随着万圣节临近，商家陆续推出相关主题产品，无论是服装、道具，还是主题活动一应俱全。不过，有关万圣节的打扮还是引发了争议。
近日，微博上流传着这样的视频，在广州某地铁站安检点，一波旅客被要求卸妆，他们脸上基本上都有“血迹”。安检人员给出的解释是，这样的妆容可能会吓到其他乘客。
Video footage posted on Weibo showed a number of people dabbing their faces next to a metro security checkpoint. Subway authorities have since stated that the people featured in the video had fake blood on their faces and were asked to remove it following concerns of startling other passengers.
据报道，视频中的事件发生在广州汉溪长隆地铁站。工作人员要求为万圣节狂欢做准备的旅客，在通过安检前卸妆。
Transit workers at the city's Hanxi Changlong Station had asked pre-Halloween revelers to wipe off their makeup before being allowed to pass security checks. revelers /'revələ/：欢宴者，狂欢者
视频引发了网友们的激烈讨论，微博热搜阅读上亿。
22日，广州地铁官方回复，此举旨在防止引发其他旅客惊慌，特别要求的是卸掉类似恶鬼、女巫一类的妆容。
The Guangzhou metro said on Monday that it was only trying to prevent passengers from panicking after asking some ghouls and witches to remove their Halloween makeup. ghoul /ɡuːl/：盗墓食尸鬼
工作人员表示，有些乘客的妆容过于恐怖，所以给了他们这样的建议，而且其中大部分乘客都同意了。
"Some of the passengers' makeup was really scary so we advised them to remove their makeup. Most of the passengers agreed," a staffer with the metro station said on Monday.
据了解，广州汉溪长隆地铁站靠近长隆欢乐世界，而该乐园正在做有关万圣节活动的预热。
Hanxi Changlong Station is near the ChimeLong Paradise amusement park, where Halloween activities are being held in a warm-up to the festival.
为了方便大家卸妆，地铁站工作人员还表示，他们为旅客提供了卸妆油。
"We provided some makeup remover for the passengers," one staff member said.
广州地铁的卸妆要求还是得到了不少网友的理解：
相关投票也一定程度上反映出网友的意见：
当然，微博上也有不同的声音，有网友就认为，大部分人都能区别开万圣节妆容与真正的血迹，所以不会造成恐慌。
"I think most people can tell the difference between real blood and makeup, this kind of makeup isn't going to cause a major panic," said another.
实际上，这也不是广州地铁第一次因为化妆事件上热搜了。今年3月10日，有网友在微博上爆料，自己因为“哥特”妆容而被安检拦下。
该网友放出了自己的眼妆和唇妆：
事件同样引发关注，也有网友Po出类似经历。一天后，广州地铁官方微博作出回应：如给您造成不便很抱歉，小编已提醒业务部门注意。
3月16日，广州地铁正式对此事致歉：表示将深刻检讨反思，推动工作改进；并向受影响的当事人道歉。
The Guangzhou Metro apologised on March 16, admitting an "improper handling" of the situation. "We are deeply remorseful and strive to improve," the operator said in a post on Weibo, "At the same time, we apologise to the affected user."
据观察者网报道，除了广州，北京、上海等地也对进地铁的乘客的穿着有所要求。2015年，北京市交通部门相关负责人在解读《北京市轨道交通运营安全条例》时就表示，对于地铁里乘客穿奇装异服、画恐怖妆以及快闪等行为，《条例》中虽没有明确禁止，但这种行为可能会造成安全隐患，一经发现，执法人员将进行劝阻。
