如果你已經看過最佳恐怖電影榜單上的不少電影，今年萬聖節是時候有針對性地刷電影了。今年膽子大的人可以接受USDish網站的挑戰，在10月31日前看完13部史蒂芬·金經典小說改編成的電影，完成挑戰的勇敢觀影者將有幸獲得1300美元（約合人民幣9217元）的嘉獎。
If you've already blown through lists of the best horror movies ever made, it's time to get more specific with your Halloween binge-watching. This year, USDish is challenging one brave soul to watch 13 movies based on classic Stephen King works by October 31—and the lucky viewer will receive $1300 for their fortitude.
fortitude['fɔːtɪtjuːd]: n. 剛毅；不屈不撓；勇氣
史蒂芬·金的小說和中短篇故事已經被改編成了43部電影，包括2019年上映的《小丑回魂2》和《睡夢醫生》。USDish網站已經將範圍縮小到史蒂芬·金最著名的13部電影，包括《玉米田的小孩》（1984年）、《魔女嘉莉》（2013年翻拍版或1976年原版）、《危情十日》（1990年）和《寵物墳場》（2019年翻拍版或1989年原版）。
Forty-three films have been adapted from Stephen King's novels, novellas, and short stories, including IT Chapter Two and Doctor Sleep in 2019. USDish.com has narrowed its viewing list down to King's most famous films like Children of the Corn (1984), Carrie (the 2013 remake or the 1976 original), Misery (1990), and Pet Sematary (the 2019 remake or the 1989 original).
被選中參加挑戰的人將收到一套「生存裝備」，有毯子、手電筒、糖果、爆米花和史蒂芬·金潮包。USDish網站還會給他們發一個能夠檢測脈搏的Fitbit手環，讓他們在看恐怖電影的時候佩戴。所有13部電影都可以在Dish網站上觀看，如果觀影者還想擴大自己的電影馬拉松範圍，他們可以用贈送的禮品卡在影院看《小丑回魂2》或《睡夢醫生》。
The candidate chosen for the challenge will receive a survival kit complete with a blanket, flashlight, candy, popcorn, and Stephen King swag. USDish will also send them a Fitbit they can use to track their pulse while watching some of the most heart-pounding scenes in cinema. All 13 movies are available to watch on Dish, and if the viewer wants to extend their movie marathon, they can use a complimentary gift card to see IT Chapter 2 or Doctor Sleep in theaters.

在打卡完列表上的所有電影後，贏家將能獲得1300美元的現金獎勵。他們可以用這筆錢去看挑戰範圍之外的史蒂芬·金的所有電影，也可以來一場放鬆身心的旅遊。
After making it through the list and logging their experience, the winner will receive a $1300 cash prize. They can use that money to buy all the Stephen King movies that weren't included in the challenge—or maybe take a relaxing trip to some place.
有意申請這個「理想（噩夢）體驗」的人可以在USDish網站上的表格填寫個人信息、觀影習慣，並寫一篇短文解釋你獲得這份工作的理由。你還可以上傳一個視頻，給自己拉分。
To apply for the dream (or nightmare) gig, fill out the form on the USDish.com website with your personal information, viewing habits, and a short essay explaining why you should get the job. There's also an option to upload a video pitching yourself as the perfect victim.
話說回來，無論你能否得到獎金，你都可以自己把史蒂芬·金的電影刷個夠。
Whether or not you get paid to do it, you can organize a Stephen King binge-watching session of your own.
