10、ftertheDevilpromisednottobotherJackor,shouldhedie,claimhissoul.万圣节刻杰克南瓜灯的习俗已经有几世纪的历史了。为什么要取名为杰克呢?在爱尔兰人的传说中有个有名的小气杰克。有一天小气杰克请魔鬼喝酒,喝完后,小气杰克却小气地不想付钱,所以他就骗魔鬼,要魔鬼把自己变成一枚硬币,魔鬼变成硬币后,小气杰克迅速地把硬币放在口袋里,和十字架放在一起,以防魔鬼变回原形。之后,魔鬼对小气杰克发誓,他绝对不会对小气杰克报仇,也保证杰克死了也不会让他下地狱。这时,小气杰克才让魔鬼变回原形。Eventually,when Jack did die,God

13、dern day Halloween celebrations use many symbols to help make the holiday more interestingSome of these include现代人用许多东西来庆祝万圣节,让这个节日变得更有趣。你知道是哪些东西吗?蝙蝠是其中一项,因为蝙蝠只住在坟墓,洞穴和废弃的教堂或建筑物中,又因为蝙蝠常令人联想到女巫或吸血鬼,因此他们被视为邪恶的象征。在传说中,女巫和吸血鬼可以化身成蝙蝠,又因为吸血蝙蝠是唯一一种饮血维生的哺乳类动物,因此蝙蝠常让人联想到死亡或邪恶的仪式。BATSBecausebatsonlyflyatnight

15、下好咒语和坏咒语,人们相信女巫们的能力在10月31日这天会最强,所以让很多人很害怕她们。几世纪以来,女巫的形象改变许多,以前人们认为,女巫都是绿皮肤,长的很老,脸上布满皱纹。现在则很多人认为女巫的能力可以是邪恶或具有智慧的。Witcheswerethoughttobetellersoffortuneandtocastspells,bothgoodandbad.ThisfrightenedmanybecauseitwasbelievedthatthesepowerswerethestrongestonHalloweennight.Theimageofawitchhaschangedgreatly
