LAST autumn my parents were studying in Canada, and brought me over with them. 去年秋天,我的父母在加拿大学习,并把我带过去。 It was soon my birthday. Then came Halloween. Once I asked Mum why there was Halloween. She told me a lot about ghosts. I couldn't remember it all. I just remember that many children put on interesting clothes on that day. They go from door to door and ask for sweets. 很快我的生日。然后是万圣节。有一次我问妈妈为什么有万圣节。她告诉我许多有关鬼。我不记得这一切。我只记得,许多孩子穿上有趣的衣服的那一天。他们挨家挨户索要糖果。 "Sweets are like good words for the dead," Mum told me. "The more the better. They can help the dead go to a better place." “糖果是死的好的话,“妈妈告诉我的。越多越好。他们可以帮助死者去了一个更好的地方。 One day before Halloween, Mum bought me witches' clothes. They were black, with a hat. 万圣节的前一天,妈妈给我买了女巫的衣服。他们是黑色的,带一顶帽子。 The next day, at about 6:30 pm, I went out with my parents. 第二天,大约在下午6点30分,我和我的父母。 It was dark. Many people got together around a house. They were asking for sweets. Lots of children were dressed in different clothes. |
