17-Chapter 9：Missing Face 第九章：消失的脸庞 上 文章：(中文意思请听节目) What message was the Scroll trying to deliver? A pirate had ever told Coco that the most powerful witch cat in history was 100 percent absolutely black. But she still had a white paw… Coco was starving. She hadn’t eaten in days. She crawled into a kitchen, being extra careful not to make any sound. Coco ate some cabbage. Luckily enough, she also found a raw sausage and cream. She gobbled down the food. On her way back to the hiding place, Coco heard the captain sigh heavily in the steering-engine room. Sitting behind the equipment and machinery devices of the ship, the captain was melting lots of buttons to make a singular one on a heater. The captain had developed a habit of ripping off a button from anyone he had killed with his sword. He believed his sword would recognize all those dead souls by touching the sword with the big black button that he was making. “Did Captain Button feel ashamed of what he had done to his crew? ” Coco thought to herself after hearing his sigh. But she quickly disregarded her momentary thought. She felt it very unlikely that, by any measure, the captain would feel any guilt and remorse based on her own opinions. At the conclusion of his life, Captain Button was looking back across what he had done. In the days of his youth, the captain worked in a production workshop and gained a reputation as a hardworking junior worker, until one day a sailor showed him a huge ruby, which became a turning point in his life. He then followed a course in pursuit of a totally different meaning of life. There was no pride or glory, and what he had achieved was all against civilisation. 17-雅思词汇：829--880（中文意思请见节目） 1 deliver; 2 delivery; 3 percent; 4 absolutely; 5 starve; 6 starvation; 7 crawl; 8 extra; 9 cabbage; 10 raw; 11 sausage; 12 cream; 13 gobble; 14 sigh; 15 equipment; 16 machinery; 17 device; 18 singular; 19 single; 20 heater; 21habit; 22recognize; 23 recognition; 24 ashamed; 25 shame; 26 disregard; 27 regard; 28 momentary; 29 unlikely; 30 likelihood; 31measure; 32 guilt; 33 remorse; 34 base; 35 basis;36 opinion; 37 conclusion; 38 conclude; 39 youth; 40 production; 41 productive; 42 workshop; 43 gain; 44 hardworking; 45 junior; 46 ruby; 47 pursuit; 48 pursue; 49meaning; 50 meaningful; 51 glory; 52 glorious; 53 achieve; 54 civilisation; 55 civil;
