用英语学英语口语:Halloween/万圣节口语训练
“万圣节”用英语怎么说?
我们可以说英语单词:Halloween
我们也可以说它的“英语意思”:
1:Well Halloween is a public holiday in many countries like the USA,the UK.
2:Children will say "trick or treat" to their neighbors on Halloween night when they vistthem house-to-house.
3:When they say TREAT,they are asking their neighbors for candy or cookies.That 's atreat.
When they say TRICK,they mean if you don't give me a treat(give me candy orcookies),I'm going to play a trick on you/play mischief on you.
A public holiday is a holiday when all schools and government offices are closed.
有人可能还对“美国”的表达容易混淆,有好几种说法:the USA(带the)=the U.S.(有“点”就有the)=US(无the无“点”就没有A)=America=the States=The United States of America(全程称,字面即:美洲联合州)
今后对Halloween的记忆,不仅仅是中文“万圣节”,还要有上面的英语。
对于Trick or treat,我们甚至可以把它和另外一句英语联系起来记忆:
Well Trick or treat is something like Money or Life(要钱还是要命)
