[00:26.43]门廊鬼影
[00:35.14]I lay back down and tried to go back to sleep.
[00:39.57]After I had lain there for about 5 minutes,
[00:43.12]I started to hear a tapping sound.
[00:45.77]I listened for a minute,
[00:48.07]and that was when I realized that the sound
[00:50.58]was coming from underneath¹ my bed!
[00:53.93]I was too afraid to look under it,
[00:56.89]so I just tried to ignore it and go to sleep.
[01:01.24]After it did it for almost 10 minutes,
[01:04.79]the tapping suddenly stopped.
[01:07.55]What happened next
[01:09.35]I will never forget for as long as I live.
[01:13.59]There was a lone² window in the room,
[01:17.08]and that night the curtains were pulled back.
[01:20.81]I was facing the window,
[01:23.12]and just moments after the tapping stopped,
[01:26.57]a white transparent³ figure
[01:28.72]slowly moved past the window from right to left.
[01:33.57]It seemed to be walking on the front porch,
[01:36.65]which covered the entire front of the house.
[01:40.17]The figure appeared to have a glow to it,
[01:42.97]kind of like the moon has.
[01:45.58]Needless to say, I was horrified⁴.
[01:49.68]I froze in terror, with my eyes fixed⁵ on the window.
[01:54.58]Fortunately I didn't see it again.
[01:57.67]I tried to rationalize what I had just seen,
[02:01.16]but I couldn't. We were in the middle of nowhere!
[02:05.70]There were no roads, no cars,
[02:08.23]no nothing, just a long dirt road and a bunch of trees.
[02:14.33]Everyone else was asleep,
[02:17.17]so I was the only one who saw this.
[02:20.21]I was too scared to sleep after that,
[02:23.37]so I just lay there for the rest of the night.
[02:27.32]The next morning I was thinking about what I had seen,
[02:31.04]and I remembered that sometimes
[02:34.05]my aunt would hang clothes out to dry on the front porch.
[02:38.93]This must have been what I had seen, right?
[02:42.67]Maybe it was a sheet or something.
[02:45.78]I asked her at breakfast
[02:47.65]if she had left any clothes out on the porch last night.
[02:52.50]She said she didn't dry anything at all yesterday!
[02:56.96]There was no other explanation for what I had seen.
[03:01.71]Honestly, I really didn't think a sheet
[03:05.25]could have looked like that, anyway.
[03:08.62]This thing's movement was too animated⁶ to be a sheet.
[03:13.39]I guess I just wanted to think that.
[03:27.01]讲解
[05:53.21]语言点
[05:54.89]as long as  只要
[05:58.38]so long as
[06:01.04]You may borrow this book
[06:02.58]as long as you promise to give it back.
[06:10.43]kind of
[06:19.07]a little
[06:25.63]kinda
[06:28.66]She looks kind of pale after her illness.
[06:36.23]fix on  使…集中于
[06:43.00]fix one's eyes on
[06:47.66]fix one's attention on
[06:50.79]You should fix your attention on the teacher in class.
[06:59.00]honestly
[07:03.03]to be honest  老实说
[07:11.20]frankly
[07:12.66]to be frank
[07:18.10]Frankly, you are not my type.
[07:35.06]I lay back down and tried to go back to sleep.
