【課文】

The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income, as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!

據(jù)說，小村莊弗林利有一棵“被詛咒的樹”。由于這棵樹被一家報紙?zhí)峒埃F(xiàn)在到訪弗林利的人數(shù)已經(jīng)有所增加。這棵樹是五十年前種在教堂附近的，但直到最近幾年才獲得了“邪惡”的名聲。據(jù)說，任何人一旦觸碰到這棵樹，就會遭遇不幸；如果摘下一片葉子，就會喪命。許多村民相信，這棵樹已經(jīng)害死了不少人。村民們曾要求教區(qū)牧師將這棵樹砍掉，但迄今為止，他都拒絕了。他指出，這棵樹是一筆可觀的收入來源，因為全國各地的游客都慕名而來。盡管有種種說法，游客們?nèi)栽谡獦淙~，還在樹干上刻下自己的名字。然而到目前為止，還沒有一個人暴死呢!
