Okay, yes, I'm not actually a pirate, but it is Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I thought I'd get in the spirit.

It's a bit of an internet phenomenon with people celebrating the unique way pirates communicate with each other.

To be honest, it's a bit of a made up language.
实际上，这是一种虚构的语言。
Most historians agree pirates didn't actually say things like "swashbuckling" and "Yo-ho-ho".
大多数历史学家认为，海盗实际上并不会说类似“swashbuckling”、“Yo-ho-ho”这样的词。
In fact, most of the words and phrases we use to pretend to be pirates apparently come from one book, Treasure Island, written by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1883.
事实上，我们臆想的海盗会用的大多数的单词和短语，都出自罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森于1883年写的一本书--《金银岛》。
It tells the story of Jim Hawkins, a young boy who comes into possession of a treasure map, and fictional pirate Long John Silver, who wants all the booty for himself.

In 1950, Disney turned the book into a film, their first-ever completely live action.
1950年，迪士尼把这本书翻拍成了电影，这也是他们第一部完全由真人出演的电影。
Long John Silver was played by a man called Robert Newton.
约翰·西尔弗一角由一个名叫罗伯特·牛顿的人饰演。
He was born in Dorset and went to school in Cornwall, and so had a West Country accent. This heavily influenced his portrayal of Silver.
他出生在多塞特郡，在康沃尔郡上学，所以有一口西部口音。这在很大程度上影响了他对西尔弗的塑造。
Coincidentally, his decision may not have been far off from the truth.
巧合的是，他的决定可能与事实相差不远。
The west coast of England has long historic links with piracy, and the famous pirate Blackbeard is thought to be from Bristol.

Newton's role as Silver was so iconic that many actors started using his turns of phrase and accents when portraying pirates themselves.
牛顿扮演的西尔弗是如此具有标志性，以至于许多演员在扮演海盗时都会用他的措辞和口音。
So, there you have it me hearties, I'd better get back to me ship before they make me walk the plank!
