万圣节是十月三十一庆祝的节日。很久之前,人们相信巫师们聚集和鬼魂游荡都在这天。所以万圣节也很流行去鬼屋受惊吓的!
L: Oh, I see. I saw a lot of people buying pumpkins.
明白了,我看见好多人正买南瓜呢!
J: Yes, people carved a smile face on one side of the pumpkin. A candle is usually placed inside. In addition, dressing up in costume is a popular custom for celebration as well. I bought a vampire costume last year, it was funny.
是啊,人们给南瓜的一片刻上笑脸,蜡烛是一般放在南瓜里面的。当然还要穿上服装庆祝。我去年买了个吸血鬼制服,挺好玩的。
L: Do we need to dress up when we are going to haunted house?
那我们去鬼屋要穿那衣服么?
J: It’s up to you. I am tired of buying costumes.
你定吧,我已经不喜欢买了。
L: I also saw kids wearing costumes and knocking the doors to ask for candies.
我也看见了小孩穿着那制服敲门要糖呢
J: It is trick or treating, which is popular for young kids.They dressed in different costumes and asked for treats like candies from house to house. If they don’t get any treat, they may play a trick on that house.
那个叫不给糖就捣蛋,小孩喜欢玩。他们穿着不同的制服挨家挨户要糖。如果没要到,可能就要恶作剧了。
