Today’s key word is Legend
Legend 傳奇;傳說
A legend is a very old and popular story that may be true.
If you refer to someone as a legend, you mean that they are very famous and admired by a lot of people.
The 2007 American science fiction film “I Am Legend” is really cool.
言歸正傳,今天呢,我們來扒一扒最近鬧的沸沸揚揚的消失黃金列車。
This train is definitely a legend. Recently, Poland has confirmed the discovery of an armored(裝甲的) World War II Nazi train that local legend says is full of gold and other loot(戰(zhàn)利品).
波蘭表示,這事兒9成9是真的。 這火車還要從二戰(zhàn)說起。
After Adolf Hitler became the German Chancellor, 他就開始搶奪各種奇珍異寶。
據說,希特勒當時擁有的戰(zhàn)利品價值5億美元左右,放到今天就是46億美元。無數的黃金被融化,鑄成12公斤金錠藏在了這輛火車上。除了各種名畫,黃金,珠寶,古董之外,我們上次提到的 the amber room is reportedly also hidden in
this train.
And we all know that Allies win the World War Two and Hitler shot himself.
但勝利的盟軍并木有找到這輛傳說中的黃金列車。
Someone said that the train has disappeared like a ghost in Poland in a spring in the year of 1945. Actually, there were no evidences to prove the existence of the train. Until, two young men told the world that they found the train!
為此,波蘭還專門成立了一個突發(fā)事件委員會調查此事。在新聞發(fā)布會上,波蘭當局公布了一張雷達探測到的火車照片。雖然不清晰,但還是有火車的輪廓。 到底這個火車存不存在呢?
Let’s wait and see.
