第32章 Good-bye,money

再见,钞票

A Trip to Disney

On a trip to Disney World in Florida,my husband and I and our two children devoted ourselves wholeheartedly to the wonders of this attraction. After three exhausting days,we headed for home.

As we drove away,our son waved and said,“Good-bye,Mickey.”

Our daughter waved and said,“Good-by,Minnie.”

My husband waved,rather weakly,and said,“Good-bye,Money.”

迪斯尼之旅

弗罗里达州的迪斯尼乐园是一个迷人的地方。一次我和丈夫以及两个孩子前往旅游,我们全身心地沉醉在它的各种奇观之中。精疲力竭地玩了三天之后,我们要回家了。

当我们驱车离开时,儿子挥手说:“再见,美奇。”

女儿挥着手说,“再见,美妮。”

丈夫也有气无力地挥了挥手,说道:“再见,钞票。”

知道不知道

苹果酒为低度酒,含有较丰富的营养,适量饮用可舒筋活络,增进身体健康。发酵苹果汁在美国又叫硬苹果汁(hard cider),在英国、法国、澳在利亚等国叫苹果酒。根据加工方法和产品的特点可将苹果酒分为发酵苹果酒、气酒和露酒等几种。发酵苹果酒是用苹果汁发酵菌发酵酿制而成。气酒是含二氧化碳的苹果酒,又称发泡酒。露酒一般是用食用酒精浸泡果实或与果汁配制而成。
