  萬聖節的故事【1】

as if the morning commute wasn't odd enough, intrepid new yorkers trying to make their way to work on tuesday had to battle past hordes of the walking dead.

two dozen zombies, their clothes spattered with fake blood, were staggering up and down the block outside madison square garden. downtown, others shuffled across the brooklyn bridge.

some pedestrians looked startled or amused by the ghost-white actors with bruised-looking eyes. some people ignored them entirely. others whipped out their cell phone cameras.

horror movie fan linda emery was thrilled to see the creatures.

"i'm into zombies, anything with zombies," said the 58-year-old home care provider from brooklyn. it made a change from her usual commute.

"you see a lot of stuff, but not this stuff," she said.

erik machado, an audio engineer heading to work in new jersey, was unfazed and passed by the scene with nary a glance at the nightmares walking around.

"gotta commute, gotta go where i gotta go," the queens resident said.

the stunt was part of a campaign in 26 cities worldwide promoting the halloween premiere of the amc television series "the walking dead." the show is being broadcast outside of the united states on fox international channels.

at one point, about 15 zombies crawled on the roof, hood and trunk of a parked, off-duty taxi.

taxi driver david pollack managed to escape from the horde, scrambling out of the back seat, playing along with the drama of it all.

"i think i'm going to be walking over the george washington bridge and heading over to jersey, hopefully they haven't gotten there yet," he said.

he added, "i'm a tough new yorker, but i don't mess with zombies."

好像是嫌早晨上班路上的交通還不夠刺激,週二這天,勇敢的紐約人還要對抗殭屍大軍,設法殺出一條路來去上班。

二十多個殭屍渾身“血跡”斑斑,踉踉蹌蹌地徘徊在麥迪遜廣場花園外的街區上。在市中心,還有一些殭屍在布魯克林大橋上穿梭。

看著這些鬼魂般慘白、眼眶青腫的演員,有些行人看起來被嚇壞了,也有的樂在其中;有些人完全無視這些殭屍,還有一些人則掏出手機拍起了照片。

恐怖電影迷琳達?埃莫瑞覺得看到這些殭屍很刺激。

這位來自布魯克林區的58歲的保姆說:“我很喜歡殭屍,喜歡任何跟殭屍有關的東西。”此次的殭屍大遊行改變了她平常的上班路線。

她說:“你每天上下班可以看見很多東西,但看不見這個。”

音訊工程師埃裡克?馬查多正在前往新澤西上班的路上,他絲毫不為所動,經過時對這些四處走動的夢魘般的東西甚至連看都沒看一眼。

皇后區的居民則叫嚷著,“要上班去,要去該去的地方。”

這次個性表演是為了宣傳美國經典電影有線電視臺即將在萬聖節首播的電視連續劇《行屍走肉》,宣傳活動遍及全球26個城市。該劇在美國境外正通過福克斯國際頻道播出。

在某處,大約有15個殭屍爬到了停在一旁歇班的計程車車頂、引擎蓋和後備箱上。

被拖進這場鬧劇的計程車司機大衛?波拉克費力地從車後座上爬出來,擺脫了這群殭屍。

他說:“我想我會步行穿過喬治華盛頓大橋,到新澤西去,希望他們還沒有到達那裡。”

他還說道,“我是一個強悍的紐約人,但是我不想和殭屍混在一起。”

  萬聖節的故事【2】

Halloween is a bad time of year for black cats, with their long-standing connections with witches, hubble-bubble and evil.

Reports of deliberate cruelty to black cats rise especially in the weeks around Halloween in Britain, the RSPCA animal charity said on Wednesday.

But it seems that not only do people treat black cats badly in October -- they shun them for the rest of the year too.

Black cats at animal shelters take longer than others to find homes, probably because of all the superstitions surrounding them, the charity said.

"Unfortunately, black cats often do spend longer in our rehoming centres than others as they are frequently overlooked by potential owners," said shelter manager Beverly Leavy.

"But their fur color makes no difference to how much love they have to give," she added. "The cats are ready to make wonderful pets."

The image problem varies from country to country and often involves black cats crossing people's paths.

Historians differ about the origins of the superstitions.

Some point to the ancient Celts, some to folklore tales that liken cats to snakes and cast them as the constant companions of witches, others to a Medieval belief that they caused the black plague in Europe.

The view that they bring bad luck has also woven its way into art and popular culture.

American writer of macabre tales, Edgar Alan Poe, published a short story "The Black Cat" in 1843 and in the late 19th century a shady cabaret called Le Chat Noir welcomed guests in the Bohemian Montmartre district of Paris.

The RSPCA is appealing for potential owners to come forward for the black cats in its shelters.
