六、文本翻譯亡靈返鄉(xiāng)每年過一次“亡靈節(jié)〞。這個(gè)節(jié)日是個(gè)歡快的日子，由于在這一天，據(jù)說死去的人要回到他們的家里來，活著的人那么對(duì)他們表示歡送。由于預(yù)料到他們?cè)诮?jīng)過長(zhǎng)途旅行之后會(huì)感到饑餓，所以為他們擺放好了食品。特制的燈籠掛在各家的門外，為的是關(guān)心亡靈看清道路。整個(gè)夜晚人們載歌載舞。一大早，人們便把為死者擺放的食品扔進(jìn)河中或海里，由于人們認(rèn)為活著的人吃了這些東西是不吉利的。在靠海的城鎮(zhèn)中，頭天夜里掛在大街小巷的小燈籠在節(jié)后就放在了水里。成千上萬只燈籠漸漸漂向大海，指引著亡靈返回另一個(gè)世界。這是一個(gè)感人的場(chǎng)面，人們成群地佇立在海岸上，凝視著燈籠遠(yuǎn)去，直到再也看不見為止。七、語法填空Whathappenstothelanternsattheendofthefestival?AFestivalfortheDeadisheldonceayearinJapan.Thisfestivalis1._____cheerfuloccasion,foronthisday,thedeadaresaidtoreturn2._____theirhomesandtheyareweledbytheliving.Astheyareexpectedtobe3._____(hunger)aftertheirlongjourney,food4._____(lay)
