2, When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white?
rescue 救援,援救
e.g. Hundreds of people went to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.
这里rescue是一个大词,大词小用可以加强语气
whiter than white 这里表示damaged, mutilated的意思,中文是:损坏,残缺不全
3,People who live in Britain needn't despair when they make mistakes like this (and a lot of people do)!
needn't despair=needn't feel despaired
4,Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog.
Fortunately for them
相当于luckily / happily for them
deal with sth. 处理
make a claim for提出索赔,对(赔偿等)提出要求
feed sth. to 把某物喂给...
feed 的过去式和过去分词都是:fed
5,Dogs, it seems, love to chew up money!
it seems 似乎
本句把dogs提前,加强了语气,本句可还原成: It seems that dogs love to chew up money! |
