   Trick or treat?万圣节又来了!这个美国第二大烧钱的节日到底怎么过?今天Jenny和Adam就要告诉你万圣节的正确打开方式。


  万圣节
  在中文里,大家习惯将万圣节前夜称为“万圣节”:
  Halloween: /?h?l.o??i?n/ 万圣前夜
  它原本是异教(非基督教)的节日,但在商业炒作之下已经变得十分普遍:
  Pagan: /?pe?·ɡ?n/ adj.异教的 n.异教徒
  Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated 1 each year on October 31.
  人们通常在每年的10月31日庆祝万圣节。
  It originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward 2 off ghosts.
  这个节日起源于古代凯尔特人的夏末节,人们会燃起篝火,穿上戏服以驱赶鬼怪。
  Trick or Treat
  万圣节小朋友们最期待的环节就是:
  Trick or treat: 不给糖果就捣蛋。Trick指恶作剧,treat是招待、款待的意思。
  小朋友们会装扮成鬼怪的模样,在邻里间挨家挨户索要糖果。
  成年人也会穿上戏服,扮成各式各样的人物甚至物品:
  Halloween costumes: 万圣节服装
  “穿戏服”可以用到这个词组:
  Dress up in costumes: 穿着戏服
  Dress up as a character: 装扮成某个人物
  动漫英雄,明星政客都是热门角色,也有人会提前定好主题,所有人都装扮成某个电视剧或电影里的人物。
  “可怕”的英语
  万圣节的起源就和“鬼怪”“恐怖”等事物相关,令人毛骨悚然:
  Scary: 可怕的,恐怖的
  Creepy: 令人毛骨悚然的
  Spooky: 可怕的,令人毛骨悚然的
  游乐园的鬼屋叫做ghost house,但常用的另一种说法是:
  Haunted house: 闹鬼的屋子
  Haunted: 闹鬼的,反复出现的
  很多人会在万圣节观看恐怖电影,例如非常经典的《Halloween》(月光光心慌慌),《Friday the 13th》(十三号星期五),《Texas Chainsaw Massacre》(德州电锯杀人狂)等。
  Horror movies: 恐怖片
  Scary movies: 恐怖片
  南瓜灯
  万圣节到来之际,北美处处都是南瓜,节日氛围十分浓厚:
  Halloween pumpkins 4: 万圣节南瓜
  和家人一起雕刻杰克南瓜灯是万圣节的一项重要活动:
  Pumpkin 3 carving 5: 雕刻南瓜
  Jack-o’-lanterns: /?d??k.??l?n.t?n/ 杰克南瓜灯
