求译,总不是很理解.
Do you believe in ghosts?I don't,eitlter-or at least I didn't until I heard a strange story the other day from Mr Mike Paton,of 19 Marlborough llill.
It all began on November 28,whcn Mr Paton's eight-ycar-old son,Bob ,was playing in the big back garden of his parents' house.He met an old man with a long white beard.The old man told Bob he was builcling the underground railway there,but Bob didn't believe him.Bob told me afterwards that he knew the underground ran under Marlborough Hill itself.The old man said there had been an accident the day before.Then he went away.
At first the Patons didn't believe Bob's story.Mrs Paton told me that Bob often made up stories about ghosts and monsters,like other children of his age.But Mr Paton was curious and decided that he would go to the library to check up on the facts.
He found that the railway compapy had started to build the line to the west of Marlborough Hill in 1881.but they had run into an underground river.Ten workmen had died in an accident and the Company had changed the direction of the line and built the present tunnel under Marlborough Hill.At first I didn't believe Mr Paton's storv either,so I did some research myself.
Inspector Bright of the Metropolitan Police said it was natural to find tramps in the district in winter,but no one had reported one answering the description I had given him since last August.
Mr Joseph Griffiths of London Transport checked the files on the accident for me.He told me that the accident had apparently taken place on or very near the junction of Marlborough Hill and Woodstock Avenue on 27 November 1881.Mr Paton's house stands on the corner!
The source of this extraordinary story was not affected by the news.'I told Mummy it was true,' young Bob Paton told me yesterday.When I left the house he was playing happily with his toy cars-in the garden!

你相信有鬼魂么?起初我也不信,直到那天我听到了麦克.派顿(Mike Paton)先生讲的那个奇怪的马尔伯勒山(Marlborough Hill)的故事.
那是在11月28号,那天派顿先生八岁的儿子小波(Bob),正在家中宽大的后花园里玩耍的时候,遇见了一个留着长长白胡子的老头.老头告诉小波他是在花园的地底下修地铁的,可小波不信.后来小波告诉我,他知道地铁是从马尔伯勒山下过的,而那个老头说前些天那里出了场事故,然后他就离去了.
起初派顿夫妇也不相信小波的话.派顿太太告诉我小波跟其他同龄的孩子一样,经常编些鬼啊怪啊的故事,不过派顿先生却来了兴致,决定去图书馆查个究竟.
他查出地铁公司1881年在马尔伯勒山西部的地下施工的时候,遇到了一条地下暗河,结果事故中有10名工人死亡.于是地铁公司改变了路线,在马尔伯勒山的正下方建成了今天的地铁线.开始我也不相信派顿先生所说的,于是我就决定亲自去查明真相.
市警察局的布莱特(Bright)检察员告诉我,在冬天当地是经常能看到流浪汉出没的,但自去年8月份以来还没有一个符合我报告的(白胡子老头)情况.
伦敦市交通署的乔瑟夫.格瑞分斯(Joseph Griffiths)先生帮我查了那场地铁事故的档案:在1881年11月27日,那场事故显然是发生在马尔伯勒山脉和伍兹多克(Woodstock)大街的交汇处,而派顿家就在这条大街的角落处!
这个诡异故事的最初讲述者(即小波)并没有被这些发现所影响,“我跟妈妈说过它是真的”,小波昨天还跟我这么说.而我离开他家的时候,他还在花园里开心的玩着玩具车呢!
PS.开头有几个词明显拼错了.
