Thread: Boogeyman

Hello, friends!

I read Stephen King's story and have some questions about it.

Shirl would wake up and cry every night and Rita would pick her up and sniffle.

The kid was dead... Just as white as flour except for where the blood had... had sunk.

What does the words "sniffle" and "sunk" mean here?

sunk is past for sink. На onelook.com пишут что
verb: fall or drop to a lower place or level
или appear to move downward
в лингве кстати ничего похожего не нашел.


sniffle - вот тут http://www.lib.ru/KING/buka.txt пишуть что -
А тут еще Шерли по ночам орет и Рита
ее без конца укачивает.

А первое они вообще не перевели. И насчет второго у меня есть сомнения. Потому как в словаре ероме насморка и хлюпать носом ничего нет.

I don't like a boogeyman.... He's been trying to get into my house for a long time
