+ 加入清单Halloween
Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.
Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".
The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.
Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.
万圣节前夕
万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”,在每年的10月31日,也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日,而主要是孩子们的节日。
每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候,孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸,把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”,意思也就是“杰克的灯”。
每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具,穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说:“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。
不仅孩子,许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

Well, Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. 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. 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 traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

And knock on doors

Tonight we are

+ 加入清单我最最最喜欢的节日就是万圣节了。虽然万圣节,对于中国人来说这可能只是普通的一天,但对西方人来说,这可是个“鬼节”!而我,也在那个月黑风高的晚上,度过了那个难忘、愉快、惊险的万圣节……
在当天的放学之际,我压根就不知道今天是万圣节,但我正准备出校门时,曹霄鹏一把把我拉着,对我说:“哎,王虹儒,今天是万圣节,阳光飞扬那儿要举办聚会,你去不去?”我一听,心头一喜,还有这等有趣的事,反正在家也无聊,不如答应吧。我便对曹霄鹏呵呵一笑,说:“好!咱俩不见不散。”回家后,心想:聚会?一定很好玩,还是关于万圣节的,我得去必须得去尝个鲜。吃完饭,便和曹霄鹏一起来到了阳光飞扬。
终于到了,在门口的两个小鬼差点把我吓了一大跳:他们两个面目狰狞,苍白,远看像两个张牙舞爪的小鬼,近看像两头发嗜兽性的恶魔。我们躲开了这两个怪兽,走进去,也仍有一股寒气瑟瑟,刺人心骨的感觉:古老的南瓜灯上披着厚厚的灰,似乎正在用它那扭曲的表情欢迎你的到来。苍白的白炽灯一闪一闪地,好像快要爆了一样。我和曹霄鹏小心翼翼地走了上去——哦,原来是做游戏 ,有“鬼吹灯”——吹蜡烛,“血盆大口”——咬橘子,“身后是什么”——猜谜……我都玩过了,其中,最令我难忘的还得属那阴森森的鬼屋了。
记得那个时候,鬼屋门口堵满了人,大家都跃跃欲试,但出来的人都抹抹,胸口说:里面真有鬼吗?我心想:真的有鬼吗?顿时,我害怕起来,不想进去了,正在我徘徊之际,曹霄鹏对我说:“走,进去领教一下。”我硬着头皮说:“对,去领教一下。”但我在后面走着,可心里就像有一千只小兔子怦怦直跳,搞得我忐忑不安。我悄悄地推开门,首先映入眼帘的是一个吊死的女人,似乎在哭诉,眼睛似乎正发愤怒的光。我一惊,飞快地朝前跑去,忽然不知道从哪儿发出凄凉的叫唤声,这声音在这屋子里发出共鸣,一阵阵的回声在我心中磨出涟猗,不由得生起几丝恐惧。我继续走着踩到一个圆圆的东西,呀!竟是一个脑袋!还有手、还有脚、还有一大滩血!我的心里再也承受不了了,怎么办,我再也不敢往前走了,飞奔出去,抹着胸口喘着大气说:“吓死我了。”脑海里不断重现着刚才的画面。直到最后才知道,那女人只是个裙子;声音是一台地下的电脑发出来的;断手、断脚等是一些塑料做的;还有那血,是番茄酱……假如我不知道这些秘密的话,那晚上一定睡不着……
呵呵,这个万圣节过得真有趣,不仅锻炼了我的胆量,还让这一天在我的记忆里留下了充实与快乐。

篇20:万圣节英语作文
全文共 1387 字
+ 加入清单The American tradition of "trick-or-treating" probably dates back to the early All Souls Day parades in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the familys dead relatives.
The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. The practice, which was referred to as "going a-souling" was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food, and money.
The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago, winter was an uncertain and frightening time. Food supplies often ran low and, for the many people afraid of the dark, the short days of winter were full of constant worry. On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.
