【万圣节的由来英文版简短带中文翻译】Halloween, originally known as All Hallows' Eve, is the evening before All Saints' Day, which is celebrated on November 1st. The festival has its roots in ancient Celtic traditions, particularly the festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.
万圣节,最初被称为“万圣夜”,是11月1日“诸圣节”的前一晚。这个节日起源于古代凯尔特人的传统,尤其是“萨温节”(Samhain),标志着丰收季节的结束和冬季的开始。
The Celts believed that during this time, the boundary between the living and the dead was thin, and spirits could return to the world of the living. To protect themselves, they would light bonfires and wear costumes to scare away evil spirits.
凯尔特人认为,在这段时间里,生者与死者之间的界限变得模糊,亡灵可以回到人间。为了保护自己,他们点燃篝火并穿上服装,以驱赶邪恶的灵魂。
Over time, the Christian church incorporated these customs into its own traditions, and Halloween began to take on a more festive and community-oriented character. Today, it is widely celebrated around the world with activities such as trick-or-treating, costume parties, and decorating homes with pumpkins.
随着时间的推移,基督教教会将这些习俗融入自己的传统中,万圣节逐渐演变成更加欢乐和社区化的节日。如今,全球各地都广泛庆祝这一节日,活动包括“不给糖就捣蛋”、化妆派对以及用南瓜装饰房屋等。
