DAY381

L19-4：A very dear cat

Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening. He looked very well though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle of milk. The police were astounded when Mrs. Ramsay told them what she had done. She explained that Rastus was very dear to her. Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in more ways than one!

表达积累：astound同义词：great surprise；astonish

in more ways than one

(used to draw attention to the fact that the statement made has more than one meaning用以指出所说的事实尚有其他含义):

He's a big man in more ways than one.他是个了不起的人--在很多方面.

翻译要点：独立主格结构的逻辑主语表示一般人 如we,you,one时，常可省略，有如下用法：generallyspeaking；strictly speaking；talking of；speaking of；judging from；considering；other things being equal；taking all things into consideration/account

L20-1：Pioneer pilots

In 1908 Lord Northcliffe offered a prize of $1,000 to the first man who would fly across the English Channel. Over a year passed before the first attempt was made.

He had travelled only seven miles across the Channel when his engine failed and he was forced to land on sea.
