Why is it called Ghost Month? Is it because there are lots of ghosts?”   Bear老師：「以前的人相信，農曆七月，鬼門會打開，讓鬼魂來到人間。」 Teacher Bear: “People in the past believed that during the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the gate of the spirit world would open and allow spirits to come to the human world.”   平平：「鬼門會打開？那鬼來人間做什麼呢？」 Pingping: “The gate of the spirit world opens? What do the ghosts come to the human world for?”   Bear老師：「有些人相信，祖先會回來看看自己的家人。」 Teacher Bear: “Some people believe that ancestors come back to visit their families.”   平平：「原來祖先也會回來看看家人！」 Pingping: “So ancestors come back to visit their families, too!” Bear老師：「對呀！所以到了農曆七月，有些人會祭拜祖先，準備水果、食物和其他供品。」 Teacher Bear: “That’s right! So during the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, some people worship their ancestors and prepare fruit, food, and other offerings.”   平平：「那沒有家人的鬼呢？」 Pingping: “What about ghosts who don’t have families?”   Bear老師：「沒有家人祭拜的鬼，人們也會為祂們準備食物、水果和飲料來祭拜。」 Teacher Bear: “People also prepare food, fruit, and drinks to worship the ghosts who have no families to worship them.”   平平：「所以大家準備東西給鬼吃？」 Pingping: “So people prepare things for the ghosts to eat?”   Bear老師：「對呀！還有，我們有時候不叫他們『鬼』，而是稱呼他們為『好兄弟』。」 Teacher Bear: “That’s right! And sometimes, instead of calling them ‘ghosts,’ we call them ‘good brothers.”   平平：「好兄弟？」 Pingping: “Good brothers?”   Bear老師：「對。『好兄弟』是一種比較客氣、尊敬的稱呼。」 Teacher Bear: “Yes. ‘Good brothers’ is a more polite and respectful way to refer to them.”   平平：「原來『好兄弟』就是鬼呀！那鬼月裡還有什麼特別的事情嗎？」 Pingping: “So ‘good brothers’ are ghosts! What else is special about Ghost Month?”   Bear老師：「有啊！農曆七月裡，有一天特別重要。」 Teacher Bear: “Yes! There is one especially important day during the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar.”   平平：「哪一天？」 Pingping: “Which day?”   Bear老師：「農曆七月十五日，叫『中元節』。」 Teacher Bear: “The fifteenth day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar is called the Zhongyuan Festival.”   平平：「中元節？那天要做什麼？」 Pingping: “The Zhongyuan Festival? What do people do on that day?”   Bear老師：「很多人會準備水果、食物和飲料，祭拜祖先，也祭拜好兄弟。」 Teacher Bear: “Many people prepare fruit, food, and drinks to worship their ancestors and the ‘good brothers.’”   平平：「聽起來好像準備了一大桌食物！」 Pingping: “It sounds like they prepare a whole table of food!”   Bear老師：「哈哈，真的有人會準備很多供品呢！」 Teacher Bear: “Haha, some people really do prepare a lot of offerings!”   平平：「那鬼月裡，需要注意什麼嗎？」 Pingping: “So, is there anything people should be careful about during Ghost Month?”   Bear老師：「有啊！有些人會避免在鬼月游泳，也會避免隨便撿路上的錢或碰別人的供品。」 Teacher Bear: “Yes! Some people avoid swimming during Ghost Month, and they also avoid picking up money they find on the ground or touching other people’s offerings.”   平平：「還有嗎？」 Pingping: “Anything else?”   Bear老師：「有些人也會避免在鬼月結婚或搬家，因為傳統上認為這個月份比較不適合做這些事情。」 Teacher Bear: “Some people also avoid getting married or moving to a new home during Ghost Month, because traditionally, this month is considered an inappropriate time for these things.”   平平：「所以每個人都不能在鬼月結婚或搬家嗎？」 Pingping: “So does that mean no one can get married or move to a new home during Ghost Month?”   Bear老師：「不是喔！這些都是傳統習俗和民間說法，每個人的做法都不一樣。」 Teacher Bear: “No! These are traditional customs and folk beliefs, and different people may choose to follow them in different ways.”   平平：「那鬼一直待在人間嗎？」 Pingping: “Do the ghosts stay in the human world all the time?”   Bear老師：「不會。人們相信到了農曆七月底，鬼門就會關起來，鬼魂也要回到另一個世界。」 Teacher Bear: “No. People believe that when the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar comes to an end, the gate of the spirit world will close, and the spirits will return to the other world.”   平平：「鬼門關起來？」 Pingping: “The gate of the spirit world closes?”   Bear老師：「對。」 Teacher Bear: “That’s right.”   平平：「我懂了！農曆七月初，鬼門打開；到了月底，鬼門關起來。」 Pingping: “I got it! The gate of the spirit world opens at the beginning of the seventh month and closes at the end of the month.”   Bear老師：「沒錯！」 Teacher Bear: “Exactly!”   平平：「原來鬼月有這麼多特別的習俗！」 Pingping: “I didn’t know Ghost Month had so many special customs!”   Bear老師：「對呀！不過要記得，這些都是傳統信仰和民間傳說，不是科學證明的事實。」 Teacher Bear: “That’s right! But remember, these are traditional beliefs and folk traditions, not scientifically proven facts.”   平平：「我知道了。」 Pingping: “Got it.”   Bear老師：「所以，如果你聽到有人說『鬼月』，不要馬上害怕喔！」 Teacher Bear: “So, if you hear someone talking about Ghost Month, don’t be scared right away!”   平平：「嗯……我會努力不要害怕。」 Pingping: “Hmm… I’ll try not to be scared.”   Bear老師：「那我們今天就先說到這裡吧！」 Teacher Bear: “Then I think that’s enough for today!”   平平：「好！Bear老師，天黑了，我們快回家吧！」 Pingping: “Okay! Bear老師, it’s getting dark. Let’s go home!”   Bear老師：「為什麼突然這麼急？」 Teacher Bear: “Why are you suddenly in such a hurry?”   平平：「因為……現在是鬼月呀！」 Pingping: “Because… it’s Ghost Month!”   Bear老師：「對了，想知道更多鬼故事，請聽聽第8、9、51、75和98集喔！」 Teacher Bear: “If you’d like to hear more ghost stories, check out Episodes 8, 9, 51, 75, and 98!”   平平：「我們下次見嘍！」 Pingping: “See you next time!” －－－－以下為 SoundOn 動態廣告－－－－ Kurt Wu X 中信 X 米米立 X Bonny&Read 天天登入抽聯名活動 📍活動路徑：中信銀行APP>右下角更多>數位點任務牆>【天天登入抽】前往活動頁 👉立即抽獎> https://sofm.pse.is/9kdbjw -- 準備賣房嗎？ 即日起至12月31日， 把房屋專任委託給台南住商不動產，即可參加「好友五吉」抽獎活動，賣房抽五機~有機會抽中最新 iPhone 18！ 錦上添花, 好運大獎拿不完! 詳情請洽台南住商任一加盟店。 https://sofm.pse.is/9kc4al -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
