Graveyard Scare 墓地惊魂
Graveyard 1 Scare 墓地惊魂
One dark night two guys were walking home after a party and decided 2 to take a shortcut 3 through the cemetery 4. When they got to about the middle of the graveyard they were startled and stopped moving. There was this terrifying noise, “TAP-TAP-TAP” coming from the shadows. Trembling with fear, they spotted 5 an old man with a hammer and chisel 6, chipping away at one of the headstones. "Holy cow, Mister,” one of them said after catching 7 his breath. “You SCARED us half to death. We thought you were a GHOST! What are you doing working here so late at night?" "Those fools!" the old man grumbled 8. "They misspelled my name!!"
一个漆黑的夜晚，两个小伙子参加完聚会，决定抄近路穿过一片坟地走回家。走到坟地的中间，从阴暗处传出来恐怖的“嗒、嗒、嗒”声音，吓得他们再也走不动了。浑身颤抖着，他们发现有个老人正拿着榔头和凿子凿一块墓碑。“噢，主啊，”其中一个屏住呼吸说，“你吓死我们了，我们还以为你是鬼了。这么晚了你在这干什么呢？”“这些傻瓜！”老人抱怨说，“他们拼错了我的名字！”
