Hello everyone, Welcome to WendyEnglishtimes, 欢迎来到Wendy的英语时光。英文话万圣，今天我们来聊聊万圣节的传统Traditions of Halloween。
Halloween is a traditional western festival, celebrated on October 31. It is also known as "All Hallow's Eve" and "All Saints' Day". The word "Halloween" comes from a Gaelic phrase meaning "night of the saints", referring to the time when the boundaries between the sacred and profane, the living and the dead, are believed to be particularly porous. Traditionally, Halloween began after sunset, and long ago, people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches, but these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.
万圣节是西方的传统节日，在10月31日庆祝。它也被称为“万圣节前夜”和“万灵节”。“万圣节”一词来自盖尔语，意思是“圣徒之夜”，这一天是神界与俗世、生者与逝者之间的界限被模糊的时候。传统上，万圣节是在日落之后开始的，很久以前，人们相信女巫会在万圣节聚集在一起，鬼魂会在世界游荡。如今，大多数人不再相信鬼魂和女巫，但这些超自然的存在仍然是万圣节的一部分。
Halloween's Origins
万圣节的起源
Halloween's origins can be traced back to ancient Celtic harvest festivals,called Samhain, in which the Celts ritually ended the summer harvest season and ushered in the winter season. Samhain was also believed to be a time when the veil between the living and the dead was particularly thin, allowing spirits and ghosts to crossover.
万圣节的起源可以追溯到古代凯尔特人的丰收节，称为萨温节，凯尔特人在这一天结束了夏季的收获季节，迎来了冬季。萨温节也被认为是生者和逝者间屏障最薄的时候，这使得灵魂和鬼魂能够穿越这道屏障。
When the Celts were Christianized, All Saints' Day was established on November 1st as a day to honor all saints and martyrs. The eve of this day became known as All Hallows' Eve, later anglicized to Halloween. Over time, Halloween's pagan roots were merged with Christian elements, resulting in a holiday that is both sacred and profane.
当凯尔特人被基督教化后，圣灵节被设立在11月1日，作为纪念所有圣徒和殉道者的日子。这一天的前夜被称为All Hallows' eve，后来被英语化为Halloween。随着时间的推移，万圣节的异教根源与基督教元素融合在一起，形成了一个既神圣又世俗的节日。
