【留美日記】舉目期待萬(wàn)圣節(jié)
本文圖片摘自:
Getting decked out in full costume for Halloween can be a daunting task. Slip on the Ask Me About My Zombie Shirt and get more attention than those who put in a whole lot more effort. For who could resist asking you? They may or may not regret that they did, but hey, it’s Halloween.
很快就要到Halloween了。事實(shí)上,早在兩個(gè)月前,超市就已經(jīng)開(kāi)始賣塑料南瓜燈,吸血鬼裝扮,血液袋糖漿,眼珠巧克力,斷手指軟糖……現(xiàn)在這段將近的時(shí)間里,超市里的各種糖果都在打折,為了小孩子們敲響房門說(shuō)“treat or trick"的時(shí)候,主人可以毫不吝嗇的抓出一大把糖果放在他們的袋子里。
每年的Halloween游行是必不可少的節(jié)目。你可以選擇在路邊做觀眾,不必裝扮,也可以穿上喜歡的costume,歡快的加入在五顏六色,創(chuàng)意無(wú)限的人群里。
現(xiàn)在的costume并沒(méi)有那么局限在恐怖嚇人的內(nèi)容范圍,很多女生會(huì)裝扮成護(hù)士,兔女郎,貓女等等性感無(wú)敵的角色,今年還有特別的Iron Man套裝,去年最流行的是MJ的黑禮貌,大墨鏡和白手套。其實(shí)許多美國(guó)人心靈手巧,總是會(huì)親手縫制自己的costume,談起來(lái)總是神采飛揚(yáng),驕傲無(wú)比。個(gè)人創(chuàng)意和流行元素給這個(gè)游行的夜晚增加許多情趣。
作為笨手笨腳的中國(guó)留學(xué)生,看到店里出售的日本和服costume,決定穿上隨身帶來(lái)卻一直沒(méi)有場(chǎng)合穿著的旗袍,裝一次民國(guó)時(shí)代,雙目流血的女鬼。
下面是對(duì)Halloween的詳細(xì)講述,我們一起來(lái)更全面的了解這個(gè)有趣的西方節(jié)日吧!
Halloween
Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saints' Day, but is today largely a secular celebration.
Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, committing pranks, telling ghost stories or other frightening tales, and watching horror films.
