  Today’s key word is Biscuit
  Biscuit 饼干
  A biscuit is a small flat cake that is crisp and usually sweet.
  Actually, there are different ways to say 饼干。
  Biscuit 是不列颠人民对饼干的称呼。我们更常用的是美国的叫法cookies。Cracker 1也可以用来说饼干。
  今天,我们来讲一块“出身”困苦,逆袭成名的饼干。
  Long long time ago, there is a cracker. It was on the same ship with famous Jack 2 and Rose the Titanic 3.
  我们都知道,泰坦尼克号邮轮在1912年处女航的时候撞冰山而沉没。
  那这块Biscuit是怎么存活下来的呢?
  话说,this plain biscuit was part of a survival kit(救生包) on one of the lifeboats.这块生来为救人命的饼干,并没有被当时获救的人们吃掉。
  The biscuit was saved by James Fenwick, a passenger on the Carpathia(卡帕西亚号) which picked up Titanic survivors(幸存者).He kept it in an envelope(信封) complete with original notation(原装说明)“Pilot biscuit from Titanic lifeboat April 1912”.
  在经历了沉船的悲剧之后,这位饼干成功逆袭成史上最贵的biscuit。
  It was sold for ?15,000。(折合成人民币将近15万。)And it was bought by a collector in Greece.拍卖者说:“It is incredible that this biscuit has survived such a dramatic event - the sinking of the world’s largest ocean liner - costing 1,500 lives.”
  So Would you pay ?15,000 for a 100-year-old biscuit?
