5. Ghosts, Goblins, and Ghouls

5 Ghosts, Goblins, and Ghouls "Oob!" we shouted when we came to the next house. "Treat or trick!" The old lady who answered the door was wearing an apron. She held out a big basket full of candy. "You can each take one," she said. "Can I take two?" Ryan asked. "Okay, okay, you can take two," she agreed. "Can I take three?" I asked. "No." That lady was mean. We went up and down Maple Street, grabbing fistfuls of Kit Kats, M&M'S, Smarties, Warheads, Hershey's bars, Jolly

幽灵、妖精和食尸鬼当我们来到下一个房子时，我们喊道：“噢！” “不给糖就捣蛋！”开门的老妇人系着围裙。 她拿出一大篮子糖果。 “你们可以每人拿一个，”她说。 “我能拿两个吗？”瑞恩问道。 “好吧，好吧，你可以吃两片，”她同意了。 “我能拿三个吗？”我问。 “没有。”那位女士很刻薄。我们在枫树街走来走去，抓起一把又一把的奇巧巧克力、M&M巧克力、Smarties巧克力、弹头巧克力、好时巧克力棒和乔利巧克力

Ranchers, Life Savers, Reese's Pieces, York Peppermint Patties, Mounds, Jelly Bellies. Well, you get the idea. I wanted to start eating my candy right away, but Michael and Billy said we should get a whole bunch of candy before we started eating any of it. After we cleaned out all the houses on Maple Street, we moved on to Pine Street. "My pillowcase is getting heavy!" complained Alexia. "Mine too," agreed Neil the nude kid. "I say we should eat some of our candy now," suggested Ryan. "Then our pillowcases won't feel so heavy."

牧场主，救生员，里斯碎，约克薄荷馅饼，土墩，果冻肚皮。 好吧，你懂的。我想马上开始吃我的糖果，但迈克尔和比利说我们应该在开始吃之前买一大堆糖果。 我们把枫树街所有的房子都打扫干净后，就搬到了松树街。 “我的枕套越来越沉了！”亚历克西娅抱怨道。 “我也是，”裸体小孩尼尔同意道。 “我说我们现在应该吃点糖果，”瑞恩建议道。 “这样我们的枕套就不会觉得这么重了。”

What a genius! We could eat candy and lighten our pillowcases at the same time. Ryan should get the No Bell Prize for that idea. That's a prize they give out to people who don't have bells. We stopped on the corner and took a break. I had a Laffy Taffy. Ryan had a Mars bar. Billy had a Snickers. Michael had some Tootsie Rolls. Neil had some Starburst. Yum! I still can't get over the fact that on Halloween people just hand you candy, and you don't even have to pay for it or anything. What a scam! We all agreed that Halloween is the best holiday of all the holidays, and this was the greatest day of our lives. By now the streets were filled with lots of kids out trick-or-treating. We saw some pretty scary-looking costumes. There were kids dressed like ghosts, goblins, ghouls,

真是个天才！我们可以一边吃糖果，一边减轻枕套的重量。 赖安这个主意应该得诺贝尔奖。 那是他们发给没有铃铛的人的奖品。 我们在拐角处停下来休息。 我吃了一个太妃糖。瑞恩吃了一块玛氏巧克力棒。 比利吃了一块士力架。迈克尔吃了一些棒棒糖。 尼尔喝了一些星爆糖。Yum !我还是无法接受在万圣节，人们会直接给你糖果，而你甚至不需要付钱。 真是个骗局！我们都认为万圣节是所有节日中最好的节日，这是我们一生中最伟大的一天。 到现在为止，街上满是玩“不给糖就捣蛋”的孩子。 我们看到了一些看起来很吓人的服装。 孩子们打扮得像鬼、妖精、食尸鬼，

zombies, and hunchbacks. I saw these two kids who were really scary. One of them didn't have a head, and the other one had two heads! That was weird.* But right after that, I saw the most hideous, horrifying creature in the history of the world. It was Andrea Young! Ugh, disgusting! She was walking toward us. And she was with her crybaby friend Emily. Just once I wish I could go someplace without bumping into those two. "I'm a witch Andrea announced as if we couldn't figure it out from the pointy hat broomstick and wart on her nose She spun around so we could see her costume in all its glory. "You look even uglier than usual," I told Andrea.

僵尸，还有驼背。我看到这两个孩子真的很吓人。 其中一个没有头，另一个有两个头！这很奇怪。但就在那之后，我看到了世界历史上最丑陋、最可怕的生物。 是安德里亚·杨！啊,真恶心!她向我们走来。 她和她爱哭的朋友艾米丽在一起。 我真希望我能去个地方，不会碰到他们俩。 “我是个女巫，”安德里亚说，好像我们无法从她的尖帽子、扫帚和鼻子上的疣看出她是女巫似的。她转过身来，好让我们看到她那套华丽的服装。 “你看起来比平时更丑了，”我告诉安德里亚。

"Oh, snap!" said Ryan. "I'm a witch too," said Emily, who always does everything Andrea does. "We're good witches, not bad witches," Andrea informed us. "You should put bread on either side of you," I suggested. "Then you'd be a sandwich." "Very funny, Arlo," Andrea said, rolling her eyes.

“哦，糟了！”瑞恩说。“我也是一个女巫，”艾米丽说，她总是做安德里亚做的每件事。 “我们是好女巫，不是坏女巫，”安德里亚告诉我们。 “你应该把面包放在你的两边，”我建议道。 “那你就是三明治了。” “真有趣，阿乐。”安德烈说，翻了个白眼。

"I'm a mutant zombie pirate," said Ryan. "Arghhhh!" "I'm the underwerewolf!" said Billy. "Grrrrrrrr!" "My mom told me that violent costumes are inappropriate for children," Andrea said. "They could lead to violent behavior." "Your mom is weird I told Andrea "Look," Michael said . "We don't have time to make chitchat with you two. There's a lot of candy out there, and we want to go get it." "Oh, I don't care about getting a lot of candy," Andrea told us. "I'm going to donate any candy I collect to the poor. There are a lot of children who can't afford candy." "They don't have to afford candy!" Alexia said. "It's free!"

“我是一个变种僵尸海盗，”瑞恩说。 “Arghhhh !”“我是地下狼人！”比利说。 “Grrrrrrrr !”“我妈妈告诉我，暴力服装不适合孩子穿，”安德里亚说。 “它们可能导致暴力行为。” “你妈妈很奇怪。”我对安德里亚说，“你看。” “我们没有时间和你们两个聊天。 外面有很多糖果，我们想去拿。” “哦，我不在乎得到很多糖果，”安德里亚告诉我们。 “我要把收集到的糖果捐给穷人。 有很多孩子买不起糖果。” “他们不用买糖果！”亚莉克希亚说。 “它是免费的!”
