Change
A professor was giving a big test one day to his students. He handed out all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait.
Once the test was over, the students all handed the tests back in. The professor noticed that one of the students had attached 2 a $100 bill to his test with a note saying “A dollar per point.”
In the next class the professor handed the tests back out. This student got back his test and $64 change.
中文译文】
找零
一天,有一位教授给他的学生们准备了一个大测验。把卷子发完后,他回到他的桌子边等着。
考试一结束,学生们都把卷子交了上来。教授注意到,有一个学生在试卷上附了一张100美元的钞票,还有一张便条写着“一分一美元”。
下一节课的时候教授又把卷子发了下去。那个学生也拿到了他的卷子,以及64美元零钱。
词汇讲解】
1.test测验/卷子。在文中“A professor was giving a big test one day to his students.”的test是“测验”的意思。而“He handed out all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait.”中的test则是“试卷”的意思。
2. hand out分发,给予。I don’t need you handing me out that sort of advice!我不需要你给我那种劝告。He was said to like handing out.据说他乐善好施。这个短语还有“搀扶”的意思:hand sb. out of the bus扶某人下公共汽车。 连起来的handout的意思有:施舍物、传单、新闻通报、声明等。
3. attach附着。这是个很实用的词:a house with a garden attached带有花园的房子;attach importance to sth.认为某事很重要;attach one’s signature 3 to a document在文件上签名。He was strongly attached to his home.他对他的家恋恋不舍。
4. bill钞票。也有“账单”的意思:pay an electricity bill付电费账;“节目单”Who’s on the bill tonight?今晚是谁上场?
5.change找零。作名词的change有很多含义:“转变”the change of seasons季节的转换;“更动”make a few changes in the wording文字上作少许更动。“换车”By train from Shanghai to my hometown there is at least one change.从上海乘火车到我的家乡,路上至少要换一次车。
- I do not attach much weight to the theory.我不十分重视这学说。
- I advise you not to attach yourself to the party.我劝你不要参加这个党。
- The lease entitles the holder to use the buildings and any land attached thereto.本租约持有人有权使用此建筑物以及所附属的土地。
