halloween

one story about jack, an irishman, who was not allowed into heaven because he was stingy with his money. so he was sent to hell. but down there he played tricks on the devil (satan), so he was kicked out of hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

well, irish children made jacks lanterns on october 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having

holes and lit by little candles inside. and irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village halloween festival that honored the druid god muck olla. the irish name for these lanterns was jack with the lantern or jack of the lantern, abbreviated as jack-o-lantern

and now spelled jack-o-lantern.

the traditional halloween you can read about in most books

was just childrens fun night. halloween celebrations would

start in october in every elementary school.children would

make halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paperjack-o-lanterns. and from black paper youd cut scary designs ---an

evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across the moon,

and that meant bad luck. and of course black cats for more bad luck. sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on

the back of the witchs broom. oh! heres a ghost. oh, theres a witch. oh, heres an old lady.

注释：

1. was stingy with：对??吝啬。stingy这个词你可不要去模仿，

因为他是“吝啬的”

意思，要不你可要成为“葛朗台”了！但你可要注意stinggy这个形

容词词是和介词with连用的呀！

2. carrying a lantern：拿着灯笼。这里用carrying作walk的伴随

状语，更生动地说明可怜的jack无论走到哪里手里都要提着灯笼了。好累呀！

3. neighbors houses：邻居的屋子。neighbors本身已经是复数，有一个“s”了。如果表示“邻居的”，就不能加“s”（太累赘），而要

直接加“”了。所以就是neighbors houses。

5. uoll a roll of toilet paper：打开一卷纸。这么多roll，可别怵！roll是“卷、卷起”的意思，a roll of toilet paper是一卷手纸；uoll

则是roll（卷起）的反义词“打开”的意思，所以就是“打开一卷手纸”了！
