    • 12. Because bats only fly at night and live in tombs, caves, and abandoned churches and buildings, they are believed to be omens of evil. They are commonly associated with witches and vampires. It is superstition that witches and vampires can take the form of a bat. Since the vampire bat is the only mammal that feeds on blood, they are often linked to death and occult rituals.蝙蝠是其中一项,因为蝙蝠只住在坟墓,洞穴和废弃的教堂或建筑物中,又因为蝙蝠常令人联想到女巫或吸血鬼,因此他们被视为邪恶的象征。在传说中,女巫和吸血鬼可以化身成蝙蝠,又因为吸血蝙蝠是唯一一种饮血维生的哺乳类动物,因此蝙蝠常让人联想到死亡或邪恶的仪式。BATS

    • 21. Trick or treating不给糖就捣蛋的游戏起源于要灵魂饼干的习俗,所谓的灵魂饼干就是将烤好的饼干祭祀过世的人。后来,基督教会鼓励贫穷的人在收获的季节里挨家挨户地乞求食物,若是得到食物,这些穷人就会帮这家庭中过世的人祈祷以谢谢他们。  
    • 22. They play trick-or-treat万圣节前夕,孩子们会提着南瓜灯,穿着各式各样的稀奇古怪的服装,挨家挨户地去索要糖果,不停地说:“trick or treat."(意思是给不给,不给就捣蛋)要是你不肯给糖果的话,孩子们就会很生气,用各种方法去惩罚你,例如:把垃圾倒在你家里等等的方法去惩罚你,直到你肯给他们糖果为止。
    • 23. 而穷人们对那些吝啬不给食物的人通常会以恶作剧来惩罚他们,或是诅咒他们下一年都会厄运缠身。大部分人都认为不给糖就捣蛋是起源于恶作剧之夜和要灵魂饼干 (going-a-souling) 的习俗。
    • 24. Pumpkin Carving南瓜灯源于古代爱尔兰。传说一个名叫JACK的人,是个醉汉且爱恶作剧。一天JACK把恶魔骗上了树,随即在树桩上刻了个十字,恐吓恶魔令他不敢下来,然后JACK就与恶魔约法三章,让恶魔答应施法让JACK永远不会犯罪为条件让他下树。JACK死后,其灵魂却既不能上天堂又不能下地狱,于是他的亡灵只好靠一根小蜡烛照着指引他在天地之间倘佯。
    • 25. 在古老的爱尔兰传说里,这根小蜡烛是在一根挖空的萝卜里放着,称作“JACK LANTERNS”,而古老的萝卜灯演变到今天,则是南瓜做的了。据说爱尔兰人到了美国不久,即发现南瓜不论从来源和雕刻来说都比萝卜胜一筹,于是南瓜就成了万圣节的宠物。
