The Bogeyman

The Bogeyman

夜魔人

In the middle of a game in the back lane Carrie said to Harry Don't step on the lines and the world changed

在后巷玩游戏玩到一半的时候 卡丽对哈利说 千万别踩线哦，不然 世界就会变样啦

Don't step on the lines said Carrie or the bogeyman will get you. Who's the bogeyman? asked Harry.

卡丽说，要是踩了线，夜魔人就会来抓你哦。 哈利问：夜魔人是谁呀？

The bogeyman said Carrie is as thin as a knife. He waits all his life in the cracks between things. He has eyes like fried eggs and hair like string. He waits and he takes his time until the day that you tread on a line. Then snip -snap just like that. Up he jumps and gets you.

卡丽说，夜魔人瘦得像把刀，一辈子都守在 各种东西的缝隙里。他的眼睛像煎蛋，头发像细绳。他等呀 等呀，等到哪天你踩了线，咔嚓一下，就 像那样，他一下子跳出来把你抓走。

Okay, said Harry. That's fine. I'll take care not to step on a line.

哈利说：好呀，没问题，我会小心不踩到线的。

Afterwards, when he walked down the street, he took great care where he put his feet. He hip -hopped to the shops. He tiptoed at the swimming pool.

从那以后，哈利走在街上的时候，都会格外留意脚落的地方。 他蹦蹦跳跳地去商店。 在泳池边的时候他都踮着脚走。
