Greedy Gus was a lazy pirate who always wanted to be rich. He was greedy for money, and he was also greedy about food. He didn't like working hard, so he stole treasure from other people. Greedy Gus sailed on his old ship, the Seven Seas. His bad pirates helped him to steal treasure from other ships as they sailed across the sea. They stole gold, silver, money and jewels.

贪婪的格斯是一个懒惰的海盗，他总是想发财。 他贪财，也贪吃。 他不喜欢努力工作，所以他偷别人的财宝。 贪婪的格斯开着他的老船，七大洋号。 他的坏海盗帮助他从其他船只上偷财宝，当他们航行在海上。 他们偷了金、银、钱和珠宝。

Every time the pirates stole some more treasure, they took it to an island called Secret Island. They hid sacks full of gold and money inside a dark cave in the middle of the island. After a long time, the cave at Secret Island was full of shining jewels and bright treasure. "Aha!" said Greedy Gus, "We're rich, but we're hungry. Let's go back to the ship for a feast."

每当海盗们偷了更多的宝藏，他们就把它带到一个叫做秘密岛的岛上。 他们把装满金子和钱的麻袋藏在岛中央一个黑暗的洞穴里。 过了很长一段时间，秘密岛的洞穴里装满了闪闪发光的珠宝和明亮的宝藏。 “啊哈!”贪婪的格斯说，“我们很有钱，但我们很饿。 让我们回到船上吃一顿大餐吧。”

When the pirates got back to their ship, they always had a noisy party. There was loud music and plenty of food. They sang pirate songs and danced until late at night. The next morning they sailed far away to find more treasure to steal.

当海盗们回到他们的船上时，他们总是举行一个喧闹的聚会。 有嘈杂的音乐和充足的食物。 他们唱着海盗的歌，跳舞直到深夜。 第二天早上，他们远航去寻找更多的宝藏。

The animals that lived on Secret Island didn't like the bad pirates because they were so greedy. The monkeys thought of an idea to teach the pirates a lesson. All the animals went to an important meeting, where they made a clever plan. The next time Greedy Gus and his nasty pirates sailed to Secret Island, the animals were ready.

住在秘密岛上的动物不喜欢这些坏海盗，因为他们太贪婪了。 猴子们想出了一个给海盗们一个教训的主意。 所有的动物都参加了一个重要的会议，在那里他们制定了一个聪明的计划。 下次贪婪的格斯和他的可恶的海盗们航行到秘密岛时，动物们已经准备好了。

The pirates used a long rope to tie their ship to a tree stump. The animals watched them carrying heavy sacks of stolen treasure to the dark cave. "I'm very hungry," said Greedy Gus. "After we have counted all our money, we'll go back to the ship for a delicious feast."

海盗们用一根长绳把他们的船绑在一个树桩上。 动物们看着他们把装着偷来的财宝的沉重袋子搬到黑暗的山洞里。 “我很饿，”贪婪的格斯说。 “等我们数完所有的钱，我们就回到船上吃一顿丰盛的大餐。”
