南瓜灯英文由来

用南瓜雕制南瓜灯也是一个万圣节传统，其历史也可追溯到爱尔兰。传说有一个名叫杰克的人非常吝啬，因而死后不能进入天堂，而且因为他取笑魔鬼也不能进入地狱，所以，他只能提着灯笼四处游荡，直到审判日那天。于是，杰克和南瓜灯便成了被诅咒的游魂的象征。

杰克南瓜灯也就是南瓜灯，是从爱尔兰开始。传说爱尔兰有一个名叫 Stingy Jack 的男子，有一天邀请恶魔喝酒，因为喝完后没钱付帐，他就说服恶魔变成六便士来付酒钱，可是Jack并没有拿它来付钱，反而用一条银纸把恶魔镇住，让它出不来。后来恶魔答应Jack一整年都不吓他，杰克才放魔鬼出来。第二年的万圣节恶魔又出现了，它又答应不会来骚扰Jack一年，可是一年还没过完，Jack就去世了。死后，天堂不收他，因为他非常吝啬；地狱也不留他，因为他戏弄恶魔。无处可归的他，最后只好不停的走着，并提着白萝卜，里面放着魔鬼给他的炭火来照亮路面，找一个地方来休息。后来爱尔兰人就用马铃薯或是大头菜做成灯笼，在1840年代随着新移民来到美洲大陆，他们发现比白萝卜更好的材料，那就是南瓜；因此现在所看到的杰克灯通常是南瓜做的了。另一个传说爱尔兰的民间传说。据说有一个名叫 Stingy Jack 的酒鬼，曾经设计将撒但骗上树，并在树干上刻了一个十字架，让撒但不敢下来，结果魔鬼和他达成协议，保证从此不再前来骚扰，才得以脱身。Jack 在死后，天堂和地狱都拒绝他进入。魔鬼给了他一小块灰烬，让他寻找一个适当的地方来休息，他便将这小块灰烬放在一个打了许多洞的白罗卜当中，好让它烧久一点。 后来苏格兰人便模仿他，挖空大头菜，放入蜡烛。爱尔兰人则是用马铃薯或是大头菜；英格兰则用甜菜。后来移民到了美国发现一个更好用的材料─南瓜。因此现在的杰克灯大都用南瓜做了。

关于南瓜灯（Jack-o'-lantern）的由来 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 municate with the spirits of the dead. 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. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors,probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night. Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween.The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash,and orange has bee 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!"

据传说有一个名叫杰克的人非常吝啬，因而死后不能进入天堂，而且因为他取笑魔鬼也不能进入地狱，所以，他只能提着灯笼四处游荡，直到审判日那天。于是，杰克和南瓜灯便成了被诅咒的游魂的象征。人们为了在万圣节前夜吓走这些游魂，便用芜菁、甜菜或马铃薯雕刻成可怕的面孔来代表提着灯笼的杰克，这就是南瓜灯的由来。
