【正文】 suspectedthat there might be someone else on the farm who had never been seen. This was indeed the case. A short time ago, villagers were astonished to learn that the ghost of Endley had died. Everyone went to the funeral, for the ‘ghost’ was none other than Eric Cox, a third brother who was supposed to have died as a young man. After the funeral, Joe and Bob revealed a secret which they had kept for over fifty years. Eric had been the eldest son of the family, very much older than his two brothers. He had been obliged to join the army during the Second World War. As he hated army life, he decided to desert his regiment. When he learnt that he would be sent abroad, he returned to the farm and his father hid him until the end of the war. Fearing the authorities, Eric remained in hiding after the war as well. His father told everybody that Eric had been killed in action. The only other people who knew the secret were Joe and Bob. They did not even tell their wives. When their father died, they thought it their duty to keep Eric in hiding. All these years, Eric had lived as a recluse. He used to sleep during the day and work at night, quite unaware of the fact that he had bee the ghost of Endley. When he died, however, his borthers found it impossible to keep the secret any longer. 【課文翻譯】 多年來(lái)，村民們一直認(rèn)為恩得利農(nóng)場(chǎng)在鬧鬼。雇工們說(shuō)，常常一早起來(lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)有人在夜里把活干了，干草已切好，牛棚也打掃干凈了。但事實(shí)上確有此人。葬禮之后，喬和鮑勃透露了他們保守了長(zhǎng)達(dá)50多年的秘密。當(dāng)他了解自己將被派遣出國(guó)時(shí)，他逃回農(nóng)場(chǎng)，父親把他藏了起來(lái)，直到戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)結(jié)束。但他倆連自己的妻子都沒(méi)告訴。 【生詞和短語(yǔ)】 labourer n. 勞動(dòng)者 overnight adv. 一夜間 hay adj. 干 corn n. 谷物 moonlight n. 月光 conscientious adj. 盡職盡責(zé)的, 認(rèn)真的 suspect v. 懷疑 desert v. 開(kāi)小差 regiment n. 團(tuán)(軍隊(duì)) action n. 戰(zhàn)斗 recluse n. 隱士
