书籍简介

《螺丝在拧紧》这篇小说讲述了一个年轻纯朴的姑娘应聘到一个大户人家担任家庭教师。开始时，一切都令她满意。她的学生——两个小姐弟天真烂漫，活泼可爱；乡下环境优美，空气清新。后来这种平静的生活突然被打破了，这种变化犹如一头猛兽一跃而起。不久之后就发生了一系列难解的事情：古堡寂静的走廊里传来神秘的脚步声；暮色中的塔楼顶上突然出现一个陌生男子；午夜时烛光摇曳，窗外鬼影幢幢；两个学生的行为变得越来越怪异，犹如幽灵附体。悬疑和紧张步步堆迭，如同螺丝拧得越来越紧。几周之后，在一个孤寂的傍晚，家庭女教师的幻象中出现了一个披肩长发的男人，头发酒红色，风度翩翩。格罗斯太太猜测女家教看到的鬼魂正是主人的前贴身男仆——彼德·昆特。他生前放荡不羁，形象极其丑陋，后来他的罪恶终于到了尽头，晚上喝醉酒从结冰的山坡上摔了下去，受了致命伤。紧接着，女教师的幻觉中又出现了一个身穿黑色丧服，神态沮丧，面色苍白的女鬼魂，格罗斯太太推断女鬼就是之前那位专门做家教的年轻女士——杰赛尔小姐。前女家庭教师深受彼德·昆特的引诱，与他坠入爱河，后在离开庄园之后不久就去世了。家庭女教师觉得彼德·昆特和杰赛尔两个鬼魂出现在庄园的目的是侵蚀迈尔斯与弗洛拉的纯真心灵，占有他们的灵魂。所以女家教奋力与两个鬼魂做斗争，然而一次都没有成功。故事结尾，两个小姐弟一个发了疯，一个死在了女家教的怀中。

A young woman accepts her first job as a governess and goes to Bly, a large country house in England. There she teaches a young brother and sister. But the governess soon starts to see ghosts and tries to protect the children from them.
