| Ready for a spook-tacular Halloween? Whether you're heading to a 派对 (pàiduì) or just want to understand the holiday better, learning some key vocabulary will make your experience more fun. Let's unlock the essential words for 万圣节 (Wànshèngjié)!  Classic Symbols & Characters: First, let's meet the cast of characters. A 鬼 (guǐ) is a ghost, and a 女巫 (nǚwū) is a witch, often seen flying on her 扫帚 (sàozhou). Be careful of the 黑猫 (hēi māo) - black cat - crossing your path! And of course, we have the iconic 南瓜 (nánguā) - pumpkin, which is carved into a 杰克灯笼 (Jiékè dēnglong) - Jack-o'-lantern. Costumes and Makeup: The heart of the celebration is 化妆 (huàzhuāng), which means both "to put on makeup" and "to wear a costume." You might dress up as a 骷髅 (kūlóu) - skeleton, a 僵尸 (jiāngshī) - zombie, or a 吸血鬼 (xīxuèguǐ) - vampire. A simple sheet with eye holes makes you a 幽灵 (yōulíng) - ghost. Don't forget your 面具 (miànjù) - mask! Treats and Activities: The famous phrase "不给糖就捣蛋!" (Bù gěi táng jiù dǎodàn!) means "Trick or Treat!" The 糖 (táng) is the candy, and 捣蛋 (dǎodàn) is the "mischief" or "trick" you play if you don't get any! Other popular treats include 苹果糖 (píngguǒ táng) - candy apples. Useful Phrases: When you see a great costume, you can say: "你的化妆真棒!" (Nǐ de huàzhuāng zhēn bàng!) - "Your costume is awesome!" If something is a little too scary, you can exclaim: "好可怕!" (Hǎo kěpà!) - "So scary!" Learning these words is a fantastic way to connect with the holiday and practice your Chinese in a real-world context. So go ahead, use your new vocabulary and have a 快乐 (kuàilè) - happy and safe Halloween! Did you enjoy learning these Halloween terms?
