以前，有一位著名的船长。这位船长非常成功,成年累月地带领着他的商船在世界各地航行。从来没有暴风雨或者海盗能够战胜他。他深受船员和船长们的敬仰爱戴。 但是，这位船长有一点特别的地方。每天早上他都会做一件奇怪的事情。他把自己锁在船长室里，打开一个保险箱。 保险箱里有一个信封，信封里有一张纸。他会凝视这张纸一会儿，再把它放回去锁起来。然后，他便开始一天的工作。年复一年，都是如此，他的船员们开始觉得非常好奇。那是一张藏宝图吗？那封信是曾经的爱人写给他的吗？每个人都猜测着那封奇怪的信里是怎样的内容。 一天，船长在海上去世了。安葬好船长的遗体后，大副便带领船员们进入了船长室。他打开了那个保险箱，拿出信并打开了信封。 大副看完后面色惨白地把信递给了其他人。信纸上写着：“Port左舷，Starboard右舷。” A Strange Letter Once upon a time there was a famous sea captain. This captain was very successful at what he did, for years he guided merchant ships all over the world. Never did stormy seas or pirates get the best of him. He was admired by his crew and fellow captains. However, there was one thing different about this captain. Every morning he went through a strange ritual. He would lock himself in his captain’s quarters and open a small safe. In the safe was an envelope with a piece of paper inside. He would stare at the paper for a minute, and then lock it back up. After, he would go about his daily duties. For years this went on, and his crew became very curious. Was it a treasure map? Was it a letter from a long lost love? Everyone speculated the contents of the strange envelope. One day the captain died at sea. After laying the captain’s body to rest, the first mate led the entire crew into the captain's quarters. He opened the safe, got the envelope, and opened it. The first mate turned pale and showed the paper to the others. Four words were on the paper, “Port Left Starboard Right. ” |
