30、en 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.
31、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.至于南瓜灯，至于南瓜灯，Jack-o-lantern，也有一个传说，吝啬的

33、呢？那么我去哪里呢？”JACK不知所措地问。不知所措地问。“哪儿来哪儿来的回哪儿去！的回哪儿去！”魔鬼恶狠狠地回答。回去的路冷风四起，魔鬼恶狠狠地回答。回去的路冷风四起，黑暗无边。魔鬼从地狱之火拣了一块烧得通红的火炭扔黑暗无边。魔鬼从地狱之火拣了一块烧得通红的火炭扔给他。为了照路又不被风吹灭，给他。为了照路又不被风吹灭，JACK将火炭放进了他将火炭放进了他手里拿着的大头菜中。手里拿着的大头菜中。JACK就这样举着他的就这样举着他的“灯笼灯笼”寻找自己在地球上的存身之处。后来苏格兰人模仿他，寻找自己在地球上的存身之处。后来苏格兰人模仿他，挖空大头菜，放入蜡烛做灯笼；爱尔兰人用大头菜也用挖空大头菜
34、，放入蜡烛做灯笼；爱尔兰人用大头菜也用土豆；英格兰人则用甜菜。后来他们移民到美国，发现土豆；英格兰人则用甜菜。后来他们移民到美国，发现了一个更好用的灯笼了一个更好用的灯笼南瓜灯！这个故事其实是在告南瓜灯！这个故事其实是在告戒人们，无论什么情形，都不要和魔鬼做交易。戒人们，无论什么情形，都不要和魔鬼做交易。在每年的在每年的11月月01日是西方传统的日是西方传统的“鬼节鬼节”万圣节。万圣节。10月月31日是万圣节前夕日是万圣节前夕.通常叫做万圣节前夜通常叫做万圣节前夜.不过这一天的气氛却不过这一天的气氛却远不像它的名称那样让人听上去就远不像它的名称那样让人听上去就“毛骨悚然毛骨悚然”。每当万圣节。
