The Strange old House

奇怪的老房子

Wilf had come round to play. "Wilma's got a netball match tomorrow, so my mum is taking me to Huntley Hall," he told Biff. "It's a stately home. Do you and Chip want to come, too?"

威尔夫过来玩了。 “威尔玛明天有一场无挡板篮球比赛，所以我妈妈要带我去亨特利庄园，”他告诉比夫。 “这是一座富丽堂皇的豪宅。你和奇普也想去吗？”

Biff was not sure. "Thanks, Wilf. But stately homes aren't very exciting, are they?" "This one is!" said Wilf. He pulled out a book from his bag. It was all about ghosts.

比夫不敢肯定。“谢谢,左前卫。 可是富丽堂皇的住宅并不令人兴奋，不是吗？”“这个是！”威尔夫说。 他从包里掏出一本书。 都是关于鬼的。

"Look," he said, turning to the right page. "It says here that once, a long time ago, someone actually saw ghosts at Huntley Hall!" Wilf grinned. "What if we saw a ghost there?"

“看，”他说，翻到右边一页。 “这里说，很久以前，有一次，有人真的在亨特利庄园看到了鬼！”左前卫咧嘴一笑。 “如果我们在那里看到了鬼怎么办？”

Just then Chip came into the room. "What's that about ghosts?" he said. "Wilf thinks there might be ghosts at Huntley Hall," explained Biff. "But there are no such thing as ghosts, are there?"

就在这时，奇普走进了房间。 “鬼是怎么回事？”他说。 “威尔夫认为亨特利庄园可能有鬼，”比夫解释说。 “可是根本就没有鬼这种东西，是不是？”
