Chapter 1. The story of Shiverham Hall. Have a frightful stay, madam. Shiverham Hall was a hotel with a difference. All the guests were dead.

第一章 颤栗庄园的故事。祝您住得毛骨悚然，女士。 颤栗庄园是家与众不同的旅馆，所有住客都已经过世了。

Ghosts came from the spirit world to be greeted by shiver rooms spooky stuff. There were 22 ice cold bedrooms, a poltergeist powered jacuzzi, lovely and a stream quartet playing haunting tunes.

来自灵界的鬼魂们一到，就能见到庄园里各种吓人的小玩意儿。 这里有22间冰得刺骨的卧室，还有捣蛋鬼供能的按摩浴缸， 还有一支幽灵四重奏团演奏着萦绕心头的曲调。

No living soul dared visit the hotel. It was far too creepy. The ghosts were left in peace. Then one afternoon the hotel's deathly hush was shattered. Slam! Most of the ghosts were napping. Mr Queerer, the hotel manager, had come down for a glass of water.

没有一个活人敢造访这家旅馆，它实在太诡异了。 鬼魂们过得安安稳稳，没人打扰。 直到某天下午，旅馆死一般的寂静被彻底打破。 哐当！ 大部分鬼魂当时正在打盹。 旅馆经理奎尔先生正下楼来倒杯水喝。

Suddenly, a round -faced man flung open the front door and strode up to the reception desk. This is just what I've been looking for. He boomed. A tall, thin man scuttled in after him. Um, are you sure, Mr. Slate? He asked nervously.

突然，一个圆脸男人猛地推开大门，大步走到前台跟前。 这正是我一直找的地方。 他嗓门洪亮地说道。 一个瘦高个男人急急忙忙跟在他身后跑了进来。 呃，您确定吗，斯雷特先生？ 他紧张兮兮地问道。

Of course I'm sure, Simkins. Bunked Slate. This will make the perfect site for my new hotel. I've had it all designed. Slate proudly spread out a large plan in front of his assistant. Behind them, Mr Queaver sneaked up to get a better look.

我当然确定，西姆金斯。斯雷特不耐烦地说。 这里最适合建我的新旅馆了，我都已经设计好了。 斯雷特得意洋洋地在助手面前铺开一张大大的设计图。 他们身后，奎尔先生悄悄飘过来，想凑得更近点看清楚。
