1. 英语单词解释

“Trick or treat”，这习俗却并非源自爱尔兰，而是始于公元九世纪的欧洲基督教会。那时的11月2日，被基督徒们称为 “ALL SOULS DAY”（万灵之日）。在这一天，信徒们跋涉于僻壤乡间，挨村挨户乞讨用面粉及葡萄干制成的“灵魂之饼”。据说捐赠糕饼的人家都相信教会僧人的祈祷，期待由此得到上帝的佑护，让死去的亲人早日进入天堂。这种挨家乞讨的传统传至当今竟演变成了孩子们提着南瓜灯笼挨家讨糖吃的游戏。见面时，打扮成鬼精灵模样的孩子们千篇一律地都要发出“不请吃就捣乱”的威胁，而主人自然不敢怠慢，连声说“请吃！请吃！”同时把糖果放进孩子们随身携带的大口袋里。10月31日是Halloween，英语辞典对这个字的解释是“The eve of All Saints’Day”，中文译作为“万圣节之夜”，美国华人简单地称之为“鬼节”。今天晚上7时开始，在曼哈顿六大道将举办声势浩大的鬼节游行，这是纽约市最大的“鬼节”活动，是喜欢“鬼”的人们不能不看的一个节目。 在万圣节期间，纽约市的很多公共场所，大小商场，居家院落，都布置上标新立异的装饰，各式鬼怪、南瓜灯、黑猫以及巫婆的扫帚之类，纷纷登场，有的“恐怖”，有的好玩。而今天晚上，孩子们会穿上万圣节服装，拎着南瓜灯的提篓去挨家挨户讨糖，口中念着一句“trick or treat”(不给糖就捣蛋)。这是大家都看得到的现象。但是说到万圣节的由来以及为什么万圣节要用南瓜灯，为什么要说“trick or treat”。 “Trick or treat”及南瓜灯的说法 孩子们万圣节夜着装挨家要糖的习俗，据说起源于爱尔兰。古西欧时候的爱尔兰异教徒们，相信在万圣节前夜鬼魂会群集于居家附近，并接受设宴款待。因而，在“宴会”结束后，村民们就自己扮成鬼魂精灵，游走村外，引导鬼魂离开，避邪免灾。于此同时，村民们也都注意在屋前院后的摆布些水果及其他食品，喂足鬼魂而不至于让它们伤害人类和动物或者掠夺其他收成。后来这习俗一直延续下来，就成了孩子们取笑不慷慨之家的玩笑。 至于南瓜灯也至少有两种说法。一种说是人挖空了南瓜又刻上鬼脸点上烛火用以驱散鬼魂的；另一种说是鬼魂点上的烛火，试图骗取人们上当而跟着鬼魂走，所以人们就在南瓜表面刻上一个嘲讽的脸面，用以调笑鬼魂：哼！傻瓜才会上你的当。传说因为首用南瓜的是一位爱尔兰人杰克(Jack)，所以人们又将鬼脸南瓜灯叫做“杰克灯”(Jack-O-Lantern)。
