1. CARVING HALLOWEEN JACK-O'-LANTERNS
雕刻万圣节南瓜灯
Jack-O'-Lanterns, which originated in Ireland using turnips instead of pumpkins, are supposedly based on a legend about a man named Stingy Jack who repeatedly trapped the Devil and only let him go on the condition that Jack would never go to Hell. When he died, however, Jack learned that Heaven didn’t really want his soul either, so he was condemned to wander the Earth as a ghost for all eternity. The Devil gave Jack a lump of burning coal in a carved-out turnip to light his way. Eventually, locals began carving frightening faces into their own gourds to scare off evil spirits.
南瓜灯起源于爱尔兰,最开始是由萝卜雕的,不是南瓜。传说有个绰号叫“吝啬鬼杰克”的男人屡次捉住魔鬼,并且要魔鬼允诺永远不会让他下地狱才肯放掉魔鬼。然而,他去世时才知道,天堂也不愿意接受他的灵魂,所以他只能做孤魂野鬼,永远在人间游荡。魔鬼给了杰克一个装有燃煤的雕刻萝卜作为照明的灯笼。久而久之,当地人也开始在他们的南瓜上雕刻狰狞的面容,以驱赶恶灵。
