UUnit 2 One-eye Pirate
第2單元 獨眼海盜
A seaman meets a pirate in a bar. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg leg, a hook, and an eye patch.
有名水手在酒吧里遇見一名海盜，水手注意到海盜裝了假肢、手上有鐵鉤，還戴了個眼罩。
The seaman asks, “So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?”
水手問道：“你的腿怎么了，怎么會裝著假肢？”
The private replies,“We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks.
海盜回答：“我們在海上碰到暴風雨，結果我不慎落水，掉到一群鯊魚中間；
Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off.”
正當船員救我上去時，我的腿就被鯊魚咬掉了。
“Wow!” remarked the seaman. “What about your hook?”
“哇！”水手說：“那你的手怎么會裝了鐵鉤？”
“Well,” replied the pirate. “We were searching for a treasure in a remote swamp.
“這個嘛，”海盜回答：“我們到一塊偏僻沼澤地尋寶，
I got mixed up with an alligator and it bit my hand off.
手是和一只鱷魚打架時被咬掉的。”
“Amazing!” remarked the seaman. “How did you get the eye patch? ”
“太厲害了！”水手說：“那你的眼罩又是怎么回事？”
“A seagull droppings fell into my eye”, replied the pirate.
“海鷗的糞掉到我的眼睛里。”海盜回答。
“You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?” the sailor asked.
“被海鷗的糞弄到眼睛就瞎了？”水手問道。
“Well,” remarked the pirate, “it was my first day with my hook.”
“不是啦，”海盜回答：“因為那一天我的手剛裝上鐵鉤.”
