万圣节英文介绍万圣节（Halloween），也被称为诸圣节，是西方的传统节日，每年的 11 月 1 日举行。
然而，万圣节前夜（Halloween Eve），即 10 月 31 日晚上，才是这个节日最热闹的时刻。
万圣节的起源可以追溯到古代凯尔特人的萨温节（Samhain）。
在古代凯尔特人的信仰中，10 月 31 日标志着夏季的结束和冬季的开始，也被认为是生死界限最模糊的一天。
他们相信，在这一天，亡灵会回到人间，寻找生者的身体来附身，从而获得重生。
为了避免被恶灵附身，凯尔特人会戴上恐怖的面具，装扮成妖魔鬼怪的样子，试图吓走恶灵。
随着时间的推移，基督教传入了欧洲。
为了将这个异教节日纳入基督教的范畴，教会将 11 月 1 日定为诸圣节（All Saints' Day），以纪念所有的圣徒。
而万圣节前夜则保留了其神秘和恐怖的元素，并逐渐演变成了今天我们所熟知的万圣节。
在现代社会，万圣节已经成为了一个充满欢乐和创意的节日，尤其受到孩子们和年轻人的喜爱。
在这一天，人们会精心装扮自己，穿上各种奇特的服装，如吸血鬼、女巫、僵尸、骷髅等等。
这些服装通常都十分逼真，配上化妆效果，让人仿佛置身于一个恐怖的世界。
除了装扮，万圣节还有许多独特的活动。
“不给糖就捣蛋”（Trick or Treat）是最受欢迎的活动之一。
孩子们会成群结队地挨家挨户敲门，大声喊出“不给糖就捣蛋”的口号。
如果主人家给了他们糖果，他们就会开心地离开；如果没有，孩子们可能会小小的恶作剧一番。
这个活动不仅让孩子们感受到了节日的欢乐，也增进了邻里之间的互动和交流。
另一个常见的活动是制作南瓜灯（Jacko'lantern）。
南瓜是万圣节的象征之一，人们会将南瓜内部掏空，雕刻出各种恐怖的面孔，然后在里面放上蜡烛，使其在夜晚发出诡异的光芒。
制作南瓜灯不仅需要创意，还需要一定的手工技巧，是一项非常有趣的活动。
此外，还有一些地方会举办万圣节游行（Halloween Parade）。

西方传统节日英文翻译
1、Christmas（圣诞节）
圣诞节（Christmas）又称耶诞节，译名为“基督弥撒”，它源自古罗马人迎接新年的农神节，与基督教本无关系。
在基督教盛行罗马帝国后，教廷随波逐流地将这种民俗节日纳入基督教体系，同时以庆祝耶稣的降生。
但在圣诞节这天不是耶稣的生辰，因为《圣经》未有记载耶稣具体生于哪天，同样没提到过有此种节日，是基督教吸收了古罗马神话的结果。
2、Easter Day（复活节）
复活节（主复活日）是一个西方的重要节日，在每年春分月圆之后第一个星期日。

3、情人节Valentine's DayThe history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with thisancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first valentine greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed From your Valentine, an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.情人节的历史充满了神秘，但是我们知道，很久以来，2月就是一个浪漫的月份了。
情人节既留有基督教的痕迹，又有古罗马的传统。
情人节又称圣瓦伦丁节。
关于情人节有好多传说。
其中之一是，3世纪的时候，古罗马的皇帝Claudius 二世认为独身的男子比有妻子、家庭的男子更善于打仗，于是他宣布婚姻是非法的，这也断绝了士兵的来源。
牧师Valentine意识到这条法令的谬误，就公开反对，并且秘密为青年人主持婚礼。
Claudius二世知道后就把Valentine处死了。
4、父亲节Fathers' DayIn the 1900s, Fathers’Day was created when Sonora Louise Smart Dodd wanted to express her deep appreciation to her own father, William Smart, who was widowed when his wife died at giving birth. Mr. Smart raised his six children on a rural farm in eastern Washington State. When Ms. Dodd was grown she wanted to show her appreciation to her father. So, in 1909, she proposed a day to honor her father in June (the month of her father's birth).The very first Fathers' Day followed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge showed support of this becoming a national holiday. However, it wasn't until 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson officially proclaimed Fathers' Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of June.二十世纪初，苏娜·路易丝·史墨·多德想要向他的父亲威廉·史墨表达敬意，于是产生了父亲节。
