这种事情在你身上出现过吗？你有没有把裤子塞洗衣机，然后又想在裤子的后兜有一张大面值的纸币？当你把裤子抢救出来时，你有没有发现那张纸币已经变得比白纸还白？当英国人犯这种错误时，他们不必感到绝望（而许多国家的人都有这种绝望的感觉）。对英国人来说，值得庆幸的是英国银行有一个残钞鉴别组，负责理那些把钱塞进机器或塞给狗的人提出的索赔要求。看起来，狗很喜欢咀嚼钱币。

最近的一个案例与简·巴特林有关，她的未婚夫约翰拥有一家生意兴隆家具店。有一天约翰的生意很好，他把一只装有3,000英镑的钱包放进微波炉内保存。然后，他和简一起去骑马。回家后，简用微波炉煮了晚饭，无意中之中把她未婚夫的钱包也一起煮了。

可以想像他们发现一只煮得很好看的钱包，钞票已化成灰时的沮丧心情。约翰去找银行经理，经理把约翰的钱包和纸币的残留物送到英国银行在纽卡斯尔的一个专门部门——残钞鉴别组。他们鉴定了这些残留物。约翰拿回了他损失的全部数额。“只要有东西可供识别，我们会把钱还给人家的，“银行的一位女发言人说。“去年，我们对21，000起索赔要求支付了150万英镑。”一、单词讲解Newwordsandexpressionsmutilate['mju:tileit]v.使残缺不全chew[tʃu:]v.咀嚼fiance[fi'ɑ:nsei]n.未婚夫microwave['maikrəuweiv]n.微波，微波炉oven[ˈʌvən]n.炉灶safekeeping['seif'ki:piŋ]n.妥善保管Newcastle['nju:kɑ:sl]n.纽卡斯尔（英国港市）identify[ai'dentifai]v.鉴定，识别spokeswoman['spəukswumən]n.女发言人mutilatev.是残缺不全(removepartofthebody)eg.Manypeopleweremutilatedandmaimedintheblast.maim使残废amputate:tocutoffadiseasedarmorleginanoperation截肢lop:cutalimboffabody砍去手脚（limb：手足，四肢）sever：（inanaccident)受伤而失去ladiestheLadies女厕所theGents男厕所W.C:waterclosetJohnAm.（俚语）厕所TarzenHowtogototoilet：1)I'dliketobeexcused.2)Ihavetoretireforamoment.3)Excuseme.chewv.咀嚼chewinggumbubblegumchewupabone啃骨头chewatabonechewonsth琢磨chewoverstheg.Ibegantochewonwhathehadtoldme.Dogs,itseems,lovetochewupmoney!chewsbout骂得狗血喷头chewthefat闲谈（tohavealongfriendlyconversation）biteoffmorethanyoucanchew贪多嚼不烂fiance[fi'ɔnsei]n.未婚夫aman(awomanisengagedto)fiancee[fi'ɔnsei]n.未婚妻awoman(amanisengagedto)bacheloreligiblebachelor：arichyoungman钻石王老五wife-to-be准妻子husband-to-bebride新娘bridegroom新郎mistress情妇fancyman情夫concubine姨太太AFarewelltoConcubine霸王别姬micro-（术语）小的；微小的microscope显微镜microwaveoven微波炉microfilm微缩胶卷microbe微生物，细菌Microsoft微软mini-小miniskirtminicarminibusminibreak：ashortholidayminiature微型画pocketpocketmoney零花钱pocketdictionary袖珍字典pocketcamera便携式照相机pocketedition袖珍版anemptypocket穷光蛋macro-（术语）大的macroeconomics宏观经济学spokesmann.发言人spokesmanfortheCabinet内阁发言人spokesmanfortheWhiteHouse白宫发言人tradesman生意人statesman政治家(褒)--politician政客woodsman樵夫speakerBr.(下议院）议长；Am.(众议员）议长speakeroftheHouseofCommonsManyofusnolongeruseman,foritwomenarenotincluded.Weprefer‘person'insteadspokesman→spokesperson二、课文讲解Hasiteverhappenedtoyou?happento:tohaveeg.Loveneverhappenstome.occurto:anideasuddenlycomesintoyourmindeg.Tobuyanewcarneveroccurstome.strikesbas+adj.eg.Hisdeathstruckusasodd.Haveyoueverputyourtrousersinthewashingmachineandthenrememberedtherewasalargebanknoteinyourbackpocket?Haveyoueverputyourtrousersinthewashingmachine…trousers(Br.)pants(Am.)likeantsinone'spants如坐针毡eg.Thehusbandfeltlikeantsinhispantswhenheheardthathiswifewasgoingtogivebirthtoababy.…therewasalargebanknoteinyourbackpocket?banknote纸钞riddle：Whyisariverrich?Becauseithasgottwobanks,ariverisrich.greenbackgreenpower(Am.)bogus假钞eg.Howwouldyouliketopay?I'dliketopaybycreditcard.(I'dliketopaybycheque.)(I'dliketopayincash.)makeafortune发财marryafortune嫁个有钱人fortuneteller算命先生Whenyourescuedyourtrousers,didyoufindthenotewaswhiterthanwhite?rescuev./n.解救rescuesb/sthfromeg.Rescuethecompanyfromruin.eg.Onlyworkrescuedmyselffrometoone'srescue解围savev.挽救(生命)savern.存款人savorn.味道saviorn.救星whiterthanwhite联想会产生意想不到的效果。MartinLutherKing用Fivescoreyearsago开始他著名的”Ihaveadream”的演讲，他希望我们能联想到林肯的Fourscoreandsevenyearsago。(score指20，用作此意时复数形式常用其本身。）awhiteday幸运的一天ablackday倒霉的一天awhiteelephant大而无用的东西PeoplewholiveinBritainneedn'tdespairwhentheymakemistakeslikethis(andalotofpeopledo)!PeoplewholiveinBritainneedn'tdespairwhentheymakemistakeslikethis…despairn./v.绝望runoutofhopeeg.Thewisdomisthedespairofsmallerman.eg.Tohewastoneofhopeoutofthemountainofdespair.fallintodespair/sinkintodespaireg.Themotherfellintodespairattheideathathersonsacrificedonthebattle.despairofsth(消极）eg.Hedespairedofhimself.needn’tneed既可以做情态动词，又可以做实义动词。have有eg.Ihaven'tabook.don'tneedtodo实义动词Fortunatelyforthem,theBankofEnglandhasateamcalledMutilatedLadieswhichdealswithclaimsfrompeoplewhofedtheirmoneytoamachineortotheirdog.mutilatedladies(damagedbanknotes)TheQueen'sheadappearsonEnglishbanknotesandladyreferstotheQueen.…whichdealswithclaimsfrompeoplewhofedtheirmoneytoamachineortotheirdog.claimv./n.1)v.声称eg.Don'tclaimtoknowwhatyoudonotknow.2)v.claimedtohavedonesth声称曾经做过eg.Uptonow,noorganizationclaimedtohavebeenresponsibleforthebombing.3）v.（有权利）认领eg.Claimawatchn.要求，索赔territorialclaim领土要求makeaclaimfor对…提出要求（索赔）makeaclaimfordamage就损失提出索赔feedv.喂（feed,fed,fed）feedone'sface:eatalotbefedupwith烦透了，受够了eg.I'mfedupwithyou.(I'vehadituptoherewithyou!)ArecentcaseconcernsJaneButlinwhosefiance,John,runsasuccessfulfurniturebusiness.Johnhadaverygooddayandputhiswalletcontaining￡3,000intothemicrowaveovenforsafekeeping.Arecentcaseconcerns…casen.事件，案例crackthecase破案casehistory病历eg.It'squiteanothercase.完全是另外一码事。It'saclearcaseofsth简直就是eg.It'saclearcaseofcheating!这简直就是欺骗eg.It'saclearcaseofblackmail!这简直就是敲诈吗！concern与……有关联（抽象）asfarasI'mconcerned就我而言whensthisconcerned只要一牵扯到eg.WhenEnglishisconcerned,Iamlikeababeinthewoods.John,runsasuccessfulfurniturebusiness.John成功的经营着一家家具行。forsafekeeping以妥善保管eg.Peopleputmoneyinthebankforsafekeeping.eg.Peopledepositmoneyinthebankforsafekeeping.safeguardn.保卫，保安bodyguardn.保镖ThenheandJanewenthorse-riding.gohorseriding骑马gobackriding骑在父亲的背上goChristmasshoppinggowindowshoppingWhentheygothome.Janecookedtheirdinnerinthemicrowaveovenandwithoutrealizingit,cookedherfiance'swalletaswell.Imaginetheirdismaywhentheyfoundabeautifully-cookedwalletandnotesturnedtoash!dismayn.(theworry,disappointmentandhappi
