Halloween Fun (2) |
|
| |
萬聖節痛快玩（2） |
|
| |
|
|
| |
After school on Halloween, children hurry home. At night, it's time for trick-or-treating. Small children go with parents, but older children usually go with friends. Wearing costumes, they go to houses and shout, "Trick or treat!" Most people give them candy, but some will give fruit or toothbrushes instead. |
|
| |
At the end of the night, children return home. Some will even count their candy and guard it. After eating some candy, it's time to sleep. Next year, they can do it all over again! |

萬聖節那天放學後，孩子們趕回家。到了晚上，就是玩「不給糖就搗蛋」的時間了。小一點的孩子和父母一起去，大一點的孩子則和朋友一起去。他們做各式各樣的變裝，挨家挨戶地喊：「不給糖就搗蛋！」大部份的人會給糖果，有些人則給水果或是牙刷。 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
夜晚結束時，孩子們回家，有些人甚至會算自己的糖果並且守著糖果不放。吃了一些糖果之後，該睡覺了。明年，他們就可以再玩一次！ |
