Lesson 87 A perfect alibi 1 Listening-听力 LESSON 87 ‘At the time the murder was committed, I was travelling on the 8 o’clock train to London,’ said the man. 　　‘Do you always catch such an early train?’ asked the inspector. 　　‘Of course I do,’ answered the man. ‘I must be at work at 10 o’clock. My employer will confirm that I was there on time.’ 　　‘Would a later train get you to work on time?’ asked the inspector. 　　‘I suppose it would, but I never catch a later train.’ 　　 　　‘At what time did you arrive at the station?’ 　　‘At ten to eight. I bought a paper and waited for the train.’ 　　‘And you didn't notice anything unusual?’ 　　‘Of course not.’ 　　‘I suggest,’ said the inspector, ‘that you are not telling the truth. I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o'clock train, but that you caught the 8：25 which would still get you to work on time. You see, on the morning of the murder, the 8 o’clock train did not run at all. It broke down at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line.’ 2 LESSON 87 words-单词讲解 1 alibi ['ælɪbaɪ] n.不在犯罪现场 2 commit [kə'mɪt] v.犯(罪、错) 3 inspector [ɪn'spektə] n.探长 4 employer [ɪm'plɔiə] n.雇主 5 confirm [kən'fɜːm] v.确认，证实 6 suggest [sə'dʒest] v.提醒 7 truth [tru:θ] n.真相 alibi n.不在犯罪现场 prove an alibi= set up an alibi 提出不在犯罪现场的辩护 He has a perfect alibi. 他有案发时不在现场的充分证据 They all had alibis for that night. 他们都有那天晚上不在现场的证明 confirm v.确认，证实 confirm sth He confirmed the rumor. 他证实那谣言是真的。 confirm ( that)确定某事物 The president conformed ( that ) he would visit France the following month. commit ( 1 )v.犯(罪、错) eg : He must have committed a crime. eg : A robbery was committed near here. commit suicide自杀; commit murder杀人 commit a blunder犯了大错 （2）把...委托于....交付、投入...... eg : They committed the patient to the mental hospital. eg : He was committed to prison. 他被关入监狱。 commit on sth /commit to do sth / commit to doing sth 承诺某人某事 eg : She didn’t want to commit herself on that matter. eg : The government committed itself to reduce / reducing taxes. eg : He committed himself
