13、小的小孩也准许玩到很晚, 这样孩子就可以观 赏直冲天空的花炮和五彩缤纷的烟花了。这一风俗起源于1605 年的“ 炸 药事务”。那年, 詹姆士一世国王在位。当时, 他对罗马 天主教徒实行了残酷的镇 压手段, 于是, 一些天主教徒密谋策划于11 月5 日这天, 趁全体 议员到会国王宣布议会开幕之时, 炸掉议会大厦。密谋者租借了与上议院相邻的屋子, 他 们还找到了通往上议院地下室的路。在那里, 他们贮藏了36 桶炸 药。等时间一到, 就由一 位特别英勇、头脑冷静的名叫盖伊 福克斯的人将炸 药点燃。据说, 不幸的是有一个密谋 者预先写信警告了他的一位亲戚, 以致事情败露。11 月4 日, 议会大厦的全
14、部地下室都被 搜查, 盖伊 福克斯被发觉并遭逮捕。据说, 事先有人警告过他安排已经被人发觉, 但他仍 然英勇地坚持自己的目标, 希望能侥幸胜利, 把国家从他视为恶魔的那些人手中解救出来。 他和他的同谋者一起被处以绞刑。面对死亡, 他毫无惧色。盖伊的失败因每年11 月5 日孩子们的烟火而被人们恒久记了下来。尽管他在行动时 可能受了错误指引, 可他对自己的信念是坚决不移的。盖伊是福克斯的教名, 长期以来, 盖 伊这个词在英语中主要是指因穿着怪异而显得滑稽的人, 这对于赞颂福克斯的志气并不合 适。阅读导评正如中国的春节一样, 在英国, 每到11 月5 日那一天, 孩子们就可以过足点鞭炮、放烟 046 花的瘾。与此同时, 孩子们还会用火烧一个假人像“ 叛国 贼”盖伊福克斯的模拟像。 或许人们今日已忘却当年盖伊福克斯为了信仰而杀身成仁的壮举, 甚至怀疑其行为的正 义性, 但为纪念盖伊福克斯的节日却流传了下来, 成为英国一个重要的传统节日。2022年12月高校英语六级阅读精练50篇汇总本文来源：网络收集与整理，如有侵权，请联系作者删除，谢谢！第6页 共6页第 6 页 共 6 页第 6 页 共 6 页第 6 页 共 6 页第 6 页 共 6 页第 6 页 共 6 页第 6 页 共 6 页第 6 页 共 6 页第 6 页 共 6 页第 6 页 共 6 页第 6 页 共 6 页
