# Lesson 47 A thirsty ghost 嗜酒的鬼魂

## 一、课文原文

A public house which was recently bought by Mr. Ian Thompson is up for sale. Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, Mr. Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.

## 五、课文翻译

伊恩·汤普森先生最近才买的一个小酒店现在又要卖出去。汤普森先生之所以想卖它，是因为那里常闹鬼。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。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。虽然汤普森临睡觉时把灯关了，但早晨灯却都亮着。他还说他发现了5只空的威士忌酒瓶子，这肯定是鬼魂昨天晚上喝的。当我暗示说一定是村里有些人来喝不花钱的酒时，汤普森先生摇了摇头。村里的人已经告诉他，即使他把小酒店白送人，他们也不要。

## 六、语言点精讲

### 1. "嗜酒的鬼魂"的幽默

标题 "A thirsty ghost" 给了鬼魂一个"嗜酒"的形象——不是可怕的鬼，而是一个爱喝酒的鬼。这降低了恐怖感，增加了趣味性。

### 2. 鬼还是人？

课文暗示两种可能：
- 真的有鬼（Thompson 的解释）
- 村民偷偷进来喝酒（"我"的暗示）

但 Thompson 摇头否认——他坚持认为是鬼。真相可能介于两者之间。

### 3. 英国的"鬼屋"文化

英国有丰富的鬼故事传统，很多老建筑据说都"闹鬼"。这种文化传统在课文中得到了体现——人们宁可不要白送的酒店，也不愿住"鬼屋"。

### 2. 词汇练习
