WhatdoyoueatattheMid-autumnFestival?(根据实际情况回答)

it was many octobers ago when it happened. dark magic never gives any warnings, but i sure wish it did. i had always been a peculiar child- i could look at the clouds for an hour or so without getting bored, and see the tiniest details. thinking back, it was only a matter of time before something happened.

it was the day before my thirteenth birthday: october the 30th and i was taking a long walk through the dajurie woods. i knew i was getting dangerously close to the heart of the forest, but i didn’t care. i had to do something to take my troubles off. my mother thinks it my fault that my 11 year old sister was foolish enough to wander off and get lost. my darn fault! how is that my fault, may i ask? now, where was i? ah, yes, strolling through dajurie woods. to this day, i still don’t know how i ever fell asleep in the middle of walking, but i must’ve done so, for all i remember was breathing in the pine-scented air, enjoying my stroll, and then suddenly falling into a deep black void of darkness.

when i woke up, (or got out of the darkness, if i wasn’t truly sleeping) i was standing in an elegant stony hallway. it seemed to stretch on forever. the hall was only slightly illuminated by torches, glowing (of all things) green. i started tiptoeing down the hall, for how long, i do not know. i only remember the sense of terror, which kept growing with each and every step i take. at last, i reached a dilapidated wooden door with an iron handle. i could smell an enchantment in the air. something was there. something ancient and evil. i could tell… … you know how some people say they have butterflies in their stomachs when they’re scared? well, i had killer bees.

i just stared at the door knob for a while, then, at last, got up all my courage, peeked inside, and immediately screamed so loud that i feared i’d never speak again. for inside, lay the corpse of my sister. the most startling thing was that her eyes were midnight black, instead of their regular grey-green. what in the world happened???

i was shaking all over. my hair nearly stood strait up. suddenly, a voice rasped in my ear “yesss, you shall do quite nicsssely… …”, and before i knew it, i was pinned to the ground. for the first time, i noticed my new surroundings. i was in a gorgeous flower garden, yet it looked different from something you see in an average garden. it looked…, well, it looked more beautiful. more beautiful and deadly. i would’ve probably even enjoyed my stay if i wasn’t pinned down and trying to breath, with my sister already dead.

i looked up at my captor, and immediately wished i hadn’t. i knew, at that moment, that for as long as i live, (which might be really short, depending on what the captor was trying to do) i’ll never forget my captor’s face- for there wasn’t one. yes, there were eyes, a crooked nose, and a mouth, yet somehow they weren’t… … flesh. they were fragrant of fears, shadows, and nightmares. i did not know how that was even possible, but i knew it was true, somehow. its body wasn’t there at all, only an eerie invisible force, pushing me to the ground.

perhaps i should’ve struggled, should’ve screamed for help, but i found that i couldn’t- i was completely paralysed. finally i managed to croak -“what?” the monster smiled with its shadowy mouth, showing blood covered fangs.

“you ssshall fall into the sssame fate asss your sssister,” he rasped in the same snake-like voice, “you mortalsss are ssso foolissssh, never realizing the truth! why do you think thessse woods are named ‘dajurie’? they were elvish for me, the mighty dracula! for centuriesss i have waited for mortalsss with magic in their blood to ssstumble acrosss my trap. you ssshall die a famous death, my dear, the death that bringsss me to a true form. then, i ssshall be able to feassst on whoever i pleassse!”

with that, he started to lower his fangs into my flesh. time slowed down. i knew it wasn’t just about me anymore. if dracula managed to rise to power, my world was doomed. i had to think. what has defeated beings of the night in stories?

just then, dracula’s fangs touched my skin. suddenly, i knew what to do. i shouted at the top of my lungs “i’m not afraid of you! you’re never going to hurt my world. you’re just a shadow!!” i was surprised to feel my confidence soaring back to me. i was somehow, somehow stronger.

dracula jerked away as if all his energy was gone. slowly his terrifying face cracked and crumbled into nothingness. i fell again, into the same darkness that brought me to the vampire’s garden. except this time i was grateful to be whisked away. after a while, i felt someone shaking me. i opened my eyes- it was my mother.

“just what happened to you???” she asked, looking like she was on the verge of tears, but hey, i guess i looked that way too. suddenly, her hand flew to her mouth. “y- your e- eyes,” she stammered, “t-they’re, they’re black!”

i just shook my head, “trust me, you wouldn’t believe me if i told you.”

Halloween always falls on 31 October. Its a holiday for children. On that day, children always wear fancy clothes and masks. And then, they go from house to house to say "Trick or Treat", so that people will treat them with candies. If they don’t receive any candies, theyll play a trick on people. But sometimes if the people are going out, when the children come, theyll put the candies in a carved pumpkin lanterns. Children will take the candies themselves. All of the children enjoy this holiday very much.

“叮铃铃”早读铃响了，我们的英语老师走进课室，说“请大家拿出书本早读。”

早读开始了，我们齐刷刷的拿出书本，开始读第一单元，就在这时，只见英语老师突然的用手拍了一下桌子，说“：伍文翔，你在干嘛。“我们一看，哦，原来伍文翔又没有带英语书，而且还在座位玩手指。伍文翔好像没有听到老师说的话一样，还在座位继续玩手指，英语老师看到这个情况，火气马上从肚子直接升到头顶，火冒三丈的向伍文翔走去，伍文翔看到这里时，马上不玩手指，乖乖的坐好，可是，英语老师还是怒气冲冲，在伍文翔面前大声的说”：你在干嘛。“伍文翔说“：我忘记带书本。”英语老师听到这句话后，大发雷霆，大声的吼伍文翔说“：你没有带书本，不会和同学一起看吗？要在那里玩手指”伍文翔说“：我不是和梁晓彤一起看吗？”英语老师听到这句话后，脸涨得红彤彤的，说“：你们离得这么远，怎么看，你有望远镜吗？”伍文翔看到老师的脸色，变得面如土色，英语老师拿着一根棍子用力的去打伍文翔的手，英语老师打完伍文翔之后，伍文翔坐在座位大声的哭，英语老师又大声的对我们说”以后谁要是和伍文翔一样，上课做别的东西的话，就和伍文翔一样的下场。”

这就是我们的英语老师发火的时候。

In our daily life, if we get on harmoniously with our friends, we’ll feel more joyous. But we’ll feel lonely without friends.When our friends feel upset or get ill, we shouldn’t ignore them or look down upon them. On the contrary, we ought to calm them down, show our love and concern to them and try our best to help them overcome the hardships. Sometimes we may have some misunderstandings or disagreements with our friends, thus we had better have a discussion with them and try to accept their good ideas instead of quarreling with them. As long as we can follow these good suggestions, we’ll find it easy to make more friends.

在日常生活中，如果我们跟朋友相处融洽，我们的心情也会更加愉悦。然而若是没有朋友则会觉得孤单。当我们的朋友忧伤或是生病时，我们不应冷落或轻起他们，相反地，我们要帮他们平抚心情，尽自己最大的努力关心他，帮助他渡过难关。有时候我们会与朋友产生误会，发生分歧，这时我们最好是跟朋友好好谈谈而不要争吵，尽量理解他的好的想法。只要我们遵循这些建议，我们会发现想要结交更多的朋友很简单。

我的英语老师中等个子，不胖也不瘦，她长着一双明亮的大眼睛，好像会说话似的。当你做了不应该做的事时，她就会用责备的眼神盯你好一会，知道你低下头来承认错误为止；当你做了令她高兴的好事时，她便用含笑的眼睛足足看你两分钟，好像是在欣赏一件什么宝贝似的。

她对我们的学习，要求很严厉：课文要背熟，句子要会写，单词要记牢。有一次，有位同学单词不过关，老师让他练会，可是他直到放学也没练。于是放学后老师就陪着他练，知道练会为止。就这样不是我们班的每一个同学成绩落后。

一次，英语老师布置了一个非常非常多的作业：M1—M10的单词一词8个，放学前必交！而当时已是第六节课！同学们赶紧奋笔疾书，写啊——为了节省时间，同学们看了一眼单词后，默记下来，然后快速地写八遍。终于，大家都交上了作业。这时大家发现：默写的单词都记下来了！原来这是老师让我们背住单词的方法！

可有时，他还会闹出一些小笑话。有一次，老师给我们讲练习册，本来是要讲第一单元和第二单元的，可是她刚讲完第一单元就把练习册给收了。同学们七嘴八舌地说：“老师，第二单元还没讲呢！”“对呀！”“对呀！”老师这才恍然大悟：“快！快把练习册传下去！”我们都笑个不停。

这就是我们的英语老师，有可亲又可敬。

虽然小姨的学历比我高，但她会读的英语却只有可怜的一小撮。为了让小姨也能跟上时代，有事没事说两句英语，我就给小姨当了一回临时小老师，教她学英语。

跟我读，each，each。我说。each，什么意思？的意思。小姨哦了一声，低下头在本子上记下几笔。再多练几遍，小姨！小姨一边看着本子一边念：each，each。唔，不错。再来下一个。桃子，peach。我大声说。peach，peach。小姨跟着读了两遍，又在本子上写了些什么。

我继续教小姨，她读得挺认真，但总是要在本子上写一写。我可不管这么多，只要她读对就行了。最后，我要小姨把刚才学的单词读一遍，她照着那个小本子，一个一个地念，居然全读对了。我兴奋得一蹦三尺高，这个小老师当得真不错！

吃过晚饭，小姨洗衣服去了，我偷偷拿起小姨的本子，想看看她到底写了什么。真是不看不知道，一看吓一跳――each一尺，桃子僻起

我又好气又好笑地对小姨说：要你学英语，不是汉字！给单词注上汉字怎么能学好呢？小姨有点理亏地说：可我光看单词不会读呀！我只好又不厌其烦地教小姨认音标读单词。

也怪，小姨的单词越学越好，胃口也大了。于是，我又开始教小姨英语句子。有时候，小姨学着学着就会唠叨几句：这外国人说话真麻烦，乱七八糟，连顺序都没有！不过说白了，妈妈学习的劲头足足的，很快在我的指导下掌握了一些英语句子。

渐渐地，小姨会说了很多的英语句子和单词，我开心极了。

万圣节又叫诸圣节，在每年的10月31日，是西方的传统节日。以下是关于万圣节的英语素材，供大家参考。

11月1日万圣节英文：Hallowmas，南瓜是万圣节的代表。

10月31日是万圣夜英文：Halloween，华语地区常将万圣夜称为万圣节。

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition, Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago, people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.

万圣节前夜是在10月31日庆祝的一个节日，根据传统，万圣节前夜的庆祝活动从太阳落山开始。在很久以前，人们相信在万圣节前夜女巫会聚集在一起，鬼魂在四处游荡。现在，大多数人们不再相信有鬼魂和女巫的存在了，但是他们仍然把这些作为万圣节前夜的一部分。

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.

黑色和橙色仍然是万圣节前夜的一部分，黑色是夜晚的象征，而橙色代表着南瓜。南瓜灯是用雕刻成脸型，中间挖空，再插上蜡烛的南瓜做成的，带来一个毛骨悚然的灼热面孔。

Dressing up in costumes is one of the most popular Halloween customs, especially among children. According to tradition, people would dress up in costumes (wear special clothing, masks or disguises) to frighten the spirits away.

盛装是最受欢迎的万圣节风俗之一，尤其是受孩子们的欢迎。按照传统习俗，人们会盛装(穿戴一些特殊的服饰，面具或者装饰)来吓跑鬼魂。

Popular Halloween costumes include vampires (creatures that drink blood), ghosts (spirits of the dead) and werewolves (people that turn into wolves when the moon is full).

流行的万圣节服装包括vampires(吸血鬼)，ghosts(死者的灵魂)和werewolves(每当月圆时就变成狼形的人)。

Trick or Treating is a modern Halloween custom where children go from house to house dressed in costume, asking for treats like candy or toys. If they dont get any treats, they might play a trick (mischief or prank) on the owners of the house.

欺骗或攻击是现代万圣节的风俗。孩子们穿着特殊的衣服走街串巷，讨取糖果和玩具之类的赏赐。如果他们得不到任何的赏赐，就可能会对屋主大搞恶作剧或者胡闹了。

The tradition of the Jack o Lantern comes from a folktale about a man named Jack who tricked the devil and had to wander the Earth with a lantern. The Jack o Lantern is made by placing a candle inside a hollowed-out pumpkin, which is carved to look like a face.

南瓜灯的传统来自于一个民间传说。一个名叫Jack的人戏弄了恶魔，之后就不得不提着一盏灯在地球上流浪。南瓜灯是用雕刻成脸型，中间挖空，再插上蜡烛的南瓜做成的。

There are many other superstitions associated with Halloween. A superstition is an irrational idea, like believing that the number 13 is unlucky!

和万圣节有关的迷信还有很多。迷信是一种不合常理的想法，比如认为13是不吉利的数字!

Halloween is also associated with supernatural creatures like ghosts and vampires. These creatures are not part of the natural world. They dont really exist... or do they?

万圣节还和一些诸如鬼魂和吸血鬼之类的超自然的生物有关。这些生物不是自然界的一部分。他们实际上是不存在的......或许他们其实真的存在?

Witches are popular Halloween characters that are thought to have magical powers. They usually wear pointed hats and fly around on broomsticks.

女巫是万圣节很受欢迎的人物，人们认为她们具有强大的魔力。他们通常戴着尖顶的帽子，骑在扫把上飞来飞去。

Bad omens are also part of Halloween celebrations. A bad omen is something that is believed to bring bad luck, like black cats, spiders or bats.

恶兆也是万圣节庆祝活动的一部分。人们相信恶兆会带给坏运气，黑猫、蜘蛛或者蝙蝠都算是恶兆。

down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well, Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人，因为他对钱特别的吝啬，就不允许他进入天堂，而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地狱，罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”，他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节，孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”，缩写为Jack-o-lantern 。

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。在小学校里，万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。孩子们会制作万圣节的装饰品：各种各样桔红色的南瓜灯。

转眼间暑假又来到了，我要利用这个宝贵的暑假好好补习，因为我这次期末考试考得很不好，为了让这个暑假过得既充实又有意义又快乐，做到劳逸结合，我特制定了暑假生活及学习计划。

In the blink of an eye the summer vacation came, I want to use this precious summer vacation to cram school, because I am in the final exam is not very good, in order to let this summer vacation will be worthwhile and meaningful and happy, do work and rest, I developed a special summer life and study plan.

In addition, three in the morning to go to the gym every Monday afternoon training of badminton, composition class writing; complete teacher assigned homework the rest of the time. Every day to write a two page, five page copybook "homework", two "100" in English reading.

每周写一篇高质量的暑假周记，每周看一本有意义的课外书籍增长见识，并做好读书笔记，积累好词好句，写好读后感。

A week to write a high quality vacation week, weekly reading an interesting extracurricular books increase knowledge, and make the reading notes, accumulate good sentence, written.

为了达到劳逸结合，每周至少游泳三次。 我一定会严格要求自己，按照计划学习、生活，度过一个多姿多彩、既充实又有意义又快乐的暑假。

In order to achieve the work and rest, at least go swimming three times a week. I will set strict demands on themselves, according to the plan, learning life, spend a colorful, both substantial and meaningful and happy summer vacation.

时光一天天地流逝，如今的我，已经是一名五年级的学生了。但是小时候的事情仍然历历在目。以前因幼稚做出的趣事也经常引起我的遐想。

Time passes day by day, now I am a fifth grade student. But when I was a kid, I still remember it. I used to daydream about the funny things I made because of my childishness.

记得我上学前班的时候，有一天放学后，妈妈让我复习那天学习的知识。可是我很贪玩，不想复习，就说：“我都会了，没必要复习!”妈妈说：“既然你都会了，就给我出题吧!”我听了，顿时来了兴致。要知道，我的梦想就是当一名老师，因为当时我认为当老师就不用学习，还可以管着好多人，让别人写题。这次我的梦想能实现啦!

I remember when I was in preschool, one day after school, my mother asked me to review the knowledge I learned that day. But I am very playful, do not want to review, said: "I can, there is no need to review!" mother said: "since you can, give me the problem!" I listened, immediately came to the interest. You know, my dream is to be a teacher, because at that time I thought that when I was a teacher, I didn#39;t have to study, and I could manage many people and let others write questions. My dream can come true this time!

于是我一溜烟跑到屋子里，从抽屉里拿出一张纸，一本正经地写起来。没想到，不写不知道，一写竟然就上了瘾。出一张卷子已经不能满足我了，后来，我又给爸爸、爷爷、奶奶等人出题，到最后还为他们判成绩、排名次。可是他们总是做错题，我非常认真地帮他们改正，并且不厌其烦地为他们讲解，然后把卷子贴在墙上“展示”。每当他们偷懒不想做，我就会批评他们不爱学习。过了几天，我家墙上就贴满了

So I ran to the house, took a piece of paper out of the drawer, and wrote it seriously. I didn#39;t expect that if I didn#39;t write, I would become addicted. It#39;s not enough for me to produce a test paper. Later, I gave the questions to my father, grandfather, grandmother, etc. and at the end, I gave them scores and rankings. But they always make mistakes. I#39;m very serious to help them correct them, and I#39;m not tired of explaining them, and then paste the paper on the wall to "show". Whenever they are lazy and don#39;t want to do it, I will criticize them for not loving learning. After a few days, the walls of my house were covered

卷子，密得如同贴上了一层壁纸。每当家里有客人来，我都要洋洋得意地带他们“参观”贴满卷子的屋子。他们都夸我是一个负责人的“好老师”。我更得意了，又出了更多的卷子……

The paper is as close as a layer of wallpaper. Whenever there are guests at home, I will proudly take them to "visit" the room covered with papers. They all praised me as a "good teacher" in charge. I#39;m more proud, and I have more papers

现在我长大了，对小时候的事情有了深刻的理解。其实，他们是故意将题做错，为的是让我多练习。我还傻傻地把它当成一件神圣的事，现在想起来是多么的有趣。多次的出题和批改都是一种对知识的巩固。多亏了这件有趣的事，为我现在的学习打下了良好的基础。我现在终于明白了当一名老师不是一件简单的事，不但要知识渊博，而且还要极强的责任心和爱心。以后我还要更加努力学习，争取当一名真正的老师。

Now that I am older, I have a deep understanding of what happened when I was a child. In fact, they deliberately made mistakes in order to let me practice more. I also foolishly regard it as a sacred thing, and now it#39;s so interesting to remember. A lot of questions and comments are a kind of consolidation of knowledge. Thanks to this interesting thing, I have laid a good foundation for my study now. Now I finally know that being a teacher is not a simple thing, not only knowledgeable, but also a strong sense of responsibility and love. In the future, I will study harder and strive to be a real teacher.

Dear students:

You’re invited to an Amerlish Halloween party! Join us for the fun festivities with games, treats and more. To have an authentic Halloween experience be sure to come in costume. You can dress as an animal, your favorite character, or an idea. There will be a contest with prizes awarded for costumes. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Halloween is a very American holiday with roots in ancient European traditions. November 1st is All Saints Day, and November 2nd is All Souls Day when the spirits of the dead are free to roam between realms. However, the night before, All Hallow’s Eve or Halloween, is when evil spirits escape into the world. Over the centuries, several traditions began for protection including that of carving a gourd or pumpkin and placing it at your door with a candle glowing inside to scare the evil spirits away. Costumes also come from this tradition as a way to scare the evil spirits away and protect one’s home and family. The next two days were used as days to remember and honor ancestors very similar to China’s Tomb Sweeping Day.

Today, Americans celebrate Halloween by dressing in costumes and going trick-or-treating. This is when children go from door to door and get rewarded with candy and treats. Pumpkins are carved and placed on doorsteps, and parties are held by young and old alike.

We hope you’ll join us for this exciting Halloween festival on October 31.

TINY ghost—like dolls hang from trees， big plastic spiders sit on rooftops and bloody plastic hands reach out from gravestones…Are you ready for the scariest night of the year？

October 31 is Halloween， one of the most popular festivals in the US， Canada and Britain。 The festival began as a day to remember the dead。 But nowadays its all about the carnival atmosphere when people can enjoy dressing up and scaring each other。

Halloween is one of childrens favourite nights of the year。 They dress up as monsters and go to their neighbourshouses。 Knocking on the door they shout： "Trick or treat！" Of course， usually people give them "treats" － a like sweets and chocolates。 But， if you dont， you can expect a prank such as having your car windows soaped or your garbage cans turned over。

Halloween is also a time for masquerade parties。 Witches fly in on broomsticks， while ghosts and skeletons chat on the dance floor。

You can even dress up as a famous monster like Dracula！ The motto is： "The scarier， the better。" 。”

Even making Halloween food should be like casting a spell or mixing a magic drink。 In Britain， people drink "Witchs Mix"， made with apple， orange， grape and berry juice。 Children also enjoy "Halloween Worms，" made from egg noodles。 And how do you like the sound of "Eye—Balls"？ Dont worry， theyre made with scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream， shaped like human eyes。 Skeleton—shaped cookies are equally popular。

A well—known Halloween tradition is to make lanterns from pumpkins， called "Jack—o—lanterns"。 First， the inside of the pumpkin is removed。 Then， a face is cut into the pumpkin， traditionally a smiling， devil face。 Finally a candle is placed inside， and the lantern is put at the front of the house to keep evil spirits away。

Besides pumpkin cutting， "apple—bobbing" is another popular game。 Several apples are put floating in water in a big bucket。 Children have their hands tied behind their backs。 They have to try to pick the apples out of the water using only their mouths。 Of course， people get very wet and it is very funny to watch。

[美国万圣节英语作文

Miss Qin is my favorite teacher. She teaches us Chinese. She is lovely lady in her thirty-two years old. Her warm smile and black long hair are her symbols. My classmates like her very much, because she is always kind to us. In my view, she is a wise teacher. She tells us many stories to us. It seems she knows everything. Besides, she writes good articles. She tells us if we want to write good articles, we should read books as much as we can. She always cares much about us. I think this is important for a good teacher.

On October 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes(节日服装)knock on their neighbors’ doors and yell "Trick or Treat" when the door opens. Pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks.

Since the 800’s November 1st is a religious holiday known as All Saints’ Day(万圣节). The Mass that was said on this day was called Allhallowmas. The evening before became known as All Hakkiw e’en, or Halloween. Like some other American celebrations, its origins lie in both pre-Christian and Christian customs.

October 31 st was the eve of the Celtic(凯尔特人的)new year. The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish, Welsh and Scottish people. On this day ghosts walked and mingled with the living, or so the Celts thought. The townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the dead. Hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully before midnight of the new year.

Much later, when Christianity spread throughout Ireland and October 31 was no longer the last day of the year, Halloween became a celebration mostly for children. "Ghosts" went from door to door asking for treats, or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house. When millions of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the 1840s the tradition came with them.

Today’ school dances and neighborhood parties called "block parties" are popular among young and old alike. More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures and go to mmasquerade parties(化妆舞会). In larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children.

Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!

Certain pranks(恶作剧)such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world.

Symbols of Halloween

Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying on broomsticks with black cats, ghosts, goblins(小精灵)and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. They are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night. In the weeks before October 31, Americans decorate windows of houses and schools with silhouettes(轮廓)of witches and black cats.

Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color. Carving pumpkins into jack- o’lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland. A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy(吝啬的)that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser(吝啬鬼). He couldn’t enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil. As a result, Jack had to walk the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day(审判日). The Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips(芜菁根), beets(甜菜根)or potatoes representing "Jack of the Lantern," or Jack-o’lantern. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips. Today jack-o’-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies(糖果)waiting if they knock and say "Trick or Treat!"
