《海盗代课老师》。作者：托林·安德森。绘者：“可怕的”英格瓦德。 核心问题：杰克从粉笔胡海盗身上学到了什么道理？

It was 8 .05 and their teacher still wasn't there. That meant a substitute was on the way.

八点零五分了，他们的老师还没有来。 这说明马上要来一位代课老师了。

The door burst open, and there stood a pirate. His peg leg thumped on the floor as he walked to the board.

门猛地被推开，门口站着一个海盗。 他走向黑板的时候，木腿在地板上咚咚作响。

Me name is Pirate Chalkbeard, he said. He pulled back his sleeve. In place of his hand was a long piece of chalk. The students gasped. Everyone stared, except Jack. He sat in the back, drawing in his notebook.

“我叫粉笔胡海盗。”他说。 他撸起了袖子。 他的手的位置长着一根长长的粉笔。 学生们都倒吸了一口凉气。 所有人都盯着他看，只有杰克例外。 他坐在后排，正在自己的笔记本上画画。

Pirate Chalkbeard taught them many things, and he taught them fast. He held up a giant map and pointed out the oceans. He taught the students to yell, Ahoy! and Scurvy Dog.

粉笔胡海盗教了他们好多东西，而且教得特别快。 他举着一张超大的地图，给大家指认各个大洋。 他还教学生们喊“嘿呀！”和“坏家伙！”

At last, pirate Chalkbeard thumped to the back of the room. He looked at Jack and at Jack's notebook. May I? he asked.

终于，粉笔胡海盗咚咚地走到了教室后排。 他看了看杰克，又看了看杰克的笔记本。 “我能看看吗？”他问道。
