Voice 1: Samhain was a special time. It was a celebration of the end of summer, or life, and the beginning of winter, or death. So it was also a frightening time. The Celts believed that there was a natural barrier between the living and the dead. But, around this time, the barrier disappeared. They believed that spirits could rise from the dead around the time of Samhain. They could come among the living. And the spirits could even occupy the body of a living person during the next year.

声音1:萨温节是个特殊的时刻。这是庆祝代表生命的夏季结束和代表死亡的冬季开始的时刻。同时,这也是令人恐惧的时刻。凯尔特人认为生者和亡者之间存在一道天然屏障。但是,在这个时刻,那道屏障会消失。他们认为亡者的灵魂会在萨温节前后返回人间。这些灵魂可能来到生者周围。甚至可能会在第二年附在活人身上。
Voice 2: Historians say that during the celebration of Samhain the Celts dressed themselves in different clothes. They walked through their villages making lots of noise. And they caused disorder in the village. They believed that this frightened the spirits away. Some historians also believe that the Celts sacrificed humans or animals during this celebration as a warning to the spirits.
声音2:历史学家表示,凯尔特人会在萨温节庆典中穿着不同的服饰。他们在走过村庄时会发出很大的噪音。他们会在村庄中引发混乱。他们认为这会吓走那些灵魂。一些历史学家还认为,凯尔特人会在庆典中用祭献人类或动物的方式来警告那些灵魂。
