难忘的“鬼节”经历 Halloween? 11月的第一天是西方传统的万圣节，也称“鬼节”，而10月31日之夜就是著名的万圣节前夜了。这一天，孩子们都会兴高采烈地穿上五颜六色的化妆服，甚至还会戴上千奇百怪的面具，将自己打扮得“鬼模鬼样”，为这个节日平添了许多乐趣。本文小作者为大家讲述了最让她难忘的一次“鬼节”经历…… Growing up, I always felt a great animosity[2] towards the holiday Halloween. Why you ask? Long story short, I was so easily scared, that it wasn抰 even funny (okay, looking back on it, maybe it was a little funny). However, even though I was scared, I still had to try and hide it and pretend that I wasn抰 scared so that I wouldn抰 become a target of Halloween pranks[3]. Yep, that was the complicated life of a pre-adolescent scaredy cat.[4] Out of all the years of this, probably the most memorable was the Halloween of 2006. Here抯 the story. 在我成长的这些年里，我一直都对万圣节怀有一种强烈的憎恶感。你会问为什么？长话短说吧，我太容易被吓到了，而且这一点都不好玩（好吧，现在回想起来，还算有点意思）。不过，即便我感到很害怕，也必须努力隐藏这个弱点，装作不害怕，这样我才不会成为万圣节前夕恶作剧的目标。是的，这就是一个青春期之前的胆小鬼的复杂生活。在所有万圣节前夜的经历中，最令人难忘的就是2006年了。故事是这样的。 My day started out normal, or at least as normal as it can get on Halloween morning.

As soon as the clock struck 8, the door slammed shut and we heard a horrible cackling[6] voice. “Hello my children!?said the voice. It came from a woman in a black robes and a pointy hat. Her skin was green and she had warts all over her face. It took me a few minutes to realize that this was actually my teacher, Mrs. Roberson. Thankfully, after the long speech of how she was not Mrs. Roberson, she turned the lights back on and let us work on crossword puzzles. 当我走进教室时，所有的灯都熄灭了，四处不见老师的身影。钟表一敲响8点，门就砰地关上了，我们听到一个恐怖而急促的声音说道：“你们好啊，我的孩子们！”声音出自一个穿黑袍、戴尖帽的女人，她的皮肤是绿色的，脸上还长满了疣子。我花了几分钟时间才认出她其实就是我的老师——罗伯逊夫人。所幸的是，她在发表了一大段自己不是罗伯逊夫人的讲话后，便重
