Halloween
Molly: How did your Halloween party go?
Finn: Two thumbs up.I met a handsome vampire .We drank some blood together.
Molly: That's kind of cool.Drinking blood?
Finn: It was just red juice,but we called it blood because it was Halloween night.
Molly: I heard about your Halloween party,even the adults have the party and get dressed up .The famous activity is“Trick or Treat ”.But what does“Trick”mean?
Finn: Actually,our small kids get dressed up and then walk around with paper bags or baskets knocking on their neighbors,doors.Usually it's the older kids going around playing pranks,like punching the pumpkins left outside people's doors,or hanging a roll of toilet paper in someone's tree.They usually do it late at night after the little kids go home.
Molly: It sounds kind of fun.Maybe I could get together with my kids next year.
Finn: Good.Before Halloween you need to buy two pumpkins and a big bag of candy .Can you make a jack-o'-lantern ?
Molly: Of course.
萬圣節(jié)
茉莉: 你們的萬圣節(jié)晚會(huì)怎么樣?
芬: 好極了。我認(rèn)識了帥氣的吸血鬼。我們一起吸血。
茉莉: 酷極了,吸血嗎?
芬: 不可能,我們吸紅果汁,我們叫它血,因?yàn)槟鞘窃谌f圣節(jié)之夜。
茉莉: 我聽過你那個(gè)萬圣節(jié)晚會(huì),甚至成年人會(huì)舉辦一個(gè)大的派對,也要喬裝打扮了。最有名的活動(dòng)是不給糖就搗亂。但是“惡作劇”都包括哪些內(nèi)容呢?
芬: 實(shí)際上,是我們年紀(jì)小的孩子喬裝打扮好后就帶著紙袋或籃子四處敲鄰居們的門。那些比較大的孩子們到處走動(dòng)來搞一些惡作劇,比如說把鄰居門口的南瓜燈上戳幾個(gè)洞,或者給別人家的樹上掛上一卷衛(wèi)生紙。他們經(jīng)常在一些年齡較小的孩子回家后,趁著深夜干這些事。
茉莉: 這可太有趣了?;蛟S明年我和孩子也參加。
芬: 太好了。之前你要買兩個(gè)南瓜和一大袋子糖。你能制作南瓜燈嗎?
茉莉: 當(dāng)然了。
