So this is a special English lesson.

是以，這是一堂特殊的英語課。

I thought, because Halloween is just around the corner, I should do a lesson on how to describe places that aren't the kind of places where people normally go.

我想，因為萬聖節就快到了在角落裡，我應該上一堂如何描述地點的課 這些地方不是人們通常會去的地方。

So I think we should get started right here. What do you think?

是以，我認為我們應該從這裡開始。你怎麼看？

So let's get started right here at this old abandoned house.

讓我們從這裡開始在這座廢棄的老房子裡。

Now, if I was to describe this house to you, I would probably describe it as a little bit scary.

現在，讓我來向你描述一下這棟房子、我可能會用 "有點嚇人 "來形容它。

This house is neglected.

這座房子被忽視了。

That means it hasn't been taken care of.

這說明還沒有處理好。

If you look inside, you can see that no one lives here.

如果你往裡面看，就會發現這裡沒有人居住。

And I do find this a little bit scary because even though no one lives here, you don't know what to expect.

我確實覺得這有點可怕因為即使沒有人住在這裡 你不知道會發生什麼。

So I would definitely say this house is neglected.

是以，我可以肯定地說，這所房子被忽視了。

We would also say it's derelict.

我們還可以說它是廢棄的。

That's another word we would use to describe a house like this.

我們會用另一個詞來形容這樣的房子。

I'm going to speak a little more quickly now and get out of here as soon as I can.

我現在要快一點說，然後儘快離開這裡。

You might also wonder if a house like this is haunted. When a house is haunted, it means that you think ghosts maybe live there.

您可以也不知道這樣的房子會不會鬧鬼 當一所房子鬧鬼時，意味著你認為那裡可能住著鬼魂。

I certainly wouldn't come back to this house at night.

我當然不會在晚上回到這所房子。

I don't actually believe in ghosts, but certainly if I came to this house at night, I would find it scary and I would probably start to wonder if it was haunted if I started to hear strange and weird noises.

我其實不相信有鬼，但如果我來到這所房子裡在晚上，我會覺得很可怕，我可能會開始想 如果我開始聽到奇怪和詭異的聲音，就說明這裡鬧鬼了。

Do you have a place in your town where you wouldn't go at night?

您的城市裡有您晚上不願意去的地方嗎？

We have places like that in our towns.

我們鎮上也有這樣的地方。

I'm at one right now, and of course, it's daytime.

我現在就在那裡，當然，現在是白天。

And if you think you don't have a place like this in your town, you should go look around, because you probably do.

如果你認為你的城市裡沒有這樣的地方，那你就錯了、你應該去四處看看，因為你很可能就是這樣做的。

I would describe this place as sketchy at night.

我會用 "簡陋 "來形容這個地方晚上

During the day, it's a very nice place to be.

白天，這裡是一個非常舒適的地方。

It's beautiful.

太美了

You can hear the water running beside me in the creek, but at night it's a little bit sketchy.

你可以聽到溪水在我身邊流淌、但到了晚上就有點不安全了。

When we describe a place as sketchy in English, we mean that it's a little bit dangerous.

當我們用英語描述一個地方很簡陋時、我們的意思是，這有點危險。

And we're usually talking about...

我們通常談論的...

Oh! There's a bit of an echo here.

哦，這裡有點回音。

We're usually talking about people who make the place a little bit sketchy.

我們通常說的是那些讓這個地方變得有點簡陋的人。

I'm going to guess that the people who hang out here like to put graffiti on the walls.

我猜他們喜歡在牆上塗鴉。

You can see some graffiti over there.

你可以看到那邊有一些塗鴉。

And they probably do other things that I'm guessing are illegal.

他們可能還做了其他我猜是違法的事情。

But a beautiful place during the day.

但白天卻是一個美麗的地方。

But definitely this is a sketchy place at night.

但晚上這裡肯定是個不安全的地方。

Shhh!

噓

Did you hear that sound?

In the woods at night, there are funny sounds.

夜晚的樹林裡有奇怪的聲音。

Sometimes you might hear a wolf howling or you might hear other animals scurrying in the night.

有時你可能會聽到狼嚎，或者你可能會聽到其他動物在夜裡竄來竄去。

And even worse, sometimes you might hear a sound and you don't recognize it.

更糟糕的是，有時你可能會聽到一個聲音，但卻認不出來。

So this could be a creepy place to be if it was the middle of the night.
