介绍:
Halloween
Evolving from the ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain, modern Halloween has become less about literal ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The Celts used the day to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and also believed that this transition between the seasons was a bridge to the world of the dead. Over the millennia the holiday transitioned from a somber pagan ritual to a day of merriment, costumes, parades and sweet treats for children and adults. 译文: 万圣节
万圣节源自古时凯尔特人充斥着魑魅魍魉的萨温节,而如今我们用服饰和糖果来庆贺。凯尔特人将这一天作为收获季的终点和冬季的起点,并相信在此季节转换的关口,亡者的世界会与生者互通。数千年后,阴郁的异教仪式变成大人小孩儿们嬉戏玩闹,穿上奇装异服,到街上游行或搞怪并索要糖果的欢乐夜。
