5、genuine. At the base of the gold cap, the words made in the U.S.A had been nearly inscribed. The man said that the pen was worth $50, but as a special favour, he would let me have it for $30.

9、伸出5根手指表示我只愿出5镑钱。那人激动地打着手势，仿佛我的出价使他不能容忍。但他终于把价钱降到了10英镑。我耸耸肩膀掉头走开了。一会儿，他突然从后追了上来，把笔塞到我手里。虽然他绝望地举起双手，但他毫不迟疑地收下了我付给他的5镑钱。在回到船上之前，我一直为我的绝妙的讨价还价而洋洋得意。然而不管我如何摆弄，那枝漂亮的钢笔就是吸不进墨水来。直到今天，那枝笔连一个字也没写过!1、 单词讲解 New words and expressions wares wz n. 货物， 商品 anchor k v. 停航下锚deck dek n. 甲板silverware silvw n. 银器tempt te
