Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1
Holly: What a great haunted house idea---the Haunted Woods! Jack did a great job.
Alicia: Yes, I love it! And we have to take a golf cart!
Holly: Kinda spooky, huh? I hope nothing big jumps out at us.
Alicia: I wouldn't count on that. Brian said to expect the unexpected!
Holly: Well, it's definitely dark and creepy in here.
Alicia: Yeah, it's giving me the creeps. I keep seeing things moving out there behind the trees.
Brian: I heard that a prison escapee roams these woods!
Holly: Knock it off, Brian! You're just trying to get us screaming!
Brian: This isn't scary. But I bet you girls will scream if something jumps out!
Alicia: Brian! Something just moved up there in front of us!
Brian: Don't worry, Alicia, I'll protect you.
Holly: Keep your eyes on where you're going!
Brian: Ahh! A werewolf!
讲解：
1. Alicia，Holly 和 Brian来到了他们的朋友Jack专门为万圣节布置好的鬼森林，就是Haunted Woods. haunted这个词表示“闹鬼的，鬼魂出没的，受到折磨的”，例如：They live in a haunted house. 他们住的房子闹鬼。这个次经常出现在恐怖电影里，在万圣节当然也是必不可少的了。
2. Jack布置的这个鬼森林看起来真的很恐怖，很有节日气氛，所以holly夸他He did a great job. 当你夸奖别人做的好时，就可以用这个句型，还可以说Good job! 或者You did a good job! Alicia也非常喜欢这个鬼森林，还要坐着高尔夫球车穿越森林。Holly觉得这个鬼森林有点恐怖，她说：Kinda spooky, I hope nothing big jumps out at us. 挺恐怖的吧，我希望没有什么庞然大物会朝我们跳过来。kinda，口语的说法，就是 kind of，有一点。spooky，幽灵般的, 怪异的, 神经质的。
3. Alicia可不敢说，I wouldn't count on that. count on something，这个词组，表示依靠...指望...比如说：You can count on me. 就表示“你可以相信我。” Brian说 to expect the unexpected! 等着看一些意外的事情，the unexpected，意外的事件。下面有出现了一个表示“可怕，恐怖”这个意思的词，creepy，表示“令人毛骨悚然的”。creep是它的名词形式，原意是“蹑手蹑脚”，也可以用来表示可怕，心惊肉跳。比如我们可以说 He gave me the creeps. 他吓得我心惊肉跳。
4. Alicia觉得很害怕，说她一直看到树后面有东西跑出来。Brian这时有添油加醋地说听说有个越狱的人在这片树林里游荡。a prison escapee，越狱的犯人，roam，漫无目的地四处游荡。Holly 被吓到了，赶忙让Brian闭嘴，她是这么说的，knock it off! 表示“住口，停下来”。只要有人发出令人讨厌的声音，说了讨厌的话，做了讨厌的动作，都可以说knock it off 来让对方停止。
5. Brian就是想吓唬吓唬那两个女生。这时Alicia看到有东西在他们前面晃来晃去的，up there in front of us，在我们正前方。Brian劝她不要担心，说会保护她的。Holly提醒Brian注意看路，keep you eyes on where you're going! keep one's eyes on something/someone，注意，监视某人某物。突然什么东西撞到了他们的高尔夫球车上，也吓了Brian一跳，原来是狼人，也就是werewolf。[page]
Dialogue Script 2 对话原文 2
Alicia: Wow! Holly! Your place is totally decked out for Halloween. It's cool!
Holly: That's because we're having a party here later tonight, squirt!
Alicia: Can I stay up?
Holly: We'll see! You'll probably be on a big sugar high anyway.
Alicia: Hee-hee! Yeah! I hope your neighbors give out good candy.
Holly: They will when they see what a scary witch you are. I love your fake nose and warts.
Alicia: Dad bought them for me. And these, too. They're my slimy plastic toads.
Holly: Ew! Uh, I think you should flash those at anyone who tries to give junk candy.
Alicia: Hah! This will be so much fun! This costume's much cooler than the pink ballerina costume mom made last year.
Holly: Yes, but you need a witch's laugh. Try this---Yihahaha!
Alicia: Or this "I'll get you, my pretty! Wahahaha!"
Holly: Sounds like you're a natural.
讲解：
1. Alicia来到Holly家参加万圣节派对，还穿上了万圣节服装。万圣节的服装是Halloween Costume，记住了，而不是clothes。costume多表示在戏剧或化妆舞会上穿的比较正式的服装，而clothes常表示普通的衣物。
2. Alicia夸赞Holly的家很有万圣节的感觉。Your place is totally decked out for Halloween. deck out，装饰，布置，deck out for something，为了某种场合而布置。Alicia问可不可以晚上不睡玩通宵呢，Holly说We’ll see! 就是再看看，还不一定。stay up，很晚才睡，熬夜，例如：Don't stay up late and wait for me. 不用熬夜等我。
3. We'll see.有两种意思，第一个时指要晚一点再看情况决定。也就是再看看。那二个意思是等着瞧，例如：---Can I stay at Jenny's house this weekend? ---We'll see. ---我这个周末可以待在珍妮家吗？---看情况再说。---Is it going to be scary? ---We'll see. ---这会很可怕吗？---等着瞧吧。
4. You'll probably be on a big sugar high anyway. 也许你会因为糖吃的太多而变得很兴奋。sugar high，吃糖引起的兴奋，美国人常认为糖吃太多人会变得比较亢奋，当然睡不着觉了。Alicia开心的笑了起来，Hee-hee!是个拟声词，相当于我们的“嘻嘻！”。Alicia希望邻居能发一些好糖。I hope your neighbors give out good candy. give out，分发，发出。
5. Holly相信邻居们看到Alicia的服装后会给她不错的糖的。Alicia装扮成了一个女巫，就是witch，那男巫师就是wizard。这两个词在Harry Porter等电影里都多次出现过。Holly很喜欢她的假鼻子和痣。Alicia的爸爸还给她买了一些粘粘的塑胶蟾蜍，很恶心的那种，大概是女巫的宠物吧。Holly还建议她把这些秀给那些要拿垃圾糖果给你的人。flash something at someone，亮出，闪出什么东西给别人看。劣质的糖果，这里用的是junk candy。
6. Holly还教Alicia学女巫的笑声，结果Alicia比Holly笑的还像，Sounds like you're a natural. 听起来你是天生就会了。You’re a natural.表示是做某事的天生好手。这里natural是指“天生具有某种特殊才能的人”，所以当某人对某方面天生在行，就可以用这个句子来称赞对方。[page]
Dialogue Script 3 对话原文 3
Alicia: You know, I haven't heard from Jack before we went to the Haunted Woods.
Holly: Still no sign of Jack? Maybe he's at the Village Halloween Parade!
Alicia: I just wish he'd call.
Holly: Hey, take it easy! I think we throw a great party!
Alicia: Yes, you bet. The spaghetti and hard-boiled eggs grossed people out!
Holly: And the Jell-o. I though no one would fall for that any more.
Alicia: Give it up, Brian! I saw you coming a mile away! [to Holly] Hey, isn't that the werewolf from...
Werewolf: [Jumping over to Holly] Give me your heart, baby!
Brian: Hey, you stay away from her!
Jack: What's wrong with you, dude? You look like you just saw a ghost!
Brian: Oh, Jack! I though you were...I mean, how are you? Where've you been?
Jack: Yeah, it's been a crazy week. Some idiot ran me over at the Haunted Woods. He nearly broke my leg!
Brian: [Embarrassed] Oh, that's...terrible.
讲解：
1. 对话中，Alicia很担心Jack, 因为在她们去鬼森林之前就没有见到她了，但是Jack却出现在Holly的party上。Still no sign of Jack? 还没有Jack的影子吗？Holly安慰Alicia说也许Jack去参加万圣节游行了。对话中提到了Village Halloween Parade全名是Greenwich Village Halloween Parade，Greenwich常被省略掉。格林威治村万圣节游行可以说是纽约市万圣节的重头戏，上万的市民和观光游客打扮成各式各样的人物，晚上7点在纽约第六大道上集合，接着开始游行，历时约两三个小时。
2. Alicia只是希望Jack能打电话来。Holly及时叉开了话题，I think we throw a great party! 我们办了场不错的派对！throw a party，办派对。Alicia非常同意，The spaghetti and hard-boiled eggs grossed people out!那些意大利面和煮的很老的蛋让大家快恶心死了。gross out，让人做呕。原来她们开的party是专门用来折磨客人的。 因为万圣节就是让人们尽情搞怪的节日。就像愚人节一样。她们做的搞怪食物还有Jell-o，果冻。Jell-o原来是一个果冻商标的名称，现在已经泛指“果冻”了。I though no one would fall for that any more. 我以为现在已经没有人会被这种东西骗了。看来这个果冻也不是什么好东西。fall for something，被某物欺骗，上…的当。
3. 这时Brian走过来想吓唬Alicia和Holly，但是却被Alicia识破了。Give it up, Brian! I saw you coming a mile away! 算了吧，Brian，我老远就看到你过来了。突然Alicia看见一个狼人走了过来，Brian冲出来大喊，Hey, you stay away from her! 嘿，你离她远一点，一副英雄救美的样子。
4. 原来狼人就是Jack装扮的。What's wrong with you, dude? You look like you just saw a ghost! 怎么了，老兄，你看起来像见到了鬼一样。dude, 在口语中常用，表示“家伙”，有贬义的色彩。Brian知道了原来狼人就是Jack，觉得很尴尬，原来在鬼森林里他差点撞断了狼人的腿。被Jack知道了，一定饶不了他。
