我第一次在加拿大新斯科舍省的肯特维尔镇上见到南瓜人的时侯,差一点惹出交通事故。当时我正在夜间开车,对道路也不熟悉。突然,在一片灯火辉煌的草地上,出现了一群真人大小、南瓜做头的人们,他们正在举行婚礼,仿佛邀请我也加人他们的行列,因为时近半夜,我只好拒绝了他们的邀请。到了第二天,阳光普照,我对方向也有了更好的把握,于是我故地重游。我发现,除了那个婚札聚会以外,在小镇各处的院子里还有多处精心设置的南瓜人场景。在格兰特大街客栈的草坪上,正在举行庆祝感恩节的聚会,大人和孩子们挤在一起,都穿着只有星期日才穿的最好的衣服,当 The first time I met a pumpkin man in the town of Kentville, Nova Scotia, Canada, I almost caused a traffic accident. I was driving at night, not familiar with the road. Suddenly, on a glittering meadow, there appeared a group of life-size, pumpkin-headed people who were holding weddings as if I was invited to join them as late as midnight I had to refuse their invitation. The next day, the sun shines, I have a better grasp of the direction, so I revisit it. I found that in addition to the wedding party, there are many elaborate pumpkin scene in the yard around the town. On the lawn of Grant Street Inn, there is a party to celebrate Thanksgiving, where adults and children are crowded together, wearing only the best clothes they wear on Sundays.
