The man said that the pen was worth $50, but as a special favour, he would let me have it for $30. I shook my head and held up five fingers indicating that I was willing to pay $5. 向我兜售的第二个人是卖名贵钢笔和手表的。我仔细察看了一枝钢笔，那看上去确实不假，金笔帽下方整齐地刻有“美国制造”字样。那人说那支笔值50英镑，作为特别优惠，他愿意让我出30英镑成交。我摇摇头，伸出5根手指表示我只愿出5镑钱。 · genuine(adj.) 真的—— fake (adj.) 假冒的 · inscribe (v.) 题写，题刻 · be worth + 钱 值…钱 · favour (n.) 恩惠 · indicate (v.) 指示，显示 = show · be willing to do sth. 愿意做某事 反：be unwilling to do sth. = be reluctant to do sth. 不愿意某事 6、Gesticulating wildly, the man acted as if he found my offer outrageous, but he eventually reduced the price to $10.

No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink and to this day it has never written a single word! 虽然他绝望地举起双手，但他毫不迟疑地收下了我付给他的5镑钱。在回到船上之前，我一直为我的绝妙的讨价还价而洋洋得意。然而不管我如何摆弄，那枝漂亮的钢笔就是吸不进墨水来。直到今天，那枝笔连一个字也没写过！ · in despair 绝望地 · feel/be pleased with 对…感到满意 = feel/be satisfied with = feel/be glad with 反：feel/be unsatisfied with 对…不满意 · No matter how… 不管怎么样 = However · fill A with B 用B把A装满（A是容器） = load A with B 用B装满A（A是容器） · to this day 迄今为止（与现在完成时态搭配连用） = up till now = so far = up to the present 兼有两种形式的副词(adv.)： （1） close 近地 closely 仔细地 （2）late 晚 lately 最近 （3）deep 深（空间深度） deeply 深深地 （4）high 高（空间高度） highly 高度地 （5）wide 宽（空间宽度） widely 广泛地 （6）free 免费 freely 无限制地 eg. 他紧挨着我坐。 仔细看他。 eg. 你来得太晚了。 你最近都在做什么？ eg. 他把棍子深深地插入泥土里。 连父亲也被这部电影深深感动了。 eg. 这架飞机飞得很高。 你的看法很有道理。 eg. 他把门开得大大的。 汉语在世界上被广泛地应用。 eg. 无论何时，你都可以在我餐馆免费用餐。 你可以自由地畅所欲言。 eg.
