答案
Birthday Candle History Traditionally, birthday candles were used to bring birthday wishes to the gods. / The ancient Greeks made round or moon-shaped honey cakes / and took them to the temple, where they worshiped the moon goddess. / The Greeks would pray over the flames / and believed the smoke carried their wishes up to the gods. / Greeks also placed candles on top of the cake / to make the cake glow like the moon god. / The Germans would burn a large candle that had 12 lines and numbers, / which marked the 12 months of the year. / This candle represented the light of life and was used for religious practices. / Eventually, this evolved into using candles on the cake to equal the number of a person’s birthday. / Traditionally, the birthday person blows out the candles and makes a wish. / Modern superstitions state you must blow out all the candles to receive your wish / and you cannot tell your wish to anyone / otherwise it will not come true.
