《代课海盗》，托林·安德森 著 "可怕者"英格瓦德 绘 思考问题 杰克从粉笔胡海盗那儿学到了什么道理？

Everyone was out of their desks and playing except for Jack, who sat in the back of the room alone. It was 8 .05, and Mrs. Martinez still wasn't there, which could only mean one thing, a substitute teacher. The door burst open and there stood a pirate.

除了杰克独自坐在教室后排，其他人都离开座位玩闹起来 现在已经8点05了，马丁内斯老师还没来，这只意味着一件事——今天是代课老师 门"砰"地被撞开，门口站着一个海盗

Ahoy, mateys, he said. When I call ye name, say, aye, aye. Rachel Anders, the pirate called. Aye, aye, Rachel said. Juan Aguilar, the pirate called. Aye, aye, Juan said. Jack Bournwall, the pirate called. Here Jack whispered. Ye be needin' to say, aye, aye, the pirate said. Jack sank down in his seat.

"嘿，伙计们！"他说 "我喊到谁的名字，就答‘有，我在’！" 海盗喊道："瑞秋·安德斯" 瑞秋说："有，我在！" 海盗喊道："胡安·阿吉拉尔" 胡安说："有，我在！" 海盗喊道："杰克·伯恩沃尔" 杰克小声说："到" 海盗说："你得说‘有，我在’" 杰克往座位里缩了缩

He's shy, Wan said. He doesn't talk much. Shiver me timbers, the pirate said. No one's shy on talk like a pirate day. His pegged leg thumped on the floor as he walked to the board. Me name is Pirate Chalkbeard. He pulled back his sleeve, revealing a piece of chalk in place of a hand. The students gasped. Pirate Chalkbeard wrote his name on the board.

"他很害羞，"万说 "他不怎么说话" 海盗说："我的天呐" "海盗日没人会害羞不敢说话的" 他迈着义肢咚咚走到黑板前 "我叫粉笔胡海盗" 他挽起袖子，露出手上原来是一截粉笔 学生们都倒吸一口气 粉笔胡海盗把自己的名字写在了黑板上

I've traveled the seven school districts, teaching all sorts of landlubbers," he said. What does landlubbers mean? Rachel asked. Can't ye speak like a pirate? Pirate Chalkbeard asked. A landlubber is a landlover, someone who lives on land and not the sea. Everyone say landlubbers. Landlubbers, the students repeated. Everyone, that is, except for Jack, who was busy drawing in his notebook. If ye be ready to learn, say, yo -ho -ho! yelled Pirate Chalkbeard. Yo -ho -ho! the students yelled. Jack mumbled, yo -ho -ho! under his breath and kept his head down.

"我走遍七个学区，教过各式各样的菜鸟岸上民，"他说 "岸上民是什么意思呀？" 瑞秋问道 "你们不会说海盗话吗？" 粉笔胡海盗问道 岸上民就是住岸上、不住在海上的人呀 大家一起说‘岸上民’ 学生们跟着重复："岸上民" 所有人都开口了，只有杰克没有，他正忙着在笔记本上画画 粉笔胡海盗大喊："准备好上课的话，跟我喊呦——吼——吼！" "呦——吼——吼！" 学生们大喊道 杰克小声嘟囔着"呦——吼" "——吼！" 头也没抬

Pirate Chalkbeard taught at a furious pace. In science, he taught them how to use a compass to steer a ship. In literature, he read to them from Treasure Island. In P .E., they pretended the jungle gym was a pirate ship. In geography, he unrolled a giant map and pointed out the oceans. Occasionally, he would stop and point at the map. There be pirates, he would yell.

粉笔胡海盗上课节奏快极了 科学课上，他教大家怎么用罗盘给船掌舵 文学课上，他给大家读《金银岛》 体育课上，大家把攀爬架当成海盗船玩游戏 地理课上，他铺开一张大地图，给大家指认各个大洋 时不时，他会停下来指着地图 他总会大喊："这儿有海盗！"
