All Hallows All Saints’ Day November 1 Trick or treat Halloween Parade(游行） 每年的１０月３１日为万圣节，它是西方国家的传统 节日。这一夜是一年中最“闹鬼”的一夜，所以也叫“鬼 节”。１０月３１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。 万圣节的一个有趣内容是“Trick or treat”，孩子们 提着南瓜灯笼挨家讨糖吃的。见面时，打扮成鬼精灵 模样的孩子们千篇一律地都要发出“不请吃就捣乱”的 威胁，而主人自然不敢怠慢，连声说“请吃！请吃！” 同时把糖果放进孩子们随身携带的大口袋里。 Dragon Boat Festival China Columbus Day USA National Festival India *
