[00:21.90]The House in the Field
[00:29.98]荒野小屋
[01:00.67]I live in rural Virginia, and my high school,
[01:04.39]believe it or not,
[01:05.67]was in between two pastures
[01:07.64]in a very agrarian 1 area.
[01:12.29]Although I was never much into sports,
[01:15.44]I had a few friends who were,
[01:17.64]and several were on the cross-country running team.
[01:22.95]The course lay out for the cross-country track
[01:25.36]took a meandering 2 path around the school,
[01:28.38]then out into the pastures around the school
[01:31.12](with the permission of the farmers, of course).
[01:34.36]One part of the course took the runners
[01:36.64]past an immense old farmhouse,
[01:39.22]abandoned and dilapidated on the crest 3 of a hill
[01:42.63]overlooking the school.
[01:45.19]There were, of course, rumors 4 that it was haunted,
[01:48.96]but to my knowledge no one ever saw
[01:52.29]or heard anything there.
[01:54.93]It was just a big, old, spooky, abandoned house.
[01:59.64]At times,
[02:00.64]the CC runners did see someone poking 5 around there,
[02:04.51]but it was obviously the owner of the property
[02:07.48]as they would see his truck parked in front of the place,
[02:11.71]and they could see that
[02:12.91]he was using the downstairs rooms to store equipment
[02:16.62]and surplus hay.
[02:18.85]That being said,
[02:20.53]I shall relate the story of my friend on the CC run,
[02:23.89]and the subsequent discovery made by myself
[02:26.88]and some intrepid 6 companions one day...
[02:31.31]Her name was Candy, and she was on the CC team.
[02:35.42]She was hardly the star member, and would,
[02:38.88]unfortunately, often find herself running alone.
[02:43.23]That never dampened her spirits,
[02:45.91]however, and she remained on the team doing her part.
[02:50.17]One day, when as usual the pack had left her far behind,
[02:54.74]she found herself alone
[02:56.45]as she trudged 7 up the hill towards the old house.
[03:00.08]Glancing up,
[03:00.97]she saw someone walk past an upstairs window.
[03:05.04]She thought nothing of it, of course,
[03:07.56]assuming it was the farmer.
[03:09.86]It didn't dawn on her until later
[03:12.26]that his truck was not in its usual place
[03:15.52]in front of the house.
[03:26.03]讲解
