THE MYSTERY OF THE PIRATE GHOST

The mystery of the pirate ghost.

海盗幽灵的秘密

One morning in Bugle Bay, Otto and his ankle tooth were cleaning their attic. What's in that old trunk? Otto asked. Things I brought back from my travel at sea many years ago. Ankle tooth said.

号角湾的一个清晨，奥托和安克大叔正在打扫阁楼。 那只旧行李箱里装着什么呀？ 奥托问道。 都是我好多年前出海旅行带回来的东西。 安克大叔回答道。

Ankle Tooth opened the trunk. He took out a shiny silver trumpet. I found this on Falkhorn Island. What an adventure that was, he said. I wish I could have adventures, Otto added. Nothing ever happened around here. Ankle Tooth gave Otto the trumpet. It's yours if you want it, he said. Gee, thanks, said Otto. Otto blew on the trumpet. Nothing happened. He took a big breath and blew again. This time, the trumpet made a little whee sound. Keep driving, Ankle Tooth said, and you will get it right.

安克大叔打开行李箱，掏出一支锃亮的银喇叭。 我是在福克霍恩岛上找到它的。 那次探险可太有意思啦，他说。我也好想去探险呀，奥托接话道。 这附近从来都没什么新鲜事发生。 安克大叔把喇叭递给奥托。你想要的话它就是你的啦，他说。 哇，太谢谢您啦，奥托说。奥托对着喇叭吹了吹，什么动静也没有。 他深吸一口气又吹了一次，这次喇叭发出了细细的呼呼声。 继续吹呀，安克大叔说，你肯定能吹响的。

Otto ran outside with his tramp bag. Ankle Tooth's sister, Auntie Hic, was hurrying down the path. She did not see Otto. Fee! When the tramp had, Auntie Hic screamed. Ankle Tooth came running. I'm sorry, Auntie Hic, said Otto. I was just playing. Playing? My foot! Said Auntie Hic. I thought you were the ghost. What ghost? Tried Otto.

奥托背着他的探险包跑了出去。 安克大叔的妹妹希克阿姨正沿着小路急匆匆地走过来。 她没看见奥托。 嘀！ 喇叭声一响，希克阿姨吓得尖叫起来。 安克大叔连忙跑了过来。 对不起，希克阿姨，奥托说。 我刚才只是在玩儿。 玩儿？ 瞎说！ 希克阿姨说。 我还以为你是那个幽灵呢。 什么幽灵？ 奥托问道。

The ghost in my shop. She said, this morning I heard noises inside my shop. I opened the door and saw a ghost. It started me with big red eyes. I ran here as fast as I could. Don't be a fool. Uncle Tooth said, there are no such thing as ghosts. Auntie Higt stamped her foot. I said there are because I've seen them. Auto -dram up and down. Let's go find a ghost, he said. This might be the start of an adventure.

就是我店里的那个幽灵呀。 她说，今天早上我听到我店里有动静。 我推开门就看到了一个幽灵。 它瞪着一双通红的大眼睛，吓了我一大跳。 我就拼尽全力跑到这儿来了。 别傻啦。 安克大叔说，这世界上根本没有幽灵这种东西。 希克阿姨气得直跺脚。 我说有就是有，我亲眼看见的。 奥托兴奋得蹦来蹦去。 我们去找那个幽灵吧，他说。 这说不定就是一场探险的开端呢。

The three of them hurried up the path towards Andy Hay's shop. The path kept him put decked, houseboat. The captain was on the deck. He was picking up wet land rays. Of all the rotten things, he muttered.

三个人沿着小路匆匆往安迪·海的小店走去。 小路经过一艘停靠在岸边的船屋。 船长正站在甲板上。 他正在捡湿乎乎的海鳐鱼。 真是倒霉透顶了，他嘟囔着。
