老外讲 Ghost story：路灯下人

THE MAN UNDER THE STREETLIGHT
 Oh, I'm scared of the dark. I have a good reason for it. You might be thinking, so almost everyone is scared of the dark because something happened to them. That is true for me, too. Here's my story. About two years ago, I ran away from home. I don't know just what I was thinking at the time. But I left with no food, no water, no belongings, and no coat. It was a very rainy day, and I sense that I should either find shelter or i'd be soaking wet.
 I decided to walk to my school and stay there for a few hours to dry off as I was already wet and cold. On a rainy day. As I arrived, I lay down my head and quickly fell asleep. When I woke up, it was pitch black outside. I could barely make out anything. I didn't have a watch or anything. That tells the time. So I assumed it was midnight. at least it stopped raining. I thought I decided to just go back home as I wasn't far. And I was very hungry that time as I got up, I stopped.
 There was something in front of me under a street light about 50 yards away. It was a man about six feet tall, and he was wearing a black coat with a hoodie over his face. So I couldn't see his face. At first, I thought it was my dad who had come to look for me, so I felt relief, but I didn't want to get into trouble. So I hid in a bush nearby and picked out. The man was standing there and looked around for what it seemed like a half an hour, then under the light of the street light, he pulled something out of his pocket.
 I couldn't make it out at first, but then I realized it was a kitchen knife. Then he started to run toward the bushes, know towards me exactly. I grew frightened and sprinted out of the bushes like an arrow. He already knew I was there. I didn't stop running until I got home without ever looking back. So I survived. But to this day, I still wonder what would have happened if I didn't run on that day or worse. What would have happened if I didn't wake up at the school?
 I developed my fear of the dark from this incident. It's so bad that now I have to sleep with a night light or the hallway light occasionally because I'm afraid that the man whom I saw will kill me or kidnap me someday. If I don't turn the light on, yeah, yeah.

路灯下那人
我怕黑。我有一个很好的理由。你可能会想，所以几乎每个人都害怕黑暗，因为发生了什么事。对我来说也是如此。这是我的故事。大约两年前，我离家出走。我不知道我当时在想什么。但是我离开的时候没有食物，没有水，没有东西，也没有外套。那天雨下得很大，我觉得我要么找个地方躲起来，要么全身湿透。
我决定步行去学校，在那里呆几个小时，因为我已经又湿又冷了。在雨天。当我到达时，我躺了下来，很快就睡着了。我醒来时，外面一片漆黑。我几乎什么也看不清。我没有手表之类的东西。那表示时间。所以我以为是午夜了。至少雨停了。我想我决定回家了，因为我离家不远。那时候我很饿，当我起来的时候，我停了下来。
在我前面50码开外的路灯下有什么东西。那是一个大约六英尺高的男人，穿着一件黑色外套，脸上盖着一件连帽衫。所以我看不到他的脸。起初，我以为是我爸爸来找我，所以我感到轻松，但我不想惹上麻烦。所以我躲在附近的灌木丛里，把它们挑出来。那人站在那里，四处张望了大约半个小时，然后在路灯的灯光下，他从口袋里掏出了什么东西。
起初我看不出来，但后来我意识到那是把菜刀。然后他开始向灌木丛跑去，确切地知道是朝着我。我吓得像箭一样从灌木丛中冲了出来。他已经知道我在那里了。我没有停止跑步直到我回到家没有回头。所以我活了下来。但直到今天，我仍然在想，如果我那天不跑步，或者更糟，会发生什么。如果我不在学校醒来会发生什么?
我对黑暗的恐惧源于这件事。现在我不得不偶尔开着夜灯或走廊灯睡觉，这太糟糕了，因为我害怕我看到的那个人有一天会杀了我或绑架我。如果我不开灯，是的，是的。
