鬼屋故事集

Chapter 1 Chilmore Castle Max Moon was on a school field trip to Chilmore Castle. Everyone was looking forward to the guided tour. Everyone except Max, that is.

第一章 奇尔摩尔城堡 麦克斯·穆恩跟着学校来奇尔摩尔城堡实地考察 所有人都很期待有导游带领的参观，只有麦克斯是例外

He was in a group with Nat and Norm Knuckle. The bullies were always picking on him. As they waited to go in, the brothers marched up to Max.

他跟纳特和诺姆·纳克尔分到了一组，这对恶霸兄弟总爱欺负他 就在大家等着进城堡的时候，这对兄弟大摇大摆走到麦克斯跟前

You're not brave enough for this, Moonface," sneered Nat. Why not? asked Max. Didn't you know, Dimbo? said Norm. The castle is haunted by a terrifying ghost. Scaredy Cat. Tremble Puss.

纳特讥笑道：“你胆子太小啦，月亮脸，根本不配来这儿。” 麦克斯问：“为什么呀？” 诺姆说：“傻大个，你难道不知道吗？” 这座城堡闹鬼哦，那个鬼可吓人了 胆小鬼 爱哭鬼

I don't believe you said Max trying to sound brave. This way called the guide and the castle tour began. They climbed to the top of the tallest tower and peered into the murky moat. Yucky. A secret tunnel in the hillside led back into the castle dungeon.

“我才不信你的鬼话。” 麦克斯努力装出很勇敢的语气 导游喊着“这边走”，城堡参观就正式开始啦 他们爬到最高的塔顶，往下瞅浑浊的护城河，好恶心呀 山坡上有一条秘密隧道，一直通到城堡的地牢里

This is the very spot where people have seen Sir Hal the Horrible, said the guide. Who? asked Max. A fierce knight who lived here long ago, she replied. He's supposed to haunt the castle at midnight.

导游说：“就是这个地方，有人见过‘恐怖哈尔爵士’哦。” 麦克斯问：“谁呀？” 她回答：“是很久以前住在这儿的一个凶悍骑士。” 据说他午夜的时候会在城堡里游荡
