英語鬼故事:撥打911(雙語)
Jennifer and Amanda were very good friends. Now in college, they had been friends since grade school. Jennifer was the smart, intelligent one. Amanda was the fun-loving, kind of sluttish one.
詹尼佛和阿曼達是非常好的朋友,她們的友誼從小學時候就開始了,現在又進了同一所大學。詹尼佛很聰明、機靈,而阿曼達愛出洋相,有點不拘小節。
One night, Amanda was chatting on the Internet while Jennifer did her calculus homework. Amanda was singing along with her head phones, and annoying Jen quite a bit.
有一天晚上詹尼佛在寫微積分作業,阿曼達則是上網聊天。她一邊上網一邊對著耳機的話筒唱歌,詹尼佛讓她給惹煩了。
"Shut up, Amanda. You're being annoying," Jen snapped.
“閉嘴,阿曼達。煩死了。”詹尼佛厲聲喊道。
"What's your problem?" Amanda asked, defensively.
“怎么了?”阿曼達問,大有為自己辯護的態勢。
"Nothing. Just... keep it down. Okay?"
“沒什么,小點聲行嗎?”
"Ok, no prob," Amanda replied.
“噢,好的。”阿曼達回答說。
Jennifer went on doing her homework, as Amanda chatted. Suddenly, Amanda squealed with delight.
接下來,詹尼佛接著做作業,而阿曼達繼續聊著天。突然,阿曼達高興得大叫起來。
"Guess what, Jen!"
“你猜有什么好事,珍!”
Jennifer sighed. "What?"
詹尼佛嘆了口氣,“是什么?”
"David wants to meet me tomorrow night!"
“大衛明天晚上想和我見面!”
"Um, who?"
“啊?誰?”
"You know. My internet boyfriend?" Amanda said impatiently.
“你知道的啊!我網上的男朋友!”阿曼達有點不耐煩。
"Um. Great," replied Jennifer. Amanda, a little put out by her friend's lack of enthusiasm, signed off the Internet and decided to go to bed.
“噢,不錯,”詹尼佛回答說。聽到好友有氣無力的敷衍,阿曼達有點泄氣,于是關了電腦準備睡覺了。
"Night, Jen."
“晚安,珍。”
"Mmm," replied Jennifer.
“恩。”詹尼佛答道。
The next night, as planned, Amanda went out to meet David at a local bar called "McGrundy's." They had an excellent night together, and it was getting pretty late.
第二天晚上,照原定計劃阿曼達去了附近一個叫做“麥克格朗蒂”的酒吧去見那個叫大衛的人。他們當晚過得很開心,一直呆到很晚的時候。
"One more drink?" David asked.
“想再喝一杯嗎?”大衛問她。
"Sure. Why not?" Amanda replied, even though she was getting a little tipsy. David ordered Amanda another screwdriver, and handed it to her. She drank it down, and David paid. They left.
“好啊,為什么不呢?”阿曼達回答說。其實她現在已經有點醉了。 大衛又點了杯“螺絲鉆”雞尾酒遞給她。阿曼達一飲而盡,大衛付了賬單,隨即兩個人離開了。
The next morning, Jennifer woke to hear whimpering in the bathroom. She really wasn't ready to wake up, as Amanda and her new boyfriend had come in late and woken her up. They'd been making a lot of noise in the bathroom, too. Jennifer moaned, got up, and walked into the bathroom.
轉天早晨,詹尼佛被衛生間里傳來的呻吟聲驚醒。阿曼達和新男朋友昨晚回來的時候把她吵醒了,隨后她們又在衛生間弄出了很大的聲音,弄得她沒睡好,現在根本不想起床。詹尼佛抱怨了一聲,下床走進了衛生間。
"Amanda? What the hell?" Amanda was asleep in a bathtub full of ice cubes. Jennifer was extremely confused. She looked around the bathroom and saw a note on the counter top. It read: Call 911 if you want to live.
“阿曼達,你又怎么了?”浴缸里裝滿了冰塊,阿曼達就睡在里面。此時詹尼佛對眼前的一幕完全不知所云,她環視衛生間的四周,最后發現梳妝臺上有張紙條。上面寫著:如果你想活命的話,撥打911。
Jen, thinking it a joke, shook Amanda to try and wake her. She wouldn't wake up. Jennifer called 911.
詹尼佛以為阿曼達和她開玩笑,就晃著她的身子試圖叫醒她。但是阿曼達怎么也醒不過來,于是詹尼佛撥打了911。
Paramedics arrived at their apartment and took Amanda out of the tub, naked. They rolled her over and, as they suspected -- Amanda's kidneys had been stolen.
醫護人員來到了他們住的公寓,把赤裸著的阿曼達抬出浴缸。他們把阿曼達的身子翻過來,與他們懷疑的一樣——她的腎臟被取走了。
