A thirsty ghost

嗜酒的鬼魂

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

伊恩·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.

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 noise 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 by chairs and the furniture had been moved.

第二天早上,他发现酒吧间的门被椅子堵上了,家具也被挪动过。

Though Mr. Thompson had turned 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。
