A thirsty ghost


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 whiskey bottle 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!

伊恩.汤普森先生刚刚买下一间聚乐部现在就要转手卖出。伊恩.汤普森之所以要出手的原因是因为这里有鬼魂出没。他告诉我有一天晚上没有睡着因为他听到酒吧哪里发出奇怪的声音。第二天早上,他发现酒吧大门被用椅子抵住,家具也有被移动了。尽管伊恩.汤普森先生在上床睡觉之前关掉所有的灯,但是第二天早上这些灯还是开着的。他还说到他发现五个威士忌的空酒瓶也许是鬼魂昨天晚上喝掉的。当我暗示他说是不是镇上的人进来偷喝的,伊恩.汤普森先生摇了摇头。镇上的人告诉他即使他讲酒吧免费送人都没有人要。
