Pumpkin carving at Halloween is a
family tradition. When I lived in Las Vegas, we had to make do with
baseball-size ones from the grocery store. But since we moved to
the north-west 10 years ago, we’ve visited a
local farm every October. There we ride tractors to the pumpkin
patch and I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out
the biggest specimen. My dad has a rule that we have to carry our
pumpkins back to the wheelbarrow, and as the eldest child I have an
advantage – in 2015 I staggered back with an 85-pounder.
The following year, when I was 16, it
was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my
14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we
neglected to weigh them before scooping out their innards, but I
was determined to prove my point. All five of us were hard at work
at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual ritual. I’m
unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would
settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the
time.
With the pumpkin resting on the table,
hole uppermost, I leaned over and pressed my crown against the
opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I
leant into my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented
entry. Then in it popped: my whole head, like a cork forced into a
bottle. I was able to straighten up, triumphantly, with the
gigantic squash resting on my shoulders.
My exultation was short-lived. The
pumpkin was heavy. “I’m going to set it down, now,” I said, and
with Jason helping to support its weight, I bent back over the
table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to
remove my head that I realised getting out was going to be less
straightforward than getting in. The knot of my ponytail caught
against the rim when I tried to pull out, as did the underside of
my jaw. When I pulled my chin into my neck, my nose got in the way
instead. I felt a jab of panic as I braced against the table and
moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no
use. “I can’t get it out!” I roared, my voice sounding unnaturally
loud in the enclosed space. The muffled voices from outside were
oddly calming, though – Mom unruffled and amused, Jason giving
advice, my 10-year-old brother, Austin, singing a song I couldn’t
make out. There was enough space around my neck to let a little
light in and, fortunately, I’ve always liked the smell of pumpkin.
My bellowing provoked little sympathy. “Don’t use up all your
oxygen,” Mom suggested.
Dad was summoned – less, it seemed, in
expectation of practical help than to make sure he didn’t miss out
on the spectacle. I heard him propose calling the fire department.
“Stay tuned,” said Mom; she’d mentioned she was going to upload the
video to Facebook, but it was only then I realised she’d been
filming the whole time. I was stuck for five or six minutes though
it felt much, much longer. The video cuts before my rescue – Dad
got me to push my head farther into the pumpkin so Mom could reach
in and undo the rubber band round my ponytail. I emerged with
squash-conditioned hair, a sore chin and my nose plugged with
pulp.
That Facebook video went up the Monday
before Halloween, and by the end of that day it had over 1,000
views. People asked Mom to put it on YouTube, and by Wednesday
morning we were getting 5am calls from TV breakfast shows and then
the international media –the video started
racking up hundreds of thousands of views. When I went on a youth
camp, I was recognised by children I’d never met. The pumpkin also
became a minor celebrity. Passersby and trick-or-treaters would
knock and ask, “Which is Rachel’s pumpkin?” before taking selfies
with it.
Although our pumpkin carving the
following year was a more sedate affair, I wouldn’t say I learned
my lesson. A few months later I squeezed myself into a laundry
basket during a game of hide-and-seek and became hopelessly jammed.
It was Dad who responded to my cries for help. Inevitably, I was
kept waiting for a while – first he had to look for the video
camera.

Pumpkin(南瓜）carving
at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every
October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and
sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a rule that we
have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I
have an advantage --I carried an 85-pounder back last
year.
This year, it was hard to tell whether
my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was
the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out
their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us
were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the
annual event. I'm unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside
the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect
sense at the time.
With the pumpkin resting on the table,
hole uppermost, I bent over and pressed my head against the
opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I
went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented
entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork
(软木塞） forced into a bottle. I was able to
straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my
shoulders.
My excitement was short-lived. The
pumpkin was heavy. “I'm going to set it down, now,' I said, and
with Jason helping to support its weight, I bent back over the
table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to
remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less
straight forward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got
in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the
table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but
it was no use. “I can't get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding
unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.

参考范文二：
It was five or six minutes
though it felt much longer. The air inside the hollow vegetable
was full of my anxious breath. I could hear my sister’s laughter
and Jason’s muffled voice talking about cutting the giant thing
open. “No! Not my precious pumpkin!” I protested. Eventually, Dad
helped me adjust my body to a more relaxed position, and pulled the
pumpkin gently off my head. Hair in knots, nose and chin covered in
pumpkin flesh, I let out a sigh of relief. That’s when I realized
the camera had been rolling the whole time!
The video was posted
online the Monday before Halloween. I looked just
like a pumpkin head in it. Embarrassed and a little annoyed, I fled
to my room, but Mom stopped me. “You haven’t read the comments
yet.” I scrolled down the screen and marveled at the stories the
viewers shared about Halloween. One girl recalled celebrating it
with her brothers and sisters, and thanked us for “bringing her
home”. The words brought warmth to my heart and tears to my eyes. I
felt lucky to be a part of this mischievous yet loving family.
