On a rainy, miserable day, the funeral procession was climbing the steep hill to the cemetery, when suddenly the rear doors of the hearse broke open and the coffin slid out. 一个阴雨、悲惨的日子，有列送葬队伍正沿着陡峭的山路向墓地前进，这时突然间灵车的后门破开，棺材滑出车外。

To the horror of the mourners, the casket hurtled down the hill, scattering motorists and pedestrians. 令哀悼者大感惊恐的是，棺材滑下山坡，冲散了汽车和行人。

At tremendous speed it leaped onto the sidewalk and barreled into a drugstore. It crashed into the counter and the lid flew open. 接着它以高速冲上人行道并滚进一家药房，最后棺材撞到了柜台里面，盖子则崩开了。

"For Heaven's sake," said the corpse to the astonished pharmacist, "give me something to stop this coffin. " “看在老天的份上，”棺木中的尸体向惊魂未定的药剂师说道:“给我一点东西把棺材停止下来。”
