1、万圣节的由来和习俗(英文版)双语阅读:万圣节的习俗和来源(一) 万圣节立即就要到了,各种南瓜灯、稻草人等万圣节的装饰和符号代表的意思你都知道吗?万圣节又是在什么时候起源的?为什么在这个节日里,我们必读得买糖果和盛装装扮呢?下面的雅思双语阅读材料将为大家详细解答这些问题,一起来看看吧! Halloween as we know it today bears little resemblance tothe Roman harvest festivals especially celebrated the appleharvest. 如今为大众所周知的万圣节与曾经古罗马的丰收节略有相像之处。当时丰
2、收节这节日是特地为庆祝苹果树的大丰收而建立的。 The name Halloween comes from the 1500s, and is avariation on “All-Hallows-Even”, the night before All SaintsDay, or All Hallows Day.? As with many things, the CatholicChurch had a holiday to coincide with a pagan celebration.? 万圣节名字的由来大约在1500年月。是由“All-Hallows-Even”演化而来。在天下圣徒
3、之日(All Saints Day)即万圣节的前夕,天主教的教堂会以一个异教徒为批判对象进行一次集会。这就是万圣节的起源 So what do witches, ghosts, goblins, and the like have to dowith all this history? Read on to find out. 但是巫师、幽灵、鬼怪和其他诸类事物又对这段历史产生了怎样的影响?让我接着往下读。 Corn Husks and Stalks of Wheat 谷壳和小麦的茎干 The significance of corn husks and stalks of wheat is
4、prettystraightforward.? Halloween comes in the autumn, the traditionalfestival celebrated the end of summer and the end of theharvest, so these images are meant to represent the end ofharvest and the beginning of winter.? Corn and wheat are symbols of agricultural change, and the change of the seaso
5、ns.? 稻谷的外壳还有小麦的茎干所传达的意思是特殊鲜亮的。万圣节深受在秋季时分庆祝夏日离去、丰收结束的传统节日的影响。所以谷壳和麦茎就是在传达着丰收的喜讯还有冬季即将到来的消息。稻谷和小麦是全部农作物从耕种到丰收阶段的变化,同时也在向人们传递着四季交替的信息。 The Colors Orange and Black 主打橙色和黑色 The colors orange and black are most likely further representations of the time of year, rather than any Halloweenlore or mythology.
6、? The color orange likely represents autumn,when the leaves change from green and orange pumpkins areripe for the picking.? As mentioned earlier, the Celtic festivalmarked the transition between “light” days and “dark” days so the black likely represents those dark days of winter whenthere are fewer
7、 daylight hours to attend to the fields and crops.?Of course, the modern secular Halloween retailers have certainlypushed the orange-and-black as official colors of Halloween, sosuch an explanation seems weak, but its true.? Sorry, to quotesome movie somewhere, “orange is the new black.”? Or pink.?O
8、r something. 万圣节之所以是橙色和黑色作为主打色,很可能是由于在某种深层次的角度而言,这俩颜色象征了一年之中季节的变化,没必要把颜色的问题上升到学术或者奇妙学的高度来探讨。橙色很可能象征着秋季。当叶子从绿色变成了橘黄色,南瓜也是如此,好像在提示人们“我已经成熟啦,快来采我吧”。在更早一些的年份,古代的凯尔特文化下的节日把时间标记为“白色”和“黑色”。而“黑色”代表的就是冬季的时间,由于凯尔特文化发源于北爱尔兰,众所周知秋冬交际,太阳向南回归线移动,白天的时间短了,自然而然,黑色成为了冬季的代表色。现在万圣节时期零售商们售卖的流行玩具大体都是这两种色调。尽管你可能会觉得关于主打色的解
9、释有点牵强,但这可是真的。 Spiders 蜘蛛 As we move more into the “spooky” tales of the Halloweensymbol, well start with spiders.? Go to a Halloween party andyoure sure to see fake spider webs spread all over the place.?Forgoing a discussion of any potential mystical qualities a spidermight have (because, ew), it i
10、s significant that spiders weavewebs, which has long been associated with the passing of time,progress, and fate.? OK, so maybe thats a little mystical too.?All in all, though, the spiders spinning of its web is a great natural representation of the cycle of life a spider spins its web,bugs fly into
11、 the web, nourish the spider, etc.? Also, spiders likedusty, dark places. 当我们一想起无奇不有的万圣节时,蜘蛛总是不行或缺的。假如你去参加一个万圣节晚会,我敢保证你能在墙上看到任凭布置的假蜘蛛网。摒弃一切关于蜘蛛的潜在的神话故事,我想蜘蛛之所以消逝在万圣节的舞台很可能是由于它编织的蜘蛛网,让人联想到了时间的消逝,生活的前进,还有命运的不行预知。好吧,我承认,讲到这里就有点奇妙感了。总而言之呢,蜘蛛织网的行径在自然界是象征生命循环的宏大代表蜘蛛编织它的网,昆虫粘在网上,成为蜘蛛的大餐等等,同时,蜘蛛宠爱满是灰尘而又黑暗的地

13、 celebration about the end of the light seasons and the beginningof the dark ones would incorporate them.? Additionally, in theold days Halloween meant big bonfires, which draw mosquitoesand moths, which would in turn draw bats,。Also, once vampirelegends made their way into Halloween folklore, the p
14、osition ofthe bat was set since it was thought that vampires couldtransform into bats.? 蝙蝠是昼伏夜出的动物。庆祝丰收原本就是在白色季节(秋季)的结束和黑色季节(冬季)的开头期间。于是蝙蝠自然而然成为“步入夜色”的代表动物。除此之外,万圣节曾经流行的庆祝方式是在篝火旁进行。这样无疑吸引了许多蚊子和蛾子,因此也间接吸引来了蝙蝠。同时,吸血鬼传奇一度曾是民间最流行的热点话题。自从古人认定吸血鬼能够变成蝙蝠在天空中飘舞的时候,蝙蝠在人们心中的地位便再也无法动摇了。 Black Cats 黑猫 OK, so whi
15、le Halloween started out to be about the end ofharvest, etc., there are some ancient cultures who also believedthat, on Halloween night, the veil between the living world andthe spirit world was, if not lifted entirely, at least a little thinner.?Ancient Celtic religions taught that cats were reinca
