1. trick or treat 不给糖就捣乱
Trick-or-treating is a customary [习惯上的] celebration for children on Halloween. Children go in costume [特定的服装] from house to house asking for treats such as candy or sometimes money with the question "Trick or treat?" The word "trick" refers to "threat" to perform mischief [恶作剧] on the homeowners or their property [所有物] if no treat is given.
“不给糖就捣乱”是孩子们在万圣节惯用的庆祝方式。孩子们穿着奇装异服,挨家挨户要糖吃,有时候也会要钱,问房主:“想要我捣乱还是给糖吃?”“捣乱”这个词的意思是“威胁”,如果不给糖,就要对房主或房主的房屋或财产搞恶作剧。
注释:trick or treat押头韵,读起来朗朗上口,类似的例子还有safe and sound(安然无恙),black and blue(青一块紫一块),rules and regulations(规章制度)等等。
2. dress up as 穿成……的样子
3. jack-o'-lantern 杰克南瓜灯
carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns 把南瓜掏成杰克南瓜灯
注释:jack-o'-lantern的发音是/ˌdʒæk.əˈlæn.tən/。
