By John Ryan 翻譯：岳子豪

上一期講到，海盜船長帕格沃什 Captain Pugwash醒來后以為島上只有自己一人。但真的就只有他一個(gè)人嗎？如果不是，還會有誰？

From close by, on the other side of the rock in fact, he heard a1)snore…then a loud SNORT.And he knew that snort all too well. He looked round, and yes…there to his2)horrorsat his enemy, pirate Jake! Then Pugwash got another surprise…Jake was smiling!

At first Jake seemed friendly. He told Pugwash how he too had been3)sweptaway by the storm and cast up on the island.

And very soon the two pirates were talking just like old friends.

Pugwash even shared his last bit of chocolate with his old enemy.

At least he pretended it was his last piece of chocolate, and Jake pretended that he believed him!

Then, far away they saw a ship.Both pirates were very excited. “With the two of us it’ll be easy to4)attracttheir attention! Take your jacket off!”

Jake stood on the rock and Pugwash climbed on to his shoulders and waved his coat5)wildly.

And the ship seemed to be getting closer…and closer…and closer,althoughin the early morning light it was dif ficult to be very sure.

Captain Pugwash was beginning to feel rather6)dizzyso finally both pirates stood hand in hand on their little island and shoutedfor all they were worth.

Soon the ship was so close that Jake was very happy and shouted, “It’s my ship and my7)shipmatescome to save me!”

“And me too?” asked Pugwash8)nervously.

“Save you?” said Jake, “It’s me that’s for saving and you that’s for9)marooningon this island, aharrh!”

By this time Jake’s pirates hadarrivedin their long-boat. And a

moment later Jake

was being helped10)aboard.

“B-b-but you can’t leave me here!” cried Pugwash.

But Jake was gone.

“Come back! Come BACK!”shouted Captain Pugwash. But Jake and his shipmates only laughed at him. And very soon the Captain couldn’t even hear that.(to be continued…)

★for all one is worth拼命，努力

中考考點(diǎn):

1.although是個(gè)連詞，意為“雖然；即使；縱然”，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，相當(dāng)于though,兩者大多數(shù)情況下可以通用。although引導(dǎo)的從句，既可位于主句之前，也可位于主句之后，若置于主句之前，多用逗號與主句隔開。

Although/Though they are very poor, they have enough to eat. 他們雖然很窮，但食物還是夠吃的。

注意：在一個(gè)句子里，用了although或though，就不能再用but，但可用yet；用了but，也不能再用although或though。

Although (Though) it was very cold, (yet) he went out without an overcoat.=It was very cold, but he went out without an overcoat. 盡管很冷，但他沒有穿大衣就出去了。

2.arrive為不及物動詞，若其后接賓語，需與at或in連用，其中“到達(dá)較大的地方”用arrive in，“到達(dá)較小的場所或地方”則用arrive at；其后接地點(diǎn)副詞here、there和home時(shí)，則不需要用介詞。

The plane will arrive at the airport soon. 飛機(jī)馬上要到機(jī)場了。

When did you arrive in Beijing? 你什么時(shí)候到達(dá)北京？

They arrived at the railway station too late. 他們到達(dá)火車站太晚了。

They’re arriving here tomorrow. 他們將于明天到達(dá)這兒。

參考譯文

就離自己不遠(yuǎn)的地方，石頭的另一邊，他聽到了打鼾聲——響亮的呼嚕聲。他太熟悉這個(gè)呼嚕聲了。果然，他環(huán)顧四周看到了他的敵人——海盜杰克。更出乎帕格沃什意料的是，杰克在對他笑。

剛見面杰克看上去很友善，他告訴帕格沃什他是怎樣被風(fēng)暴席卷而來沖刷到這個(gè)島上的。沒多久兩個(gè)海盜就像老朋友一樣聊天了。帕格沃什甚至把自己最后一塊巧克力與這個(gè)宿敵分享。至少帕格沃什假裝這是自己最后一塊巧克力了，杰克也假裝相信他。

沒過多久，他們看到遠(yuǎn)方有一艘船，兩個(gè)海盜都很興奮。“咱們合作會很容易吸引到船上人的注意，把你外套脫掉給我。”

隨后杰克站到礁石上，帕格沃什爬到他肩膀上面用力揮舞著外套。

盡管在清晨的微光中他們很難確定，但是船只看上去離他們越來越近。由于身體晃動，帕格沃什船長開始有點(diǎn)頭暈，所以兩個(gè)海盜站在小島上用盡全身力氣大聲呼喊。

沒過多久那艘船離得很近了，杰克認(rèn)出了船只高興地喊道：“這是我的船，我的船員們來救我了?！?/p>

“能不能順便救我上船？”帕格沃什緊張地問道。

“救你？”杰克說：“只有我才值得被救，你也就是被放逐在這個(gè)島的命?！?/p>

就在這會兒，杰克的船員們已經(jīng)乘長艇到達(dá)了，過了一會已經(jīng)把杰克接上了船。

“你不能留我一個(gè)人在這里！”帕格沃什大喊道。

但是杰克已經(jīng)坐船走遠(yuǎn)了。

“回來！回來！”帕格沃什船長不停地喊道。但是得到的回應(yīng)只有杰克和他的船員們的嘲笑聲。又過了沒多久甚至連嘲笑聲都聽不到了。（待續(xù)）
