3. 万圣节(11月1日)-----HALLOWMAS

3. Halloween (November 1st) ----- HALLOWMAS

4. 按照基督教的习惯，每年的11月1 日为万圣节，是纪念所有圣徒的日子。万圣节前夕便是万圣节的前一天，即10月31日。在中世纪的英格兰，万圣节被叫做 All Hallow ，大家知道，"前夕"的英语是eve , 所以万圣节前夕便由Halloween + eve 演变成 Halloween 。

4. According to Christian custom, November 1st is All Saints' Day, a day to remember all the saints. The day before All Saints' Day is known as Halloween, which is October 31st. In medieval England, All Saints' Day was called All Hallow. As you know, the English word for "eve" is "eve," so Halloween is derived from "Halloween" + "eve."

5. 在圣诞夜（12月24日晚至25日晨），基督教徒们组织歌咏队到各教徒家去唱圣诞颂歌，传报佳音。据说，这是模仿天使在基督降生的那天夜里，在伯利恒郊外向牧羊人报告基督降生的喜讯。颂歌很多，比如《平安夜》、《铃儿响叮当》、《小伯利恒》、《东方三贤士》等，内容大都与耶酥的诞生有关。

5. On Christmas Eve (from the evening of December 24th to the morning of December 25th), Christians organize choirs to sing Christmas carols at the homes of various believers and spread the good news. It is said that this is an imitation of the angels on the night of Christ's birth, when they reported the joyful news of Christ's birth to the shepherds outside of Bethlehem. There are many carols, such as "Silent Night," "Jingle Bells," "Little Town of Bethlehem," and "The Three Wise Men," among others, with most of their content related to the birth of Jesus.

10. 为了感谢上帝赐予的大丰收，移民们决定举行一次盛大的庆祝活动，同时也是为了感谢印地安人的热心帮助。于是他们在1621年的11月下旬的一个星期四，与邀请来的曾帮助过他们的印地安人一起举行了一个庆祝活动。他们在天亮时鸣放礼炮，举行宗教仪式，虔诚地向上帝表示感谢。然后他们用自己猎取的火鸡以及自己种的南瓜、红薯、玉米等做的美味佳肴，隆重庆祝上帝的赐予，这便是美国历史上的感恩节的开始。1789年美国第一任总统华盛顿正式宣布将11月26日作为过感恩节的日子。但一直到1941年由国会通过了一项决议，将每年11月的第四个星期四作为全国统一庆祝感恩节的日子。

10. In order to express gratitude for the abundant harvest bestowed by God, the immigrants decided to hold a grand celebration, also to thank the Native Americans for their warm assistance. Therefore, on a Thursday in late November of 1621, they held a celebration together with the Native Americans who had helped them, whom they had invited. They fired cannons at dawn, conducted religious ceremonies, and sincerely thanked God. Then, they prepared delicious dishes with turkeys they had hunted, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, corn, and other crops they had grown, grandly celebrating God's blessings. This marked the beginning of Thanksgiving in American history. In 1789, the first President of the United States, George Washington, officially announced November 26th as the day to celebrate Thanksgiving. However, it was not until 1941, when Congress passed a resolution, that the fourth Thursday of November was designated as the national day of Thanksgiving celebration.

11. 父亲节( Father's Day)起源与20世纪初的美国。据说当时在华盛顿州有一位名叫的人，她年幼丧母，兄弟姐妹六人全靠父亲抚养成人。父亲的这种既为人父，又为人母的自我牺牲精神极大地感动了她。长大后，她积极倡导父亲节，并说服当时华盛顿的Ministerial Society of Spokane作一次特殊的礼拜仪式向父亲们表达敬意。后来在1916年她的建议得到了Woodwork Wilson总统的官方承认。 从此父亲节便成为了美国的一项传统节日。

11. The origin of Father's Day is in early 20th-century America. It is said that at that time, in Washington State, there was a person named (the name is missing in the original text) who lost her mother at a young age and was raised by her father along with her five siblings. The self-sacrificing spirit of her father, who was both a father and a mother to her, greatly moved her. As she grew up, she actively promoted the idea of Father's Day and convinced the Ministerial Society of Spokane in Washington to hold a special worship service to honor fathers. Later, in 1916, her suggestion was officially recognized by President Woodrow Wilson. From then on, Father's Day has become a traditional holiday in the United States.

20. 名英国清教徒乘坐“五月花”号木船（Mayflower）从英格兰的普利茅斯（Plymouth）出发，经过将近3个月的海上漂泊，于当年12月23 日来到美洲的 Massachusetts 东南部的 Plymouth 港口，并在附近意外地找到一个印地安人的村落，他们发现村内无人于是定居下来。但是当时是冬天，又人生地不熟，白手起家，缺衣少食，以及疾病的侵袭等原因，到第一个冬天结束时，活下来的只有50来人。但有幸的是，第二年的春天，这批幸存下来的移民得到了当地印地安人的热心帮助。善良的印地安人给他们种子，教他们打猎，教他们根据当地的气候特点种庄稼等。就这样，在印地安人的帮助下，再加上移民们的艰苦奋斗，终于迎来了1621年的大丰收。

20. Twenty English Puritans set sail from Plymouth, England, on a wooden ship named the Mayflower, and after nearly three months at sea, they arrived at the port of Plymouth in the southeastern part of Massachusetts, in the Americas, on December 23 of that year. They accidentally discovered an Indigenous village nearby and, finding no one inside, decided to settle there. However, it was winter, they were strangers to the land, they had to start from scratch, suffered from lack of clothing and food, and were plagued by diseases, which led to only about 50 of them surviving by the end of the first winter. But fortunately, the following spring, the surviving settlers received warm help from the local Indigenous people. The kind-hearted Indigenous people gave them seeds, taught them to hunt, and instructed them on how to plant crops based on the local climate, etc. With the help of the Indigenous people and the hard work of the settlers, they finally迎来了 1621's abundant harvest.

60. 感恩节的起源有一段有趣但很复杂的历史，这一段历史要从英国的宗教史说起。大约16世纪中叶，在英国教会（）内出现了改革派。他们主张清除教会内残留的天主教旧制和烦琐的礼仪，取消教堂内华丽的装饰，反对封建王公贵族的骄奢*逸，主张过勤俭清洁的简朴生活，因而被人称为清教徒（）。清教徒中又分为温和派和激进派。温和派主张君主立宪，代表大资产阶级和上层新贵族的利益。激进派则提倡共和政体，坚持政教分离，主张用长老制改组国会，代表中小资产阶级贵族的利益，后来遭到当局的迫害，部分清教徒于是被迫逃亡国外。1620年9月，

60. The origin of Thanksgiving has an interesting but complex history, which begins with the religious history of Britain. Around the mid-16th century, reformers emerged within the British church. They advocated for the removal of the remnants of the Catholic old system and the繁琐 rituals within the church, the cancellation of the luxurious decorations in the churches, and opposed the opulence and extravagance of feudal princes and nobles. They advocated for a simple life of diligence, thrift, and cleanliness, and were thus called Puritans. Among the Puritans, there were moderates and radicals. The moderates advocated for a constitutional monarchy, representing the interests of the big bourgeoisie and the upper new nobility. The radicals, on the other hand, promoted a republican form of government, insisted on the separation of church and state, and advocated for the restructuring of Parliament with the system of presbyteries, representing the interests of the middle and small bourgeoisie nobility. Later, they faced persecution from the authorities, and some Puritans were forced to flee abroad. In September 1620,

61. 不过愚人节最典型的活动还是大家互相开玩笑，用假话捉弄对方。有的人把细线拴着的钱包丢在大街上，自己在暗处拉着线的另一端。一旦有人捡起钱包，他们就出其不意地猛然把钱包拽走。还有人把砖头放在破帽子下面搁在马路当中，然后等着看谁来了会踢它。小孩们会告诉父母说自己的书包破了个洞，或者脸上有个黑点．等大人俯身来看时，他们就一边喊着“四月傻瓜”。一边笑着跑开去。总之，每逢愚人节这一天，动物园和水族馆还会接到不少打给菲什(鱼)先生成莱昂(狮子)先生的电话，常常惹得工作人员掐断电话线，以便减少麻烦。

61. However, the most typical activity of April Fool's Day is when everyone plays pranks on each other, teasing each other with lies. Some people leave a wallet attached to a thin string on the street, pulling the other end from a hidden spot. As soon as someone picks up the wallet, they suddenly pull it away unexpectedly. Others place bricks under a broken hat in the middle of the road and wait to see who will kick it. Children will tell their parents that their backpack has a hole or there is a black spot on their face, and when the adults lean down to look, they shout "April Fool" while laughing and run away. In short, on April Fool's Day, zoos and aquariums often receive many calls for Mr. Fish and Mr. Leon, which often drives staff to cut the phone lines to reduce the trouble.

66. 相传圣诞老人是罗马帝国东部小亚细亚每拉城（今土耳其境内）的主教圣尼古拉的化身。17世纪荷兰移民把圣诞老人的传说带到了美国。美国英语中的圣诞老人为“圣塔克劳斯”（Santa Claus），在荷兰语中原为“圣尼古拉”。 圣尼古拉主教生前乐善好施，曾暗地里赠送金子给一农夫的三个待嫁的女儿作嫁妆，将一袋金子从烟囱扔进去，恰好掉在壁炉上的一只长统袜中。所以现在在圣诞夜有不少天真的孩子都把袜子口朝上小心翼翼地吊在壁炉旁或床头，期待圣诞老人送来礼物。

66. It is said that Santa Claus is an embodiment of Saint Nicholas, the bishop of Myra in the eastern part of the Roman Empire (now located in Turkey). In the 17th century, Dutch immigrants brought the legend of Santa Claus to America. In American English, Santa Claus is known as "Santa Claus," which in Dutch was originally "Sint Nicolaas." Saint Nicholas, the bishop, was known for his generosity during his lifetime and once secretly gave gold to a farmer's three daughters as dowries, throwing a bag of gold down the chimney, which landed in a long stocking hanging by the fireplace. Therefore, on Christmas Eve, many innocent children hang their stockings with the opening up, carefully by the fireplace or by the bed, hoping that Santa Claus will bring them gifts.

76. 母亲节起源于19世纪60年代的美国。据说当时在美国 Philadelphia 有一个小地方，人们之间彼此关系不十分友好，经常打架。当时有一位叫 Mrs Jarvis 的女士希望能改变这种状况，于是她就开始了一个所谓“母亲友谊节”（Mother\'s Friendship Day）。在母亲友谊节这一天便去看望其他人的母亲，并劝她们能和好如初。于 1905年5月9 日去世，她的女儿Miss Anna Javis 继承了她的事业，继续努力，并决心建立一个纪念母亲的节日。于是她开始给当时有影响的人写信，提出自己的建议。在她的努力下， Philadelphia 于1908年5 月10 日第一次庆祝了母亲节。

76. Mother's Day originated in the 1860s in the United States. It is said that at that time, there was a small place in Philadelphia, where the relationships between people were not very friendly, and there were often fights. At that time, a lady named Mrs. Jarvis wanted to change this situation, so she started what was called the "Mother's Friendship Day." On Mother's Friendship Day, she visited the mothers of others and persuaded them to reconcile. She passed away on May 9, 1905. Her daughter, Miss Anna Javis, inherited her cause, continued to work hard, and was determined to establish a day to commemorate mothers. So she began to write to influential people of the time, proposing her suggestions. Thanks to her efforts, Philadelphia celebrated Mother's Day for the first time on May 10, 1908.
