万圣节来历中英文介绍 篇1

While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween, some remain consistent by all accounts. Different cultures view Holloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same.

Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.

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.

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 pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.

尽管关于万圣节的起源和旧俗有很多不同的看法，但有一些是被所有人接受的。不同文化看待万圣节总是有点不同，但是传统的万圣节做的事情都是一样的。

万圣节文化可以追溯到德鲁伊教，这是一种爱尔兰、北欧和英国的凯尔特文化，根植于Samhain节的庆祝活动，Samhain节于每年的10月31日纪念逝者。

Samhain节说明夏天结束或者十一月，是一个丰收的节日。在Samhain节会燃起神圣巨大的篝火，标志着凯尔特一年的'结束和新一年的开始。一些做法因为迷信被加入庆祝活动中。

凯尔特人相信死者的灵魂会在夜里出没在街道和村庄。因为他们认为不是所有的灵魂都是友善的，所以就把礼物和好吃的留在外面安慰恶灵来确保来年的庄稼可以丰收。这种习俗演变成了trick-or-treating。

万圣节的传说 篇2

万圣节前夜就是"圣夜"的意思。而今天，万圣节前夜已经变成一年中最流行和最受欢迎的节日之一，许多玩家都以极大的热情来庆祝这一节日。

万圣节在10月31日，其实是赞美秋天的节日，就好像五朔节是赞美春天的节日一样。古代高卢、不列颠和爱尔兰的祭司——德鲁伊德有一个赞美秋天的盛大节日，从10月31日午夜开始，直至次日11月1日持续整整一天。他们认为，在那天晚上他们伟大的死神——萨曼会把那年死去人的鬼魂统统召来，这些恶鬼要受到托生为畜类的惩罚。当然，只要想到这种鬼魅的聚会，就足以令当时那些头脑简单的愚民胆战心谅的了。于是他们点起冲天的篝火，并严密监视这些恶鬼。

万圣节前夜到处有女巫和鬼魂的说法就是这么开始的。至今在欧洲某些与世隔绝的地区还有人相信这是真的。

如今在整个欧洲，人们都把万圣节前夜看作尽情玩闹、讲鬼故事和互相吓唬的好机会。于是人们不再把这节日仅仅用来赞美秋光，而是让它变成一场真正的“狂欢”。而脸谱化妆是万圣节传统节目之一。

Ⅲ。the origin of halloween

two thousand years ago, europe's catholic church on november 1 as the "world day saints" (all hallows day)。 "hallow" meaning that the saints. bc five hundred years since the legend, living in ireland, scotland

comical faces carved pumpkin jack portland and other places in the celtic (celts) moved forward this festive day, that is, 10 31. they think that the formal end of the day is the day of the summer, that is, the new year, the beginning of the harsh winter day. at that time people believed that the spirits of the enemy back in the day to find the former residence of the body in the living creatures, to regeneration, and this is the man to be reborn after death, the only hope. and the living death of the soul are afraid to come and take away life, so people put out the fire on this day, candlelight, so that the soul can not find the living dead, gets himself dressed as ghosts and goblins to scare away the dead souls. after the candle they will rekindle the fire to start the new year of life. tribal celtic legend was still in october 31 to pay homage to the dead kill the living customs.

to the 1st century ad, celtic tribes occupied the territory of the roman people have gradually accepted the halloween customs, but abolished the burning from the brutal practice of the living dead festival. romans and the celtic harvest festival celebrated with ceremony, wearing a scary mask, dressed up as animals or monsters, it is to get rid of their demons wandering around. this is most of the world today, people with weird dress, to celebrate the origin of halloween. the passage of time, the meaning of halloween has changed gradually, becoming an active happy, happy means into the mainstream. dead soul back to the world to find a substitute for argument has gradually been abandoned and forgotten. today, the symbol of halloween images, pictures such as witches, black cats, etc.， are friendly and cute and big funny face.

after the roman emperor constantine to christ, establish christianity as the state religion, then christianity has evolved into a real catholic. constantine ordered the country people have converted to christianity, the results did not repent of the pagans joined the church, brought in the various pagan style, including the dead festival, they have to maintain the festival as part of life.

as the church can not eliminate people's pagan custom, only the part of the customs and sanctified, in particular, died oct. 3 day festival. in the eighth century, pope set nov. 1 as all saints day (all saints' day)， to remember the martyrdom of the saints of all the history of the church. this date is october sayi the eve of all saints day. catholic church will allow people a feast day on october sayi, because nov. 1 is the holy day. later, all saint's day became all hallows day, the hallows are "holy" means october sayi day is halloween (all hallows evening)。 evening was later reduced to eve and een, the former is "on the eve of" means, which is short for evening, which means "night"， has become today's halloween, on behalf of death-day festival is the eve of halloween. chinese simply called the october 3 一日 halloween, in fact, that translated as "all souls day."

三、万圣节的起源

两千多年前，欧洲的天主教会把11月1日定为“天下圣徒之日” (allhallows day) 。“hallow” 即圣徒之意。传说自公元前五百年，居住在爱尔兰、苏格兰等地的凯尔特人 (celts) 把这节日往前移了一天，即10月31分页日。他们认为该日是夏天正式结束的日子，也就是新年伊始，严酷的冬季开始的一天。那时人们相信，故人的亡魂会在这一天回到故居地在活人身上找寻生灵，借此再生，而且这是人在死后能获得再生的唯一希望。而活着的人则惧怕死魂来夺生，于是人们就在这一天熄掉炉火、烛光，让死魂无法找寻活人，又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人之魂灵吓走。之后，他们又会把火种烛光重新燃起，开始新的一年的生活。传说那时凯尔特人部落还有在10月 31日把活人杀死用以祭奠死人的习俗。

到了公元1世纪，占领了凯尔特部落领地的罗马人也渐渐接受了万圣节习俗，但从此废止了烧活人祭死人的野蛮做法。罗马人庆祝丰收的节日与凯尔特人仪式结合，戴着可怕的面具，打扮成动物或鬼怪，则是为了赶走在他们四周游荡的妖魔。这也就是今天全球大部分人以古灵精怪的打扮，来庆祝万圣节的由来。时间流逝，万圣节的意义逐渐起了变化，变得积极快乐起来，喜庆的意味成了主流。死魂找替身返世的说法也渐渐被摒弃和忘却。到了今天，象征万圣节的形象、图画如巫婆、黑猫等，大都有友善可爱和滑稽的脸。

罗马皇帝君士坦丁信主后，立基-督教为国教，当时的基-督教实际已演变成天主教。 君士坦丁下令全国人民都要皈依基-督教，结果没有悔改的异教徒加入了教会，把各样 异教作风带进来，包括死节，他们要维持这节日为生活的一部分。

由于教会无法消除民众的异教风俗，只有把部分风俗圣化，特别是十月三一日的死 节。在第八世纪，罗马教皇定十一月一日为万圣日(all saints’ day)，来记念教会史 上一切殉道的圣徒。这样，十月卅一日便是万圣日的前夕。天主教会容许民众在-十-月 卅一日守节，因为十一月一日是圣日。后来all saint’sday 变成all hallows day， 而hallows是“神圣”的意思，十月卅一日便是万圣夜(all hallows evening)。evening后来缩减为eve和een，前者是“前夕”的意思，后者是evening的 缩写，意即“夜晚”，便成为今天的halloween，代表死节是万圣日的前夕。华人索性把十月三一日称为万圣节，其实该译作“万灵节”。

译文：万圣节的由来

关于万圣节由来的传说有许多版本，最普遍的认为，那是源于基-督诞生前的古西欧国家，主要包括爱尔兰、苏格兰和威尔士。这几处的古西欧人叫德鲁伊特人。德鲁伊特的新年在十一月一日，新年前夜，德鲁伊特人让年轻人集队，戴着各种怪异面具，拎着刻好的萝卜灯（南瓜灯系后期习俗，古西欧最早没有南瓜），他们游走于村落间。这在当时实则为一种秋收的庆典；也有说是“鬼节”，传说当年死去的人，灵魂会在万圣节的前夜造访人世，据说人们应该让造访的鬼魂看到圆满的收成并对鬼魂呈现出丰盛的款待。所有篝火及灯火，一来为了吓走鬼魂，同时也为鬼魂照亮路线，引导其回归。

在中世纪的中欧，曾有过基-督教摧毁异教徒的历史。可是新年夜前的祭祀庆典从未真正消除，不过以巫术的形式出现。这也就是为什么我们现在的万圣节里，还留有巫婆的扫帚、黑猫、咒语等痕迹。

万圣节的由来英文版简短带中文 篇6

The Origin of Halloween 万圣节来历

Halloween roots lie in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain which was celebrated in what is now Great Britain on a full moon around November 1st. Later the Roman Catholic Church named this day as All Saints Day, formerly known as All Hallowmas. All Saints Day is known in England as All Hallows' Day. The evening before All Saints' Day is All Hallows' Eve, the origin of the American word Halloween.

万圣节起源于古代凯尔特人的萨温节(Samhain)，生活在英伦列岛的赛尔特人把11月1日左近的一个月圆日定为节日。后来罗马天主教会把这一天命名为万圣节，在英国被称为All Hallows Day（万圣节）。那么万圣“Hallow”加上前夜“een”就成为了Halloween这个美式表达。所以严格的说Halloween指的是万圣节前夜。

In Britain Halloween is celebrated on the 31st of October. However, it is not a public holiday. If the 31st of October falls on a weekday people go to work as normal. The typical colours of Halloween are orange and black, seen on items such as black vampires and pumpkin lanterns.

在英国人们的确是在10月31日这天庆祝万圣节。不过它不是公共假日。如果10月31日赶上工作日，那么人们将正常上班。万圣节的标志性色彩是橘黄和黑色，比如黑色吸血鬼和桔黄色南瓜灯等物品。
