Lesson 44 Through the forest 穿过森林 How did Mrs. Sterling get her bag back? Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. The strap needs mending, said Mrs. Sterling later, but they did not steal anything. 参考译文 安.斯特林夫人在穿过森林追赶两个男人时，她并没有考虑到所冒的风险。刚才，当她和孩子们正在森林边上野餐的时候，这两个人冲到她跟前，企图抢走她的手提包。在争抢中，手提包的带断了，包落入这两个人手里，他们拔腿跑进了树林。斯特林夫人非常气愤，向着他们追了过去。只追了一会儿便上气不接下气了，但她还是继续追赶。当她赶上他们时，发现他们已经坐了下来，正翻着包里的东西。于是她直冲过去。这两个人吓了一跳，扔下提包逃跑了。“这提包带需要修理，”斯特林夫人事后说道，“不过他们什么也没偷走。” 一、单词讲解 New words and expressions forest n. 森林 risk n. 危险，冒险 picnic n. 野餐 edge n. 边缘 strap n. 带，皮带 possession n. 所有 breath n. 呼吸 contents n. （常用复数）内有的物品 mend v. 修理 forest n． 森林， 山林 a thick forest 茂密的森林 forest animal 森林动物 a forest fire 森林火灾 through the forest 穿过森林 woods n． （小一些的）森林 risk 1)n．危险，风险 risk of sth …的风险 run the risk of doing sth 冒风险 run the risk of sth take the risk of doing sth take the risk of sth 例: We should think of the risks of the plan. 我们应该考虑这个计划的风险 We cant run the risk of losing all our money. 我们不能冒着失去所有钱财的危险。 You can t get rich without taking risks. 你不冒险是不能致富的。 2)V．使（自己或某人）面临危险 risk one s health 冒失去健康的危险 risk one s fortune 冒失去钱财的危险 risk one s neck 冒失去的生命危险 risk one s life 冒失去生命的危险 3) 一些短语： at any risk 无论冒着什么样的危险 run a risk 冒险 dt risk 处于危险之中 risky [riski] adj． 充满危险的，充满风险的 a risky undertaking 多风险的事业 danger n．危险 adventure adj．冒险的 adventurous adj．喜欢冒险的，充满风险的刺激的，惊
