兒童雙語故事Holloween萬聖節

  One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into Heaven because he wasstingy with his money.

  關於萬聖節有這樣一個故事。是說有一個叫傑克的愛爾蘭人,因為他對錢特別的吝嗇,就不允許他進入天堂,而被打入地獄。

  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.

  但是在那裡他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦,所以被踢出地獄,罰他提著燈籠永遠在人世裡行走。

  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.

  在十月三十一日愛爾蘭的孩子們用土豆和蘿蔔製作“傑克的燈籠”,他們把中間挖掉、表面上打洞並在裡邊點上蠟燭。

  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.

  ]為村裡慶祝督伊德神的萬聖節,孩子們提著這種燈籠挨家挨戶乞討食物。

  The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."The traditionalHalloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night.

  這種燈籠的愛爾蘭名字是“拿燈籠的傑克”或者“傑克的燈籠”,縮寫為Jack-o'-lantern 。現在你在大多數書裡讀到的萬聖節只是孩子們開心的夜晚。

  Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

  在小學校裡,萬聖節是每年十月份開始慶祝的。
