  复活节英文由来
  As with almost all "Christian" holidays, Easter has been secularized and commercialized. The dichotomous nature of Easter and its symbols, however, is not necessarily a modern fabrication.
  和其它基督教节日一样,复活节正慢慢“被世俗”和“被商业”。即便如此,复活节的这两个性质和它的标志并不是必然的“现代产物”。
  复活节兔子The history of Easter 复活节的历史Since its conception as a holy celebration in the second century, Easter has had its non-religious side. In fact, Easter was originally a pagan festival.
  “复活节是神圣的庆典”的概念在公元200年已经形成,自那时起,复活节就站在了非宗教的一方。而事实上,最初的复活节是异教徒的节日。
  The ancient Saxons celebrated the return of spring with an uproarious festivalcommemorating their goddess of offspring and of springtime, Eastre. When the second-century Christian missionaries encountered the tribes of the north with their pagan celebrations, they attempted to convert them to Christianity. They did so, however, in aclandestine manner.
  古撒克逊人庆祝春至时非常热闹,因为这也纪念他们祖先和春天的“复活”。在公元200年,基督教的传教士并偶然来到这个拥有异教庆典的北方部落。这些传教士尝试让撒克逊人改信基督教,而他们使用的方法非常隐秘。
  It would have been suicide for the very early Christian converts to celebrate their holy days with observances that did not coincide with celebrations that already existed. To save lives, the missionaries cleverly decided to spread their religious message slowly throughout the populations by allowing them to continue to celebrate pagan feasts, but to do so in a Christian manner.
  早期的基督教人为了庆祝他们神圣的节日而在仪式中自杀,然而这些仪式并没有与以前的
庆祝仪式相类似。为了拯救生命,传教士略施小计,在人中慢慢散布神明的信息,谎称神明允许人们继续庆祝异教节日,但是要使用基督教的方式进行庆祝。
  As it happened, the pagan festival of Eastre occurred at the same time of year as the Christian observance of the Resurrection of Christ. It made sense, therefore, to alter the festival itself, to make it a Christian celebration as converts were slowly won over. The early name, Eastre, was eventually changed to its modern spelling, Easter.
  就这样,复活节在同年出现了,而且被当作耶稣复活的基督教仪式。因此,这个节日就慢慢被改变,渐渐转变为基督教的一个节日。于是,人们渐渐皈依基督教。而复活节早期的名字Eastre,最后也被改成流传至今的拼法Easter。
 
 
 
  复活节英文——复活兔:The Easter Bunny is not a modern invention. The symbol origina
  The Easter Bunny is not a modern invention. The symbol originated with the pagan festival of Eastre. The goddess, Eastre, was worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons through her earthly symbol, the rabbit.
  复活兔并不是现代世界的产物。复活兔起源于异教的复活节。当时,耶稣的世俗象征是一个兔子,并被盎格鲁撒克逊人供奉着。
  The Germans brought the symbol of the Easter rabbit to America. It was widely ignored by other Christians until shortly after the Civil War. In fact, Easter itself was not widely celebrated in America until after that time.
  而德国人将复活兔带到了美国。直至美国南北战争后,复活兔才被大多数基督教人士所重视。事实上,在这次内战结束后,复活节也未在美国被人们广泛地庆祝。
 
  复活节英文——复活节彩蛋:As with the Easter Bunny and the holiday itself, the Easter Eggs
  As with the Easter Bunny and the holiday itself, the Easter Egg predates the Christian holiday of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians.
  与复活兔和复活节一样,复活蛋预示着圣诞节的即将到来。当基督教徒庆祝第一个复活节后,人们开始春天互相交换复活蛋,而这已成为了人们好几百年的习俗。
  From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. Eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers.
  在早期,复活蛋许多文明中象征着"再生"。人们常常用金的叶子包裹复活蛋,或是农民的做法:将复活蛋画得彩斑斓,并把它和叶子或是真花瓣一起煮沸。
  Today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in Easter baskets along with the modern version of real Easter eggs -- those made of plastic or chocolate candy.
  在今天,孩子们到处搜刮复活蛋,并将这些蛋放到复活节篮子中。为什么呢?他们只是为
了复活蛋的现代意义:复活蛋是由软糖或巧克力做的
