114 年 10 月 21 日節慶英文廣播重點摘錄

A long time ago, people in Ireland and Scotland celebrated a festival
called “ Samhain ” on November 1st. People believed that evil spirits
came out on the night before — All Hallows’ Eve. To scare them
away, people wore costumes and made loud noises.
That’s how October 31st became Halloween.
很久以前,在愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭,人們在 11 月 1 日 慶祝㇐個叫「夏末節(Samhain)」
的節日。人們相信在前㇐晚(10 月 31 日),也就是「諸聖日前夕(All Hallows’
Eve)」,會有惡靈出現。為了把它們嚇走,人們會穿上服裝、發出大聲響。
於是 10 月 31 日 就成了 萬聖節(Halloween)。

Now, people celebrate Halloween with fun outfits, candy, and
pumpkins. Children go trick-or-treating and carve Jack-o’-lanterns.
現在,人們會穿上有趣的裝扮、拿糖果、雕刻南瓜燈,開心地慶祝萬聖節!
