史上最好的萬聖節廣播節目廣播稿

片花：Fell in love with English,fell in love with a ogether into a new world。希望能與你在這短暫的40分鐘裏，享受英語，享受一段美好時光。

A：Good afternoon，everyone。今天的《I English》又與大家相遇了。我是。。。

B：Good afternoon，這裏是《I English》，很高興大家能再中午這樣一段慵懶的時光中收聽我們的節目，我是。。。

A：。。。很好奇哦，這個週末你是怎麼過的呀。

B：這有什麼可好奇的，只是個週末而已。

A：你看，還是英語主播呢，你還真就忘了，這個週末是10月31號，這天的晚上可是西方著名的傳統節日，萬聖節。

B：哦，我還真忘了，Halloween辭典解釋為 “The eve of All Saints'Day”，中文譯作：萬聖節之夜。這可是小孩子們最喜歡的節日了，因為在這一天可以盡情的胡鬧。

A：雖然萬聖節是個傳統的節日，但現在傳到今天已經成了一個孩子們的節目，甚至成了年輕人化裝舞會的節目。不過因為你忘記了，所以下面就要罰你來為我們簡單介紹一下萬聖節了。

B：好吧，我將功補過。Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying on broomsticks with ghosts, goblins and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. Bats, owls and other nocturnal animals are also popular symbols of Halloween. They were originally feared because people believed that these creatures could communicate with the spirits of the dead. 內容來自dedecms

A：據説靈魂會在萬聖節的前夜造訪人世，人們為了能讓造訪的鬼魂看到圓滿的收成就會擺出豐盛的食物款鬼魂們待。點亮所有篝火及燈火，一來為了嚇走一些鬼魂，同時也為親人的鬼魂照亮路線，引導其迴歸。

B：就像每年農曆七月半我們的“鬼節”一樣，佛教就認為在這一天亡者的鬼魂可得救度。其實都是寄託了人們對於逝者的思念與美好的祝願。

A：Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night.這會一直在説鬼節，咱們還是趕緊來聽首英文歌輕鬆一下吧。《Stay the night》.

播放《Stay the night》

B：聽完了James Blunt的《Stay the night》，還是讓我們接着來聊聊夜晚的節日Halloween。

A：其實一説到萬聖節，我們首先想到的就是南瓜。Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color. Carving pumpkins into jack- o'-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland. A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser. He couldn't enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil. As a result, Jack had to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day. So Jack and his lantern became the symbol of a lost or damned soul.

B：嗯，我也聽説過這個叫Jack的倒黴鬼，因為非常吝嗇，死後不能進入天堂，又因為取笑魔鬼連地獄也進不了，所以，他只能提着燈籠四處遊蕩，直到審判日那天。並且直到今天傑克和他的南瓜燈都還是被詛咒的遊魂的象徵。

A：其實關於萬聖節有很多種説法，這只是其中的一種。傳説最多的版本認為，那是源於基督誕生前的古西歐國家，主要包括愛爾蘭、蘇格蘭和威爾士。這幾處的古西歐人叫德魯伊特人。德魯伊特的新年在十一月一日，新年前夜，德魯伊特人讓年輕人集隊，戴着各種怪異面具，拎着刻好的蘿蔔燈(南瓜燈系後期習俗，古西歐最早沒有南瓜)，他們遊走於村落間。這在當時實則為一種秋收的慶典;也有説是“鬼節”，傳説當年死去的人，靈魂會在萬聖節的前夜造訪人世，人們便聚集在一起迎接或者驅趕不同的鬼魂。

B：To scare these souls away on Halloween, the Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips, beets or potatoes representing "Jack of the Lantern," or Jack-o-lantern. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips. Today jack-o-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies waiting if they knock and say "Trick or Treat!" 如果在萬聖節的晚上人們在窗户上掛上南瓜燈就表明那些穿着萬聖節服裝的人可以來敲門搗鬼要糖果。

A：如今孩子們延續着裝挨家要糖的習俗，人們相信在萬聖節前夜鬼魂會羣集於居家附近，並接受設宴款待。因而，在“宴會”結束後，村民們就自己扮成鬼魂精靈，遊走村外，引導鬼魂離開，避邪免災。於此同時，村民們也都注意在屋前院後的擺佈些水果及其他食品，喂足鬼魂而不至於讓它們傷害人類和動物或者掠奪其他收成。後來這習俗一直延續下來，就成了孩子們取笑不慷慨之家的玩笑。

B：這有一首有趣的關於萬聖節的小詩《The Candy King》，我來給大家念一下。

There was a king who loved Halloween。He waited each year for this scary scene。He sneaked out to hang on his door。Black bats and witches and spooks galore。The midnight hour was his favorite time。With monsters covering snakes with slime。As twelve o'clock chimed through the stars。He opened up his snickers bars.。

B：雖然關於萬聖節有着不同的説法，但黑至今貓仍是萬聖節的標誌物。Black cats are also symbols of Halloween and have religious origins as well. Black cats were considered to be reincarnated beings with the ability to divine the future. During the Middle Ages it was believed that witches could turn themselves into black cats. Thus when such a cat was seen, it was considered to be a witch in disguise. All these are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows.

A：黑貓成為萬聖節的標誌物，是有一定的宗教起源。人們認為黑貓可以轉生，具有預言未來的超能力。在中世紀，人們認為女巫可以變成黑貓，所以人們一看到黑貓就會認為它是女巫假扮的。這些標誌物都是萬聖節服裝的普遍選擇，也是賀卡或櫥窗上很常用的裝飾。説了這麼多，讓我們再來聽首好聽的歌吧，Matchbox 20 的《 Unwell》。

B：總之，萬聖節已成為西方人一個很普通的季節性節日。有很多人將此看作秋的結束以及冬的到來。萬聖節一過，人們就開始期盼感恩節、聖誕節乃至新年了。所有這些節日的背後，都離不開人類最豐富的想象力。請聽下面這首歌來自REM的《Imitation of Life》

播放《Imitation of Life》

A：想象力一直伴隨着我們，豐富着我們的生活，比如説各種各樣天馬行空的電影，來想想看，都有哪些我們熟悉的。

B：我想到了《飛屋環遊記》，印象尤為深刻的是裏面一句很深刻的台詞“Happiness is not about being immortal nor having food or rights in one's hand. It's about having each tiny wish come true, or having something to eat when you are hungry or having someone's love when you need love.”就是説，“幸福，不是長生不老，不是大魚大肉，不是權傾朝野。幸福是每一個微小的生活願望達成。當你想吃的時候有得吃，想被愛的時候有人來愛你。”

A：沒錯，每個人都有自己的位置，享受別人給的愛，努力去愛別人，“I know someone in the world is waiting for me, although I've no idea of who he is. But I feel happy every day for this.”我知道這世上有人在等我，儘管我不知道我在等誰。但是因為這樣，我每天都非常快樂。

A：其實當幸福成為一種習慣，就不再是想象中那般驚天動地，而成為了一種很微妙的感覺。就像《剪刀手愛德華》中的那句台詞一樣“I love you not for who you are, but for who I am with you.”意思是“我愛你不是因為你是誰，而是我在你面前可以是誰。”看似簡單，確是很認真的愛，能擁有這樣的愛當然會開心，會感動了。

B：“Don't forget the things you once you owned. Treasure the things you can't get. Don't give up the things that belong to you and keep those lost things in memory.”曾經擁有的，不要忘記。不能得到的，更要珍惜。屬於自己的，不要放棄。已經失去的，留作回憶。這都很重要，可我們卻常常忽略。

A：是的，無論是對未來的想象，還是對過往的追憶，最重要的還是應該把握今天。Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

B：認真過好眼前的每一分鐘，開開心心的才是最重要的。“Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.”

A：聊過了這些深刻的問題,讓我們來聽首歌吧《 Pros and cons》

A：下面的時間我們就來輕鬆地瞭解一些有趣的內容。

B：大家一定很好奇是什麼吧，其實就是一些在英語中我們沒怎麼見過的新鮮詞彙。像中文裏有“宅”“恐婚族”這樣的城市流行語，英文中一樣有這樣想象力與構詞法催生的新鮮詞。這些新詞的生命力有多久且不論，我們完全可以拿來讓自己的語言更生動有趣，比如説中午太困了，可以説I got a mid-day crisis. 是不是很有腔調的感覺呢? 快來看看吧。

A：“Good lenses, bad frames”大家知道是什麼意思嗎，其實它在中文中很常用，“人不可貌相”Describing someone who gives a bad first impression but is actually a good person. Someone who doesn't appear to be competent, yet is extremely capable at what he/she does.形容一個給人的第一印象極差、但本質很好的人，或者指表面看不出來，實則深藏不露的高手。這句確實很實用。

B：再來看看這一句“Work avalanche”也許這個詞有點誇張，“工作壓死人”但有時候卻也很適合我們忙碌的生活，When there is so much work piled on your desk, movement from under it is nearly impossible.

A：我為大家介紹的是這一句”Happy Late Year“，常常用在過年後一個星期，這時候拜年的時候就不是new year了，是late year。When people are still saying Happy New Year, even though it's already a week after the new year.

B：下面要説到的這個詞也許離我們有點遙遠，但還是挺有趣的，叫做“Nearsighted Date”“近視”相親，意思是As opposed to a blind date, where you have no idea what the other person looks like, a nearsighted date is one where you've seen a photo or chatted via web before meeting in person.

A:也許上面提到的那個不太常用，但接下來要介紹的這個詞一定會和很有用的。“To call it a day"at work so you can go party.”,就是説下班之後去派對狂歡，其中“clock out”即打卡下班，也可以説punch out，若將“work”換做“class”就是“下課後去玩”。

B：我們都會有中午沒時間睡午覺的時候吧，那這種情況該怎麼表達呢。When one is in adesperate need for a siesta because they become extremely tired in the afternoon and coffee isn't cutting it any longer.這時就可以用“Mid-day crisis”“午間危機”來表達。

A：説了這麼多，也許以後在生活中就能用到呢，都是很地道的英文，希望可以對大家有所幫助。

B：以上就是這一期的《I English》，還喜歡嗎。

A：Ok,that's for today's program,thank you for step bye.

B：Bye bye.
