万圣节的来历（英文版）：

The first of these traditions came from a tribe of warriors who lived on the British Isles.They were known as the Celts and they celebrated a holiday known as Samhain.This is the Gaelic word for November.Samhain was celebrated at the end of October just as we celebrate Halloween.

第一种传统来自一个住在不列颠群岛上的战士部落。他们是我们所知的凯尔特人，庆祝的节日叫萨温节。“萨温”在盖尔语里意味着“十一月”。十月末，凯尔特人庆祝萨温节，就像我们欢度万圣节前夜一样。

The Celts believed that on this night those who had died in the previous year could walk the earth once more.To appease these spirits, the Celts would parade to the edge of their village with offerings, trying to encourage the spirits to stay away from their homes.They would also leave food and drinks outside as gifts for the dead.

凯尔特人认为之前去世的人们可以在这个夜晚再一次走回人间。为了安抚这些亡灵，凯尔特人会带着祭品，列队前进到村庄的边缘，努力劝说亡灵远离他们的家园。他们也会把食物和酒水留在外头，作为给死者的礼物。
