The real pirate. Pirate stories are fun to read. Many pirate stories we read are about lost treasure. Most of those stories aren't about real pirates.

真正的海盗 海盗故事读起来趣味十足 我们读过的很多海盗故事都和失落的宝藏有关 这些故事大多讲的都不是真实存在的海盗

Blackbeard was a real pirate. He lived over 300 years ago. At that time, ships from many countries sailed all over the world.

黑胡子是真实存在的海盗 他生活在三百多年前 那时候，来自许多国家的船只航行在世界各地的海域上

Blackbeard got a job on a ship. He liked his job, but he knew that he might have to fight off pirates.

黑胡子在一艘船上找了份工作 他很喜欢这份工作，但也知道自己可能得击退来犯的海盗

Pirates would rob ships and share the treasure. Blackbeard decided it was better to be a pirate.

海盗会抢劫船只，再平分抢来的财宝 黑胡子觉得当海盗更好，便决定也做海盗

Everyone was afraid of pirates. Blackbeard was a very big man. He had a thick black beard. People were afraid of him. People gave up when they saw him.

所有人都很害怕海盗 黑胡子长得人高马大 留着浓密的黑胡子 大家都很怕他 人们一看到他就会直接投降
