概括：Stevie's father became a forest warden. The ole man who lived there before called Old Billy. He moved away and Stevie's family lived there with a dog called Black Dan. It belonged to Old Billy before and was a racing dog.
But every time when his dog couldn't run fast anymore to win the races for him, Old Billy killed it and also bought a new one. Black Dan was the seventh. All of the other six dogs who were killed by Billy became ghosts in the forest.

英语翻译技巧：
1、省略翻译法
这与最开始提到的增译法相反，就是要求你把不符合汉语，或者英语的表达的方式、思维的习惯或者语言的习惯的部分删去，以免使所翻译出的句子沉杂累赘。
2、合并法
合并翻译法就是把多个短句子或者简单句合并到一起，形成一个复合句或者说复杂句，多出现在汉译英的题目里出现，比如最后会翻译成定语从句、状语从句、宾语从句等等。
