迪尔与布·拉德利

字幕原文

The new boy was named Dill. 新来的男孩名叫迪尔。

He was small and clever, 他个子小，很聪明，

and he came every summer to stay with his aunt next door. 每年夏天都来和隔壁的姨妈住在一起。

Jem, Dill, and I became best friends at once. 杰姆、迪尔和我立刻成了最好的朋友。

We played games all day long. 我们整天玩游戏。

But soon, one thing caught our minds more than anything else: the Radley house. 但很快，有一件事比其他任何事都更吸引我们的注意力：那就是拉德利家。

The Radley house was old and dark. 拉德利家又老又黑。

The windows were always closed. 窗户总是关着的。

No one ever went in, and no one ever came out. 从来没有人进去过，也从来没有人出来过。

Inside lived a man named Boo Radley. 里面住着一个名叫布·拉德利的人。

People said he never left the house—not for years and years. 人们说他从不离开房子——好多年了。

Some said he only came out at night. 有人说他只在晚上出来。

Some said he was crazy and dangerous. 有人说他疯了，很危险。

"They say he eats cats," Dill whispered. “他们说他吃猫，”迪尔小声说。

"And he watches you through the windows." “而且他会透过窗户看着你。”

None of us had ever seen Boo. 我们谁也没见过布。

That made him even more frightening, and even more interesting. 这让他变得更加可怕，也更加有趣。

We fear most what we do not understand. 我们最害怕我们不理解的事物。

Every day, we stared at that dark house and wondered about the strange man inside. 每天，我们都盯着那栋黑暗的房子，好奇里面那个奇怪的男人。

Then Dill had a bold and silly idea. 接着，迪尔有了一个大胆又愚蠢的主意。

"I dare you," he said to Jem, "to go and touch the Radley house." “我敢打赌，”他对杰姆说，“你不敢去碰拉德利家。”
