为什么万圣节要吃糖果？
<p>西方人过万圣节，家家户户都要给孩子们准备好充足的糖果，否则可能就要承受捣蛋鬼的恶作剧。为什么不是蛋糕、南瓜饼，而是糖果呢？为什么小孩子要在万圣节挨家挨户地讨糖果吃呢？这要从两千多年前的一个节日说起。</p><p><span word="On">On</span> <span word="October">October</span> 31, <span word="hordes">hordes</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="children">children</span> <span word="armed">armed</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="Jack">Jack</span>-<span word="o">o</span>'-<span word="lantern">lantern</span>-<span word="shaped">shaped</span> <span word="buckets">buckets</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="pillow">pillow</span> <span word="cases">cases</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="take">take</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="streets">streets</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="search">search</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="sugar">sugar</span>. <span word="Trick">Trick</span>-<span word="or">or</span>-<span word="treating">treating</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="candy">candy</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="synonymous">synonymous</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="Halloween">Halloween</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="tradition">tradition</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="go">go</span> <span word="through">through</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="centuries">centuries</span>-<span word="long">long</span> <span word="evolution">evolution</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="arrive">arrive</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="place">place</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="today">today</span>. <span word="So">So</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="holiday">holiday</span> <span word="become">become</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="opportunity">opportunity</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="kids">kids</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="free">free</span> <span word="sweets">sweets</span>? <span word="You">You</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="blame">blame</span> <span word="pagans">pagans</span>, <span word="Catholics">Catholics</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="candy">candy</span> <span word="companies">companies</span>.</p><p>10月31日，成群的孩子们会涌到大街上，带着南瓜形状的篮子和枕套找糖吃。作为万圣节的代名词，“不给糖就捣蛋”这一传统经历了数百年才演变成今天这个样子。那么这个节日是怎么变成孩子们获得免费糖果的机会呢？你可以将其归咎于异教徒、天主教徒和糖果公司。</p>
