Horrible Midnight恐怖午夜

前情提要：羅利和我找到了一盤(pán)恐怖電影的光碟，我們打算晚上看。這也讓我想起了去年我倆一起睡地下室的經(jīng)歷，我倆被奇怪的聲音嚇得去樓上找我爸爸，我還想到了搬家……

Friday星期五

Dad didn’t seem convinced, and he went down to the basement and walked right into the furnace room. Me and Rowley stayed about ten feet back.

看起來(lái)老爸并不相信我的話，他下樓到地下室，徑直走進(jìn)鍋爐房。我和羅利躲在10英尺開(kāi)外的地方。

I was pretty sure Dad wasn’t going to get out of there alive. I heard some rustling and a few bumps, and I was ready to make a run for it.

我敢說(shuō)老爸十有八九沒(méi)命活著走出那房間。里面?zhèn)鞒鲆魂嚿成陈?，又發(fā)出幾聲砰砰聲，我已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好拔腿就跑。

But a few seconds later he came back out with one of Manny’s toys, a doll named Hide-and-Seek Harry.

但不一會(huì)兒，老爸拿著一個(gè)叫“躲貓貓的哈利”的玩偶走了出來(lái)，那是曼尼的玩具。

Key points convince 使相信，說(shuō)服 alive 活著的；活潑的 rustling 沙沙聲 bump 碰撞（聲）

Last night me and Rowley waited for Mom and Dad to go to bed,and then we watched our movie.Technically, I was the only one who watched it, because Rowley had his eyes and ears covered the whole entire time.

昨晚我和羅利等老爸老媽睡著之后，就開(kāi)始看我們從羅德里克那里翻出的電影。實(shí)際上，只有我一個(gè)人在看，因?yàn)榱_利幾乎整部電影都捂著自己的眼睛和耳朵。

The movie was about this muddy hand that goes around the country killing people. And the last person who sees the hand is always the next victim.

電影說(shuō)的是一只泥手的故事，它到處游走殺人?？吹竭@只手的人就是下一個(gè)受害者。

The special effects were really cheesy, and I wasn’t even scared until the very end. That’s when the twist came.

電影的特效很假，我從頭看到尾，一點(diǎn)都不覺(jué)得害怕。然而意想不到的事情發(fā)生了。

After the muddy hand strangled its last victim, it came crawling straight at the screen, and then the screen went black. At first I was a little confused, but then I realized it meant the next victim was gonna be ME.

在關(guān)系數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)中，關(guān)系模式是有概念模式生成的。概念模式的表示方法一般為E-R圖。在E-R圖中，包括實(shí)體和聯(lián)系兩個(gè)元素，實(shí)體與實(shí)體之間的聯(lián)系類(lèi)型有“1對(duì)1”、“1對(duì)多”和“多對(duì)多”三種，根據(jù)一定的規(guī)則和規(guī)范化要求，可以導(dǎo)出由實(shí)體和聯(lián)系生成的關(guān)系模式。因此，關(guān)系模式可以分為實(shí)體關(guān)系模式(實(shí)體表)和聯(lián)系關(guān)系(聯(lián)系表)模式兩類(lèi)。根據(jù)關(guān)系數(shù)據(jù)模型的參照完整性要求，關(guān)系表之間存在主外鍵的約束關(guān)系，形成了關(guān)系圖。

泥手掐死了最后一個(gè)人，就朝著屏幕方向爬，然后屏幕就黑了。起初我還有點(diǎn)摸不著頭腦，沒(méi)多久我反應(yīng)過(guò)來(lái)了：下一個(gè)受害者，就是我。

Key points technically 嚴(yán)格來(lái)說(shuō)；技術(shù)上 entire 全部的 muddy 泥濘的 victim 受害者cheesy（質(zhì)量）低劣的 scared 恐懼的 twist （故事或情況的）轉(zhuǎn)折，轉(zhuǎn)變strangle 勒死 confuse 使困惑 gonna將要

I turned the TV off, and then I described the whole movie to Rowley from beginning to end.

我關(guān)上電視機(jī)，把整個(gè)故事從頭到尾跟羅利講了一遍。

Well, I must've done a pretty good job telling the story,because Rowley got even more freaked-out than I was.

哈，我肯定講得不錯(cuò)，因?yàn)榱_利聽(tīng)完故事顯然比我還害怕。

I knew we couldn’t go to Mom and Dad this time because they’d ground me if they found out we watched a horror movie. But we didn’t feel safe in the basement, so we spent the rest of the night in the upstairs bathroom with the lights on.

I just wish we had managed to stay awake the whole night, because when Dad found us in the morning, it wasn’t a pretty scene.

要是我們能夠整夜不睡就好了。第二天早上，老爸在浴室發(fā)現(xiàn)了我們，那個(gè)場(chǎng)面可真夠難看的。

Key points describe 敘述 freaked-out 嚇壞了 awake 醒著的 scene 場(chǎng)面

Dad wanted to know what was going on, and I had to fess up. Dad told Mom, so now I’m just waiting to hear how long I’m gonna be grounded for. But to be honest with you, I’m a lot more worried about this muddy hand than any punishment Mom can dream up.

老爸問(wèn)我們是怎么回事，我只好從實(shí)招來(lái)。老爸把事情告訴老媽?zhuān)袁F(xiàn)在我能做的就是等著老媽說(shuō)要關(guān)我多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間禁閉。不過(guò)說(shuō)句實(shí)話，比起老媽炮制的懲罰措施，我更擔(dān)心泥手的事情。

I thought about it, though, and I realized there’s only so much ground a muddy hand can cover in a day.

還好，有一點(diǎn)對(duì)我稍有安慰—我發(fā)現(xiàn)泥手每天只能爬行一小段路。

So hopefully that means I have a little while longer to live.

但愿泥手真如我想的一樣，那我就能多一點(diǎn)活命的時(shí)間。

Key points fess up 承認(rèn) to be honest 說(shuō)實(shí)話 punishment 懲罰 dream up 想象出

The End
