2016关于万圣节的英语故事(中英文对照)
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 jack's lanterns on october 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides
start in october in every elementary school.
the sky on the back of the witch's broom.
afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy. one popular teen-agers' halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper. the paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off. no real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. one kind of halloween mischief.
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。

4. come to the door：应门。

“走到门前面”自然就是要来开门看看是哪些小调皮在捣乱啦！
5. unroll 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；unroll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！
