Graveyard1 Scare 墓地惊魂
One dark night two guys were walking home after a party and decided2 to take a shortcut3 through the cemetery4. When they got to about the middle of the graveyard they were startled and stopped moving.  There was this terrifying noise, “TAP-TAP-TAP” coming from the shadows. Trembling with fear, they spotted5 an old man with a hammer and chisel6, chipping away at one of the headstones.  "Holy cow, Mister,” one of them said after catching7 his breath. “You SCARED us half to death. We thought you were a GHOST! What are you doing working here so late at night?" "Those fools!" the old man grumbled8. "They misspelled my name!!"

一个漆黑的夜晚,两个小伙子参加完聚会,决定抄近路穿过一片坟地走回家。走到坟地的中间,从阴暗处传出来恐怖的“嗒、嗒、嗒”声音,吓得他们再也走不动了。浑身颤抖着,他们发现有个老人正拿着榔头和凿子凿一块墓碑。“噢,主啊,”其中一个屏住呼吸说,“你吓死我们了,我们还以为你是鬼了。这么晚了你在这干什么呢?”“这些傻瓜!”老人抱怨说,“他们拼错了我的名字!”
