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:呜!
莫莉:啊,你吓到我了。你叫得像鬼一样。
戈登:我故意的。
莫莉:你不应该吓唬人,那样很粗鲁,不是吗?
戈登:可是现在快到万圣节了,在万圣节吓唬对方是很有意思的。
莫莉:不是10月31日才是万圣节吗?
戈登:实际上很多人一整个月都在庆祝这个节日。他们穿成鬼怪的样子,开晚会,玩trick or treat游戏。
莫莉:什么是Trick or Treat?
戈登:坐下来我慢慢给你解释。
