besides pumpkin cutting, apple-bobbing is another popular game. several apples are put floating in water in a big bucket. children have their hands tied behind their backs. they have to try to pick the apples out of the water using only their mouths. of course, people get very wet and it is very funny to watch.除了切南瓜，“叼苹果”也是很流行的游戏。把几只苹果放在一个大水桶里面飘浮着。孩子们的手被绑在背后。他们只能用嘴巴把苹果从水里叼出来。当然了，人们会全都湿淋淋的，光看着就很有趣。
