啦啦啦，万圣节要到了，小伙伴们是不是快要控制不住体内的洪荒之力，已经为节日准备好了各种活动呢？不过今天我们撇开“Trick or Treat”、“南瓜灯”、“cosplay”这些传统节目不谈，小编想带大家看点不一样的，从背景方面对这个“西洋节日”作一点介绍。下面请随小编一起阅读下面这篇双语小文章吧~故事开始前，我们先来纠正一个认识误区。很多人也许会错误地将10月31日的万圣夜误当成万圣节，其实真正的万圣节是每年的11月1日。人们为了迎接万圣节的到来，往往选在10月31日的晚上（也就是万圣夜）组织各色庆祝活动，类似于庆祝圣诞节前的平安夜和春节前的除夕夜。Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.万圣节文化可以追溯到德鲁伊教，这是一种爱尔兰、北欧和英国的凯尔特文化，根植于Samhain节的庆祝活动。Samhain节为每年10月31日，目的是纪念逝者。Samhain signifies “summers end” or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.Samhain节象征夏天的结束与十一月的到来，是一个丰收的节日。在Samhain节人们会燃起神圣巨大的篝火，标志着凯尔特一年的结束和新一年的开始。该节日的有些庆祝活动是出于迷信。The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next year’s crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.凯尔特人相信死者的灵魂会在夜里出没。他们认为并非所有的灵魂都是友善的，所以就把礼物和好吃的留在外面，以安慰恶灵，好确保来年的庄稼可以丰收。这种习俗后来演变成了trick-or-treating。好啦，科普结束，现在是自由讨论时间。不知大家都安排了什么活动？小编认为，“鬼节”当然还是和“鬼片”最配！下面推荐两部小编私藏的僵尸爱情片，希望可以伴大家度过一个“浪漫”的万圣节。Warm Bodies is the perfect Halloween movie for hopeless romantics! In it, Nicholas Hoult, plays an unusual zombie who saves a living girl instead of eating her and their budding relationship might just be what it takes to bring some life back into their post-apocalyptic world!僵尸版《暮光之城》，讲述了一段人类少女和僵尸少年之间的禁忌之恋。这段感情浪漫得无可救药，同时阻挡了世界末日。Somehow, the young (and alive!) Victor Van Dort ends up marrying not his intended bride-to-be, but the Corpse Bride, a skeletal woman who also happens to be dead. Now Victor has to make a choice between his new Corpse Bride and his once-fiancé, Victoria. Oh, the drama!一部于2005年上映的人偶动画电影，由约翰尼·德普，海伦娜·伯翰·卡特等好莱坞知名演员献声配音。恐怖元素与爱情故事的结合，相信会给你带来别样的体验。在这场爱情的角力中，美丽的未婚妻维多利亚与僵尸少女艾米丽，究竟谁会是男主人公维克特最终的选择呢？请大家在电影中寻找答案吧！你的万圣节打算怎么过？欢迎在评论区晒出你的“节目单”~
