关于万圣节：你不知道的6件事

　　6. Turnips Instead of Pumpkins

　　萝卜还是南瓜

　　The first Jack O'Lanterns were actually made from turnips by the Celts to ward off evil spirits during Samuin, The Celts would hollow out turnips then carve faces in them and place candles inside. The turnips were then either placed in the windows to keep evil spirits from encountering a home or carried around as lanterns. The tradition eventually melded with the North American tradition of carving pumpkins.

　　事实上，第一个南瓜灯是由白萝卜做的。凯尔特人挖空白萝卜，在表面雕上人脸的形状，再把蜡烛放在里面。然后把它放在窗户上，以免幽灵进入房间，或者随身携带。后来，这一习俗和北美人民雕刻南瓜的习俗融合在一起，形成了现在的南瓜灯。
