兒童雙語故事Holloween萬聖節

　　One story about Jack，an Irishman，who was not allowed into Heaven because he wasstingy with his money.

　　關於萬聖節有這樣一個故事。是說有一個叫傑克的愛爾蘭人，因為他對錢特別的吝嗇，就不允許他進入天堂，而被打入地獄。

　　So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil ***Satan***， so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

　　但是在那裡他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地獄，罰他提著燈籠永遠在人世裡行走。

　　Well，Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip， hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside.

　　在十月三十一日愛爾蘭的孩子們用土豆和蘿蔔製作“傑克的燈籠”，他們把中間挖掉、表面上打洞並在裡邊點上蠟燭。

　　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.

　　]為村裡慶祝督伊德神的萬聖節，孩子們提著這種燈籠挨家挨戶乞討食物。

　　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 traditionalHalloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night.

　　這種燈籠的愛爾蘭名字是“拿燈籠的傑克”或者“傑克的燈籠”，縮寫為Jack-o'-lantern 。現在你在大多數書裡讀到的萬聖節只是孩子們開心的夜晚。

　　Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

　　在小學校裡，萬聖節是每年十月份開始慶祝的。
