关于万圣节的资料英文关于万圣节的资料英文Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means “holy evening,“ and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means “Jack of the lantern“.The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,“Trick or treat! Money or eat!“ The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.After carving your pumpkin, separate the pulp from the seeds. Rinse(冲洗)the seeds and spread them out to dry. The next day, add enough melted butter or margarine(人造黄油)to coat each seed. Spread the seeds onto a cookie sheet(甜酥饼干)and bake for 20 minutes in a 300 degree oven for 20 minutes or until they are slightly brown.Take the paper wrapping off about 100 caramels(饴糖)and put them in a saucepan(炖锅). Put the saucepan over a pan of boiling water. Boil the water until the caramels melt. Put a wooden stick into the top of each apple, dip the apple into the caramel. Let them cool on wax paper and enjoy!No Halloween party is complete without at least one scary story. Usually one person talks in a lowvoice while everyone else crowds together on the floor or around a fire. The following is a retelling of a tale told in Britain and in North Carolina and Virginia.“What Do You Come For?“There was an old woman who lived all by herself, and she was very lonely. Sitting in the kitchen one night, she said, “Oh, I wish I had some company.“No sooner had she spoken than down the chimney tumbled two feet from which the flesh had rotted. The old womans eyes bulged with terror.Then two legs dropped to the hearth and attached themselves to the feet.Then a body tumbled down, then two arms, and a mans head.As the old woman watched, the parts came together into a great, tall man. The man danced around and around the room. Faster and faster he went. Then he stopped, and he looked into her eyes.“What do you come for? she asked in a small voice that shivered and shook.“What do I come for?“ he said. “I come for YOU!“The narrator shouts and jumps at the person near him
