英语灵异故事-Haunted School House 02 闹鬼的校舍 02

[00:16.48]Haunted School House
[00:21.27]闹鬼的校舍
[00:32.50]It made sense. The floors were all concrete linoleum
[00:36.67]and instead of stairs in the building
[00:39.52]there were two gurney ramps² per floor,
[00:42.59]at 180 degree angles from each other
[00:45.93]that traversed you through the levels.
[00:48.84]It was not until one night,
[00:51.29]we were doing our clean up details
[00:53.92](the military saves money on janitorial³ services
[00:57.87]by farming out its students to indentured⁴ servitude)
[01:02.37]that I got curious.
[01:04.92]I wanted to see what was on the top floor.
[01:08.60]From the outside it looked like there were three stories,
[01:12.58]not including the basement
[01:14.27]where our break room was located.
[01:17.13]So I, with my push broom in hand, climbed the ramps.
[01:22.52]I asked if anyone wanted to go with me.
[01:25.49]No one wanted to join me,
[01:27.95]so after resoundingly calling them
[01:30.39]all a pack of wises I ventured off solo.
[01:34.41]I climbed seven floors. I counted.
[01:38.01]They all looked the same.
[01:40.10]I figured this was weird⁵ but was not too bothered by it.
[01:44.94]I stared up the next ramp¹ into black abyss
[01:48.56]and decided⁶ that I should get back,
[01:51.73]for all I knew this could go on forever.
[01:54.95]I came back down to find my classmates staring at me.
[01:59.56]I looked at all six faces in puzzlement.
[02:02.91]Finally, my best friend, Lance, said,
[02:06.05]"Berk, why didn't you answer us? Where did you go?"
[02:10.48]I answered that I just kept following the ramps
[02:13.59]but I could never find the top, which I found weird,
[02:17.66]why do you ask?
[02:19.47]They all chimed
[02:21.24]in that they had called me numerous times
[02:24.29]and even ventured up a couple ramps
[02:26.55]but couldn't find me.
[02:28.49]I never heard them.
[02:30.09]No one believed me
[02:31.78]and just thought I was trying to be funny.
[02:34.67]I found it all a bit unsettling,
[02:37.53]but quickly became immersed in other things.
[02:45.69]讲解
