Examples of how to talk about fear in English
用英语谈论恐惧举例

One of the best horror films I have seen is "The Blair Witch Project". It tells the story of a terrifying ordeal in the woods of northern USA. Some of the scenes in the film sent shivers down my spine, especially the one when the students run out of the tent in the middle of the night. When they go back, one of the guy's rucksack has been emptied. When that same guy goes missing the next day, itgives you goosebumps.
我看过的最棒的恐怖电影之一是“女巫布莱尔”。它讲述的是美国北部森林里的一种可怕折磨的故事。电影里的一些场景吓得我发抖，尤其是学生们半夜跑出帐篷的场景。当他们返回时，一个男孩的背包空了。这个男孩第二天消失后，你会怕得起鸡皮疙瘩。

There are some fabulous sound effects, especially the ones of the wind blowing and howling. When you hear the crying voices at the end of the film, it will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
电影里有一些绝妙的声效，尤其是风吹咆哮的声效。当你在电影结尾听到哭声时，会感到毛骨悚然。

Perhaps the scariest part of the film is at the end, when you see one of the surviving students literally shake with fear in the corner of the basement. It certainly frightened the life out of the girlwhen she saw him, and I jumped out of my skin at the end when the camera stopped filming. The film scared the hell out of me for weeks afterwards, and I'm ashamed to say that I wouldn't go into an empty room in the house unless there was someone there with me.
也许电影最吓人的部分是结尾，当你看到其中一名存活下来的学生在地下室吓得发抖的时候。女孩看到他时真的是被吓得魂都掉了，最后电影结束时吓得我心惊肉跳。随后几周里这部电影都把我吓得半死，我都不好意思说不敢一个人去空房间。
