It was the first day of our summer holiday. All of us were very happy. Why?

Because we have one months to do things we love to do. We are free.Although we

have some homework. But we can finish them in several days. And the rest time we

can make good use of. My god! We have been very tired after hard studying. In

winter holidays, I want to have full sleepand eat good food in order to

replenish myself. Last but not the least, I will have a good rest.

People will be the envy of the sky eagle, but never thought it a thousand

times to practice hard; people were envious of butterfly flowers, but do not

have to pay attention to it once as a caterpillar suffering; people are jealous

of those celebrities, those scientists, those successful people, but never

thought they have too much to pay behind the hardships and sweat, experienced

many setbacks.

difficulties, the vast expanse of the thorns, I will not retreat. Because I

know, success is built on the basis of failure and sharpening.

People always believe that when there is pressure, there is motivation, it

seems that pressure equals motivation. We need pressure, it makes us keep move

on, with pressure, we know what to do and how to fulfill our targets. Without

pressure, we are just like a child, never grow up, having no idea of

responsibility. It is pressure that makes us become mature, we should have

pressure, it indeed equals motivation at the certain level. While having too

much pressure is bad for our mind, it is just like a burden that presses our

mind, making people hard to take a breath. Nowadays the case of people commit

suicide is increasing, the reason is that people can’t take a breath from much

pressure, they feel there is no hope in life, no matter what they do, life just

frustrates them. We should have the right attitude towards pressure.

Children in costumes race from house to house asking for treats. A carved pumpkin, called a jack-o-lantern, grins from a porch as the children pass. According to legend, jack-o-lanterns protect people in their homes from ghostly spirits.

Its all part of the fun on Halloween! The roots of Halloween stretch back thousands of years and borrow customs from several parts of the world.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition, Halloween begins after sunset. 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.

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.

Dressing in masks and costumes is a popular Halloween activity. Costumes can be traditional and scary, such as a witchs pointy hat and black gown. Costumes may also have a modern flavor. Many children dress up as movie characters or a favorite superhero.

But Halloween is not just for children. Many adults enjoy showing off their costumes at Halloween parties!

Once in costume, children go from house to house saying Trick or treat! In the past, children might play a trick on people who did not give treats. They might pelt houses with eggs or old tomatoes, or play other pranks. Today, childrens cries of Trick or treat! are usually rewarded with candy.

One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts, who lived in western and central Europe long ago. The Celts celebrated a holiday

y called Sa amhain on October 31. After sunset that day, people believed that spirits of the dead would rise and walk the earth. The Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.

Beginning about 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire conquered many Celtic peoples. But Celtic traditions, including Samhain, remained strong in areas such as Ireland and Scotland, even after the Roman conquest.

The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain in 835 with All Saints Day, a day to honor saints of the Church. The eve of All Saints Day is October 31. It is called Allhallows or Hallowmas by the Church.

Halloween first came to America with early settlers from Celtic areas in Europe, such as Ireland and Scotland. But other American settlers with strict religious beliefs, including the Puritans from England, rejected Halloween. The arrival of many Irish immigrants during the 1800s helped spread Halloweens popularity.

But by the late 1800s, fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.

The legend of the origin of Halloween, there are many versions, the most common view, that is before the birth of Christ from the Medieval Western Europe countries, including Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

寒假预示春节，春节代表新的一年，新的一年，有期盼，有欢乐，有嬉闹……于是，火红的春联便挂起来了。

Winter spring festival Spring Festival indicates, on behalf of the new year, new year, hope, joy, a frolic...... So, red couplets and hanging up.

我喜欢除夕，不仅因为全家人可以欢聚一堂，可以吃饺子，可以放烟花，可以看春晚，更多的是我可以贴春联。从小，每年我就牵着母亲的手，将那红红的春联齐心协力贴在大门两侧，让整个家中有了新感觉，有了新气象。不管外面的风雪再怎么严寒，袭人，我都会与母亲相视一笑，我们的心中早已装满了温暖。

I like New Years Eve, not only because the whole family can gather together, can eat dumplings, can put the fireworks, can watch the Spring Festival Gala, the more I can put up Spring Festival couplets. Since childhood, every year I took the mothers hand, the red couplets on both sides work together on the door, let the whole family has a new feeling, a new weather. No matter what the outside snow again how cold, night, I will be with the mother with a smile, had our hearts full of warmth.

今年，我与母亲又开始了这欢乐的行动，三下五除二，我搬来了凳子，拿出了早已买好的一大卷粗胶带，剪刀。把那抱有对新年期盼的春联小心翼翼的拿了出来，便一切妥当了。我们很快便做好了准备，开始做起了这忙碌而又欢乐的活动。

This year, my mother and I began this fun action, neat and quick, I moved to a stool, took out a large thick adhesive tape already bought, scissors. Put the New Year couplets with great care to look forward to have taken it out, then everything is in order. We soon ready, start this busy and happy activities.

寒风一点儿也不怜香惜玉，如一头迅猛的狮子，嚎叫着，翻滚着。把那如尖刀般的风打在了我和母亲的脸颊上，怪疼的。我与母亲就跺跺脚，，搓搓手，便不去管它，真弄了寒风一个自讨没趣。春联在妈妈手中服服帖贴地挺直了它的腰肢，妈妈拿笤帚一扫，崭新靓丽的春联展现在眼前。我便拿起胶带，小心翼翼的把它粘好，生怕不小心弄扯它的衣裳。那一刻，我好像可以听到我与母亲的呼吸声，外面人们的嘈杂声。“贴完了!”可额头上早已滴下了紧张的汗珠，呼吸也早已急促起来。

The wind is not a little tenderness toward woman, such as a rapid lion, howling, tumbling. The wind like a knife like playing in I and mother on the cheek, strange pain. I and my mother would stomp,, rubbed his hands, then let it go, really got wind of a bring contempt upon oneself. Spring Festival couplets in my mothers hands docile and affixed to erect its waist, mother took the broom sweep, brand-new beautiful Spring Festival couplets displayed in front of us. I will pick up the tape, carefully pasted it, for fear of accidentally pull his clothes. At that moment, I seem to can hear my mother and I breath, people outside noise. "Paste finished!" Can the forehead already dropping the nervous sweat, breath has also quickened.

经过我与母亲天衣无缝的配合，这副春联总算贴完了。看着新的气象，我不由得在心中又升腾起了那种难得的满足感，站得远远的，我好像又听到了欢笑声，听到了嬉闹声，听到了新的一年人们难得的期盼声。

After I and the mother of seamless, this pair of couplets finally end. Looking at the new weather, I couldnt help in the heart and rising up the kind of rare satisfaction, standing afar off, I seemed to hear the sound of laughter, heard playing sound, heard the new year people rarely expect sound.

听说微博是个新鲜玩意儿，我也去弄一个来。注册时，系统让我输用户名，我以为是自己新浪的邮箱就输了进去。

某日下午，同学打电话给我，问我的微博名是什么。我愣了一下，不知他问的是哪个名。我只好说：“我先查一下，等一会儿告诉你。”

来到电脑桌前，迅速打开电脑，上微博一看，我惊呆了。我的名字竟成了邮箱名。我当机立断，改!便拿起鼠标点击那按钮。一下子跳出一个大白框，问我想要什么名字，下面还有填一大堆。我想了大半天，还是没想出中意的名字。但转念一想，有趣又有什么用呢?一旦想不起来不就泡汤了。

“嗯，‘忘记了’是个不错的选择。”我自言自语着。但是，这些不用记忆的名字都已经被人抢注了，怎么办呢?我只好在名字里加字，减字。我试了十几分钟，终于弄出一个名字，叫“我真的真的忘记了”。嘿嘿，这下不会忘了。我忙打给我的同学，告诉他这个新微博名。

万圣节是西方国家的节日，传说在万圣节那天，会有鬼。所以很多人在家里制作了南瓜头，晚上来吓唬别人;还有小孩在别人家敲门说着：不给糖就捣乱;还有人用电子邮箱发贺卡来祝福……

万圣节是在十一月一日。在西方的国家，一片热闹：

一个叫红红的小女孩正在跟着一群小伙伴们一起到别人家敲门，口里念着：不给糖就捣乱，快给糖果，不然我真的要捣乱啦。那个人的家打开了门，给了小朋友们糖果，嘴里微笑着说：给你们糖果吃，不要捣乱哦，快走吧，去别人家好好地玩，祝你们快乐。红红和小伙伴们到另外一个要糖果吃，嘴里还吃着香香的糖果，对那个叔叔说：不给糖就捣乱，给糖果吃，不然我们就要捣乱哦。可是那个叔叔非但没有给他们糖吃，还骂了他们一顿：“去去去，你们别来捣乱，别去我家要糖果，你们快点滚出去，去别人家要糖果，别到这儿来。”红红和小伙伴们哭了，垂头丧气的走到另一家，“啊!有鬼啊!”“别怕是我。”一个戴着南瓜头的叔叔说道，原来是你啊，小伙伴们和红红红惊呆了，这位吓唬我们的叔叔竟然是不给我们糖的叔叔，那位叔叔见伙伴们和红红很惊讶，解释道：“大家不用怕我，我只是逗你们玩的，来来来，叔叔给你们糖果吃。”小伙伴和红红领了糖果，嘴里一片欢笑。

万圣节虽然有时又会被别人吓，但也可以要糖果吃。

Im Oktober ist Hochsaison für Hexen, Gespenster, Geister und alle, die sich gerne Gruseln, denn am 31. Oktober ist Halloween.

十月是女巫，幽灵，鬼魂和一切让人不寒而栗的东西出现的旺季，因为10月31日是万圣节。

Ursprünglich, vor Hunderten von Jahren, war Halloween ein Herbstfest der Druiden im alten England. Es sei die einzige Nacht des Jahres, so glaubten die Menschen damals, in der Hexen und Geister leibhaftig auf der Erde herumspukten.

起初在几百年前，万圣节在古英格兰对巫师们来说是秋天节。那时人们认为，这一天晚上是一年当中唯一一个女巫和鬼魂真的来到人间到处作祟的夜晚。

Fast jedes Kind weiß, dass Halloween etwas mit Gespenstern, Hexen und Verkleiden zu tun hat, aber kaum jemand hat eine Ahnung, was es mit dem Fest ‚Halloween’ nun wirklich auf sich hat.

几乎每个孩子都知道，万圣节与幽灵，女巫和化装有关，但是几乎没有一个人知道，万圣节这个节日究竟因何而来。

Schon vor über 2000 Jahren feierten die Kelten im alten England (heute sagen wir Großbritannien dazu) zum Ende des Sommers ein großes Fest – damals hieß es noch ‚Samhain’. Der 31. Oktober war bei den Kelten der letzte Tag des Jahres, denn sie hatten einen anderen Kalender als wir heute. Der Sommer wurde mit großen Feuern verabschiedet und gleichzeitig der Winter begrüßt. Die Menschen bedankten sich bei ihrem Sonnengott (mit Namen ‚Samhain’) für die Ernte, die sie in der warmen Jahreszeit eingebracht hatten und gedachten an diesem Tag auch der Seelen der Verstorbenen. Der Sonnengott wurde nun, zu Beginn der dunklen Winterzeit von dem keltischen Gott der Toten, abgelöst.

早在两千多年前，古英格兰(今天的大不列颠)的克勒特人在夏季结束时会进行一场盛大的节日庆祝——那时这个节日叫做“萨温节”。对于克勒特人来说，10月31日是一年的最后一天，因为他们使用的年历与我们今天的不同。人们燃起大火告别夏季，同时欢迎冬季的到来。他们向太阳神(名字为“Samhain”)表示感谢，感谢其赐予的温暖季节带来丰收，同时也在这一天悼念逝者的亡灵。而后太阳神就在阴暗的冬天开始之时被克勒特人的死亡之神所替代。

Die Kelten glaubten fest daran, dass die Seelen der Verstorbenen in der Nacht vom 31. Oktober als Geister auf die Erde zurückkommen, um in ihre Häuser zurückzukehren. Aber was war mit den Geistern und heimatlosen Seelen, die trotz der großen Feuer, die am Wegesrand entfacht wurden, den Weg nicht fanden und verzweifelt umherirrten? Von ihnen war nichts Gutes zu erwarten, sie spukten durch die Nacht, erschreckten friedliche Menschen und trieben ihr Unwesen mit ihnen.

克勒特人坚信，逝者的亡灵在10月31日会变成鬼魂来到人间，回到自己家中。但是那些即使在路边点着旺火却也找不到路而绝望地四处乱走的鬼魂和无家可归的亡灵怎么办呢?别指望他们做什么好事，他们会整晚捣乱作祟，惊吓平和中的人们，到处胡作非为。

Einige Jahrhunderte später, ungefähr 800 Jahre n. Chr., ernannte der Papst den 1. November, also den Tag nach dem 31. Oktober, zum Feiertag ‚Allerheiligen’, an dem der christlichen Märtyrer gedacht wurde. Aus dem Samhain- Fest wurde im Laufe der Zeit ‚das Fest am Vorabend zu Allerheiligen’, und das heißt auf englisch ‚All Hallows’ Evening’ oder abgekürzt ‚Hallows’ E’en’. Inzwischen sagen wir Halloween.

几百年后，大约公元800年的时候，罗马教皇将11月1日，也就是10月31日后一天，作为“万圣”之节，在这一天人们会怀念基督教的烈士。随着时间的推移，英国人根据萨温节就把11月1日的前夜变成了庆祝万圣的节日，而英语里万圣夜称作“All Hallows’ Evening”，简称Hallows’ E’en。渐渐地我们就把万圣节叫做了Halloween。

Obwohl das Samhain-Fest schon so lange her ist, verkleiden sich die Kinder heute noch als gruselige Gestalten, wie Gespenster, Hexen, Zauberer oder Vampire, um Geister abzuschrecken. Und das ist auch gut so – denn wer weiß denn schon genau, ob die Kelten im alten England nicht doch recht hatten......?

虽然萨温节已如此古老，今天的孩子们还会装扮成毛骨悚然的形象，像是幽灵，女巫，男巫或是吸血鬼去吓退鬼魂。不过这样也不错——谁又清楚地知道，古英格兰的克勒特人是不是有道理呢?

万圣节总是在10月31日。这是一个属于孩子们的节日。在那天，孩子们总是穿奇装异服而且带上面具。然后，他们会挨家挨户地说“不招待就使坏”，所以人们都会用糖果招待他们。如果他们不接受糖果，他们就会对人们恶作剧。但有时，如果人们外出了，而孩子们来了，他们会把糖果放在雕刻好的南瓜灯笼里。孩子们会自己拿糖果。所有的孩子都很享受这个节日。

The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.

One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.

Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.

Probably a better explanation of why the Celts extinguished their fires was not to discourage spirit possession, but so that all the Celtic tribes could relight their fires from a common source, the Druidic fire that was kept burning in the Middle of Ireland, at Usinach.

Some accounts tell of how the Celts would burn someone at the stake who was thought to have already been possessed, as sort of a lesson to the spirits. Other accounts of Celtic history debunk these stories as myth.

The Romans adopted the Celtic practices as their own. But in the first century AD, Samhain was assimilated into celebrations of some of the other Roman traditions that took place in October, such as their day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple, which might explain the origin of our modern tradition of bobbing for apples on Halloween.

The thrust of the practices also changed over time to become more ritualized. As belief in spirit possession waned, the practice of dressing up like hobgoblins, ghosts, and witches took on a more ceremonial role.

The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants fleeing their countrys potato famine. At that time, the favorite pranks in New England included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates.

The custom of trick-or-treating is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called souling. On November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a souls passage to heaven.

The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the trees trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree.

According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

The Irish used turnips as their "Jacks lanterns" originally. But when the immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern in America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.

So, although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices. It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year, and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans. And today, even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids. After all, the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.
