不給糖就搗蛋

這是萬圣節(jié)，西方小孩子出去討糖時(shí)，敲開對(duì)方門后說的話，意思是你要不就treat我，給我好吃的，不然我就trick你，即搗蛋?！癟rick or treat”，這習(xí)俗卻并非源自愛爾蘭，而是始于公元九世紀(jì)的歐洲基督教會(huì)。那時(shí)的11月2日，被基督徒們稱為 “ALL SOULS DAY”（萬靈之日）。在這一天，信徒們跋涉于僻壤鄉(xiāng)間，挨村挨戶乞討用面粉及葡萄干制成的“靈魂之餅”。據(jù)說捐贈(zèng)糕餅的人家都相信教會(huì)僧人的祈禱，期待由此得到上帝的佑護(hù)，讓死去的親人早日進(jìn)入天堂。這種挨家乞討的傳統(tǒng)傳至當(dāng)今竟演變成了孩子們提著南瓜燈籠挨家討糖吃的游戲。見面時(shí)，打扮成鬼精靈模樣的孩子們千篇一律地都要發(fā)出“不請(qǐng)吃就搗亂”的威脅，而主人自然不敢怠慢，連聲說“請(qǐng)吃！請(qǐng)吃！”同時(shí)把糖果放進(jìn)孩子們隨身攜帶的大口袋里。
