的某些区域，万圣节仍然被称为“AllHallowMas”，意思是在纪念所有的圣人(Hallow)那一天，要举行的弥撒仪式(Mass)。
万圣夜通常与灵异的事物联系起来。欧洲传统上认为万圣节是鬼魂世界最接*人间的时间，这传说与*的盂兰节类似。美国明尼苏达州的Anoka号称是“世界万圣节之都”，每年都举行大型的巡游庆祝。

halloweens origins date back to the ancient celtic festival of samhain (pronounced sow-in).
the celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now ireland, the united kingdom, and northern france, celebrated their new year on november 1. this day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. on the night of october 31, they celebrated samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. in addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the druids, or celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. for a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.
to commemorate the event, druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the celtic deities.
during the celebration, the celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each others fortunes. when the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.
by a.d. 43, romans had conquered the majority of celtic territory. in the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the celtic lands, two festivals of roman origin were combined with the traditional celtic celebration of samhain.
the first was feralia, a day in late october when the romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. the second was a day to honor pomona, the roman goddess of fruit and trees. the symbol of pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into samhain probably explains the tradition of "bobbing" for apples that is practiced today on halloween.
by the 800s, the influence of christianity had spread into celtic lands. in the seventh century, pope boniface iv designated november 1 all saints day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. it is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. the celebration was also called all-hallows or all-hallowmas (from middle english alholowmesse meaning all saints day) and the night before it, the night of samhain, began to be called all-hallows eve and, eventually, halloween. even later, in a.d. 1000, the church would make november 2 all souls day, a day to honor the dead. it was celebrated similarly to samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. together, the three celebrations, the eve of all saints, all saints, and all souls, were called hallowmas.
万圣节是诸圣节(AllSaints’Day)的俗称，本是天主教等基督宗教的宗教节日，时间是11月1日。天主教把诸圣节定为弥撒日，每到这一天，除非有不可抗拒的理由，否则所有信徒都要到教堂参加弥撒，缅怀已逝并升入天国的所有圣人，特别是那些天主教历史上的着名圣人。紧随诸圣节之后的是11月2日的诸灵(AllSouls’Day)，这一天缅怀的则是已逝但还未升入天国的灵魂，信徒们会祈祷他们早日升天。
万圣节前夕，在每年的10月31日，是西方的传统节日。许多亚洲地区的人将万圣节前夕误称为万圣节。
万圣节前夜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*安渡过严冬。前一天晚上(也就是万圣节前夜)，小孩们会穿上化妆服，戴上面具，挨家挨户收集糖果。
Halloween is the common name of AllSaints Day, which is a religious festival of the Catholic church and other Christian religions. The time is November 1st. Samhain festival as Catholic mass, on this day, unless there is irresistible reasons, otherwise all believers into the church to attend mass, honor is gone and all the saints float into the kingdom of heaven, especially those famous in the history of the Catholic saints. After all saints Day is the AllSouls Day on November 2, the Day of the dead but not yet ascended into the spirit of heaven, and believers will pray for their early ascension.
On the eve of Halloween, on the 31st of October, it is a traditional western holiday. Many people in the region mistake Halloween for Halloween.
Halloween originated in ancient Celtic national (Celtic) New Year festival, this is also a sacrifice revenant moment, in avoiding the evil spirit interference at the same time, also with food worship of ancestors and good spirit to pray for peace through the cold winter. The night before (which is Halloween), children would dress up in costumes, wear masks and go from house to house collecting candy.
One story about jack, an irishman, who was not allowed into heaven because he was stingy with his money. 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.
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.
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.
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 traditional halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night. halloween celebrations would start in october in every elementary school.
Halloween is a western festival. it’s on oct.31th. it’s a happy time for children because at night they put on the masks to attend the party.

UP国际少儿英语的老师给我们上了一堂生动有趣的英语课。教室里，“黑蜘蛛”爬在墙上，各种南瓜灯和“妖魔鬼怪”的可怕面具一列排开。老师把灯光熄掉，给我们看了有关万圣节来历的影片，我们学会了好多英语单词。
两个万圣节的传统游戏更是让我们感受到了这个西方节日的趣味。Trick or Treat“不给糖吃就捣乱”：我们两人一组去敲“主人”家的.门，嘴里说着“Trick or Treat”，“主人”热情地边说“You are welcome”边从南瓜帽中掏出几颗糖果给我们吃。
另一个叫作Apple bobbing“咬苹果”，游戏的规则是要咬到苹果但不能用手帮忙。工作人员用筷子插在苹果中间，再悬挂在绳子上。同学们五个一组，分别站着去咬苹果，一个个伸直脖子涨红了脸。我也跃跃欲试，终于轮到我啦，随着老师的口令“one、two、three，go！”我使劲向挂在面前的苹果咬去，嘴巴刚碰到苹果，苹果就滑开了。我不服气地继续去咬，可苹果却不停地溜走，我无奈地挠挠脸，还没想到办法游戏就结束了。

万圣节在10月31日，其实是赞美秋天的节日，就好像五朔节是赞美春天的节日一样。古代高卢、不列颠和爱尔兰的祭司--德鲁伊德有一个赞美秋天的.盛大节日，从10月31日午夜开始，次日11月1日持续整整一天。他们认为，在那天晚上他们伟大的死神--萨曼把那年死去人的鬼魂统统召来，这些恶鬼要受到托生为畜类的惩罚。当然，只要想到这种鬼魅的聚会，就足以令当时那些头脑简单的愚民胆战心谅的了。于是他们点起冲天的篝火，并严密监视这些恶鬼。
Halloween witches and ghosts everywhere to say is just the beginning。 So far in Europe， there are some isolated areas where people believe it is true。 Ancient Rome in November 1 there is also a holiday， which is used to pay tribute to their goddess of Bo Mona。 They bear ribs roasted nuts and apples before the bonfire。 Our own Halloween seems to be a holiday by the Romans and the druid's holiday blend made of。 Halloween activities in the original is very simple， and mostly in the church carried out。 However， in the whole of Europe， it is regarded as a Halloween enjoy slapstick， Jiangguigushi and a good opportunity to scare each other。 So people will no longer be used to praise this Autumn Festival， but it becomes supernatural， witches and ghosts festival。

Days and days past, I’m not a child any longer. But I still remember that Halloween, 31st October XX. That was Saturday. I went to study English with an American girl named Debby as usual.
We had 5 students altogether. Before that week, Debby had already told us to learn something about Halloween ourselves. On that day, Debby spent an hour describing this American festival for us, such as “trick or cheat”, pumpkin and even, she took a pumpkin with her. First she took out a finished pumpkin lantern.
That was really beautiful and ugly, we liked it so much. Then she taught us how to make a pumpkin lantern by ourselves. We each held a small knife, learnt to cut and draw something on that pumpkin. Finally, we made it and put a short candle into it. That was truly happy. And the most surprising thing was that the lantern was a present for that day’s super student. Who will that be? My god! That was me!
Do you know how excited I was then? I held it, jumping and shouting. That was the most unforgettable day to me. And I will not forget it, never!
凯尔特人(Celtic) 相信太阳神帮助他们种植农作物。但是，每年太阳神都会被一个名叫Samhain的邪恶力量攻击并被囚禁六个月。Samhain，还有两个称号，分别是"Lord of Dead(死亡领主)"以及"Prince of Darkness(暗黑王子)"，他带着寒冷以及黑暗的冬天来到凯尔特人的土地。
凯尔特人非常害怕10月31日的夜晚，因为他们觉得这晚，有一堆邪恶灵魂潜伏在任何地方。他们在家生起火来让那些邪恶灵魂离开他们的家(上一个没有翻译的段落有一句是说火焰可以把鬼魂吓走的。)他们相信是Samhain把死人叫出来的，他们还相信Samhain会把死人变为其他东西，好像猫。凯尔特人会装着可怕的伪装来把那群邪恶灵魂赶走。(这就是万圣节的原型)
后罗马占领了凯尔特人的土地，把罗马的节日和凯尔特人10月31日的Samhain祭典合在一起，就成了现在的万圣节。
Celtic believed that the sun god helped them grow crops. But each year the sun god is attacked by an evil force called Samhain and spent six months in captivity. Samhain, and two other titles, "Lord of Dead" and "Prince of Darkness", came to Celtic land with cold and dark winters.
The celts are very afraid of the night of October 31, because they feel like theres a bunch of evil souls lurking everywhere. They set fire to their home to let evil spirits leave their homes. (the last untranslated paragraph was that the flames could frighten the ghost away.) They believed Samhain had called the dead, and they believed that Samhain would turn the dead into something else, like a cat. The celts will be disguising their evil spirits with terrible disguises. (this is the prototype for Halloween.)
Then Rome took over the Celtic lands and put the Roman holiday together with the Celtic Samhain festival on October 31, and it was now Halloween.

Halloween
Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints‘ Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly. Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o‘-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern". The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags. Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young. 万圣节前夕 万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。 不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

I Still Remember That Halloween.
Days and days past, I'm not a child any longer. But I still remember that Halloween, 31st October 2001. That was Saturday. I went to study English with an American girl named Debby as usual. We had 5 students altogether. Before that week, Debby had already told us to learn something about Halloween ourselves.
Children in costumes race from house to house asking for treats。 A carved pumpkin，called a jack-o'-lantern，grins from a porch as the children pass。 According to legend，jack-o'-lanterns protect people in their homes from ghostly spirits。
It's all part of the fun on Halloween! The roots of Halloween stretch back thousands of years and borrow customs from several parts of the world。
Halloween is a spooky and scary night.People dress up in the Hallween.Some people buy pumpkin and carve it into a jack-o-lantern.A jack-o-lantern is a pumpkin with a face.This is how you make a jack-o-lantern:you buy a pumpkin,take it home,carve the pumpkin and give it a spooky,happy,scary face.

A spooky,scary,and white ghost can go through walls and could control people.You might see one in the grave yard.Be careful because it will frighten you.You might bee one of them!

Halloween first came to America with early settlers from Celtic areas in Europe,such as Ireland and Scotland.But other American settlers with strict religious beliefs,including the Puritans from England,rejected Halloween.The arrival of many Irish immigrants during the 1800s helped spread Halloween's popularity.
But by the late 1800s,fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.
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.liuxue.86
But Halloween is not just for children.Many *s enjoy showing off their costumes at Halloween parties!
When we think of Halloween, we think of "Trick or treat", pumpkins, Jack o lanterns, vampires and haunted houses. But do you know the origin of Halloween? Why does it fall on 31 October? What kind of festival is it? Why is it so creepy?
Halloween dates back to a Celtic festival called Samhain. November 1 is the new year of the Celts, who lived in Europe more than a thousand years ago. This is the day which marked the end of summer and harvest. The Celts believed that on the night of October 31, ghosts of the dead would return to earth. The Celts celebrated Samhain by dressing up in costumes with animal heads and having bonfires. Many Celts settled in Britain and Ireland, where the festival became popular. Those who moved to America took the tradition with them.
Nowadays, most people celebrate Halloween but only for fun. They are not worried about ghosts. Kids in America will dress up as devils or angels and will go from house to house calling "Trick or treat", playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets. Americans spend more money on Halloween than Christmas! In 20xx, more than HK$45 billion was spent on Halloween. And HK$15 billion of that was spent on candy alone!!!
Kids in Britain also dress up at Halloween. They visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get sweets. Many go to Halloween parties and play games like "ducking for apples". You must pick up an apple in water but you can only use your mouth. Try it!
Days and days past, i’m not a child any longer. but i still remember that halloween, 31st october xx. that was saturday. i went to study english with an american girl named debby as usual.
We had 5 students altogether. before that week, debby had already told us to learn something about halloween ourselves. on that day, debby spent an hour describing this american festival for us, such as “trick or cheat”, pumpkin and even, she took a pumpkin with her. first she took out a finished pumpkin lantern.
That was really beautiful and ugly, we liked it so much. then she taught us how to make a pumpkin lantern by ourselves. we each held a small knife, learnt to cut and draw something on that pumpkin. finally, we made it and put a short candle into it. that was truly happy. and the most surprising thing was that the lantern was a present for that day’s super student. who will that be? my god! that was me!
Do you know how excited i was then? i held it, jumping and shouting. that was the most unforgettable day to me. and i will not forget it, never!
reation directors help plan the party, but the young people themselves take charge of the entertainment and the decorations — a necessary part of halloween. dried corn stalks, pumpkin faces, and piles of apples create the harvest atmosphere; and cutouts of witches on their brooms, goblins, ghosts and black cats symbolize the witchcraft aspect of the holiday. the freshments — apple cider, popcorn and pumpkin pie, and witches made of spicy ginger cookies — also carry out both themes.
there is an occasional * halloween dance in a bright orange and black setting, with paper-made black cats, witches and grinning skeletons floating above the dance floor. but halloween has become mainly a young people‘s holiday — and the younger the child the more exciting he finds it.

While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween， some remain consistentby all accounts。 Different cultures view Halloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same。
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。
Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids， a Celtic culture in Ireland， Britain and Northern Europe。 Roots lay in the feastof Samhain， which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead。
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 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。
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。
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 pacifythe evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful。 This custom evolved into trick-or-treating。
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*俗演变成了trick-or-treating。

万圣节前夜就是"圣夜"的意思。然而，由于种种原因，万圣节前夜已变成一年中最流行和最受欢迎的节日之一，许多玩家都以极大的热情来庆祝这一节日。

万圣节在10月31日，其实是赞美秋天的节日，就好像五朔节是赞美春天的节日一样。古代高卢、不列颠和爱尔兰的祭司--德鲁伊德有一个赞美秋天的盛大节日，从10月31日午夜开始，次日11月1日持续整整一天。他们认为，在那天晚上他们伟大的'死神--萨曼把那年死去人的鬼魂统统召来，这些恶鬼要受到托生为畜类的惩罚。当然，只要想到这种鬼魅的聚会，就足以令当时那些头脑简单的愚民胆战心谅的了。于是他们点起冲天的篝火，并严密监视这些恶鬼。
Halloween witches and ghosts everywhere to say is just the beginning。 So far in Europe， there are some isolated areas where people believe it is true。 Ancient Rome in November 1 there is also a holiday， which is used to pay tribute to their goddess of Bo Mona。 They bear ribs roasted nuts and apples before the bonfire。 Our own Halloween seems to be a holiday by the Romans and the druid's holiday blend made of。 Halloween activities in the original is very simple， and mostly in the church carried out。 However， in the whole of Europe， it is regarded as a Halloween enjoy slapstick， Jiangguigushi and a good opportunity to scare each other。 So people will no longer be used to praise this Autumn Festival， but it becomes supernatural， witches and ghosts festival。
万圣节前夜到处有女巫和鬼魂的说法就是这么开始的。至今在欧洲某些与世隔绝的地区还有人相信这是真的。古罗马人在11月1日也有一个节日，那是用来向他们的波莫娜女神表示敬意的。他们在熊筋的篝火前烤坚果和苹果。我们自己的万圣节前夜似乎就是由古罗马人的节日与德鲁伊德的节日揉合而成的。万圣节前夜的活动原来是非常简单的，而且大部分是在教堂里进行的。但在整个欧洲，人们都把万圣节前夜看作尽情玩闹、讲鬼故事和互相吓唬的好机会。于是人们不再把这节日用来赞美秋光，却让它变成神怪、巫婆和鬼魂的节日。

Halloween
When the harvest moon rises on October 31, little hobgoblins, spooky ghosts, ghoulish witches and gremlins — their young faces hidden behind grotesque masks — will go forth to frighten friends and neighbors and to threaten them with Trick or Treat .
Halloween (AII Hallows Eve) as the name implies, is a nighttime holiday, the one night in the year when the child‘s world turns to pure fantasy. Children take all the lead parts while parents and other *s play the supporting roles. Encouraged by teachers and merchants and the remembrance of the good time they had the earlier year, children (from 3 to 11 years old) start preparing their costumes and Halloween decorations weeks ahead. Although parents help the children very much prepare the costumes, on Halloween they must pretend to be frightened by the masked visions that suddenly appear. There will be little witches in long black dresses with tall-pointed hats and magic broomsticks to carry them over the rooftops — to a neighbor‘s house in the next block. Ghosts in sheets run with tell-tale sneakers and half socks showing; and terrible pirates with skull and cross-bones painted on their three-cornered hats. Some carry jack-o‘-lanterns but all carry bags or UNICEF boxes marked Trick or Treat, which fill up very fast.
Teenagers have their fun playing tricks that sometimes get rather rough. They throw eggs or tomatoes at passing motorists , mark up windows and windshields with hard-to-erase candle wax, roll pumpkins down long hills, carry away porch furniture and garbage can covers, engrave graffiti on fences, or do whatever bad things occur to them as they go around looking for ways to let off steam. Police officers are alert but they only arrest those caught doing real damage. In most communities there are school dances or block parties to help redirect the energies of the youthful pranksters. Business firms offer prizes for the best costumes and recreation directors help plan the party, but the young people themselves take charge of the entertainment and the decorations — a necessary part of Halloween. Dried corn stalks, pumpkin faces, and piles of apples create the harvest atmosphere; and cutouts of witches on their brooms, goblins, ghosts and black cats symbolize the witchcraft aspect of the holiday. The freshments — apple cider, popcorn and pumpkin pie, and witches made of spicy ginger cookies — also carry out both themes.
There is an occasional * Halloween Dance in a bright orange and black setting, with paper-made black cats, witches and grinning skeletons floating above the dance floor. But Halloween has become mainly a young people‘s holiday — and the younger the child the more exciting he finds it.

万圣节前夜
10月31日，当一轮满月从空中升起的时候，小妖精、妖魔鬼怪、恐怖的巫婆、小捣蛋鬼——孩子们把小脸蛋藏在奇形怪状的面具后——会突然出现在朋友及邻居面前，并威吓着说：“不给糖，要倒霉。”
万圣节前夜，顾名思义，就是仅一个晚上的节日。在一年中的这一夜，孩子们的心灵充满了单纯的梦幻奇境。他们是节日的主人，而父母或其他大人只能起陪衬作用。在老师和商人的鼓励下，在前一年欢度万圣节前夜的美好回忆的诱惑下，孩子们(3至11岁)几星期前便开始准备服装和节日装饰了。虽然家长往往都要帮助孩子们准备服装，但在节日那晚，他们一定要装出一副被突然出现的带面具的鬼怪吓着了的样子。那时，会有穿着黑色长袍、戴着尖尖高帽子的小巫婆出现，她们乘着神扫帚飞过屋顶，飞到临街邻居的屋顶上；还会有披着床单的鬼怪出现，他们边跑边露着帆布鞋和短袜子；还有那可怕的海盗，他们戴着绘有骸髅及交叉的大腿骨的三角帽。有的孩子手提用南瓜刻成的人面形灯笼，但每个孩子都手拿着袋子或联合国儿童基金会发的盒子，上面写着：“不给糖，要倒霉。”很快，这些袋子、盒子里便都装满了糖果。
十几岁的孩子玩那些恶作剧的游戏，有时使大人们相当为难。他们向过往的车辆扔鸡蛋或西红柿；往玻璃窗、汽车挡风玻璃上涂抹难以擦掉的蜡；把南瓜滚下长长的山路；搬走门廊里的家具；偷走垃圾箱盖；在篱笆上乱涂乱写，到处惹是生非；这样来消耗掉他们多余的精力。警察虽然警惕性很高，但也只能逮捕那些真正的犯罪者。在许多社区人们举办交际舞会或街区晚会，以分散那些搞恶作剧的年轻人的精力。会后由商业界为最佳服装颁发奖品。虽然文艺指导帮助策划晚会，但是年轻人都亲自负责组织活动和动手装饰，这些是万圣节前夜的必可不少的一部分。晒干的玉米秆、用南瓜雕刻成的人脸以及一堆堆的苹果，使晚会增加了丰收的气氛；用各种东西雕刻成的乘扫帚的巫婆、妖魔鬼怪和黑猫标志了节日的魔力。晚会上供应的新鲜食品——苹果酒、爆米花、南瓜馅饼以及制成巫婆形的辣姜饼——既增加了丰收的气氛，又标志了节日的魔力。
万圣节前夜偶尔也有成年人的舞会，舞台背景为鲜艳的橙色和黑色，舞场上还舞动着用纸做成的黑猫、巫婆及龇牙咧嘴的骷髅。尽管如此，万圣节前夜主要是孩子们的`节日—一孩子越小，就越兴奋。
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition,Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago,people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today,most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. 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 glow.
Halloween first came to America with early settlers from Celtic areas in Europe,such as Ireland and Scotland.But other American settlers with strict religious beliefs,including the Puritans from England,rejected Halloween.The arrival of many Irish immigrants during the 1800s helped spread Halloweens popularity.
But by the late 1800s,fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.
Halloween means Hallows Evening. It is the evening before All Hallows Day (now called All SaintsDay) , a Christian holiday, celebrated on the November 1st. History traces Halloween back to the ancient religion of the Celtics. The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish, Welshand Scottish people. In the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31st. On the November 1st, Celtic peoples celebrated the festival of Samhain,which marked the beginning of winter and the Celtic New Year. Celts thought the division between the natural world and the supernatural world became very thin and all time and space was abruptly suspended on October31st, and then the spirits of the died would come back and move freely looking for living bodies to possess.
Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening，" and it comes every October 31， the evening before All Saints Day. However， it is not really a church holiday， it is a holiday for children mainly.
Every autumn， when the vegetables are ready to eat， children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin！ These lights are called jack-o-lanterns， which means "Jack of the lantern".
The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house， they say，"Trick or treat！ Money or eat！" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.
Not only children， but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day，they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

每年的10月31日是西方国家的传统节日----万圣节。在万圣节前夕，我们杭州网的小记者展开了一次“万圣节英语文化之旅”。
我和妈妈早早地来到了活动集合地点，报到后领了一张活动的'介绍。等人差不多齐了后，我们各自得到了一个英文名，然后来到了一个充满万圣节气氛的小屋：神秘的黑色城堡与坟墓；诡异的南瓜灯；墙上贴满了各种各样的妖魔鬼怪的图案······让人直冒冷汗。
活动开始了，首先是通过一个小短片让我们知道了万圣节的由来：万圣节最早是爱尔兰人驱赶鬼神的节日，又叫“夏之尽头”。但信奉神的教皇不同意了，便把11月1日订为跪拜鬼神的节日，但10月31日晚要驱赶鬼神的呀，于是正式把“夏之尽头”改为“Hlloween(万圣节)”。据说这一天在西方国家，孩子们都会穿上精灵古怪的衣服提着南瓜灯挨家挨户讨糖吃。
既然说到挨家讨糖吃，接下来我们就玩了“Trick or treat（不给糖就捣蛋）”的游戏。我提了一盏南瓜灯敲了敲门，笑嘻嘻地说：“Trick or treat”，然后走进门，老师就给我了两颗糖。耶！太容易了！
最好玩的要数“咬苹果”了。老师把苹果悬挂在绳子上让我们去咬，但只能用嘴不能用手，谁先咬到，谁就是优胜者。轮到我了，我挑了个最中间的苹果准备下嘴。可是我的嘴刚碰到苹果，它就“跳”开了，反复尝试了好几次，都以失败告终。我急了，对准苹果张大嘴露出锋利的牙齿狠狠地咬了下去。呜……苹果“逃”得更快了，还来了个“反弹”，我的鼻子！游戏时间到了，虽然我没有咬到苹果，但作为鼓励老师还是送了我一只苹果。哈哈！我连忙用双手接过苹果咬了下去。这下你“逃”不掉了吧，用手拿着吃就是方便啊！
这次杭州网小记者的“万圣节英语文化之旅”可真有意思！

we had 5 students altogether. before that week, debby had already told us to learn something about halloween ourselves. on that day, debby spent an hour describing this american festival for us, such as “trick or cheat”, pumpkin and even, she took a pumpkin with her. first she took out a finished pumpkin lantern. that was really beautiful and ugly, we liked it so much. then she taught us how to make a pumpkin lantern by ourselves. we each held a small knife, learnt to cut and draw something on that pumpkin. finally, we made it and put a short candle into it. that was truly happy. and the most surprising thing was that the lantern was a present for that day’s super student.

万圣节前夜
10月31日，当一轮满月从空中升起的时候，小妖精、妖魔鬼怪、恐怖的巫婆、小捣蛋鬼——孩子们把小脸蛋藏在奇形怪状的面具后——会突然出现在朋友及邻居面前，并威吓着说：“不给糖，要倒霉。”
万圣节前夜，顾名思义，就是仅一个晚上的节日。在一年中的这一夜，孩子们的心灵充满了单纯的梦幻奇境。他们是节日的主人，而父母或其他大人只能起陪衬作用。在老师和商人的鼓励下，在前一年欢度万圣节前夜的美好回忆的诱惑下，孩子们(3至11岁)几星期前便开始准备服装和节日装饰了。虽然家长往往都要帮助孩子们准备服装，但在节日那晚，他们一定要装出一副被突然出现的带面具的鬼怪吓着了的样子。那时，会有穿着黑色长袍、戴着尖尖高帽子的小巫婆出现，她们乘着神扫帚飞过屋顶，飞到临街邻居的屋顶上；还会有披着床单的鬼怪出现，他们边跑边露着帆布鞋和短袜子；还有那可怕的海盗，他们戴着绘有骸髅及交叉的大腿骨的三角帽。有的孩子手提用南瓜刻成的人面形灯笼，但每个孩子都手拿着袋子或联合国儿童基金会发的盒子，上面写着：“不给糖，要倒霉。”很快，这些袋子、盒子里便都装满了糖果。
十几岁的孩子玩那些恶作剧的游戏，有时使大人们相当为难。他们向过往的车辆扔鸡蛋或西红柿；往玻璃窗、汽车挡风玻璃上涂抹难以擦掉的蜡；把南瓜滚下长长的山路；搬走门廊里的家具；偷走垃圾箱盖；在篱笆上乱涂乱写，到处惹是生非；这样来消耗掉他们多余的精力。警察虽然警惕性很高，但也只能逮捕那些真正的犯罪者。在许多社区人们举办交际舞会或街区晚会，以分散那些搞恶作剧的年轻人的精力。会后由商业界为最佳服装颁发奖品。虽然文艺指导帮助策划晚会，但是年轻人都亲自负责组织活动和动手装饰，这些是万圣节前夜的必可不少的一部分。晒干的玉米秆、用南瓜雕刻成的人脸以及一堆堆的苹果，使晚会增加了丰收的气氛；用各种东西雕刻成的乘扫帚的巫婆、妖魔鬼怪和黑猫标志了节日的魔力。晚会上供应的新鲜食品——苹果酒、爆米花、南瓜馅饼以及制成巫婆形的辣姜饼——既增加了丰收的气氛，又标志了节日的魔力。
万圣节前夜偶尔也有成年人的舞会，舞台背景为鲜艳的橙色和黑色，舞场上还舞动着用纸做成的黑猫、巫婆及龇牙咧嘴的骷髅。尽管如此，万圣节前夜主要是孩子们的节日—一孩子越小，就越兴奋。关于万圣节英语优秀作文：万圣节前夜

They at home fire to let those evil spirit leave their homes, they believe that the sun god calls the deceased person. They believed that the sun god dead variable for other things, like a cat.

When we think of Halloween, we think of "Trick or treat", pumpkins, Jack o lanterns, vampires and haunted houses. But do you know the origin of Halloween? Why does it fall on 31 October? What kind of festival is it? Why is it so creepy?
Halloween dates back to a Celtic festival called Samhain. November 1 is the new year of the Celts, who lived in Europe more than a thousand years ago. This is the day which marked the end of summer and harvest. The Celts believed that on the night of October 31, ghosts of the dead would return to earth. The Celts celebrated Samhain by dressing up in costumes with animal heads and having bonfires. Many Celts settled in Britain and Ireland, where the festival became popular. Those who moved to America took the tradition with them.
Nowadays, most people celebrate Halloween but only for fun. They are not worried about ghosts. Kids in America will dress up as devils or angels and will go from house to house calling "Trick or treat", playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets. Americans spend more money on Halloween than Christmas! In 20xx, more than HK$45 billion was spent on Halloween. And HK$15 billion of that was spent on candy alone!!!
Kids in Britain also dress up at Halloween. They visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get sweets. Many go to Halloween parties and play games like "ducking for apples". You must pick up an apple in water but you can only use your mouth. Try it!
Halloween means Hallows' Evening.It is the evening before All Hallows' Day (now called All Saints'Day) ,a Christian holiday,celebrated on the November 1st.
History traces Halloween back to the ancient religion of the Celtics.
The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish,Welsh and Scottish people.In the 5th century BC,in Celtic Ireland,summer officially ended on October 31st.On the November 1st,Celtic peoples celebrated the festival of Samhain,which marked the beginning of winter and the Celtic New Year.Celts thought the division between the natural world and the supernatural world became very thin and all time and space was abruptly suspended on October 31st,and then the spirits of the died would come back and move freely looking for living bodies to possess.

Halloween is also a time for masquerade parties. Witches fly in on broomsticks, while ghosts and skeletons chat on the dance floor.
You can even dress up as a famous monster like Dracula! The motto is: "The scarier, the better."

Children also enjoy "Halloween Worms," made from egg noodles. And how do you like the sound of "Eye—Balls"?Dont worry, theyre made with scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice creaam, shaped like human eyes. Skeleton—shaped cookies are equally popular.
树上到处悬挂着鬼怪小玩偶，屋顶盘踞着巨大的塑料蜘蛛，墓穴里伸出一双血淋淋的塑胶手……一年之中最恐怖的夜晚到来了，你准备好了吗？
10月31日万圣节前夜是美国、加拿大和英国最受欢迎的节日之一。这个节日源起于对死者的纪念日。但现在它已经完全成为一场大狂欢，人们尽情享受着改装易容互相恐吓的乐趣。
万圣节前夜还是一年之中孩子们最喜欢的一个夜晚。他们打扮成妖怪去邻居家，敲着门大喊：“不给糖就捣蛋！”当然，人们通常会给他们“糖”——比如甜食或者巧克力。但如果你不给，那就等着一场恶作剧吧，你会发现你的车窗被涂上了肥皂，垃圾桶翻倒在地，等等。
万圣节前夜还是举办化妆舞会的好时机。你会看到女巫坐着扫帚柄飞进来，鬼怪和骷髅则在舞池中窃窃私语。
你还可以化妆成像吸血鬼那样特别可怕的妖怪。有句谚语说：“越恐怖越好。”
甚至连万圣节前夜做的食物也要像下了咒语或者配备魔法饮料。在英国，人们喝一种叫“巫师之饮”的东西，用苹果、橘子、葡萄和浆果的汁调配而成。孩子们还喜欢吃“万圣节虫子”，是用鸡蛋面做的。你觉得“眼珠子”听上去怎么样？别担心，那只是用几勺巧克力和香草冰激凌做的，只不过像是人眼的形状。头盖骨形状的饼干同样也很受欢迎。
