第 47 课 · 嗜酒的鬼魂 Lesson 47 · A thirsty ghost

一家最近由伊恩·汤普森先生购入的酒馆正在挂牌出售。

A public house which was recently bought by Mr. Ian Thompson is up for sale.

汤普森先生打算把它卖掉,因为那里闹鬼。

Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted.

他告诉我,有一天夜里他无法入睡,因为他听到了一个从酒吧区传来的奇怪声音。

He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar.

第二天早上,他发现门被椅子顶住了,家具也被移动过。

The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved.

尽管 Thompson 先生上床睡觉之前已经把灯关掉了,但早上灯却亮着。

Though Mr. Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning.

他还说,他发现了五个空威士忌酒瓶,那幽灵前一晚上一定把它们喝光了。

He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before.

当我提出也许有些村民趁机溜进来白喝了酒时,Thompson 先生摇了摇头。

When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, Mr. Thompson shook his head.

村民们已经告诉他,即使他免费相送,他们也不会接受这家酒馆。

The villagers have told him that they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.
