万圣节


群魔乱舞——

这一天

天真无瑕的孩子们

纷纷戴上

狰狞凶恶的面具



群魔乱舞——

每一天

狰狞凶恶的大人们

纷纷戴上

天真无瑕的面具



HALLOWEEN



All hell breaks loose—

on this day

children wear hideous masks

to hide

their innocent faces



All hell breaks loose—

every day

adults wear innocent masks

to hide

their hideous faces

I'm pondering on which word works better - " use masks" or "wear masks". Confused

Thank you Lake. You are right. "Wear" would be a better choice considering its Chinese counterpart.

I can never think of using "All hell breaks loose"! I like how the words "hide" and "hideous" are used.
