原文及翻译

I remember the first time that my parents left me home alone. I was very grown up and I thought that I would be just fine. I was fine for a while. I watched television and had something to eat. I called my friend on the phone and we talked for a while. then I sat down to read a book. The house was quiet, very quiet. I found myself listening very carefully. 

我记得父母第一次把我一个人留在家里。我已经长大了，我想我会没事的。有一段时间我过得很好。我看了电视，吃了点东西。我打电话给我的朋友，我们聊了一会儿。然后我坐下来看书。房子里很安静，非常安静。我发现自己听得很仔细。

I heard a tap tap tapping noise. I wondered where it was coming from. It seemed to be coming from the window. I turned out the lights so that nobody would see me and I peeked out the window carefully. I was expecting to see a robber tapping at my window. There was nobody there. It was just a tree branch swaying in the breeze and tapping at my window. I felt silly. 

我听到了敲敲敲的声音。我想知道它是从哪里传来的。它似乎是从窗户传来的。我关掉灯，这样就没人看见我了，我小心翼翼地从窗户往外看。我以为会看到一个强盗敲我的窗户。那里没有人。只有一根树枝在微风中摇曳，敲着我的窗户。我觉得自己很傻。

I turned on the lights and sat back down to read my book. A few minutes later I heard some creaking noises. I listened carefully. then I heard a clunking noise. I think it might have been the furnace. Then there was a whirring noise. My imagination began to play tricks on me. I was imagining that there were all kinds of creatures in the house. 

我打开灯，坐下来看书。几分钟后我听到了一些吱吱作响的声音。我仔细听了听。然后我听到了咔嗒声。我想那可能是炉子的声音。然后是呼呼声。我的想象力开始捉弄我。我想象着房子里有各种各样的生物。

I told myself to grow up, wouldn't let my imagination run away with me. I was glad when my parents got home. I told them about all the noises that I had heard. My parents laughed and said that all houses make noises, we're usually just so busy that we don't hear all the noises that go on. I have stayed home alone many times now. I just ignore all the little creaks and noises that I hear. 

我告诉自己要长大，不要让想象力带我走。当父母回家时，我很高兴。我告诉他们我听到的所有声音。我的父母笑着说，所有的房子都会发出声音，我们通常太忙了，以至于听不到所有的声音。我现在已经独自待在家里很多次了。我只是忽略了我听到的所有小吱吱声和噪音。

I'm still alert and listen for anything suspicious, but I know that there are lots of noises that are harmless. That tree that taps on my window still frightens me sometimes, but I'm a lot braver now than I was the first time that I stayed home alone.

我仍然保持警惕，听任何可疑的声音，但我知道有很多声音是无害的。那棵敲打我窗户的树有时仍然让我害怕，但现在我比第一次独自待在家里要勇敢得多。
