64 Halloween Party

We're having a Halloween party at school.

I'm dressed up like Dracula. Man, I look cool!

I made my hair black and I cut off my bangs.

I'm wearing a cape¹ and some fake plastic fangs³.

I put on some makeup⁴ to paint my face white,

Like creatures that only come out in the night.

My fingernails, too, are all pointed⁵ and red.

There's no doubt I look like the evil undead.

My mom drops me off and I run into school,

And suddenly feel like the world's biggest fool.

The other kids stare like I'm some kind of freak.

The Halloween party is not'sil next week.

bang 刘海 cape 斗篷 plastic 塑料的 fang² 尖牙 makeup 化妆品 creature 生灵

fingernail 手指甲 pointed 尖的 evil 恶魔 undead 未死的，不死的

drop off （让）……下车 stare 瞪着 freak 怪物

万圣节晚会

我们将在学校举办一个万圣节晚会。

我装扮成吸血鬼的样子。看，我多酷！

我把我的头发染成黑色，剪去刘海，

我穿上斗篷和戴上假的塑料尖牙。

我用化妆品把脸涂白，

像那些仅在夜里出世的生灵。

我的手指甲也是尖的，红色的。

毫无疑问我看上去就像个不死的恶魔。

母亲让我下了车，我冲进了学校，

突然我感觉自己像是世界上最大的傻子。

其他的孩子像看怪物一样地瞪着我，

万圣节晚会要到下星期才开始呢。
