聲音1:萬圣節的傳統歷史悠久。實際上,研究歷史的歷史學家認為,萬圣節的傳統始于2500年前。他們認為這些傳統起源于古愛爾蘭的凱爾特人。
Voice 2: The Celts had two seasons - summer and winter. The bright half of the year was summer. And the dark half was winter. They believed that the bright half of the year ended around October thirty-one. After this day, came the beginning of the winter season. The Celtic people called this change in season Samhain, which means the 'end of summer.'
聲音2:凱爾特人有兩個季節:夏季和冬季。光亮的半年是夏季,黑暗的半年是冬季。他們認為,光亮的半年在10月31日前后結束。那天之后便是冬季的開始。凱爾特人將這種季節的變換稱為薩溫節,意指“夏季的結束”。
