Easter 复活节

          

  Spring is a time for new life. Flowers begin to bloom(v.盛开) after the long winter. Birds begin to build nests to lay their eggs in. In forests and fields, many animals have babies this time of year. Days begin to get longer and the sun gets warmer. People begin to enjoy the outdoors and all the beautiful weather of spring.

  The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians(n.基督徒), is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year, but it’s always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies (n.pl.糕饼;糖果) to one another to celebrate the day.

  But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection(n.复活) from the dead. The Bible tells about Jesus and His death and resurrection. Jesus died because of people’s sins(n.罪). But He rose again and gave forgiveness and new life to everyone who believes in Him. Isn’t that something to celebrate in spring?

  春天是新生命的季节.长冬过后,花朵开始盛开,鸟儿开始筑巢下蛋.在森林和田园中,许多动物都在一年的这个时候生育.白天逐渐变长,太阳逐渐变暖。人们开始享受户外活动和春天的美好气侯。

  春天最重要的节日,尤其对基督徒而言,就是复活节。这个基督教的节日,不见得每年都在同一天,但都是在星期日。从3月22日至4月25日之间的任何一个星期日都可能是复活节。许多人会买新衣来庆祝复活节,小孩子的庆祝方式则是寻找爹妈在家里四处藏好的彩蛋。人们也会互相赠送装满糖果和点心的复活节篮子,来庆祝这个节日。

  但这个节日的意义不仅限于新衣和好吃的东西。在复活节,许多人会上教堂庆祝耶酥死而复生。圣经中谈到耶酥,谈到他的死和复活。耶酥因人们的罪而死,可是他又复活了,赦免每一个相信他的人,并赐给他们新生命。这岂不是一件值得在春天庆祝的事吗?

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.

万圣节

关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人,因为他对钱特别吝啬,就不允许他进入天堂,而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦,所以被踢出地狱,罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。

  在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和罗卜制作“杰克的灯笼”,他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节,孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”,缩写为Jack-o'-lantern

现在拼写为jack-o-lantern。

  现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。在小学校里,万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。

Obon (盂兰盆)

Japan Floating paper lanterns in July

A traditional Buddhist festival which takes place throughout Japan around August 15. At this time, people visit their ancestors‘ graves, welcome the ancestors’ spirits home with food and offerings (祭品) and then see the spirits off.
