譯文：萬圣節(jié)的傳說
萬圣節(jié)前夜就是"圣夜"的意思。而今天，萬圣節(jié)前夜已經(jīng)變成一年中最流行和最受歡迎的節(jié)日之一，許多玩家都以極大的熱情來慶祝這一節(jié)日。
萬圣節(jié)在10月31日，其實是贊美秋天的節(jié)日，就好像五朔節(jié)是贊美春天的節(jié)日一樣。古代高盧、不列顛和愛爾蘭的祭司——德魯伊德有一個贊美秋天的盛大節(jié)日，從10月31日午夜開始，直至次日11月1日持續(xù)整整一天。他們認為，在那天晚上他們偉大的死神——薩曼會把那年死去人的鬼魂統(tǒng)統(tǒng)召來，這些惡鬼要受到托生為畜類的懲罰。當然，只要想到這種鬼魅的聚會，就足以令當時那些頭腦簡單的愚民膽戰(zhàn)心諒的了。于是他們點起沖天的篝火，并嚴密監(jiān)視這些惡鬼。
萬圣節(jié)前夜到處有女巫和鬼魂的說法就是這么開始的。至今在歐洲某些與世隔絕的地區(qū)還有人相信這是真的。
如今在整個歐洲，人們都把萬圣節(jié)前夜看作盡情玩鬧、講鬼故事和互相嚇唬的好機會。于是人們不再把這節(jié)日僅僅用來贊美秋光，而是讓它變成一場真正的“狂歡”。而臉譜化妝是萬圣節(jié)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)目之一。
