嗜酒的鬼魂

A public house which was recently['ri:səntli] bought[bɔ:t] by Mr Ian Thompson is up for sale[seil]. 依恩·汤普森先生最近才买的一个小酒店现在又要卖出去.

Mr Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted['hɔ:ntid].汤普森先生之所以想卖它,是因为那里常闹鬼.

He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange[streindʒ] noise[nɔiz] coming from the bar. 他告诉我有天夜里他怎么也睡不着,因为他听到酒吧里传来一阵奇怪的响声.
The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked[blɔkt] by chairs and the furniture['fə:nitʃə] had been moved. 第2天早上,他发现酒吧间的门被椅子堵上了,家具也被挪动过.
Though[ðəu; ðə] Mr Thompson had turn[tə:n]ed the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. 虽然汤普森临睡觉时把灯关了,但早晨灯却都亮着.

He also said that he had found five empty['empti] whisky bottle['bɔtl]s which the ghost must have drunk the night before. 他还说他发现了5 只空的威士忌酒瓶子,这肯定是鬼魂昨天晚上喝的.

When I suggested[sə'dʒɛstid] that some villager['vilidʒə]s must have come in for a free drink, Mr Thompson shook[ʃuk] his head. 当我暗示说一定是村里有些人来喝不花钱的酒时,汤普森先生摇了摇头.

The villagers have told him that they will not accept[ək'sept] the pub[pʌb] even if he gives it away.村里的人已经告诉他,即使他把小酒店白送人,他们也不要.
