英语灵异故事-Dark Falls Elementary (黑暗降临小学)01

I stood there in the dark shadowy forest that surrounded the old run down school. It was a tall, red brick¹ building with windows boarded up on every side of the building. There was a big wooden sign with blue letters that said the name of the school when it was built in 1908, but it was only open a few years. It closed down in 1913. Nobody really knows why it was there for only a short time. There was only one man alive that went to that school, but he has not talked since. He is in the hospital, suffering from cancer. I have always wanted to see him, but there's really no point if he can't talk.

黑暗中，我站在阴影幢幢的树林里，这片树林围绕着一座破旧废弃的学校。校舍很高，用红砖砌成，每面窗户都用木板封住了。墙上有一块大木牌，上面用蓝色的字体书写着学校的名字，学校建于1908年，但是只开放了数年，1913年就关闭了。没人知道为什么这所学校只开放了这么短的一段时间。在这所学校上过学的人，只有一个还活着，但是从那以后他就再也没有说过话。他得了癌症，住在医院里。我一直都想见见他，但是如果他不能说话，见他也没有什么意义。

1 brick   

n.砖；vt.用砖砌，用砖堵住
