New King or Queen Needed for Piel Island

from News For Kids · host ICRT

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a king or a queen? 你有沒有想過當國王或女王會怎麼樣呢? Well, now you can be one, kind of… Piel Island is a tiny island in England. There isn't much there apart from a castle and a pub. 皮爾島是一個英格蘭的小島,除了一座城堡跟小酒館以外,那裡沒有什麼東西。 The island does get some visitors though, and someone needs to take care of the island and also serve customers in the pub. 不過確實有觀光客會去,所以需要有人管理小島,並且在小酒館招呼顧客。 There is an old tradition on the island that the boss of the pub is also King or Queen of Piel Island! And guess what? They need a new one! The king or queen even has a throne. 這個小島的傳統是讓酒館老闆當國王或女王,還有寶座喔! When they first sit on the throne they have buckets of beer poured all over them. So, King or Queen of Piel Island! Your own castle, with beautiful nature and amazing views. Sounds pretty cool, right? 很棒吧!擁有自己的城堡和大自然的美景。 Well… actually, it's pretty inconvenient, there's no store on the island! Most of the island doesn't have electricity, and a lot of the time you'll be the only person there! 但是島上沒有商店,也大部分都沒電,還有你幾乎都是一個人! Hmmm… Sounds lonely. Would you want to be King or Queen of Piel Island? ________________________________ Vocabulary 當皮爾島的國王或是女王,沒有想像中的好。 1) Castle 城堡。 What is a castle, Ryan? 城堡是什麼,萊恩?
