12、面具的后面,社会差异暂时被消除。富人变成了穷人,而穷人成了富人。他们互相尊敬地打着招呼。 在面具后面,年龄差异被消除,老人变年轻了,年轻人一下子老成持重起来。年轻人和小人物借助面具代表的权威把自己装扮成大人物。而老人极力将自己装扮得很年轻,甚至越无知越愚蠢越好,男人可以变成女人,女人也可以变成男人。,Match the festivals with the descriptions.,2 This is a festival of colour, which marks the beginning of spring in India.,Holi,Christmas,Thanksgiving
