Did you know
What is "trick or treat"?
萬圣節(jié)前夜，孩子們裝扮成精靈鬼怪，拎著南瓜燈挨家挨戶要糖果。敲門時，他們會喊"trick(搞惡作劇) or treat(招待)"。 主人可以選擇款待，也可以選擇搞惡作劇。 遇到吝嗇的主人，孩子們也可能搞惡作劇。據(jù)說這個習(xí)俗起源于愛爾蘭。那時候的人認(rèn)為鬼魂會在萬圣節(jié)前夜到來，所以人們就自己扮成鬼怪精靈。They walk on the street, and usually put some food in the yard. 這樣就喂飽了鬼，鬼就不會傷害到人了。 這個習(xí)俗延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，成了孩子們一年中最開心的節(jié)日之一。
Halloween已成為一些西方國家的一個季節(jié)性節(jié)日。很多人將此作為秋天的結(jié)束和冬天的到來。After Halloween, everybody waits for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and New Year.
