两个微笑的南瓜灯(Two smiling jack-o '-lantern)

南瓜灯的背景故事，包括它们是如何成为万圣节装饰的明星，以及它们最初为什么被雕刻，都是一个值得讲述的故事。尽管传说中的无头骑士和他的南瓜一直在吓唬着美国人好几代人，但南瓜灯实际上可以追溯到几个世纪前爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰等国家的旧世界传统。

The backstory of jack-o’-lanterns, including how they came to star in Halloween decor and why they’re carved in the first place, is a tale worth telling. Although the legendary Headless Horseman and his hurled pumpkin have been scaring Americans for generations, jack-o’-lanterns actually trace their origins back centuries to Old World traditions in countries including Ireland, England, and Scotland.
