在这一天,孩子们会装扮成怪物、鬼怪和巫婆巫师一类的东西。

[图片2]They will go to their neighbours’ houses and knock on their door.
他们会挨家挨户地去敲邻居的门。
When the door is opened, they will shout:”trick or treat?” and the neighbours will give them sweets.
当门打开的时候,他们会说:“trick or treat?”意思就是,给我们糖果,还是让我们捣蛋?这时候,邻居们就会给他们一些糖果。如果邻居没有准备糖果呢?这些孩子们就会搞一些恶作剧来捉弄邻居。
【注:trick or treat 很适合用来进行自然语音的教学,练习tr音以及长短i音。】

故事时间:Jack-o-lantern’s Story编辑
[图片3] Many houses have lanterns made from pumpkins in their windows. These lanterns have frightening faces cut into them. They are called Jack-o-lanterns.
很多家庭会在窗台放上南瓜灯。南瓜灯是用掏空的南瓜做的,在上面挖出一个可怕的脸来。这种灯还有特别的名字,叫Jack-o-lantern。为什么叫Jack呢?这里面有一个有趣的故事。
三明治讲法:
Long long time ago, there was a young man named Jack. [图片] Jack was a rather naughty young man. Jack是一个调皮捣蛋的年轻人。He was very stingy. 他是个小气鬼,不喜欢帮助别人。What did he like? He liked drinking and playing tricks on others. He played tricks on everybody, families, friends and even the Devil.[图片] 他只喜欢两件事:喝酒和捉弄别人。有一天,他甚至去捉弄魔鬼。First he made the Devil climb up a tree[图片], then he carved a cross into the trunk of the tree. 他先把魔鬼骗上了树,然后在树干上划了一个十字,这样魔鬼就不敢下来了。(为什么有了十字魔鬼就不敢下来了呢?因为在基督教里,十字是具有神圣的力量的,魔鬼见了十字就不敢轻举妄动了。)接着Jack就跟魔鬼订了一个协议,让魔鬼答应,在他死以后,不要把他的灵魂带走。"You have to promise not to take my soul when I die."
许多年后,Jack去世了,his soul couldn't go to heaven. 他的灵魂去不了天堂, 因为他不是一个很善良的人。而另外一边呢,his soul couldn't go to hell. 地狱也不要他,为什么?因为他之前让魔鬼答应不带走要他的灵魂。所以Jack就只好成了孤魂野鬼在黑暗中四处飘荡。不过最后,魔鬼还是发了下善心,给他一样东西 a little ember [图片],Jack put this little ember into an empty pumpkin [图片]. Jack就把这一小团火苗放到南瓜灯里让它能够燃久一点。于是每年的万圣节,人们就会做出样子可怕的南瓜灯放在窗口,吓走Jack这样的孤魂野鬼。
【注:tree 和 cross 适合进行自然拼音的练习】
全英文故事:
Long long time ago, there was a young man named Jack. [图片] Jack was a rather naughty young man. He was very stingy. What did he like? He liked drinking and playing tricks on others. He played tricks on everybody, families, friends and even the Devil.[图片] First he made the Devil climb up a tree [图片] , then he carved a cross into the trunk of the tree. So the devil couldn’t come down. And he made a pact with the devil. He said, "If you want to get down, you have to promise not to take my soul when I die."
Now when Jack died, he couldn’t get into heaven, because he was not a very good person;
but he couldn’t get into hell either, because the devil promised not to take his soul.
But finally, the devil gave him a little ember [图片]to help him light his way through the darkness.
Jack put the ember into a pumpkin [图片]to help it burn longer.
This is the story of Jack-o-lantern.
