on october 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes(节日服装)knock on their neighbors’ doors and yell "trick or treat" when the door opens. pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. as they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks.

since the 800’s november 1st is a religious holiday known as all saints’ day(万圣节). the mass that was said on this day was called allhallowmas. the evening before became known as all hakkiw e’en, or halloween. like some other american celebrations, its origins lie in both pre-christian and christian customs.

october 31 st was the eve of the celtic(凯尔特人的)new year. the celts were the ancestors of the present-day irish, welsh and scottish people. on this day ghosts walked and mingled with the living, or so the celts thought. the townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the dead. hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully before midnight of the new year.

much later, when christianity spread throughout ireland and october 31 was no longer the last day of the year, halloween became a celebration mostly for children. "ghosts" went from door to door asking for treats, or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house. when millions of irish people immigrated to the united states in the 1840s the tradition came with them.

today’ school dances and neighborhood parties called "block parties" are popular among young and old alike. more and more adults celebrate halloween. they dress up like historical or political figures and go to mmasquerade parties(化妆舞会). in larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children.

teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!

certain pranks(恶作剧)such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. but partying and pranks are not the only things that halloweeners enjoy doing. some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world.

symbols of halloween

halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. witches flying on broomsticks with black cats, ghosts, goblins(小精灵)and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of halloween. they are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows. black is one of the traditional halloween colors, probably because halloween festivals and traditions took place at night. in the weeks before october 31, americans decorate windows of houses and schools with silhouettes(轮廓)of witches and black cats.

pumpkins are also a symbol of halloween. the pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the other traditional halloween color. carving pumpkins into jack- o’lanterns is a halloween custom also dating back to ireland. a legend grew up about a man named jack who was so stingy(吝啬的)that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser(吝啬鬼). he couldn’t enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil. as a result, jack had to walk the earth with his lantern until judgement day(审判日). the irish people carved scary faces out of turnips(芜菁根), beets(甜菜根)or potatoes representing "jack of the lantern," or jack-o’lantern. when the irish brought their customs to the united states, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips. today jack-o’-lanterns in the windows of a house on halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies(糖果)waiting if they knock and say "trick or treat!"

halloween or hallowe'en ,also known as allhalloween,all hallows' eve,or all saints' eve,is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 october,the eve of the western christian feast of all hallows' day.it initiates the triduum of allhallowtide,the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead,including saints (hallows),martyrs,and all the faithful departed believers.within allhallowtide,the traditional focus of all hallows' eve

revolves around the theme of using "humor and ridicule to confront the

power of death."

according to many scholars,all hallows' eve is a christianized feast initially influenced by celtic harvest festivals,with possible pagan roots,particularly the gaelic samhain.other scholars maintain that it originated independently of samhain and has solely christian roots.

typical festive halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related "guising"),attending costume parties,decorating,carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns,lighting bonfires,apple bobbing,visiting haunted house attractions,playing pranks,telling scary stories,and watching horror films.in many parts of the world,the christian religious observances of all hallows' eve,including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead,remain popular,although in other locations,these solemn customs are less pronounced

in favor of a more commercialized and secularized celebration.because many western christian denominations encourage,although no longer require,abstinence from meat on all hallows' eve,the tradition of eating certain vegetarian foods for this vigil day developed,including the consumption of apples,colcannon,cider,potato pancakes,and soul cakes.

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 adult 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.

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 adults 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 firmms offer prizes for the best costumes and recreation directors help plann 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.
