First Halloween — Neighbor Explains · 第一次过万圣节
basicHey there! I noticed you just moved in. So, are you ready for Halloween tonight?
嘿!我注意到你刚搬来。今晚万圣节你准备好了吗?
Um, honestly? I'm not really sure what to expect. This is my first Halloween in America.
嗯,说实话?我不太确定该期待什么。这是我在美国过的第一个万圣节。
Oh, no worries! So basically, kids in costumes will come knock on your door and say 'trick or treat.' You just give them candy. That's it!
哦,别担心!基本上就是穿着服装的小朋友来敲你的门说'trick or treat'。你给他们糖果就行了。就这么简单!
Oh, that sounds fun! But wait — do I need to buy special candy? And how do kids know which houses to go to?
哦,听起来挺好玩的!但是等等——我需要买特别的糖果吗?小朋友怎么知道去哪家?
Any candy works — the fun-size bags from Costco or Target are perfect. And here's the thing: if your porch light is on, that means you're participating. Light off means 'skip this house.'
什么糖都行——Costco或Target的迷你装糖果就很完美。关键是这样的:如果你门廊灯开着,就表示你参与。灯关着就是'别来这家'。
💡 门廊灯开着=欢迎来敲门。准备好糖果,夸小朋友的costume。万圣节是美国邻里社交的重要机会。
Got it! Actually wait — should I decorate my house too? I see some neighbors put up spider webs and stuff.
明白了!等一下——我也需要装饰房子吗?我看有些邻居挂了蜘蛛网之类的。
Totally optional. Some people go all out with fog machines and everything, and some just put out a jack-o'-lantern. But honestly? Just having the light on and candy ready is enough. Kids don't care.
完全看你心情。有些人搞雾机什么的大阵仗,有些人就放个南瓜灯。但说实话?开灯准备好糖果就够了。小朋友们不在乎这些。
This is so helpful. One more thing — are there any things I should NOT do? I really don't want to accidentally offend anyone.
这太有帮助了。还有一件事——有什么不该做的吗?我真的不想不小心冒犯到谁。
Hmm, just don't give out fruit or homemade stuff — parents get weird about that. Stick with sealed, store-bought candy. Oh, and compliment the kids' costumes! They love that. Just say 'Great costume!' or 'Wow, so scary!' It makes their night.
嗯,就是别发水果或自制的东西——家长会觉得不安全。坚持用密封的、商店买的糖果。哦,还有记得夸小朋友的服装!他们超爱的。就说'Great costume!'或者'Wow, so scary!'能让他们开心一晚上。
Perfect, I'm heading to Target right now to grab candy. Thanks so much for explaining all this — I was honestly a little nervous about it!
太好了,我现在就去Target买糖果。太感谢你解释这些了——我说实话之前有点紧张!
Handing Out Candy · 开门发糖互动
basicTrick or treat!
不给糖就捣蛋!
💡 这是万圣节的固定台词。小朋友说完这句话,你就往他们的袋子或南瓜桶里放糖果。
Happy Halloween! Oh wow, look at you guys! Let me guess... a dinosaur, a princess, and — wait, are you Spider-Man?
万圣节快乐!哇,看看你们!让我猜猜...一个恐龙,一个公主,还有——等等,你是蜘蛛侠吗?
💡 主动猜小朋友的服装角色会让他们特别开心。即使猜错了,他们也会很兴奋地纠正你。
No, I'm Miles Morales! He's the BEST Spider-Man!
不对,我是Miles Morales!他是最棒的蜘蛛侠!
Of course! Miles Morales — even cooler! Great costume. Here you go, take two each!
当然!Miles Morales——更酷!很棒的服装。给你们,每人拿两个!
Thank you! Happy Halloween!
谢谢!万圣节快乐!
Happy Halloween! Have fun tonight! Stay safe out there!
万圣节快乐!今晚玩得开心!注意安全!
Thanks so much! Are you new to the neighborhood? I don't think I've seen you around before.
太感谢了!你是新搬来的吗?我之前好像没见过你。
Yeah, we just moved in about a month ago. I'm Wei. This is actually our first Halloween — my neighbor helped me figure out what to do, haha.
是的,我们大概一个月前搬来的。我叫Wei。这其实是我们第一次过万圣节——邻居帮我搞清楚了该怎么做,哈哈。
Welcome to the neighborhood, Wei! Well, you're doing great — the kids loved it. We're having a block party next weekend if you want to come. It's a great way to meet everyone.
欢迎来到社区,Wei!你做得很好——小朋友们很开心。我们下周末有个街区聚会,你要不要来?是认识大家的好机会。
That sounds amazing, I'd love to! Should I bring anything? And thanks for the invite — it really means a lot.
听起来太棒了,我很想去!需要我带什么吗?谢谢你的邀请——这对我来说真的意义很大。
