    美国的儿童节?

    有人说,美国的儿童节到了。
    虽说六一儿童节称指是国际性质的,可是在美国这个号称自由世界的领袖,人类的天堂的国家,许多国际性质的节日都无效,比如五一国际劳动节,三八国际妇女节之类的。于是,美国的小孩,也苦于没有自己的节日而在“水深火热”中。
    然后,一个本与儿童无关,更应该让儿童远离的节日,逐渐被“现代化”成了今天儿童快乐的日子。
    今年可好了,因为遇上周末,更可以借由周末而快乐大方。
    什么节日?Halloween(万圣节)。
    一进入十月,南瓜就开始占领美国了。大大小小的,各式各样的,恶心的,吓人的,恐怖的,然后加持了许多诸如蜘蛛网,人骨之类的,让“万圣节”彻底从优雅但而不能顾名思意的名字形象化成真实的名副其实的“鬼节”。南瓜,我突然想起了《士兵突击》里的“南瓜”,为什么他们要用南瓜来描述我这样的?南瓜是这个节日最大的道具,尤其是雕刻成各式各样的鬼样。
    除了南瓜,自然还有小孩参与的节目,即Trick Or Treat(不给好吃的就要你好看)。“好吃的”就不说了,各式的糖果罢了;“好看的”呢?主要以扔鸡蛋为主,如果是臭鸡蛋,当然更“好看”了。我过去实验室里的小老板有两个女儿,所以万圣节一过,实验室里就有许多糖果,足足可以一直吃到接下来的大节日(感恩节)。
