01-IT WAS A FOGGY OCTOBER NIGHT

Geronimo Stilton CAT AND MOUSE IN A HAUNTED HOUSE

杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿在闹鬼的房子里捉老鼠

IT WAS A FOGGY OCTOBER NIGHT... It was a foggy October night. Oh, how I wished I was home in my comfy mouse hole! It was the perfect night to curl up with a good book and a cup of hot cheddar, But I wasn't at home. I wish I could say I was bowling down at Lucky Paw Lanes. Or nibbling on a delicious dinner at my favorite French restaurant, Le Squeakery. But I was far away from every mouse I knew. I was stuck in the middle of the DARK FOREST! Do you want to know why? Let me tell you.... Oh, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton.

那是十月的一个雾蒙蒙的夜晚。 那是十月的一个雾蒙蒙的夜晚。 噢，我多么希望我是在舒适的老鼠洞里!这是一个完美的夜晚，可以蜷缩起来，看一本好书，喝一杯热切达干酪，但我不在家。 真希望我能说我在幸运猴爪巷打保龄球。 或者在我最喜欢的法国餐厅Le Squeakery吃一顿美味的晚餐。 但我离我认识的每一只老鼠都很远。 我被困在黑森林的中央了!你想知道为什么吗? 让我告诉你....哦，但首先让我自我介绍一下。 我叫斯蒂尔顿，杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿。

I live in New Mouse City, where I run a newspaper. Yes, that's right, I am a newspaper mouse. I publish a paper called The Rodent's Gazette. It is the most popular paper on Mouse Island! Our only competition is The Daily Rat. But that's another story. Let's see, where was I? Oh, yes, how I got to the Dark Forest. Well, I had left New Mouse City to go visit my aunt Sweetfur. She was on vacation in the Pleasant Paw Hills. To get there, I had to drive through the Dark Forest. Have you ever been there? It reminds me of the woods where Hansel and Gretel Mouse get lost. Very dark and spooky. I had just passed Cat Claw Rock when a foggy cloud settled over my car. I felt like one of the Three Blind Mice. I couldn't see

我住在新老鼠城，在那里经营一家报纸。 是的，没错，我是一只报纸老鼠。 我出版了一份叫《啮齿动物公报》的报纸。 这是老鼠岛上最受欢迎的报纸!我们唯一的竞争对手是《每日鼠报》 但那是另一回事了。我说到哪了? 哦，是的，我是怎么到黑森林的。 我离开了新老鼠城去拜访我的小甜甜姨妈。 她当时在普莱森波特山度假。 为了到达那里，我不得不开车穿过黑森林。 你去过那里吗?它让我想起了Hansel和Gretel老鼠迷路的树林。 非常黑暗，令人毛骨悚然。我刚经过猫爪岩，就有一片雾霭笼罩在我的车上。 我觉得自己就像三只瞎老鼠中的一只。 我看不见

my own paw in front of my snout! I tried to check out my map, but it was no use. I was lost! The road grew narrow and finally led to a dirt path. Stale Swiss rolls! This didn't look good. Now I was really in the middle of nowhere. I shivered. Who knows what kinds of crazy rats lived out here in the deep, dark woods? What if they jumped on my car? What if they jumped on me? With shaking paws, I tried dialing my sister, Thea. Rats! I couldn't get a signal on my cell phone. Oh, how I wished I was home! I drove on for another half hour in the thickening fog. I tried turning on my radio to get my mind off things, but I couldn't get a station.

我自己的爪子在我的鼻子前面!我试图查看我的地图，但是没有用。 我迷路了!这条路越来越窄，最后通向一条土路。 不新鲜的瑞士卷!这看起来不太好。 现在我真的是在荒无人烟的地方。 我不禁打了个哆嗦。谁知道这漆黑的树林里住着什么样的疯狂老鼠? 如果他们跳上我的车怎么办? 如果他们扑向我怎么办? 我抖动着爪子，试着给我妹妹西娅打电话。 老鼠!我的手机收不到信号。 啊，我多么希望我是在家里啊!我在浓雾中又开了半个小时的车。 我试着打开收音机让自己不去想那些事，但是我收不到台。

Instead, I listened to my teeth chattering. Then suddenly, out of the fog, a sign appeared. It read: To Cannycat Castle Too shocked to squeak, I checked my map. Strange, very strange, I thought. There was no castle listed. I folded the map and shoved it into my coat pocket. Well, there was only one thing to do. I headed for the castle. I would ask for directions there. Just then, a BOLT OF LIGHTNING streaked down right next to me! For a split second, the Dark Forest glowed. It reminded me of the time my uncle Flickrat turned on the lights before the movie was over at the Grand Squeak Cinema. The

相反，我听到自己的牙齿在打战。 突然，从雾中出现了一个迹象。 上面写着:去坎尼猫城堡，我震惊得叫不出话来，查看了地图。 奇怪，非常奇怪，我想。 书中没有城堡的记载。 我把地图折好，塞进大衣口袋里。 那就只有一件事可做了。 我朝城堡走去。我会在那里问路。 就在这时，一道闪电从我身边划过!刹那间，黑森林闪着光。 这让我想起了我叔叔弗利克拉特在大Squeak电影院电影结束前打开灯的那一次。 的
