Next time that you think you’re having a bad day
The average cost of rehabilitate one seal after the Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively-saved animals were released into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, a killer whale ate them both.
In 1992, Frank Perkings in Los Angeles made an attempt on the world flagpole-sitting record. Suffering from the flu, he came 8 hours shorter than the 400-day record; his sponsor has gone bust, his girlfriend had left him and his phone and electricity had been cut off.
A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electrical kettle. Intending to jolt him from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his arm in two places. Until that moment, he had been happily listening to his walkman

當(dāng)你覺(jué)得自己倒霉時(shí)，看看這個(gè)…
阿拉斯加瓦爾迪茲發(fā)生石油泄漏以后，救援每只海豹的平均費(fèi)用達(dá)到8萬(wàn)美元。在一個(gè)特別的儀式上面，有兩只花巨款拯救回來(lái)的海豹，在人們的歡呼和掌聲中被放回大自然。一分鐘后，它們雙雙被一頭殺人鯨吞入肚中。
1992年，洛杉磯的弗蘭克·帕金斯決心打破坐旗桿的世界記錄。由于染上感冒，他在還差8小時(shí)破400天記錄的時(shí)候下來(lái);隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)他的贊助人已經(jīng)破產(chǎn),女朋友早拂袖而去，而他的電話和電都被停了。
一名婦女回到家中，發(fā)現(xiàn)丈夫在廚房里瘋狂的扭動(dòng)身體，腰間似乎有根電線連到電暖壺。為了救他與危難之中，她就近從后門(mén)抄了一塊厚木版朝他劈去，把他的胳膊劈成兩段。其實(shí)此前他一直快樂(lè)的聽(tīng)著隨身聽(tīng)。
總結(jié)：
開(kāi)頭的第一句話相信大家都被慎了一下：The average cost of rehabilitate one seal after the Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. 這里面有兩個(gè)比較關(guān)鍵和詞：rehabilitate 和 seal 意為：使康復(fù)和海豹;句中的關(guān)鍵詞如果不認(rèn)識(shí)的話，試試跳過(guò)這句，看看后面的句子，能不能大概猜測(cè)一下這句話的意思呢?
然后有個(gè)怪怪的詞：flagpole-sitting 試著拆這個(gè)詞。。flag-pole-sitting能猜個(gè)八九成了吧
這篇文章總體上生詞比較多，但結(jié)構(gòu)不復(fù)雜，但里面一些詞用得不錯(cuò)哦，比如說(shuō)：Suffering from the flu，his sponsor has gone bust等等
