中文&翻译｜【短篇】我担心我妹妹迷上了巫术
削其骨为笛(一位普通的都市丽人)
I'm worried my sister is getting into witchcraft

我和妹妹的性格简直是南辕北辙。老实说，我一直怀疑我们是不是亲姐妹，因为我俩真的完全不一样。
我成绩十分优异，她却经常逃课。
我是拉拉队长，而她玩起了哥特。
我的老天奶啊。
她裤子上挂着恶心的链子，脸上涂着难看的漆黑口红，真不敢相信爸妈允许她穿成这样去教堂！我去教堂都穿着我最漂亮的裙子！而她看起来就像要去参加活结乐队的演唱会！
当我开始和橄榄球队的四分卫托马斯约会时，她说我是什么来着，哦对，她说我很“俗套”。简直疯了，俗套的人明明是她，典型的青春期的叛逆小孩。托马斯也来我们的教堂。我们平时的课余活动也很类似。我和托马斯约会再正常不过了。
她只是嫉妒托马斯。
毕业舞会快到了，她一定很生气，因为托马斯和我会是舞会国王和王后的不二人选。当然没人邀请她了，她每天看起来就像要参加葬礼一样！
她大概就是那时候开始学巫术的。这是她最新一次博取别人关注的尝试。
我还记得她强迫我进她房间。她有一个通灵板，作为基督徒，我不想玩这种东西，但是她让我把手放在她的手上。她问：“有人在吗？” 然后她的手移动到了“有”。
她假装一脸震惊地看着我。我不得不离开房间，以免我们真的和恶魔之类的东西扯上关系。
从那以后，她开始阅读大量的神秘学书籍。制作各种奇怪的小饰品，并把它们放在房子各处。她到底想干什么？这是什么奇怪的魔法？
我本可以原谅这一切。我本可以为她祈祷。
但后来我发现她在厨房里。她点了很多蜡烛，桌上散落着许多水晶和粉笔画。最令人震惊的是，我的父母也和她在一起！他们手牵着手，听着我妹妹轻声说着一些恶魔的低语。
我再也没法袖手旁观了。
“你在干什么？你让爸爸妈妈也和你一起玩巫术？你不知道你可能会把真正的恶魔召唤出来吗？你还是去教堂吧！”
蜡烛一闪一闪的。
“贝卡，” 我妹妹说，“你在这儿吗？”
“你在开什么玩笑？我就在这儿。”
他们都一脸震惊。
“贝卡，” 我妹妹说，“我们需要你和我们展示一下你在哪里。”
托马斯第一次吻我时我们所在的那个湖泊的生动画面在我脑海中飞过。
“你们在对我施咒吗？停下！我不喜欢这样！”
“听着，你最后告诉我的是托马斯让你怀孕了。你说你要去告诉他，但你再也没回来。警察说你离家出走了！你和他是在哪儿见面的？”
“你撒谎！你只是为了引人注意！” 我拿起一根蜡烛扔向妹妹，但我的手却穿过了蜡烛。

My sister and I have always been diametric opposites. Honestly, I’ve had my doubts about us being related. How could we be?
I was a straight A student, she was constantly skipping class.
When I became the head cheerleader, she entered her goth phase.
Lord.
Those atrocious chains dangling from her pants. The jet black lipstick was horrendous. I can’t believe mom and dad let her wear those outfits to church! I was in my best dress! She looked like she was going to a Slipknot concert!
When I started dating Thomas, the quarterback of the football team, she called me a, “cliche.” Isn’t that crazy? If anyone’s cliche it’s her! The rebellious child! Thomas went to our church. We both were in similar activities. If anything it’s completely normal to date someone like that!
She was just jealous of Thomas.
Prom was coming up. Which must have been aggravating her. Thomas and I were a shoe-in for prom king and queen. And of course nobody asked her! She looked like a funeral!
That’s around when she started the witchcraft business. Her latest attempt to get attention.
I remember her forcing me to come into her room. She had a Ouija board. As a christian, I didn’t want to participate. She made me put my hands on hers. She asked, “Is anyone there?" And her hands moved to, ‘yes.’
She pretended to look so shocked when it happened. I had to leave the room before we consorted with a demon or the likes.
After that, she started reading lots of occult books. Making all manner of strange trinkets and leaving them around the house. What was she trying to accomplish? What strange magic?
I could have forgiven all that. I could have just prayed for her.
But then I found her in the kitchen. She had lit a bunch of candles. There were crystals and chalk drawings on the table. Most shocking, both my parents were with her! They were all holding hands as my sister whispered some sinister words.
I couldn’t stand idle anymore.
“What are you doing? You’ve got mom and dad involved in witchcraft? Don’t you know you could summon actual demons? You need to go to church!”
The candles flickered.
“Becca,” my sister said, “Are you there?”
“Is this a joke? I’m right here.”
They all looked shocked.
“Becca,” my sister said, “We need you to picture where you are.”
Vivid visions of the lake where Thomas first kissed me flew through my head.
“Are you casting a spell on me? Stop it! I don’t like this!”
“Listen! The last thing you told me was that Thomas got you pregnant. You said you were going to tell him, and you never came back. The police say you ran away! Where did you meet him?”
“You’re lying for attention!” I go to pick up a candle and throw it at my sister, but my hand goes right through it.
