大家有兴趣的看看吧。感觉这个挺难的,反正对我挺难的,很多单词我都不认识,看的很有压力。。大家自己看看吧
Hidden Stairs

To start off, I have always been interested in the paranormal, but never experienced anything abnormal until I switched bedrooms when I was a teenager.
My family and I used to live in an old barn house that was built in the late 1800's. The house had only two families living it prior to mine. Coincidentally, the first residing family were my ancestors, however the story I am about to tell had to do with the family in between and their little girl.
When I was younger, before highschool, my parents were rennovating the upstairs (keep in mind too that at this point the house had already gone under some major rennovations, and a lot of the original structure of the house had been changed), and as a child I was NEVER allowed upstairs. My parents were afraid that my sister and I would get hurt if we played up there, so it was OFF LIMITS!! Because our second floor was in that condition, my sister and I shared a room on the first floor. When I was 13, the upstairs was finished and we were allowed to move up there.
I was in the process of moving my things into my OWN room, and stop in the middle of moving to sit down and admire my new room. It had a cathedral ceiling, with a fan at the top and the beams that supported the roof were exposed. I had a beautiful bay window, overlooking the street in front of my house. If you were standing in front of the window facing the inside of my room, you could see my closet doors, and to the left you could see my door. Just outside the door to my room you could see down into the bottom part of the house, sort of like an inside balcony.
Anyway, while I was lying on my floor admiring my new room, I drifted off to sleep. I dont know how long was I sleeping, I guess it really doesn't matter, what matters is what I dreamed about. In my dream, I was standing outside my new room in front of the doorway, looking in. Everything about room was the same as it was when I fell asleep, except that where a floor should have been in front of my door, was a whole and set of stairs leading down, into what was at that time my parents bedroom, but in my dream in led into a non-existant hallway. Lying in a heap at the bottom of the stairs was a little girl in a light blue dress spring dress. Her blonde hair was tossed around head and her neck was bent at an unnatural angle. In my dream, all I did was look at her. I said nothing, and nothing was said to me. The one thing that I remember the most, is the feeling that I got at the beginning of my dream and at the end. When I first saw the girl, I felt this overwhelming sense of sadness. After I stared at her for a while the feeling changed to, I don't know, I guess relief. Like the sadness was lifted away.
When I woke up, the sun was down and the stars were out. I got up, and rubbed the sleepy dust out of my eyes and went downstairs to get some dinner. When I got downstairs, my mom was in the kitchen. She asked me if I was enjoying my new room. Without answering her question, I asked her if the family before us ever had any children. She said yes, there was a girl and a boy. She proceeded to take me to our barn, which was attached to the house and showed me where the family had marked their names ages and heights on a post. Her name was Mandie. My nick name is Mandy. I asked my mom if anything happened to the girl. She said that sadly the little girl died when she was about my age. I aksed my mom if she knew how she died, she said no.
Curious still, I asked my mom if there was ever a hallway in her room or a set of stairs in mine. She looked me funny and told me to follow her once again. She led me to my room and lifted up the carpet in front of my bedroom door. She showed me the outline in the floor of where a set of stairs used to be and told me that they led to a hallway downstairs, and that in turn led a door that had long since been boarded up, before we moved in.
I have never experienced anything like that since, but I am convinced that because of my age and name that Mandie's ghost could finally move on and trust that I was going to be taking care of what I believe to be her room, from now on.

我自己翻译的很差,大致能看吧,我翻有道翻了好,郁闷。

从前,我对那些非科学解释的事情很感兴趣,却从没经历过这些,直到在我青年时期,换了间卧室以后……

我们一家从前住在一个建于19世纪晚期的老货仓里。在此之前,这房子只有2户人家居住过。巧合的是,第一个家庭是我的祖先。现在, 我要告诉你们的这个故事是关于这个家庭和家里的小女孩的。

当我很小的时候,在上高中之前,我的父母装修过楼上(记忆之中,这房子很早就被装修过了,并且许多原始结构都被改变了)。因为年纪小,我从不被允许上楼。我的父母害怕我和我妹妹会在上面玩导致受伤,所以我从没进入过。因为二楼情况特殊,所以我和我的妹妹在一楼共用一个房间。当我13岁时,我才被允许上楼。

在我搬东西到我房间中途,我休息下,坐下来欣赏我的新房间。它有一个大教堂的天花板,以扇子在顶梁支撑屋顶。我有一个美丽的凸窗,可以俯瞰我房子前的街道。如果你站在这窗户前看我房间里面,你可以看到我的衣柜门,往左可以看到我的房门。就在我的房门外,你可以看到我房子的底部,有点像一个内部阳台。

无论如何,当我躺在我的地板上欣赏我的新房间,我渐渐地进入了梦乡。我不知道我睡了多久,但这不重要,重要的是我梦到的饿内容。在梦中,我站在我新房间的门前,往里看。房间里的一切都正常的,当我睡着时。除了本应该在我门前的地板,连在一块了,通往当时我父母的房间。但是在梦中,通往了一个不存在的走廊。躺在一堆楼梯底下的是一个身穿淡蓝色礼服的小姑娘。她金色的头发散披着,她的颈部扭曲地反常。在梦中,我就只是看着她。我什么都没说,也没有什么声音对我说话。我记得最清楚的是我在梦境开始和结束的感觉。我第一次见到这女孩,就感到势不可挡的哀伤。我盯着她看了一段时间后,感觉有点变了,但说不出来,我只想解脱。就像悲伤没了。

当我醒来时,太阳下山了,星星出来了。我起来。揉了揉沉睡的眼睛,下楼吃晚饭了。我下楼时,母亲在厨房,她问我喜不喜欢我的新房间。我没有回答她这个问题,而是问她在我们之前,家里有没有过小孩。她说有,有过一个小男孩和小女孩。她带我去家旁的谷仓,这里有着我们家族的年龄以及历代名字。那个小女孩的名字是Mandie,我的小名是Mandy。我问妈妈那个小女孩是不是发生过什么。妈妈很难过地告诉我,那个小女孩在我这个年纪的时候死了。我问妈妈知不知道她怎么死的,妈妈说不知道。

我还是好奇,我问妈妈她房间是不是有个走廊和我房间连着。她很有趣地看着我,让我跟她走。她带我到我房间,然后拿起我房门口的地毯。她向我展示了一个曾经楼梯的轮廓,告诉我他们楼下的走廊,这反过来又导致一个门,早已被封,在我们搬进来。告诉我楼下有个走廊,但是在我们搬进来之前早就被封了。

从此我再也没经历过这个了。但是我深信因为我的年纪和姓名相似,Mandie的鬼魂最终可以前进,并且从现在开始,我会好好看着她的房间。

我来发一个恐怖但不诡异的故事。。。话说这还是一次我们英语听力测试的文章。。。
  I had this nightmare Friday.In the middle of night I was awakened by some noise outside.So I put on a coat and went to the window to see what it was.A crowd were carrying a coffin(棺材)into the truck.A guy saw me and cried out,
  "Lady,you want to hop in?THERE 'S STILL ROOM FOR ONE MORE PASSENGER."
      Somehow I felt my hair raising and I shut the window and rushed back to my bed.
      
      The next daywas my day off.I'd done all the shopping in the big department building and was about to take the lift(电梯).It was almost full.Shall I take the stairs(楼梯)?I was hesitating when someone in the lift shouted,
      "Come on,Lady,THERE 'S STILL ROOM FOR ONE MORE PASSENGER."
      I was horrified and said NO!I was walking down the staircase when I heard a huge noise.The lift fell straight to the ground and there was no survivor.
