How to Celebrate Halloween
Gordon: Boo!
Molly: Ahh, you scared me. You sounded just like a ghost!
Gordon: That was my plan.
Molly: You shouldn't scare people, that is rude. Right?
Gordon: But it is almost Halloween. It is fun to scare each other on this fun holiday.
Molly: Isn't Halloween only on October 31?
Gordon: Actually many creative people use the entire month of October to celebrate, get dressed up like a monster, have parties and trick or treat.
Molly: What is Trick or Treat?
Gordon: Sit back and let me explain.
戈登:嗚!
莫莉:啊,你嚇到我了。你叫得像鬼一樣。
戈登:我故意的。
莫莉:你不應(yīng)該嚇唬人,那樣很粗魯,不是嗎?
戈登:可是現(xiàn)在快到萬圣節(jié)了,在萬圣節(jié)嚇唬對方是很有意思的。
莫莉:不是10月31日才是萬圣節(jié)嗎?
戈登:實際上很多人一整個月都在慶祝這個節(jié)日。他們穿成鬼怪的樣子,開晚會,玩trick or treat游戲。
莫莉:什么是Trick or Treat?
戈登:坐下來我慢慢給你解釋。

Gordon: Boo!
Molly : I wasn't scared at all.
Gordon: It is hard to trick you.
Molly : No trick, no treat, maybe next time.
Gordon: Are you going to the party tonight? I heard they will have bobbing for apples and a costume party.
Molly : I may go as a vampire.
Gordon: Great! I will go as a male vampire then we can be Mr. and Mrs. Vampire.
Molly : In your dreams. You should dress up a wolf-man.
Gordon: Why?
Molly : Because you are already so hairy! You look like a wolf. Wow, and your teeth are so big, just like your hairy nose!
Gordon: You just wait until we are around the fire tonight. I will tell a scary story that will shake everyone with fear.
Molly : I hope you won't just tell another story about some old ghost.
Gordon: No, I will tell the story of how a vampire was eaten by a wolf on Halloween...boo!
