奥巴马演讲视频：奥巴马夫妇准备在白宫庆祝万圣节
时间：2019-01-18 作者：英语课 分类：美国总统演讲视频
Heather Cooper: Okay, what I'm doing today is, I am putting together a topiary.
We have four of these that are going up.
We have almost all volunteers.
I would say by the end of the weekend, you will have seen almost upwards 1 of 60 people total that will have volunteered their time to make Halloween great.
The President and First Lady went out and chose some pumpkins 2 that they wanted to be made.
The President: Or, what about this one right here?
This one...
We've got to carve it up.
The First Lady: No -- yeah, I think we're going to carve one.
I think this could be a good one.
The kids would love this.
Sarah Martin:
The President picked out these pumpkins and we just picked out the best patterns that we had found for the trick-or-treating; this is the results.
Heather Cooper: Well, we have so many pumpkins coming, so we have to make sure that those are special amidst all of the other pumpkins.
♪♪(music playing)♪♪
Susie Morrison: We are packing, right now, the cookies for the Halloween trick-or-treaters on the North Portico 3 that the President and First Lady will be there to hand out.
The President: Come on, Spiderman!
How are the droopy ears?
Whoa!
Oh, a fairy!
Good to see you, bug.
Susie Morrison: Inside each bag, we have the White House that is dipped in a lovely orange color this year.
We have 1,400 more to cut out, bake, dip and do the same thing.
We have the Presidential M&M's.
And then, of course, we have some assorted 5 dried fruit.
It's so exciting; the children are just so full of such excitement when they come up and see the President and the First Lady and know that they're getting a special treat from the White House.
