Almost Halloween

Almost Halloween

万圣节前夕

October 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st—oh no! There are only five more days until Halloween, and we’re not ready. But we won’t panic: we just need a good plan. Today Dad will drive us to the pumpkin patch. We will search and search. We’ll see pumpkins that are too small. We won’t want those.

10月27日，28日，29日，30日，31日-哦，不！离万圣节只有五天了，我们还没有准备好。但我们不会恐慌：我们只需要一个好的计划。 今天爸爸会开车带我们去南瓜园。我们将不断搜索。我们会看到太小的南瓜。我们不想要这些。

We will also see pumpkins that are funny shaped. We won’t want those either. We will search for the perfect pumpkin. On the twenty-eighth, Mom will help us carve the pumpkin. We will take out the seeds and slimy stuff. Mom will bake the seeds for us. Mmm! We’ll cut out scary eyes, a pointy nose, and a mouth with teeth.

我们还会看到形状有趣的南瓜。我们也不想要这些。我们将寻找完美的南瓜。 28日，妈妈将帮助我们雕刻南瓜。我们会把种子和黏糊糊的东西拿出来。妈妈会为我们烤种子。嗯！ 我们会剪出吓人的眼睛、尖尖的鼻子和长着牙齿的嘴巴。

When we are finished, we’ll have a jack-o’-lantern. He’ll be scary! On the twenty-ninth, we will put up the decorations. We will make witches, moons, black cats, and scary bats. Then we’ll put them in our front windows and door. Dad will bring home a big bundle of hay, and Mom will sit the scarecrow on it.

当我们完成后，我们将有一个南瓜灯。他会很吓人的！ 29日，我们将挂上装饰品。我们将制作女巫、月亮、黑猫和可怕的蝙蝠。 然后我们会把它们放在我们的前门和窗户里。爸爸会带回家一大捆干草，妈妈会把稻草人放在上面。

Then Dad will put a red lightbulb over the door. That will really make our house spooky. On the thirtieth, we will make our costumes. I’m going to be a pirate. I’ll have a patch over my eye, a long sword, and a hook for my left hand. My sister will be a mummy. We will wrap her in white cloth from head to toe.

然后爸爸会在门上放一个红色灯泡。那真的会让我们的房子变得阴森恐怖。 30日，我们将制作服装。我要成为一名海盗。 我的眼睛上会有一块补丁，一把长剑，左手上会有个钩子。 我妹妹将成为木乃伊。我们将从头到脚用白布包裹她。

The last things we will need are two baskets for our candy. October 31st is Halloween. After dinner we will quickly put on our costumes. Mom will paint a black beard on my face. Then Dad will take us out to trick-or-treat. We will have to walk fast because there are so many houses to visit. At each house we will knock on the door and say, “ Trick or treat. ”

我们最不需要的就是两个篮子装糖果。 10月31日是万圣节。晚饭后，我们将迅速穿上我们的服装。妈妈会在我脸上画一个黑胡子。 然后爸爸会带我们出去玩“不给糖就捣蛋”。我们必须走得很快，因为有太多的房子要参观。 在每户人家，我们都会敲门说:“不给糖就捣蛋。”
