萬聖節英語鬼故事6及譯文：老婦人

There was an old woman who lived all by herself, and she was very lonely. Sitting in the kitchen one night, she said, "Oh, I wish I had some company."

No sooner had she spoken than down the chimney tumbled two feet from which the flesh had rotted. The old woman's eyes bulged with terror.

Then two legs dropped to the hearth and attached themselves to the feet.

Then a body tumbled down, then two arms, and a man's head.

As the old woman watched, the parts came together into a great, tall man. The man danced around and around the room. Faster and faster he went. Then he stopped, and he looked into her eyes.

"What do you come for?" she asked in a small voice that shivered and shook.

"What do I come for?" he said. "I come for YOU!"

(The narrator shouts and jumps at the person near him!)

中文：

從前有一個老婦人。她獨自一人生活，非常孤獨。一天晚上，她坐在廚房裏，自言自語到：“要是有人能陪陪我就好了。”

她剛説完，就順着煙囱掉下來兩隻腳，腳上的肉都已經腐爛了。老婦人嚇得眼睛都突了出來。然後又掉下來兩條腿，並自動和腳接了起來。之後又陸陸續續掉下了身子、胳膊和頭。

老婦人眼看着這些部位接了起來，最後組成了一個高高大大的人。這個人在屋子裏面跳舞，跳得越來越快，然後突然停下來，盯住老婦人的眼睛。

“你想做什麼?”老婦人用顫抖的聲音低聲問到。

“我想做什麼?我就是來找你的。”
