5、节的规模不大，仅限于贵族举行的一些室内化妆舞会，人们戴上从巴黎购买的面具，尽情地欢乐。1852年，葡萄牙人阿泽维多指挥的乐队走上了街头。随着节奏明快的乐曲，不管是黑人还是白人，也不管是穷人还是富人，男女老少都跳起来了，整个城市欢腾起来了。里约热内卢狂欢节最早并没有固定的场所，由于狂欢节时值盛夏，天气炎热，游行活动都在夜晚进行。从20世纪70年代起，各桑巴舞学校建议在市内修建一座桑巴舞赛场，用于狂欢节活动。Easter BunnyEaster eggsIn late March or early AprilPopular symbolsEaster 每年在教堂庆祝的复活节指的是春分月圆后的第一个

6、星期日，如果月圆那天刚好是星期天，复活节则推迟一星期。因而复活节可能在从3月22日到4月25日之间的任何一天。复活节是最古老最有意义的基督教节日。因为它庆祝的是基督的复活，世界各地的基督徒都要庆祝这一节日。典型的复活节礼物跟春天和再生有关系：鸡蛋、小鸡、小兔子、鲜花，特别是百合花这一季节的象征。复活节前夕，孩子们为朋友和家人给鸡蛋着色打扮一番。复活节那天早上，孩子们会发现床前的复活节篮子里装满了巧克力彩蛋、复活节小兔子、有绒毛的小鸡及娃娃玩具等。一年一度的美国白宫滚彩蛋活动经常被电视台实况转播。Halloween is one of the oldest holidays with origi

7、ns going back thousands of years.On October 31 children in countries like the US and Canada celebrate Halloween.All HallowsAll Saints DayNovember 1Halloween Parade(游行）每年的月日为万圣节，它是西方国家的传统节日。这一夜是一年中最“闹鬼”的一夜，所以也叫“鬼节”。月日是夏天正式结束的日子，也就是新年伊始，严酷的冬季开始的一天。那时人们相信，故人的亡魂会在这一天回到故居地在活人身上找寻生灵，借此再生，而且这是人在死后能获得再生的唯一希

8、望。而活着的人则惧怕死魂来夺生，于是人们就在这一天熄掉炉火、烛光，让死魂无法找寻活人，又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪把死人之魂灵吓走。万圣节的一个有趣内容是“Trick or treat”，孩子们提着南瓜灯笼挨家讨糖吃的。见面时，打扮成鬼精灵模样的孩子们千篇一律地都要发出“不请吃就捣乱”的威胁，而主人自然不敢怠慢，连声说“请吃！请吃！”同时把糖果放进孩子们随身携带的大口袋里。Carved Pumpkin LanternThanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks,of family gatherings and holiday meals.

9、A time of turkeys,stuffing,and pumpkin pie.A time for Indian corn,holiday parades and giant balloons.Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November,which this year(2004)is November 25th.每年11月的第四个星期四是感恩节。感恩节是美国人民独创的个古老节日，也是美国人合家欢聚的节日，因此美国人提起感恩节总是倍感亲切。追根溯源，感恩节是和美洲古代的印第安人，特别是和玉米的种植有十分密切的关系。

10、1620年9月6日，一批英国清教徒难以忍受宗教的迫害，搭乘“五月花号”木船驶往美洲。他们在疲劳、饥饿、寒冷和疾病的袭击下在大西洋上漂泊了65天，最后到达北美殖民地的普利茅斯。在第一个冬天，半数人以上都死于饥饿和传染病，活下来的人们在第一个春季开始播种，整个夏天他们都热切地盼望着丰收的到来他们深知自己的生存将取决于即将到来的收成。后来，庄稼获得了丰收，所以大家决定要选一个日子来感谢上帝的恩典。直至1863年，美国总统林肯宣布把感恩节定为全国性的节日。Festivals around the worldGo through the passage quickly:How many types of
