2017-10-30 Yee君 译·世界

一年一度的万圣节要来啦!终于可以扮成你心仪的鬼,去吓一吓你爱的人或不爱的人了~当然你也可以借着这个时机和家人朋友“增进”一下感情,比如参加万圣节主题活动、造访鬼屋、做南瓜灯、制作恐怖“礼物”、看鬼片等。下面就随Yee君来看看,如何让这个节日过得既活色生香又生动难忘,反正Yee君打算继续本色出演“穷鬼”…


Method 1  Having a Party

方法一:举行派对



1. Have everyone wear a costume. Part of the fun of Halloween is dressing up. If you're hosting a party, invite all your guests to wear costumes. If you want, you can even have a contest where guests win different categories like "Scariest Costume," "Funniest Costume," and so on.

让每个人都穿上万圣节服装。万圣节的一大乐趣就是乔装打扮。如果你打算举行派对,邀请你的客人穿着万圣节服装前来参加。你还可以搞一场比赛,从不同的服装类型中评选出“最恐怖服装”“最搞笑服装”等等。


You can have a specific theme and have guests dress for that theme. For example, try a sci-fi Halloween party.

可以设一个特定主题,让客人穿着符合这个主题的服装,比如科幻万圣节派对等。


Remember, not everyone likes dressing up. If guests don't want to wear a costume, don't push it.

记住,并不是每个人都喜欢扮装。如果有客人不想穿的话,也不要勉强。



2. Bob for apples. Bobbing for apples is a classic Halloween tradition that many people love. Simply place some apples in a bucket of water and have guests try to lift them out with their mouths. This can be fun if you want a more lighthearted holiday party instead of something scary.

咬苹果游戏。咬苹果游戏是受众人喜爱的一个万圣节经典传统游戏。游戏非常简单,在一桶水里放入苹果,让客人用嘴巴将苹果咬起即可。如果你想要轻松愉快而不是恐怖氛围的节日派对,这个游戏会很有趣。



3.Watch scary movies. If you want, you can have a movie screening at your party. Show your favorite scary movies that are perfect for the season, like The Exorcist, The Sixth Sense, and films from the Halloween franchise.

看恐怖电影。你可以在万圣节派对上播放电影。从你最爱的恐怖电影中找出适合这个节日播放的,比如《驱魔人》《灵异第六感》以及万圣节系列电影。


If you're serving alcohol at your party, have a drinking game where guests have to drink for a variety of reasons. For example, "Drink every time someone screams." Make sure to drink responsibly, however, and stop drinking if you start to feel dizzy or disoriented.

如果你的派对提供酒水的话,可以玩饮酒游戏,制定一些饮酒规则,比如“一旦某人尖叫的时候就得喝酒。”但要保证适度饮酒,如果你开始感到头晕、不清醒的话就要停止喝酒。



4. Play spooky music. Make a spooky playlist with disturbing songs like "Somebody's Watching Me" and the theme music from Halloween classics. Something like the theme to Rosemary's Baby can really set the mood.

放阴森恐怖的音乐。制作一个恐怖歌曲播放列表,如《有人在看着我》以及万圣节经典主题音乐。《罗斯玛丽的婴儿》主题曲这类音乐真的能够营造恐怖氛围。


Keep in mind, not everything about a Halloween party has to be scary. You can also play lighthearted Halloween favorites, like the theme to Ghostbusters or "The Monster Mash."

记住,万圣节派对不一定都得是恐怖的。你还可以播放轻松愉快的万圣节音乐收藏夹,比如主题曲《超能敢死队》或《怪物马什》。



5. Serve Halloween-themed punch. Make a spooky punch by mixing together dark juices, like fizzy red pop or blackberry juice, to create a punch that looks something like blood. You can also add "eyeballs" by stuffing blackberries into lychee berries and placing them in the punch so they bob on the surface.

提供万圣节主题宾治酒。将红色汽水或黑莓果汁等深色果汁混在一起,做成一杯看起来像鲜血的恐怖宾治酒。还可以把黑莓塞进荔枝果实,做成“眼球”放入宾治酒,让其在水面浮动。


If you're serving alcohol at your party, consider spiking the punch with a liquor like vodka or rum. Just make sure guests drink responsibly.

如果你的派对提供酒水,可以考虑在宾治酒中加点伏特加、朗姆酒等。确保客人适度饮酒。



6. Provide Halloween treats. There are a wide variety of treats you can provide for the event. You can provide classic candy that's often handed out to trick or treaters, like small candy bars. You can also try making your own Halloween-themed baked goods. For example, make cutout cookies in shapes like pumpkins or cats and frost them with orange and black frosting.

提供万圣节招待品。招待品的种类十分丰富,除了传统上给捣蛋鬼们发小糖块之类的糖果,还可以自制万圣节主题的烘焙食品,比如,制作南瓜或猫形状的饼干,外面包裹橙色或黑色的糖霜。


Be sure to provide healthy snacks, like fruits and veggies, for more health conscious guests.

切记要为特别注重健康的客人提供健康的小食,如水果和蔬菜。



7. Welcome in the trick-or-treaters throughout the night. If you live in a residential area, you may get some trick-or-treaters throughout the night. Have a bowl of candy on hand and give a few pieces of candy to anyone that comes to your door.

晚上准备迎接捣蛋鬼。如果你住在居民区,或许整晚都会遇到捣蛋鬼,在手边准备一碗糖果,有捣蛋鬼上门时给他们一些。


If you have any pets, it's a good idea to lock them up before trick-or-treaters arrive.

如果家有宠物,最好在捣蛋鬼到来之前把宠物拴好。

Method 2  Decorating for Halloween

方法2  为万圣节装饰起来



1. Carve pumpkins. You can buy pumpkins at the supermarket around Halloween. Cut open the top, remove the seeds and pulp from the insides, and cut out fun shapes or faces onto the sides of the pumpkins. Place a candle on the bottom of the pumpkin and light it to create an eerie, glowing pumpkin.

雕刻南瓜。万圣节临近的时候去超市买些南瓜,在顶上开个口,去掉内部的籽和瓤,在外面刻上搞笑的形状或面容。在南瓜底部放一根蜡烛并点燃,就得到一个怪诞发光的南瓜灯。


If you're carving pumpkins with young children, do not let them handle knives. Instead, have them draw faces on the pumpkins and then cut them out yourselves.

如果和小孩一起雕刻南瓜,不要让他们操刀,可以让他们在南瓜上画脸形图案,然后由你来刻。



2. Hang up fake spiderwebs. You can buy fake spiderwebs at most department stores around the Halloween season. Place the webs in areas like staircases and the corners of ceilings to give your home a spooky look.

挂上假的蜘蛛网。万圣节临近之时,在大部分百货商店都可以买到假蜘蛛网。把这些蜘蛛网挂在楼梯、天花板角落等地方,为你家增添一丝诡异的气氛。


You can also add a few rubber spiders to the webs for an extra scary look.

还可以在蜘蛛网上放几只橡胶蜘蛛,看上去就更惊悚了。



3. Make a ghost candy stand. Take a large glass or plastic bowl and place it on an end table. Drape a white sheet over the bowl and then fill the bowl with candy. The sheet should fall down around the bowl and over the table. Cut out pieces of felt, or a similar material, into the shape of eyes and a mouth and pin them somewhere on the sheet so it looks like a ghost.

制作一个幽灵糖果摊。在茶几上放一个大玻璃碗或塑料碗,在碗上铺一条白床单,然后在碗里装满糖果,让床单从碗和茶几的四周垂下。用毛毡或类似材料剪出眼睛和嘴的形状,把它们粘在床单上,这样看起来就像个幽灵。



4. Make a mummy door. A simple way to decorate is to make a mummy door. Simply string toilet paper or white crepe paper along your door. Then, make two eyes out of construction paper and tape them on the door so it looks like a mummy.

制作一扇木乃伊门。这是一种简单粗暴的装饰方式,只需把厕纸或白色皱纸缠在门上,然后用绘图纸做成两个眼睛贴在门上,使之看上去像个木乃伊。



5. Decorate with balloon ghosts. Blow up a balloon and then place it in a white garbage bag. Twist the bag around the end of the balloon and secure it on with a rubber band. Use a marker to draw eyes and a mouth on the balloon for a spooky Halloween decoration.

用幽灵气球装饰。把吹好的气球放在白色垃圾袋里,用橡皮筋把它和气球的一端固定好。用马克笔在气球上画出眼睛和嘴,做成吓人的万圣节装饰物。

Method 3  Participating in Halloween Events

方法三:参加万圣节活动



1. Go trick or treating. If you have small children, or are still young enough yourself, trick-or-treating can be fun. Go from house to house with a bucket or bag and ask for collect candy from neighbors. This is a fun way to show off costumes and indulge in some Halloween treats.

参加“不给糖就捣乱”游戏。如果你家有小朋友,或者你还年轻,“不给糖就捣乱”是一个有趣的选择。带着桶或者袋子挨家挨户串,问邻居要糖果。这也是一个显摆万圣节装扮和享用万圣节食物的好方法。


Practice basic safety precautions, however. Stick to residential areas where most people are still awake and inspect all your candy before eating it.

不过,要注意采取基本的安全措施。一定要去大多数人还没睡的街区,并且在吃糖果之前,要检查一下。


Remember, not everyone is open to trick-or-treaters. Make sure you don't go to houses if the lights are off. A lack of decorations may also indicate someone does not want to participate.

记住,不是每个人都接受“不给糖就捣乱”游戏。不要去关着灯的人家。如果缺少装饰品也很可能表示这个人不想参与游戏。



2. Visit a haunted house. See if there are any haunted houses in your areas. As Halloween is meant to be a scary holiday, get a group of friends together to go to a haunted house. This can be a fun way to get a little scared and still mark the event.

去鬼屋。看看你家附近有没有鬼屋。万圣节就是一个让人害怕的节日,组织一帮朋友去鬼屋看看吧。这是个非常有趣的玩法,既能让你受点儿小惊吓,又能让你的节日过得有纪念意义。


However, keep in mind not everyone likes haunted houses. Don't force anyone to go if they're not interested. Some people may genuinely get scared.

不过,要记住不是所有人都喜欢鬼屋。如果对方不感兴趣,不要强迫他们去。有些人可能真的会被吓到。



3. Look for screenings at local movie theaters. Movie theaters may do events for Halloween. They may screen Halloween classics or offer free or discounted tickets. Do an online search to see if there are any special events at local theaters for Halloween.

去当地影院看电影。电影院可能会搞万圣节活动,可能会放映万圣节经典影片,也可能供应免费或打折的电影票。上网查查当地影院是否为万圣节准备了特别活动。



4. Take a ghost tour. Look online to see if your area offers ghost tours. A guided tour through your hometown's most haunted sites can be a great way to make the most of Halloween.

参加幽灵之旅。上网查查当地有没有幽灵之旅。加入一个经过你家乡最恐怖地点的旅行线路是充分体验万圣节的绝佳方式。


Ghost tours may fill up fast during the holiday season, so get your tickets well ahead of time.

节日期间可能会有很多人报名参加旅游,所以要提前买好票。
