高考英语词汇复习——透过语境巧记高考英语3500词（第六天） 第六篇 A Vase and A Maid Nobody knew who she was except for being a maid,but she was thought highly of because she saved a valuable and rare wooden vase belonging to a former castle of the Qing Dynasty, which was exploded by enemy troops at war. It is said that the owner of the castle was a sailor. When he was dying, he requested the maid to protect the fancy and amazing vase. The clever maid took it apart and sank it into a local river,for which the maid was treated cruelly by the enemy in search of it,but she was brave enough to keep the secret under the cruel trial. There was no doubt that the vase survived, but it was evident that some informal debates on its value occurs very often. Some people thought it was worth no less than one million dollars because of its design in a unique style and beautiful paintings with color of honey. In addition, it was decorated with priceless jewels selected by artists, and the jewels were too firm to remove. Nowadays, the precious cultural relic is displayed at the entrance of the reception hall in the country’s museum. In return, the maid’s portrait was just placed beside the vase to remind people to remember the unknown hero forever. 译文： 女仆和花瓶 除了知道她是个女仆，没有人知道她是谁，但是她受到高度评价，因为她挽救了一只珍贵的罕见的木制花瓶，这只花瓶属于清朝以前一个城堡的，这个城堡在战争中被敌人的军队炸毁了。 据说城堡的主人是个水手。他在弥留之际，他请求女仆保护这只奇特的令人惊讶的花瓶。这位聪明的女仆把它拆开，并且把它沉入到当地的一条河里，为此女仆受到寻找花瓶的敌人的残酷对待，但是在残酷的审讯下，她足够勇敢保守了秘密。 毫无疑问，花瓶幸存下来，但很明显，关于它的价值一些非正式的争论常常发生。一些人认为它值不少于100万美元由于它的独一无二的设计以及带有蜂蜜般颜色的美丽绘画。另外，它用艺术家们所挑选的价值连城的珠宝装饰着，这些珠宝太牢固了不能从它上面拿掉。 如今，这件珍贵的文物被陈列在国家博物馆接待大厅的入口处作为回报，这位女仆的画像被放在花瓶旁边提醒人们永远记住这位无名英雄。 高考词汇每日一测 第六天（必修二unit1） cultural rare valuable survive vase dynasty dragon amaze amazing amazed select honey design fancy style decorate jewel artist belong troop reception wooden doubt former worth rebuild painting castle trial evidence entrance Sailor sink maid informal debate explode remove think highly of take apart be worth doing less than at war in return belong to in search of 第六篇同步巩固练习题 一、单句语法填空 I sincerely invite you to go to the theater with me to appreciate the performances which are well worth (watch).
