Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly 词汇提示 1.splash 水花 2.fierce 激烈 原文 Chapter V: The Wrong Chest The Queen Anne sailed for a few more days,but it couldn't find the Bermuda Triangle. The men were getting angry. Captain Scott heard more and more talk about the treasure, so he decided to call the men and speak to them. "I know that a lot of you want to see these islands. I want you to know that you will be handsomely paid for this long voyage. Wait a little longer and you will be rewarded." Blackbeard's ghost was walking behind the men as the captain talked. Smith, the man who stole some of Blackbeard's treasure, was standing in the front where Captain Scott could see him. He still had the jewels in his pocket,and Blackbeard knew this. Because no one could see him, he put his hand in Smith's pocket and threw the jewels on the deck in front of Smith. The others thought Smith dropped something,but when they saw the beautiful diamonds and the gold necklace, they looked at Smith to see what he would say. "Captain, I don't know how they got there. It was him that put them there." He pointed at a man. He was the man who had helped him carry the chest aboard. "You're a liar!" They began to fight, and the other men joined in. Some of them wanted to stop the fight,but others tried to take the jewels from the deck. The captain quickly took the jewels before anyone else could. The men didn't stop fighting with each other until they heard the man in the crow's nest shout 'Ship!' They looked and saw the black flag above the sails of a ship coming towards them, but they didn't know it was Captain Pike. Captain Scott looked through his telescope,then called to the men: "Enemy ship approaching! Open the cannons! Prepare to fight!" The men were running to different parts of the ship when Captain Pike's ship fired a cannon. Aloud 'boom!' was heard, but the cannon ball missed and landed in the water, making a big splash next to the Queen Anne. Another cannon was fired. This one hit one of the Queen Anne's sails. The Queen Anne fired back, and the battle began. It was a fierce battle. The sails on both ships had holes in them and were on fire and there was black smoke in the air. When the ships were close enough, the pirates used ropes to jump onto the Queen Anne. All the men were fighting with swords, so there was no one to watch the treasure. Captain Pike jumped on board the Queen Anne. He went below with two of his men where Blackbeard's treasure was. Captain Scott saw them below and followed with his sword in his hand. Captain Pike turned to fight him. "I know you've got that treasure and I'm not leaving without it." "You will die before you touch apiece of what's behind that door!" Blackbeard was watching all of this. He followed Captain Pike downstairs, and when he had the chance, he hit him over the head with a piece of wood. Captain Pike was surprised. He didn't know what happened. "Quick, open that door. Now!" Pike's men broke the door open and Captain Pike opened both chests. He left the Queen's gold pieces and put his hands on the shining jewels of Blackbeard's treasure. "Look at these beauties! I've never seen such colors. Blue diamonds, pearls, red rubies!" Blackbeard closed the top down on Captain Pike's hands and he screamed in pain. "Good God! Open it! Open it!" His men helped open the chest, but both Pike's hands were badly hurt. "Take that one with us. We'll comeback for the other later." Captain Pike was looking at his injured hands. His men were very surprised at what happened. So, they picked up the wrong chest. It was the chest with the Queen's gold init. Blackbeard was smiling at Captain Pike, knowing that no one would get his gold. He didn't know himself that they were leaving his treasure behind. So, he sat on the chest that the men took back to the pirate ship.

If we have the smallest margin of hope, we can continue to exist. I believe what is sought from politics is to expand that hope even by thesmallest margin. When we think of it, however, it seems politics has cast a shadow over people's hopes. I cannot ask help but ask myself if there has ever been so much urgency embodied in the words "future of hope." However,even knowing the absolute destructive capacity of nuclear weapons, and having experienced its atrocity, mankind still has not been able to walk the road to the destruction of nuclear arms. To the contrary, some countries see the retention of nuclear arms as the symbol of a national power. In the 21st century, are we going to gain richness with science and technology, or will humanity be subjugated to science and technology. We will be faced with the choice of one or the other. I believe the advances of telecommunication technology will present us with similar choices in the future. Fifty years after the war, the Japanese society is caught in a very perplexing stagnation. When I look back on the last 50 years of Japanese history, I am beset by the deepest soul searching and painful frustration, when I find that we Japanese have not been able to overcome our mistakes on our own volition. We still have not been able to reach a reconciliation with many of our Asian friends. Politicians should speak of the future, of ethics, and life. A discussion of hope should be based on fundamental principles. In particular, politicians must speak with children and young people and women ifwe are to retain hope for the future. Politicians must be accountable for their decisions, and they must also question the criteria in which their responsibility would be assessed. That is why our enlightened forebears and predecessors who have translated ideals into reality continue to be respected and be a source of encouragement. Emmanuel Kant wrote, "Truly lasting peace is not an empty ideal, but a challenge given to us." This challenge will be solved gradually and we will eventually reach our goal. We must all share a firm resolve to realize our goals. The critical stimulus for that will be the recognition of human rights and coexistence. However,there are many problems that face us. But when we think of how we can respond to such difficulties and challenges, I question where we can place our starting point. It is at this fundamental question that the future of hope must be questioned. That is the question I entertain for myself and which I believe has to be resolved. 翻译 土井贵子:政治、未来与希望 我们生活的基础是希望。 只要我们还有一线希望，我们就能继续生存下去。 我认为，从政治中寻求的是扩大这种希望，即使是最小的差距。 然而，当我们想到这一点时，似乎政治给人们的希望蒙上了阴影。 我无法请求帮助，只能问自己，在“希望的未来”这几个字中，是否曾有过如此紧迫的含义。 然而，即使知道核武器的绝对破坏力，并且经历了它的暴行，人类仍然没有能够走上毁灭核武器的道路。 相反，一些国家认为保留核武器是国家实力的象征。 在21世纪，我们将凭借科技致富，还是人类将沦为科技的奴隶? 我们将面临二选一的抉择。 我相信，随着电信技术的发展，未来我们也会面临类似的选择。 战后五十年，日本社会陷入了令人费解的停滞状态。 当我回顾过去50年的日本历史时，我被最深的反省和痛苦的挫折感所困扰，当我发现我们日本人并没有能够凭借自己的意志克服我们的错误。 我们仍未能与许多亚洲朋友达成和解。 政治家应该谈论未来、伦理和生命。 关于希望的讨论应该以基本原则为基础。 特别是，如果我们要保持对未来的希望，政治家必须与儿童、青年和妇女对话。 政治家必须对他们的决定负责，他们也必须质疑评估他们责任的标准。 这就是为什么我们把理想变为现实的开明的祖先和前辈们继续受到尊重和鼓舞的原因。 伊曼纽尔·康德写道:“真正持久的和平不是空洞的理想，而是摆在我们面前的挑战。” 这一挑战将逐步解决，我们最终将达到我们的目标。 我们必须以坚定的决心实现我们的目标。 这方面的关键刺激因素将是承认人权和共存。 然而，我们面临着许多问题。 但是，当我们考虑如何应对这些困难和挑战时，我怀疑我们的起点在哪里。 必须对希望的未来提出质疑的正是这个根本问题。 这是我自己思考的问题，我相信这个问题必须得到解决。

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly 词汇提示 1.skull 头骨 2.cheat 欺骗 3.stocks 手足枷 4.First Mate 大副 5.crow's nest 桅杆瞭望塔 6.rectangular 矩形 原文 Chapter IV: Blackbread's True Love The men on Captain Pike's ship were very different from the British sailors of the Queen Anne. They played cards all night, and if they lost, they fought with each other. They were only sailing to the Bermuda Triangle to find Blackbeard's treasure and steal anything else they could. Their ship looked like the Queen Anne, except for the flag flying above the sails. It was black, with a white skull and cross bones on it. This was the mark of the pirates. Some of the men were about to throw a man into the sea for cheating at cards when Captain Pike stopped them. "What's going on here? Are you trying to kill each other before we find the gold?" "This one was trying to cheat us at cards. We can't have that, can we?" "That we can't my friend, but we're waiting for a treasure much bigger than the one you play cards for. Put him in the stocks for a day and let him think about things there." The stocks were two pieces of wood with three round holes in them. The men placed the prisoner's head and hands in the holes. Then,they lowered the top and they locked him inside. He had to stand up the whole time. Captain Pike was standing next to his First Mate, Santiago, at the wheel of the ship. Santiago asked him about the danger of finding Blackbeard's Treasure. "They say no one can take Blackbeard's treasure. Why do you think you can?" "I think that Blackbeard and I are the same kind of pirate. He wanted everything,and he knew how to get it. When I see that treasure, when I put my hands on it,there's nothing that can make me lose it." There was a pirate in a small seat above the sails, looking at the ocean through a telescope. This was called the crow's nest, and he was the first to see Blackbeard's ship sailing ahead of them. He whistled to the men below: "Ship,straight ahead!" Captain Pike put a telescope up to his eye. He saw Blackbeard's empty ship, then yelled to the man who was steering. "Go straight for it! This is what we're looking for!" Captain Pike and some of his men went aboard the empty ship, but they couldn't find any treasure. Santiago thought they made a mistake. "Maybe this isn't Blackbeard's ship. It could be a ship lost at sea." "There's only one way to find out." Captain Pike went below to Blackbeard's cabin and Santiago followed him. It was dark and the captain had to light a candle. He walked with the candle to one of the cabin walls where there was a round, old picture of a woman. She was a beautiful dark woman with large, dark round eyes. Her black hair was tied at the back of her head, and she had a gold necklace with around, green stone around her neck. "Who is it Captain?" "It's a woman who was once the Queen of one of these islands. They say Blackbeard was in love with her. They say she was the reason for his death. He came here to marry her and give her all of the jewels he had. No one ever saw him again, and no one's ever found the treasure. This must be his ship." They went upstairs and Captain Pike told his men to begin taking up the boards on deck to see if the treasure was hidden and where. While the men were doing this, Pike saw a clear rectangular spot left by the chest after Captain Scott took it. The whole deck was grey and dirty except for this one spot where the chest was for so many years. "Stop!"The men stopped searching and looked at Captain Pike. He raised his hand in the air and looked at the clean spot on the deck. "Someone has been here before Us!"

词汇提示 1.sacrifice 牺牲 2.spectator 旁观者 3.accumulate 积累 4.dignity 尊严 5.whirlwind 旋风 原文 George W. Bush: 'Inaugural Address' (3) America,at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected. Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments. And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free. Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom. Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone. I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well. In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times. What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character. Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it. After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?" Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage andits simple dream of dignity. We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service toone another. Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and everylife. This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm. God bless you all, and God bless America. 翻译 乔治·W·布什：“就职演说”（3） 在最好的情况下，美国是一个重视和期望个人责任的地方。 鼓励承担责任不是寻找替罪羊，而是对良知的呼唤。 尽管这需要牺牲，但它带来了更深层次的满足感。 我们发现生活的充实不仅在于选择，而且在于承诺。 我们发现，儿童和社区是让我们获得自由的承诺。 我们的公共利益取决于个人性格、公民义务、家庭纽带和基本公平，取决于为我们的自由指明方向的无数、不受谴责的体面行为。 在生活中，有时我们被召唤去做伟大的事情。 但正如我们这个时代的一位圣人所说，我们每天都被召唤用挚爱去做小事。 民主国家最重要的任务是由每个人来完成的。 我将按照这些原则生活和领导：以文明的态度推进我的信念，以勇气追求公众利益，为更大的正义和同情发声，呼吁承担责任，并努力做到这一点。 通过所有这些方式，我将把我们历史的价值观带给我们的时代。 你所做的和政府所做的一样重要。 我请求你们在舒适之外寻求共同利益；保护所需的改革不受轻易攻击；为你的国家服务，从你的邻居开始。 我要求你们成为公民：公民，而不是旁观者；公民，而不是主体；负责任的公民，建设服务社区和有个性的国家。 美国人慷慨、坚强、得体，不是因为我们相信自己，而是因为我们拥有超越自我的信念。 当这种公民精神缺失时，任何政府项目都无法取代它。 当这种精神存在时，任何错误都无法与之对抗。 《独立宣言》签署后，弗吉尼亚州政治家约翰·佩奇写信给托马斯·杰斐逊： “我们知道，比赛不属于敏捷者，战斗不属于强者。你不认为有天使乘着旋风指挥这场风暴吗？” 自从杰斐逊来参加他的就职典礼以来，已经过去了很多时间。 岁月和变化在积累。 但他会知道今天的主题：我们国家勇气的伟大故事和尊严的简单梦想。 我们不是这个故事的作者，他用自己的目的填满了时间和永恒。 然而，他的目的是在我们的职责中实现的，我们的职责是在相互服务中履行的。 永不疲倦，永不屈服，永不结束，我们今天重申这一目标，使我们的国家更加公正和慷慨，确认我们的生命和每一个生命的尊严。 这项工作仍在继续。 这个故事还在继续。 一位天使仍然在旋风中驰骋，指挥着这场风暴。 上帝保佑你们所有人，上帝保佑美国。

Blackbeard's Treasure by Jenny Dolly 词汇提示 1.pipe 烟斗 2.trouser 裤子 原文 Chapter III: The Queen Anne All the men of the Queen Anne were waiting on deck when Captain Scott returned. One of them yelled to the boats after he saw the chest. "What have you brought us there, Captain?" Another man answered: "It's gold and rubies and diamonds!" The captain didn't want the men to get too excited, because he didn't know if he should keep the treasure. "That's enough. I want that treasure taken below with our own gold until I decide what we'll do with it." Two men carried the chest below with Blackbeard still on top of it. A man named Stubbs spoke to the captain about the treasure. "Will we give a little of it to each of the men for the long journey?" "I don't know. I've got a strange feeling about that treasure, but I'm not sure why. I think it's better to leave it alone for a while." "But Captain, we've been sailing for seventeen days and we still haven't seen an island. The men need some encouragement." "The men shall carry out their duties and be happy with that. They will get exactly what I promised them." The two men who carried Blackbeard and his treasure below put the chest down to wait for the captain. One of the men, Smith, sat on the chest to tie his shoe. The other was standing, smoking a pipe. Blackbeard stood and watched the men with a smile on his face. He knew they couldn't see him, so he knocked Smith's hat off his head. Smith thought the other man did it. "What do you think you're doing?" "What are you talking about?" "You knocked my hat off." "You're crazy. I was standing here smoking my pipe." The men were about to fight when Captain Scott walked down the stairs. "What's going on down here?" "Nothing,Captain." The Captain opened the lock on the door. "Put it inside next to the Queen's gold." The Queen's gold was in a chest the same size as Blackbeard's treasure, but it looked new. The wood was clean and the lock on it was gold. Blackbeard's chest was old and grey. Blackbeard watched the men put the chest down. Smith stayed behind when the other man left. He opened Blackbeard's chest, took out some of the treasure and put it in his trouser pocket. "Smith!What are you doing in there?" "Coming Captain!" Blackbeard followed Smith out as the captain locked the door.

词汇提示 1.stakes 风险 2.tactic 策略 3.sentiment 观点 4.cynicism 愤世嫉俗 5.apathy 冷漠 6.momentum 势头 7.arrogance 傲慢 8.proliferation 激增 9.diminished 减少 原文 George W. Bush: 'Inaugural Address' (2) But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline,the vulnerable will suffer most. We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos. And this commitment, if we keep it, is away to shared accomplishment. America, at its best, is also courageous. Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations. Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives. We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans. We will build our defenses beyond challenge,lest weakness invite challenge. We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors. The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth. America, at its best, is compassionate. In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise. And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love. And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls. Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless. Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of a nation,not just a government. And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws. Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do. And I can pledge our nation to a goal:When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side. 翻译 乔治·W·布什：“就职演说”（2） 但对美国来说，风险从来都不小。 如果我们的国家不领导自由事业，它就不会被领导。 如果我们不让孩子们的心转向知识和性格，我们就会失去他们的天赋，破坏他们的理想主义。 如果我们允许我们的经济漂移和衰退，弱势群体将遭受最大的痛苦。 我们必须履行我们共同的使命。 礼貌不是一种策略或感情。 这是一种坚定的选择：信任而非犬儒主义，社区而非混乱。 如果我们信守这一承诺，这是实现共同成就的一种方式。 在最好的时候，美国也是勇敢的。 在萧条和战争时期，当捍卫共同危险定义了我们的共同利益时，我们的民族勇气是显而易见的。 现在，我们必须选择我们的父亲和母亲的榜样是激励我们，还是谴责我们。 我们必须在一个充满祝福的时代表现出勇气，直面问题，而不是将问题传给子孙后代。 在无知和冷漠夺走更多年轻人的生命之前，我们将共同夺回美国的学校。 我们将改革社会保障和医疗保险，使我们的孩子免受我们有能力阻止的斗争。 我们将减税，以恢复我们的经济势头，并奖励美国工薪阶层的努力和进取心。 我们将在挑战之外建立防御，以免软弱招致挑战。 我们将面对大规模毁灭性武器，从而使新世纪免于新的恐怖。 自由和我们国家的敌人不应该犯错误： 美国仍然根据历史和选择参与世界事务，形成有利于自由的力量平衡。 我们将捍卫我们的盟友和利益。 我们将毫不傲慢地表现出目标。 我们将以决心和力量对付侵略和恶意。 我们将为孕育我们国家的价值观向所有国家发声。 在最好的情况下，美国是富有同情心的。 在美国良知的平静中，我们知道，根深蒂固的贫困不值得我们国家的承诺。 无论我们对其原因有何看法，我们都可以同意，处于危险中的儿童没有过错。 遗弃和虐待不是上帝的行为，它们是爱的失败。 监狱的泛滥，无论多么必要，都不能取代我们灵魂中的希望和秩序。 哪里有苦难，哪里就有责任。 有需要的美国人并不陌生，他们是公民，不是问题，而是优先事项。 当任何人绝望时，我们所有人都会被削弱。 政府对公共安全和公共卫生、公民权利和普通学校负有重大责任。 然而，同情是一个国家的工作，而不仅仅是一个政府的工作。 有些需求和伤害是如此之深，以至于他们只会对导师的触摸或牧师的祈祷做出回应。 教堂和慈善机构、犹太教堂和清真寺为我们的社区提供了人性，他们将在我们的计划和法律中享有崇高的地位。 我们国家的许多人不知道贫困的痛苦，但我们可以倾听那些知道的人的声音。 我可以向我们的国家保证一个目标：当我们在前往杰里科的路上看到受伤的旅行者时，我们不会越过另一边。
