萬聖節的起源
While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween, some remain consistentby all accounts. Different cultures view Halloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same.
儘管關於萬聖節的起源和舊俗有很多不同的看法，但有一些是被所有人接受的。不同文化看待萬聖節總是有點不同，但是傳統的萬聖節做的事情都是一樣的'。
Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feastof Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.
萬聖節文化可以追溯到德魯伊教，這是一種愛爾蘭、北歐和英國的凱爾特文化，根植於Samhain節的慶祝活動，Samhain節於每年的10月31日紀念逝者。
Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.
Samhain節說明夏天結束或者十一月，是一個豐收的節日。在Samhain節會燃起神聖巨大的篝火，標誌著凱爾特一年的結束和新一年的開始。一些做法因為迷信被加入慶祝活動中。
The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacifythe evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.
凱爾特人相信死者的靈魂會在夜裡出沒在街道和村莊 。因為他們認為不是所有的靈魂都是友善的，所以就把禮物和好吃的留在外面安慰惡靈來確保來年的莊稼可以豐收。這種習俗演變成了trick-or-treating。
