THE CANTERVILLE GHOST A HYLO-IDEALISTIC ROMANCE
“THE OTIS GHOST
YE ONLIE TRUE AND ORIGINALE SPOOK
BEWARE OF YE IMITATIONS
ALL OTHERS ARE COUNTERFEITE”
“奥蒂斯幽灵
正宗真鬼，只此一家
小心仿冒
其他鬼怪均属仿品”
The whole thing flashed across him,He had been tricked foiled and outwitted!
He ground his toothless gums together; and raising his withered hands high above his head,swore,according to the picturesque phraseology of the antique school ,that when Chanticleer had sounded twice his merry horn,deeds of blood would be wrought,and Murder walk abroad with silent feet
电光火石之间，他想明白了整件事情，他上了当，吃了瘪，让人给耍了！
……他把干瘪的双手高高举过头顶，用古代学校里教授的奇特措辞发了誓：鸡唱两遍之时，血腥之事将得履行，杀戮将悄然来临
Hour after hour he waited ,but the cock,for some strange readon,did not crow again
等了一个又一个小时，可是不知道为什么，那只鸡再也不叫了。
He muttered, I have seen the day when,with my stout spear, i would have run him through the gorge, and made him crow for me as twere in death!
他喃喃自语，总有一天，我要用我的利矛刺穿它的喉咙，让它给我叫，死了也要叫！
To her immense suprise,however,it was the Canterville Ghost himself! He was sitting by the window,watching the ruined gold of yellowing trees fly through the air,and the red leaves dancing madly down the long avenue.
His head was leaning on his hand,and his whole attitude was one of extreme depression.
她万万没想到，房里的竟然正是坎特维尔幽灵！幽灵坐在窗边，看金色的落叶从渐渐枯黄的树上飘落空中，红叶在长长的林荫道上疯狂乱舞。他用手支着头，整个幽灵看起来极度地消沉。
“ Far away beyond the pine woods,; he answered, in a low dreamy voice, there is a little garden. There the grass grows long and deep, there are the great white stars of the hemlock flower,there the nightingale sings all night long. All night long he sings, and the cold, crystal moon looks down, and the yew tree spreads out its giant arms over the sleepers”
远处的松树林外，幽灵用梦一般的低沉声音回答道，一座小花园。那里的草又长又深，那里的毒芹草开着星星般美丽的白色花朵，那里的夜莺整夜歌唱。他整夜整夜地唱啊唱，冷冷的水晶般的月亮俯瞰下方，紫杉树张开巨大的臂膀，覆盖着安息的人们
When a golden girl can win
Prayer from out the lips of sin,
When the barren almond bears,
And a little child give away its tears,
Then shall all the house be still
And peace come to Canterville.
当一个金子般的女孩
从罪恶的口中赢来感戴，
当无果的杏树硕果累累，
当一个小孩酒下泪水，
这座宅院会归于平静，
坎特维尔将重获安宁。
