　　英語恐怖鬼故事：酒吧

　　I worked in my local pub and over the weekends and some times during the week I would stay over there with the other bar manager. We shared a room. It wasn't strange to us to hear things at night. Sometimes the juke box would come on; sometimes you could hear voices and laughter coming from the bar. I used to like hearing that, as if those people who had really enjoyed coming to the pub still liked to pop in for a late drink!

　　我和朋友在本地開了家酒吧，週末的時候，並和朋友一起住在酒吧裡，偶爾工作日也會住在那兒。我倆共用一個房間，晚上聽到動靜對我們來說並不是什麼新鮮事。有時候是唱片點唱機，有時是從酒吧傳來的談笑聲。我曾經是很喜歡聽到這種聲音的，就像那些非常喜歡泡吧的人大晚上也要來喝一杯一樣。

　　Every morning, no matter how much you had scrubbed and polished the bar top the night before, you would find three water marks, as if the landlord and two regulars had stayed and had a drink together. Then other things started happening.

　　不管我們頭天晚上是如何認真仔細得擦洗吧檯，第二天早上，總能在上面發現三個水印，看起來就像是酒吧老闆和倆位老主顧呆到很晚，一起喝了酒似的。還有其他奇怪的事情發生。

　　When I was in the bathroom there would be knocks on the door. I would call out but get no answer, and sometimes find there had been no one upstairs but me. I would hear running footsteps and a child's laughter. The sash window in the room I stayed in would never close fully and condensation used to build up on my full length mirror. In the morning you could see two small hand prints at the bottom of the mirror. Again, these occurrences didn't bother me; in fact it was quite comforting.

　　我上洗手間時，會聽到敲門聲，但當我大聲的問是誰時，卻沒人回答。有幾次我從洗手間出來，卻發現二樓只有我一個人。我還會聽到人跑動的腳步聲和一個小孩的笑聲。我房間的上下推拉窗總關不嚴，所以夜裡我的大穿衣鏡上會凝結水汽，第二天早上，就會在鏡子下方看到兩個小手印。這些事情並沒有讓我感到煩惱，實際上，我還覺得挺欣慰的。

　　At night I would sometimes feel someone get into bed with me and feel two little hands in the small of my back. However, things started happening that DID bother me.

　　到了晚上，我有時會覺得有人鑽到了我的被窩裡面，能感到有兩隻小手在背後摸我的腰部。 ***這也算不了什麼***，但是，這之後發生的事情真的讓我感到不安。

　　After locking up one night I and the other bar manager were cleaning up. Now, in the ladies toilets there was a door that opened up into a courtyard, however no one had ever found the key. As I was checking out the toilets, I saw the door handle move. I thought someone had managed to get into the courtyard and called to my friend to look through the window. He didn't see anyone. Then the door handle started moving much more violently and I ran out to my friend.

　　一天晚上打烊後，我和朋友開始打掃酒吧。女洗手間有扇門能通到院子裡，但那門的鑰匙我們始終沒找到。但當我在檢查女洗手間的時候，卻看到門把手在動，我以為是有人在後院，便從洗手間裡喊朋友到窗邊看看。他沒看見院子裡有人，但此時，門把手動得更厲害了，我趕緊跑出去和朋友呆在一起。

　　We both watched through the window as an unseen hand rattled the door handle. We took off upstairs quite quickly, put all the lights on and slept in the living room that night. I hated having to go to the toilet at night from that point on.

　　有人在咔噠咔噠得轉動門把手，但我和朋友從窗戶看出去的時候，卻看不到院子裡有任何人。我倆趕緊跑到樓上，把所有燈都開啟，當晚我們都睡在客廳裡。從此之後，我痛恨晚上上洗手間。

　　The bathroom was at the end of corridor and I would always feel as if something was walking right behind me. I once saw a tall, dark shadow walk around the corner and into the kitchen, but there was no one there. I started to feel scared to be upstairs on my own.

　　洗手間在走廊的盡頭，每次我去那的時候，總有種身後有人跟著的感覺。有一次，我看見一個高大的黑影轉過牆角進了廚房，但那兒根本沒人。我開始害怕一個人上樓。

　　Downstairs, in the bar, it had a much more friendly atmosphere, but upstairs felt oppressive and claustrophobic. One night I woke up to find my sash window open and the tall figure standing on the balcony, looking out across the town. It then jumped off the rooftop. The child I had sensed, in such a comforting way, now began to scare me too. It was a little girl, and it seemed that with the appearance of this dark man she became intensely scared. I would see her standing in the doorway screaming while the black shadow approached behind her. I would hear cries and screams in the dead of night. My friend ended up pulling down the old fireplace that had been bricked up in the room we shared. That did it for I sensed something dreadful in the entire pub after he did that. I never worked or stayed there again.

　　樓下酒吧裡的氣氛很好。但樓上卻讓人感到壓抑恐懼。一天晚上，我醒來看到推拉窗開著，陽臺上有個高高的黑影，正看著整個鎮子。然後它從屋頂一躍而下。我曾經深感欣慰感覺到的那個小孩也開始讓我害怕。那是個小女孩，看起來那個黑影的出現把她嚇壞了。我曾看到那個黑影從背後向她走去，她就站在門口尖叫。寂靜的夜裡，我可以聽到哭喊尖叫聲。最後，我朋友把我們房間裡的壁爐給拆了。之後，我開始在整個酒吧都感覺到可怕的東西。從此，我再沒在那兒工作或是住過。

　　英語恐怖鬼故事：房頂工人

　　I worked in the basement of a Caltech campus building that had been periodically haunted by the specter of the upper half of a roofer who had fallen from the six story roof twenty years earlier.

　　我在加利福尼亞理工大學校內的一個地下室裡工作。20年前，有個蓋屋頂的工人從這棟六層樓的房頂摔了下去，從此，這樓就鬧鬼，那個工人的上半身總在這樓裡遊蕩。

　　On the day of the 6.0 Whittier earthquakes of 1987 I arrived at the building an hour earlier than usual and took the elevator to the top floor where the snack bar was located. After buying a cup of coffee from the dispenser I strolled out of the snack room onto the penthouse balcony to gaze over the lovely campus. Just as I was about to take a sip of coffee the whole building jolted upwards and nearly knocked me off balance. Thinking the short earthquake could be a precursor to an even bigger earthquake, I turned to find my way to the stairwell. However, as I turned I was slammed to the tarmac so violently and swiftly that I had no time to break my fall with my hands.

　　1987年惠蒂爾發生6級地震的那天，我比平常早到了一個小時。坐著電梯到了頂樓的快餐店，從自動售貨機買了一杯咖啡後，我踱出小吃店，走到有遮陽雨篷的陽臺邊，欣賞這可愛的校園景色。正當我要嘬口咖啡時，突然整個建築向上晃動起來，我差點失去平衡。我想這個輕微的地震之後肯定還會有場劇烈的地震發生，便轉身想下樓去。但我一轉過身，我就被狠狠地甩倒在停機坪上，速度之快讓我都沒時間用手撐著不至於跌倒。

　　As I struggled to crawl towards the stairwell I felt a sharp jabbing pain of my left ankle. I descended the stairs to the lobby and observed huge cracks in the corners and stumbled over chucks of plaster that had fallen onto the stairs. As I stumbled and limped through the lobby I encountered marble wall panels that had fallen and broken.

　　我掙扎著向電梯間爬去，忽然左腳踝傳來一陣劇烈的刺痛。我下樓來到大廳，聽到角落裡傳出很大的牆壁裂縫的聲音，我一瘸一拐得跨過樓梯上散落的一堆堆的石灰，穿過大廳，中途看見大理石的牆壁嵌板也掉下來,摔碎了。

　　A few employees were huddled right outside of the building afraid to enter. When they saw me emerge from the building they called security and soon I was taken to the campus clinic. By the time I arrived I my left ankle was swollen and discolored and I could not put any weight on it. As I described the accident to the attending physician I could not account for the way I was injured since I was out in the open and completely removed from any objects.

　　一些員工聚在樓外不敢進去。看到我出來，他們叫了保安，接著我便被送到了學校診所。到診所的時候，我的左腳踝已經水腫，都變色了，完全不能支撐身體重量。我向主治醫師描述事故經過的時候，沒辦法說清我受傷的原因，因為我是站在開闊的空地的，周圍沒有任何東西。

　　Later as I drove myself home to Whittier I began to see more damage along the streets. It turned out that the epicenter of the earthquake had been in Whittier and my neighborhood looked like a war zone. Since aftershocks follow the larger earthquakes I decided to drive to Las Vegas, Nevada to visit a friend for a few days.

　　晚些時候，我開車回惠蒂爾，沿途看到了更多的地震造成的破壞。原來地震的震中就在惠蒂爾，我家附近看起來簡直就像個戰場。因為地震之後會有餘震，所以我決定開車到內華達州的拉斯韋加斯，到我朋友那住幾天。

　　In the early morning darkness of my first night the doorbell rang, waking my hostess and me. As she turned on the porch light neither she nor I could see anyone from the front window. We then shrugged and went off to bed. A couple of minutes later the doorbell rang again. This time we repeated our steps much more quickly in order to see if a prankster might be lurking about. Again we returned to our rooms only to hear the ringing repeated.

　　我在朋友家住的第一晚，天還沒亮的時候門鈴就響了，把我和女主人都吵醒了。她把手電開啟，我倆從前邊視窗望出去，沒看見外邊有人。我們覺得莫名其妙，便聳聳肩膀又上床睡覺了。幾分鐘之後，門鈴又響了。這次，我和朋友迅速走到窗邊想看看是不是有人在惡作劇，仍舊一無所獲。但當我們回到臥室後，門鈴再次響起。

　　Thinking the fuse box may be faulty; we determined which fuse to turn off to snuff the doorbell. As we settled back in our rooms the doorbell rang again in an oddly hollow ring. At that moment I began to realize that something must have been trying to get our attention.

　　我倆認為一定是閘盒壞了，便把控制門鈴的那個閘關掉。但我們回到臥室後，門鈴又發出了一種奇怪的空洞的聲音。那一刻，我意識到是有什麼東西想引起我們的注意。

　　That morning I called one of the local spiritual practitioners to discuss this phenomenon. She suggested that I come for an "entity healing" as soon as possible. Later that morning several practitioners came to sit in on the healing session. One of the practitioners picked up on a male who seemed lost and in need of direction. The group took turns directing their prayers of healing and lifting to this entity. One of them mentioned that lost souls often seek out those who are sensitive and spiritually aware.

　　那天早晨，我去見了當地的一位通靈者，和她討論了這件事情。她建議我儘快作個“實體復原”。那天早晨晚些時候，好幾個通靈者都來參加了復原儀式。其中一位通靈者揪出了一個貌似迷失方向，急需人指點迷津的男人。通靈者們輪番給這個男人進行復原，讓他離開實體。一位通靈者說，迷失的靈魂通常會找那些敏感的或者在精神上有感應的人。

　　When I returned to my basement office I was told by one of the long time employees that shortly before the building was completed one of the roofers had taken a fatal fall from the exact spot I was standing when his left ankle was caught in a coiled rope. His ghost had been seen by several of the employees over the years.

　　當我回到我的地下工作室後，一個已經在那工作了很長時間的員工告訴我，就在這棟樓完工不久前，有一個負責蓋屋頂的工人就站在我當時站的那個地方，因為左腳踝被卷繩套住，從樓下摔下來死掉了。這幾年，好幾個員工見過他的鬼魂。

　　Could I have attracted the roofer while standing in the exact spot he died at the completion of the building during a major trauma to the building?

　　是不是因為我站在樓房完工前那名屋頂工人死前站的地方，所以在地震時才會招引了他的魂魄?
