One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into He**en 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 Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip,hollowed out with the sides h**ing 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 childrens fun night.Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.
　　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,因为他对钱特别的吝啬,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**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萝卜制作“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 .
　　现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚.
