6 Village of fear

Chapter 6 Village of fear After a sleepless night, Adam and Sally were up early. "I'm starving!" said Adam. "Let's find some decent breakfast in the village," suggested Sally. I couldn't face another meal here!

经过一个不眠之夜，亚当和莎莉起得很早。 “我饿死了！”亚当说。 “咱们到村里去吃点像样的早饭吧，”莎莉建议道。 我不能再在这里吃饭了！

As they entered the village, everyone looked at them strangely. Some people even started whispering. Feeling very unwelcome, Sally and Adam crept into the supermarket. "Aren't you the visitors at Twelve Bells End?" asked the manager. "You should leave that place immediately," hissed an old man, "before it's too late..."

当他们进入村庄时，每个人都奇怪地看着他们。 有些人甚至开始窃窃私语。 莎莉和亚当感到很不受欢迎，偷偷溜进了超市。 “你们不是十二钟巷的客人吗？”经理问。 “你应该马上离开那个地方，”一个老人嘶嘶地说，“不然就太迟了……”

Adam and Sally left the store in a hurry. "I can't bear it here any longer," said Adam. "Can we go home?" But before Sally could answer, a ghostly voice came from behind a wall. Youuu whoooo! "Go to the cottage with the red windows," it whispered. "There's someone there you need to see."

亚当和莎莉匆忙离开了商店。 “我在这儿再也受不了了，”亚当说。 “我们能回家吗？”莎莉还没来得及回答，一个鬼似的声音从墙后传来。 Youuu whoooo !“去那间有红窗户的小屋，”它低声说。 “那里有个人，你得去见他。”

It didn't take long to find the cottage. As Sally and Adam walked up the path, they spotted a grumpy old man in the garden. "What are you doing here?" he growled, waving his stick at them. "We were told to come here," said Sally, confused. "We're staying at Twelve Bells End."

没花多长时间就找到了小屋。 当莎莉和亚当沿着小路走的时候，他们发现花园里有一个脾气暴躁的老人。 “你们在这里干什么？”他吼道，朝他们挥舞着棍子。 “有人叫我们到这儿来，"莎莉困惑地说。 “我们住在十二钟巷。”

"What?" the old man cried, suddenly alarmed. "You must leave that house while you still can!" "But we promised Aunt Crystal we'd stay all week," sighed Adam. "Oh, you're related to the Midnights..." said the man, thoughtfully. "In that case, you'd better come inside." Where shall I start?

“什么？”老人突然惊叫起来。 “趁你还有机会，你必须离开那所房子！”“可是我们答应过克里斯托姨妈要在这儿待一个星期的。”亚当叹了口气。 “哦，你和午夜有关系……” 那人若有所思地说。 “那样的话，你最好进来。” 我从哪里开始呢？
