Lesson96 The dead return
A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan. This festival is a cheerful occasion, for on this day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed by the living. As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out for them.Specially-made lanterns are hung outside each house to help the dead to find their way. All night long, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food that had been laid out for the dead is thrown into a river or into the sea as it is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it. In towns that are near the sea,the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before, are placed into the water when the festival is over. Thousands of lanterns slowly drift out to sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world.This is a moving spectacle, for crowds of people stand on the shore watching the lanterns drifting away until they can be seen no more.

笔记：
1.听写错误
lantern:灯笼
hungry
laid
thrown（写成throwing）
or into（听写的时候一直以为是一个单词，想不出来这个发音能对应什么单词）"
spectacle：n. 精彩的表演; 壮观的场面;
2.知识点
（1）… the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed by the living. ……据说死去的人要回到他们的家里来，活着的人则对他们表示欢迎。
①the dead与the living 均为定冠词+ 形容词结构，表示某类人。(cf.第54课语法)
②被动语态 the dead are said 在这里的作用是缓和说话语气，因为对事情是否属实的把握不太大。
（2）… food is laid out for them. ……为他们摆放好了食品。
lay out 为短语动词，其含义之一为“摆出”、“摊开”：
Don't lay out your clothes on the bed. Put them away.别把你的衣服都摊在床上。把它们收起来。
（3）all night long，整夜。
long 在这里是副词，表示“整个”、“在整段期间中”，通常与 all 连用：
It snowed all day long.
（4）a moving spectacle，一个感人的场面。
moving 为形容词，表示“动人的”、“感人的”
