To keep your eyes peeled
今日小常识
A modern jack-o'-lantern is typically a carved pumpkin. It is associated chiefly with Halloween. The top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out. An image, usually a monstrous face, is carved out, and the lid replaced. The name is associated with Irish folklore about 'Stingy Jack' who played tricks on the Devil.
现代的杰克灯通常是用南瓜做的,故称杰克南瓜灯。它主要是同万圣节相关连的。人们把南瓜的顶部切个洞,把里面的瓤掏出,然后再塑造一个鬼脸,放入蜡烛,再把那瓜盖子植入原位。这个名字来自爱尔兰的民间传说,同“吝啬鬼杰克”有关,据说他总是在捉弄魔鬼。
