Through Time and Fog | 穿越迷雾

English Original

I was leaving my driveway to drive one mile to town. The road was lined with woods and a few scattered houses. I had just pulled out when a thick fog rolled in, creating a very creepy atmosphere at night. I had only gone half a block at most, moving very slowly, when I saw a very bright light through the fog. This was strange, as there was nothing near my house.

As I drove closer, I saw a Phillips 66 gas station. It hadn't been there the day before. In shock, I pulled in. A man came out. I asked him how a gas station could have been built so fast, and he looked at me strangely. He said it had been there for eight years.

I asked him where I was. When he told me, I began to shake uncontrollably. I was 300 miles from home! I looked at the clock; I had left my driveway only two minutes before.


中文翻译

我开车离开家,准备前往一英里外的小镇。道路两旁是树林和零星散布的房屋。我刚驶出不久,浓便弥漫开来,在夜晚营造出一种令人毛骨悚然的氛围。我缓慢前行,最多只走了半个街,便透过雾气看到一片非常明亮的光。这很奇怪,因为我家附近什么都没有。

当我得更近时,我看到了一座菲利普斯66号加油站。前一天它还不存在。我震惊地开了进去。一个男人走了出来。我问他加油站怎么可能建得这么快,他奇怪地看着我。他说这个加油站已经在这里八年了。

我问他我在哪里。当他告诉我时,我开始无法控制地颤抖。我竟然在离家300英里的地方!我看了看时钟;我离开家才仅仅两分钟。
