闹鬼的酒店

嘿。

Hey.

我是你们最喜欢的秘密播客里那位最喜欢的秘密主持人。

It's your favorite secret host here from your favorite secret podcast.

今天我的冒险带我去了五大湖地区最棒的城市之一。

My adventure today took me to one of the finest cities on the Great Lakes.

但这里可不止有香肠和奶酪凝块。

But it wasn't all sausages and cheese curds.

不。

No.

这是一桩让我吓得不的中西部谜案。

This was a Midwest mystery that scared me silly.

别走开，接下来要讲吓人的细节。

Stick around for the spooky details.

我是卡莉·Q，这里是《谁、何时、哇——谜案版》。

I'm Carly Q, and this is Who, When, Wow Mystery Edition.

我今天走进办公室的时候，心情特别好，脚步都轻快。

I came into the office today with a real pep in my step.

嘿，琳达。

Hey, Linda.

早上好，卡莉·Q。

Morning, Carly Q.

最近一切顺利，看起来不错，感觉也很棒。

Things have been going well, looking good, and feeling great.

今天阳光透过办公室的窗户洒进来。

The sun is shining through the windows of the office today.

我说得对吧？

Am I right?

我和刘易斯一直在拼命破解那些时间封印的谜团。

Lewis and I have been solving the pants off our time seal mysteries.

我在BUTTHED的本职工作也干得不错，还和我的好伙伴尼布斯和奥蒂度过了很棒的时光。

I've been doing a good job at my actual job here at BUTTHED, and I've had some excellent bonding time with my main buddies, Nibbles and Oaty.

好吧。

Alright.

最后看一眼窗户，最后看一眼灯光，然后我就要下到地下室去了，那里既没有窗户也没有灯光，但我还是感觉不错。

Last look at the windows, last look the lights before I go down to the basement where there is neither, but I still feel good about it.

今天早上我一下到地下室，一切就都崩塌了。

It all came crashing down when I got into the basement this morning.

我桌上这是什么？

What is this on my desk?

一封没有寄件地址的信？

A letter with no return address?

亲爱的卡莉·Q。

Dear Carly Q.

哦，不。

Oh, no.

这正是我一直担心的事情。

It was everything I had feared.

我知道你在搞什么鬼，卡莉。

I know what you're up to, Carly.

我知道你一直在调查那些时间密封的档案，还偷偷在午休时间用时间电梯。

I know you've been investigating time sealed files and secretly using the time elevator on your lunch breaks.

你的秘密可没你想的那么安全。

Your secret is in a safe as you think it is.

我最可怕的噩梦成真了。

My worst nightmare was coming true.

有人盯上我们了。

Someone's onto us.

不。

No.

不。

No.

不。

No.

就在刘易斯从楼上下来的时候，尼布斯从我桌上的盆栽里冒了出来。

Nibbles popped up from the potted plant on my desk just as Lewis came down from upstairs.

卡莉，我们一直收到投诉，说地下室有人在喊“不”。

Carly, we've been getting complaints about someone in the basement yelling, no.

是你吗？

Was that you?

他们知道了。

They know.

他们知道了。

They know.

有人知道了。

Somebody knows.

你看，我把那封信给刘易斯和尼布斯看了。

Look, I showed Lewis and Nibbles the letter.

不。

No.

我就是这么说的。

That's what I said.

你看，我就觉得有人在盯着我们。

See, I had a feeling we were being watched.

好问题，尼布斯。

Good question, Nibbles.

我也不知道是谁寄来的。

I have no idea who it's from.

署名是“匿名”。

It's signed Anonymous.

乔伊·匿名？

Joey Anonymous?

我认识他。

I know him.

他在六楼的信息技术部门工作。

He works in IT on the 6th Floor.

他电脑很厉害，但依我看，他惹出的麻烦比解决的还多。

Big computer whiz, but he causes more problems than he fixes if you ask me.

我同意尼布斯的看法。

I agree with Nibbles.

我觉得这是另一个匿名者。

I think this is a different Anonymous.

这个人显然不想签真名。

This person obviously didn't wanna sign their real name.

但他们为什么想让我们知道他们知情呢？

But why do they want us to know that they know?

他们难道不能直接把这封信发给那些讨厌的上司吗？

Couldn't they have just sent this to the BUTTHED bosses instead?

你

You

不觉得他们已经发了吗？

don't think they have?

你觉得他们不会吗？

You don't think they will?

我不知道。

I don't know.

但我还没来得及回应，

But before I could respond,

就像一个时间胶囊。

like a time still file.

1893年，威斯康星州密尔沃基。

1893 Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

传闻。

Rumors.

那里闹鬼。

It's haunted.

威斯康星州人口最多的城市里有什么闹鬼的东西？

Something haunted in Wisconsin's most populous city?

这几乎让我兴奋得忘了这封信。

That's almost exciting enough to make me forget about this letter.

你觉得这封信是关于什么的？

What do you think it's about?

也许是密尔沃基博物馆里的怪物？

Maybe a Milwaukee museum monster?

一个凶残的啤酒厂野兽？

A brutal brewery beast?

一个吓人的夏日节稻草人？

A spooky summer fest scarecrow?

一个冻蛋奶羹海怪。

A frozen custard kraken.

你说什么？

Say what now?

刘易斯，密尔沃基可是世界冻蛋奶羹之都。

Milwaukee's the frozen custard capital of the world, Lewis.

打字机也是在那里发明的。

The typewriter was also invented there.

我永远无法理解你的脑回路。

I will never understand how your brain works.

我拿出我的掌上数字助理设备，等等，停一下。

I pulled out my handheld digital assistance device Freeze that.

然后把文件里的线索输入进去。

And plugged in the clues from the file.

1893年，威斯康星州密尔沃基，庞顿酒店。

1893, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Hotel Ponton.

这很可能指的是菲斯特酒店，那是密尔沃基一家建于1893年的豪华酒店，以闹鬼和其他超自然事件闻名。

This most likely refers to the Pfister, a luxury hotel in Milwaukee built in 1893 that is known for ghost sightings and other paranormal occurrences.

太厉害了。

Incredible.

比鬼屋更棒的就是鬼酒店了。

The only thing better than a haunted house is a haunted hotel.

来打客场的棒球队通常都会住在这家酒店，因为要跟当地的密尔沃基酿酒人队比赛。

Visiting baseball teams typically stay in this hotel when they come to play the local Milwaukee brewer.

但有些球员会要求换地方住，因为他们担心闹鬼的酒店会影响他们在场上的表现。

But some players ask for alternate accommodations, fearing the haunted hotel may affect their performance on the field.

棒球表情，幽灵表情。

Baseball emoji, ghost emoji.

我特别好奇这背后到底有什么，也很想去调查一下，但也许这不是个好主意。

I am feeling very curious about what's behind it, and I would very much love to investigate, but maybe it's not such a great idea.

收到这封信之后，知道有人在盯着我们。

You know, after getting this letter and knowing that someone's onto us.

那倒是。

That's fair.

确实，真的确实。

Like, that's, like, definitely fair.

但话说回来，你真的想拒绝一个关于闹鬼酒店的神秘谜团吗？

But then again, you really wanna turn down a juicy mystery about a haunted hotel?

那只老鼠在说话，对吧？

The rat is talking, isn't she?

尼布尔斯说你说得有道理，而且被这家酒店吓到，也许比被这封信吓到要好受些。

Nibbles says that you make a good point, plus being spooked by this hotel might be a nice distraction from being spooked by this letter.

也有道理。

Also a good point.

好吧，行。

Okay, fine.

我被说服了。

I'm convinced.

这个谜团确实太好了，不能错过，但我有个条件才去。

This really is too good a mystery to pass up, but I'll only go on one condition.

别告诉任何人这封信的事。

Don't tell anyone about this letter.

连奥迪也不能说。

Not even Odie.

我们得把这个保密得严严实实的，超级特别绝密。

We've got to keep this double extra special extreme top secret.

就我们三个知道。

Just the three of us.

还有匿名者。

And Anonymous.

我们三个加上匿名者。

The three of us and Anonymous.

同意吗？

Agreed?

同意。

Agreed.

好。

Okay.

午饭时间我回到这里，先绕几圈确保没人跟踪我。

I'll see you back here at lunchtime after doubling back a few times to make sure no one follows me.

再见，卡莉·Q。

Bye, Carly Q.

尼布斯。

Nibbles.

好主意，刘易斯。

Good plan, Lewis.

尼布斯，你留在这里当我们的看门狗，盯着点情况。

Nibbles, you're gonna stay here as our watchdog and keep an eye on things.

哇。

Wow.

不错嘛。

Not bad.

接下来的几个小时，我试图做点工作，但大部分时间只是反复重读那封信，心里有点害怕。

I spent the next few hours trying to get some work done, but mostly just rereading the letter over and over in a mild state of terror.

不知不觉中……

And before I knew it...

注意了，BUTTHED的员工们。

Attention, BUTTHED employees.

往上冲吧。

Launch your way up.

对。

Yes.

到处转转，留意一下情况。

Throw it around, keep an eye on stuff.

我抓起HDAD，跟看门老鼠Nibbles道了别，然后我们就冲向电梯。

I grabbed HDAD, said goodbye to Nibbles the watch rat, and we took off for the elevator.

最重要的是，玩得开心。

Most importantly, have fun.

你好。

Hello.

嗨，Ody。

Hi, Ody.

你们好啊，两位。

Hello, you two.

今天有什么谜团吗？

Mystery do we have today?

谜团？

Mystery?

哦，那肯定不是我桌上出现的那张匿名纸条。

Oh, well it certainly is not an anonymous note that showed up on my desk.

她指的是时间封印的谜团。

She means time sealed mystery.

哦，对。

Oh, right.

当然，那个谜团。

Of course, that mystery.

卡莉，你怎么了？

What is going on with you, Carly?

没什么。

Nothing.

总之，今天我们有个吓人的故事。

Anyhoo, today we've got a spooky one.

讲的是密尔沃基一家著名的闹鬼酒店，把一群棒球运动员都吓跑了。

It's all about a famous haunted hotel in Milwaukee that scared off a bunch of baseball players.

真是个变化球，

A real curveball,

你懂的。

if you know what I mean.

哦，不错，刘易斯。

Oh, nice Lewis.

我懂你的意思，刘易斯，我喜欢。

I see what you did there Lewis and I like it.

本垒打，全场欢呼。

Home run, the crowd goes round.

好了，别再说了。

Okay, don't push it.

我能说什么呢？

What can I say?

前几周刚讲了“圣婴诅咒”，现在又来个棒球谜案？

First the curse of the bambino the other week, now another baseball mystery?

这真是双杀啊。

Call that a real double play.

行吧，

Alright,

说到这家酒店，我想你可能想见见它的创始人查尔斯·菲斯特，那是在十九世纪九十年代。

so this hotel, I imagine you might want to speak with the founder, Charles Pfister, back in the eighteen nineties.

别忘了我们的时间旅行规则，

Now let's not forget our time travel rules,

不能改变过去，还有……

no change in the past, and...

午饭前得回来。

Be back by the end of lunchtime.

没错。

That's right.

既然你们要回到十九世纪九十年代，我会把电梯设置好，帮你们换好衣服。

And since you're going back to the eighteen nineties, I'll program the elevator to update your wardrobe.

好的。

Okay.

我觉得你们两位击球手已经准备好上场了。

I think you two batters are ready to step up to the plate.

不错。

Nice.

不过要记住，原因可以让结果变得不那么……

Just remember though, the why can make the what less...

你说什么？

Come again?

好的。

Okay.

给你。

Here you go.

现在要小心那些烤肉了。

Now be afraid of those roasts.

好的。

Okay.

看起来我们好像在菲斯特酒店后面的走廊里。

Looks like we're in some sort of back corridor of the Pfister Hotel.

我觉得这里有个派对。

I think there's a party.

看看这装饰。

Look at the decor.

这地方真高档。

This place is swanky.

哦，这些衣服也是。

Oh, and so are these outfits.

看，给你一个闪亮的发箍。

Look, have a sparkly headband.

我有一条领带。

And I have a tie.

我们转过街角，发现自己来到了酒店的大堂。

We walked around the corner and found ourselves in the grand lobby of the hotel.

那里真漂亮。

It was beautiful.

高高的天花板，华丽的地砖，穿着考究的酒店客人和密尔沃基的达官贵人谈笑风生。

High ceilings, a gorgeous tiled floor, and well dressed hotel guests hobnobbing with Milwaukee's rich and famous.

女士们穿着泡泡袖连衣裙，男士们穿着深色燕尾服，系着白色领结。

Ladies in puffy sleeve dresses, men in dark tail coats with white bow ties.

这才是我喜欢的派对。

Now this is my kind of party.

路易斯，我们专心点。

Let's stay focused, Lewis.

我们在找这家酒店闹鬼的证据。

We are looking for any evidence that this hotel is haunted.

哦，查尔斯。

Oh, Charles.

你真是超常发挥了。

You've really outdone yourself.

这家酒店简直太美了。

This hotel is absolutely stunning.

谢谢。

Thank you.

非常感谢。

Thank you so much.

嘿，你听到了吗？

Hey, did you hear that?

我觉得那边那个人应该就是奥迪提到的老板，查尔斯·普菲斯特。

I think that guy over there must be the owner Odi mentioned, Charles Pfister.

我们去打个招呼吧。

Let's go say hi.

查尔斯看起来是个和蔼的人，圆脸，白发梳得整整齐齐。

Charles was a kind looking man with a round face and neatly combed white hair.

我们悄悄走到他身边，打了个招呼。

We sidled up to him and said hello.

你好，先生。

Hello, good sir.

你好，老兄。

Greetings, old chap.

老兄？

Old chap?

记住，我可是个演员。

Remember, I'm an actor.

让我猜猜。

Let me guess.

你们俩一定是那些有进取心的年轻报社记者吧？

You two must be enterprising young reporters from the newspapers?

是的。

Yes.

我们是两家报社的记者，来报道你们新酒店的开业。

Two newspaper reporters here to report on the opening of your new hotel.

就是我们。

That's us.

我是刘易斯·普利策，这是我的搭档，卡莉·普莱斯。

I'm Lewis Pulitzer, and this is my partner, Carly Price.

对。

Yes.

关于建造这个地方，你能告诉我们些什么？

What can you tell us about building this place?

施工期间有没有发生什么诡异的事情？

Did anything spooky happen while you were under construction?

诡异？

Spooky?

就是吓人、奇怪、阴森、毛骨悚然、怪诞、让人起鸡皮疙瘩那种？

You know, scary, odd, sinister, eerie, weird, creepy, uncanny?

那这个呢？

How about this?

你认识什么人，死后可能会留在这里变成鬼魂的那种？

Know anyone who might be the type to stick around after death and become a ghost?

你说什么？

Excuse me?

有没有什么员工，个人问题还没解决的？

You know, any staff members with unresolved personal issues.

不开心的员工。

Unhappy staff members.

我们刚开业。

We just opened.

哦，对对对对。

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

当然。

Of course.

好吧，不好意思。

Well, excuse me.

我想我得去和别人谈谈了。

I believe I have to go talk with anyone else.

这个讨厌的家伙……

This vile chap...

查尔斯走开了，但就在这时，一个服务员朝我们走来。

Charles walked away, but just then, a waiter came up to us.

嘘。

Psst.

嘿。

Hey.

你们两位是来打听那些传闻的吗？

Are you two here about the rumors?

什么传闻？

What rumors?

关于墓地的传闻。

About the graveyard.

说这家酒店建在以前是私人墓地的土地上。

That this hotel was built on land that used to be a private burial ground.

什么？

What?

是真的。

It's true.

也许吧。

Maybe.

我朋友是从一个以前住在这附近小木屋里的人那里听说的，那还是在城市建起来之前很久的事了。

My friend heard it from a fellow who used to live in a log cabin near here long before the city got built up.

他说他们以前把人埋在这里，至少在那块地卖出去之前是这样。

He said they used to bury people here, at least until the land got sold.

我特别想知道更多，但还没来得及问后续问题……

I was desperate to know more, but before we could ask any follow-up questions...

等等……

Wait a...

哦，等等……

Oh, wait a...

不好意思。

Excuse me.

我们是不是该偷偷溜回电梯？

Think maybe we should sneak back to the elevator?

我想也是。

I guess so.

也许我们可以用电梯快进几年？

Maybe we could use the elevator to fast forward a few years?

去找那些棒球运动员聊聊？

Go talk to the baseball players?

比如谁？

Like who?

HDAD，能给我们一份在这里报告过灵异事件的棒球运动员名单吗？

HDAD, can we get a list of baseball players who've reported paranormal stuff here?

收到。

Affirmative.

幽灵表情。

Ghost emoji.

尖叫脸表情。

Screaming face emoji.

看看这个。

Look at this.

每个人在这里的停留时间都有一个小的迷你时间封印。

Each one has a little mini time seal covering their stay here.

哦，但这个可能有用。

Oh, but this one might work.

一个叫比利·斯塔克斯的球员。

A player named Billy Stackers.

他2006年在这里有过一次灵异经历，但2009年又住了一次。

He had a haunting experience here in 2006, but then stayed again in 2009.

也许我们可以去他第二次入住的那晚，问问第一次发生了什么？

Maybe we go to the night of his second visit and ask what happened the first time?

哦，好主意，卡莉。

Oh, good idea, Carly.

我们

Let's

就这么办吧。

do it.

回到电梯里，我输入了2009年的坐标，感觉挺有意思的。

Back in the elevator, I punched in the coordinates for 2000 and 9, and I'm feeling fun.

我们再次走出来，到了之前那条走廊。

We stepped back out into the same corridor as before.

酒店看起来和之前差不多，不过有些地方翻新了，换上了更现代的家具。

The hotel looked mostly the same, though a few things had been renovated with more modern furnishings.

好的。

Okay.

那我们去哪儿？

So where to?

档案上说这个叫比利的家伙住在309房间。

The file says this Billy guy is in Room 309.

走吧。

Let's go.

五分钟后，爬了两层楼梯，我们来到了棒球手比利的房门外。

5 Minutes and two flights of stairs later, we were outside Billy the baseball player's door.

你好。

Hello.

嗨，比利。

Hi there, Billy.

我们想问你几个关于你上次住这里的问题。

We were hoping to ask you a few questions about the last time you stayed here.

哦，你是说，关于那些鬼魂的事？

Oh, you mean like, about the ghosts?

是的。

Yes.

那你们是某种超自然现象调查员吗？

Are you some kind of paranormal investigators then?

就像穆德和斯卡利那种搭档？

This Mulder and Scully situation?

什么？

What?

确实是的。

Sure is.

我是莫迪。

I'm Moldy.

这位是骷髅脸。

This is skull face.

哦，刘易斯，别闹了。

Oh, Lewis, please stop.

别这样。

Just don't.

好吧。

Okay.

进来吧。

Come on in.

上次我住这儿的时候，事情是这样的。

Here's what happened last time I stayed here.

事情是从我去洗澡的时候开始的。

It started when I went to take a shower.

我动作挺快的，但等我出来的时候，我所有的东西都被动过了。

I was pretty quick, but when I came back out, all of my things had been moved around.

比如什么？

Like what?

你的衣服、棒球棒那些东西？

Your clothes and your baseball bats and stuff?

他们通常不让我们带棒球棒，不过除此之外，是的。

They don't usually let us take bats with us, but otherwise, yes.

就这些吗？

So that was it?

什么东西被动了？

What was moved around?

那只是开始。

That was just the start.

我以为是队友在跟我开玩笑。

I figured one of my teammates was just playing a prank on me.

但穿好衣服后，我听到门口有像动物抓挠的声音。

But after I got dressed, I heard these scratchings at the door like an animal.

海狸，

Beaver,

浣熊、考拉、野狗。

raccoon, koala, dingo.

我们在威斯康星，卡莉，不是澳大利亚。

We're in Wisconsin, Carly, not Australia.

有道理。

Fair.

我只知道当我走到走廊去看时，那里空无一人。

All I know is when I went into the hallway to look around, it was empty.

但就在这时，我看到有个东西飘在空中。

But just then, I saw this thing floating in the air.

像什么？

Like what?

像鬼一样。

Like a ghost.

对，我当时也吓坏了。

Yeah, I was freaked too.

我吓得跑回房间，把门锁上了。

I was so scared I ran back into my room and locked the door.

那一整晚我几乎没睡。

I hardly slept that whole night.

他们告诉我们这次要回来这里的时候，我说除非给我换房间，否则我就不住。

When they told us we were coming back here for this trip, I said I'd only stay if they gave me a different room.

这次什么都没发生吗？

And nothing's happened this time?

到目前为止还挺安静的。

It's been quiet so far.

那你看到的那个鬼，具体长什么样？

So about this ghost you saw, what exactly did it look like?

有点蓝蓝的，模模糊糊的。

It was sort of blue and hazy.

我看不太清楚，但我能明显感觉到那是个白头发的老头。

I mean, I couldn't really make it out very well, but I did get the distinct impression that it was an older man with white hair.

哎呀，这让我想起以前的事了。

Oh boy, this is bringing back the memories.

你还好吗，比利？

You okay, Billy?

没事，没事。

Fine, fine.

我就是想泡个热水澡放松一下。

I just need to take a warm bath and relax.

也许做做瑜伽。

Maybe do some yoga.

好的，但我觉得这是我们该走的时候了

Okay, but I think that's our cue to

走吧，卡莉。

go, Carly.

让他放松一下。

Get him relax.

再见，比利。

Bye, Billy.

哎哟。

Ow.

他是什么？

What is he?

那个老人的鬼魂。

The old man's ghost.

我……我是个鬼。

I'm I'm a ghost.

嘿。

Hey.

等等。

Wait.

你怎么突然就结束了？

Why'd you cut it short like that?

我还有好多问题想问呢。

I had so many other questions to ask.

因为他明显已经不舒服了。

Because he was clearly getting uncomfortable.

我们需要给他

We needed to give him

一些空间。

some space.

而且，这也给了我们

Plus, this gives us

一个机会去做点别的事情。

a chance to do something else.

别的事情？

Something else?

什么？

What?

抓鬼？

Ghostbusting?

哦，

Oh,

对。

yes.

刘易斯，忘了我曾经怀疑过你。

Lewis, forget I ever doubted you.

我不会忘的，但谢谢你。

I won't, but thank you.
