Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying on broomsticks with ghosts, goblins and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. Bats, owls and other nocturnal animals are also popular symbols of Halloween. They were originally feared because people believed that these creatures could communicate with the spirits of the dead.
萬(wàn)圣節起源于邪惡的精神與慶祝。騎著(zhù)掃帚的女巫、幽靈，小妖精和骷髏都是萬(wàn)圣節的標志物。蝙蝠，貓頭鷹和其他夜間活動(dòng)的動(dòng)物也是萬(wàn)圣節的普遍標志。他們原本擔心因為人們認為這些動(dòng)物能和死者的靈魂進(jìn)行交流。
Black cats are also symbols of Halloween and have religious origins as well. Black cats were considered to be reincarnated beings with the ability to divine the future. During the Middle Ages it was believed that witches could turn themselves into black cats. Thus when such a cat was seen, it was considered to be a witch in disguise. All these are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows.
黑貓也是萬(wàn)圣節的標志物，并且也有一定的宗教起源。人們認為黑貓轉世的人與神的未來(lái)的能力。在中世紀，人們相信女巫可以變成黑貓。因此，當看到這樣的貓，它被認為是一種變相的女巫。這些都是流行trick-or-treat服飾和裝飾品賀卡和窗口。
Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night.
黑色是傳統的萬(wàn)圣節顏色，這可能是因為萬(wàn)圣節前夜的傳統發(fā)生在夜間。
Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color. Carving pumpkins into jack- o'-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland. A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser. He couldn't enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil. As a result, Jack had to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day. So Jack and his lantern became the symbol of a lost or damned soul. To scare these souls away on Halloween, the Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips, beets or potatoes representing "Jack of the Lantern," or Jack-o-lantern. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips. Today jack-o-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies waiting if they knock and say "Trick or Treat!"
南瓜也是萬(wàn)圣節的標志性象征。南瓜是橘黃色的，和橘黃色也成了傳統的萬(wàn)圣節的顏色。南瓜刻成杰克- O的燈是萬(wàn)圣節的風(fēng)俗可以追溯到愛(ài)爾蘭。傳說(shuō)有一個(gè)名叫杰克的人非常吝嗇，不允許他進(jìn)入天堂，當他死了，因為他是個(gè)吝嗇鬼。他不能進(jìn)入地獄，因為他捉弄魔鬼。作為一個(gè)結果，杰克不得不提著(zhù)燈籠四處游蕩，直到審判日。杰克和他的燈籠成為丟失或被詛咒的靈魂的象征。為了在萬(wàn)圣節前夜嚇走這些游魂，愛(ài)爾蘭人雕刻成可怕的面孔的蘿卜，甜菜或馬鈴薯為代表的“杰克的燈籠，”或南瓜燈。當愛(ài)爾蘭人遷到美國后，他們對南瓜雕刻的面孔，因為在秋天，他們比蕪菁更豐富。在窗戶(hù)上今天的南瓜燈在萬(wàn)圣節的晚上，讓兒童知道有好吃的東西，如果他們敲門(mén)說(shuō)“不給糖就搗蛋的等待!”
