托福阅读材料之父母假装吃完万圣节糖果

Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel has become known for mining the gold mine of humour that children provide - and in his latest prank manages to convince some devastated kids that all the Halloween candy has been eaten by their greedy parents.

美国ABC电视台制作的晚间脱口秀节目《吉米·坎摩尔秀》总是能发掘跟孩子们有关的各种幽默搞笑片段。吉米叔的恶作剧作品，就是让家长告诉孩子们一个惨绝人寰的消息：爸爸妈妈吃光了你们的万圣节糖果。

Sparking tantrums and tears, the skit reveals not one of the children reacts well to the news that this year they will get none of the candy they expected.

在听到他们今年拿不到万圣节糖果的噩耗时，孩子们的反应当然不会很开心，大部分的孩子都发脾气或是泪崩。
