本课您将学到:in, out of(出版?绝版?),without a doubt(毫无疑问) Only the works of William Shakespeare(莎士比亚) and the Bible(圣经) have sold more copies than Agatha Christies novels(小说). Agatha Christie is, without a doubt, the most famous mystery(侦探、推理小说) writer in the world. Her books have been translated into more than 100 languages. All 77 novels and story collections(故事集) she wrote are still in print 25 years after her death. Agatha Christie was born in 1890 in a southwest England seaside(海滨) town. She enjoyed a very comfortable childhood in a big house with plenty of servants(仆人). With her sister and brother away at school, she often played alone. She passed the time by making up stories which she told to herself. 克里斯蒂显然从小就发现了自己编造故事的天赋,并善用这种天赋,成就了自己的侦探故事王国。她本人也被称作是Queen of Crime(侦探小说女王)。 「读书笔记」 唯有威廉莎士比亚的作品与圣经的销量比阿加莎克里斯蒂的小说多。(Only the works of William Shakespeare and the Bible have sold more copies than Agatha Christies novels.) copy不仅可以指抄本,副本;复制品,还可以指(相同书、报、杂志等的)份,本,册,一本就是a copy,许多本就是many copies. |
