假期到，装饰房屋吗？

假期就要到了，你是否会为了过个愉快的节日把家里打扮一新呢？在国外，每年12月初，人们就开始为了迎接圣诞节装扮自己的房子了。

Houseblinging is an informal English word that means to decorate the outside of a house at Christmas with a giant display of flashing lights. Some people 'bling up' their house at Christmas to raise money for charity, while others do it purely for fun! 
假日房屋装扮是英语中的一种通俗说法，意思是在圣诞节用大量的彩灯装饰房屋的外观。一些人在圣诞节“装扮”房屋用于募捐慈善，而还有些人纯粹是出于乐趣。

People who decorate their house in this way are known as houseblingers. 
在假期装饰房屋的人就称为假日房屋装扮者。

Some streets with a lot of houseblings can attract many visitors, causing traffic jams and annoyance to neighbours. 
装扮了大量节日装饰的街道能吸引很多游客，但也会引发交通堵塞，让邻里感到烦恼。

例句： "I see Jeff down the road is houseblinging again this Christmas". 
“我看见马路那头的杰夫今年圣诞节又在装扮房屋了。”
