关于万圣节的英语故事(中英文对照)

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 jack's 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
abbreviated as
the traditional halloween you can read about in most books was just
children's fun night. halloween celebrations would start in october in
every elementary school.
children would make halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper
jack-o- lanterns. and from black paper you'd cut
evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick,
maybe with black bats flying across the moon, and that meant bad luck.
and of course black cats for more bad luck. sometimes a black cat would
ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom.

and on halloween night we'd dress up in mom or dad's old shoes and
clothes, put on a mask, and be ready to go outside. the little kids
(children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers, but we
older ones went together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and
yelling,
or we'll play a trick on you!
the door and comment on our costumes.
oh! here's a ghost. oh, there's a witch. oh, here's an old lady.
sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by
some ghost or witch. but they would always have some candy and maybe an
apple to put in our
door, or if someone chased us away? then we'd play a trick on them,
usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows. .and
afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy. one popular
teen-agers' halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and
throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped
in the white paper. the paper would often stay in the tree for weeks
until a heavy snow or rain washed it off. no real harm done, but it made
a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. one kind of halloween
mischief.
注释：

1. was stingy with：对……吝啬。st ingy这个词你可不要去模仿，因为他是
“吝啬的”意思，要不你可要成为“葛朗台”了！但你可要注 意stinggy这个形容
词词是和介词with连用的呀！
2. carrying a lantern：拿着灯笼。这里用carrying作walk的伴随状语，更
生动地说明可怜的 jack无论走到哪里手里都要提着灯笼了。好累呀！
3. neighbors' house s：邻居的屋子。neighbors本身已经是复数，有一个
“s”了。如果表示“邻居的”，就不能 加“'s”（太累赘），而要直接加“'”
了。所以就是neighbors' houses。
4. come to the door：应门。“走到门前面”自然就是要来开门看看是哪些小
调皮在捣乱啦！
5. unroll a roll of toilet paper：打开一卷纸。这么多roll，可别怵！
roll是“卷、卷起”的意思，a roll of toilet paper是一卷手纸；unroll则是
roll（卷起）的反义词“打开”的 意思，所以就是“打开一卷手纸”了！
万圣节
关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有 一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人，因为他对钱特别
吝啬，就不允许他进入天堂，而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是 捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所
以被踢出地狱，罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。
在十月三十一日爱尔 兰的孩子们用土豆和罗卜制作“杰克的灯笼”，他们把中
间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里 庆祝督伊德神的万圣节，孩子们提
着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰 克”或者
“杰克的灯笼”，缩写为jack-o'-lantern 现在拼写为jack-o- lantern。
现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。在小学校里，万圣< br>节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。

孩子们会制作万圣节的 装饰品：各种各样桔黄色的南瓜灯。你可以用黑色的纸
做一个可怕的造形——一个骑在扫帚把上戴着尖尖 帽子的女巫飞过天空，或者是黑
蝙蝠飞过月亮。这些都代表恶运。当然黑猫代表运气更差。有时候会出现 黑猫骑在
女巫扫帚后面飞向天空的造形。
在万圣节的晚上，我们都穿着爸爸妈妈的旧衣服 和旧鞋子，戴上面具，打算外
出。比我们小的孩子必须和他们的母亲一块出去，我们大一点的就一起哄到 邻居
家，按他们的门铃并大声喊道：“恶作剧还是招待！”意思是给我们吃的，要不我
们就捉弄 你。里边的人们应该出来评价我们的化装。
“噢！这是鬼，那是女巫，这是个老太婆。”
有时候他们会跟我们一起玩，假装被鬼或者女巫吓着了。但是他们通常会带一
些糖果或者苹 果放进我们的“恶作剧还是招待”的口袋里。可是要是没人回答门铃
或者是有人把我们赶开该怎么办呢？ 我们就捉弄他们，通常是拿一块肥皂把他们的
玻璃涂得乱七八糟。然后我们回家，数数谁的糖果最多。
还有一个典型的万圣节花招是把一卷手纸拉开，不停地往树上扔，直到树全被
白纸裹起来。 除非下大雪或大雨把纸冲掉，纸会一直呆在树上。这并不造成真正的
伤害，只是把树和院子搞乱，一种万 圣节的恶作剧。
