8 The Spooky House

8 The Spooky House "You snuck off without me!" Violet relaxed. It wasn't Bogey Bill. It was Leon. "You were asleep," Violet said. "We tried to wake you up." Leon yawned. "I was up all night playing a video game. But I'm here now."

“你没带我就溜了！”紫色的放松。 不是柏忌比尔。是里昂。 “你睡着了，”维奥莱特说。 “我们试着叫醒你。” 里昂打了个哈欠。“我整晚都在玩电子游戏。 但我现在在这里。”

"Good, because we have a plan," Violet said. She told him about Robert B. Gnome. She showed Leon the stuffed spider. "I'm still not sure what to do with this," she said. "I'll hold on to it," Leon said. "It's cool." He jammed it into a pocket of his shorts. "Let's go to that creepy old house by the park," Violet said. "The one that's been empty for years. I think we'll find Bogey Bill there." Then Violet stopped. "Hey! My hiccups are gone!" "That's right!" Sprite said.

“很好，因为我们有个计划，”维奥莱特说。 她告诉他罗伯特B的事。 Gnome。她给李昂看了那个蜘蛛标本。 “我还是不知道该怎么办，”她说。 “我来拿着，”利昂说。 “这很酷。”他把它塞进短裤的口袋里。 “我们去公园旁边那座令人毛骨悚然的老房子吧，”维奥莱特说。 “那个空了好几年的房子。 我想我们会在那里找到妖怪比尔。” 然后维奥莱特停了下来。“嘿!我的打嗝没了！”“没错!”精灵说。

"It's because I scared you," Leon explained. "You should thank me." "Thank you!" she said. "Now I know how to trick Buttercup. Let's get moving!" Sprite reached for his bag of magical pixie dust. The dust would take them anywhere they wanted to go. In a flash. Sprite threw the pixie dust on them. Violet held her nose so she wouldn't sneeze. Her body tingled as the garden disappeared.

“那是因为我吓到你了，”利昂解释说。 “你应该感谢我。”“谢谢你！”她说。 “现在我知道怎么骗毛茛了。 我们走吧！”雪碧伸手去拿装着魔法仙尘的袋子。 灰尘会把他们带到任何他们想去的地方。 一瞬间。雪碧把仙尘撒在他们身上。 维奥莱特捏着鼻子不打喷嚏。 花园消失时，她的身体感到一阵刺痛。

They appeared in front of a tall house. It looked old and gray, and had boarded-up windows. Violet and Leon walked up the worn, creaky steps. Sprite flew alongside. Leon stopped. "Um, are you sure we should go in here?" "We can't be afraid," Violet said. "We have pixies to trick."

他们出现在一座高大的房子前。 它看起来又旧又灰，窗户用木板封着。 维奥莱特和利昂走上破旧的、吱吱作响的台阶。 雪碧在旁边飞。利昂停了下来。 “嗯，你确定我们要进去吗？”“我们不能害怕，”维奥莱特说。 “我们还要捉弄小妖精呢。”

They opened the door and walked into a dark room. The room was filled with dusty furniture. An old piano sat against one wall. A chandelier hung from the ceiling. "This is the perfect place for Bogey Bill," Violet whispered.

他们打开门，走进一间黑暗的房间。 房间里堆满了满是灰尘的家具。 一架旧钢琴靠在墙上。 一盏枝形吊灯悬挂在天花板上。 “这是妖怪比尔的最佳去处。”维奥莱特低声说。

Then a cold wind blew through the room. The tattered curtains fluttered. The piano played a tune all by itself. The chandelier swung back and forth. Bam! There was a loud crash behind them!

这时，一阵冷风吹过房间。 破烂的窗帘飘动着。 钢琴自己弹了一支曲子。 枝形吊灯前后摆动。 砰!他们身后传来一声巨响！
