万圣节 HALLOWEEN
　　One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money.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.
　　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.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.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 traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night.Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.
　　Children would make Halloween decorations,all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns.And from black paper you'd cut "scary" designs ---an evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick,maybe with black bats flying across the moon,and that meant bad luck.And of course black cats for more bad luck.Sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom.
　　And on Halloween night we'd dress up in Mom or Dad's old shoes and clothes,put on a mask,and be ready to go outside.The little kids (children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers,but we older ones went together to neighbors' houses,ringing their doorbell and yelling,"Trick or treat!" meaning,"Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!" The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes.
　　Oh!here's a ghost.Oh,there's a witch.Oh,here's an old lady.
　　Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch.But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our "trick or treat bags." But what if no one come to the door,or if someone chased us away?Then we'd play a trick on them,usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows..And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy.One popular teen-agers' Halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper.The paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off.No real harm done,but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it.One kind of Halloween mischief.
　　Lantern Festival is a China’s traditional festival.It is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year.Lantern Festival is one of the biggest holidays in China.Several days before Lantern Festival,people begin to make lanterns.Lanterns are made in the shape of different animals,vegetables,fruits and many,other things.While making lanterns people usually write riddles on lanterns.On the eve of Lantern Festival,all the lanterns are hung up.On Lantern Festival people go outside to have a look at the lanterns and guess the riddles on the lanterns.Perhaps you call see some wonderful folk performances,Dragon Dance and Yangko.Everything is very interesting and everyone is very happy.Our life is rich and varied.
　　元宵节是中国的一个传统节日.通常在阴历年的第一个月的第十五天庆祝.元宵节是中国最大的节日之一.在元宵节到来的几天前,人们就开始做灯笼,有的被做成动物,有的被做成蔬菜,有的被做成水果,各种样式都有.做灯笼时,人们通常在上面写上谜语.在元宵节前夜,所有的灯笼都被挂起来.在元宵节这天,人们都出来看灯笼和猜灯谜,也许你还能看见一些精彩的民间表演龙舞和秧歌.每件事都很有趣,每个人都很高兴,我们的生活丰富多彩.
