2、from dust is usually a forbidding place. But no one has to muster up courage to enter a less pretentious antique shop. There is always hope that in its labyrinth of musty, dark, disordered rooms a real rarity will be found amongst the piles of assorted junk that little the floors.No one discovers a
3、rarity by chance. A truly dedicated bargain hunter must have patience, and above all, the ability to recognize the worth of something when he sees it. To do this, he must be at least as knowledgeable as the dealer. Like a scientist bent on making a discovery, he must cherish the hope that one day he
4、 will be amply rewarded.My old friend, Frank Halliday, is just such a person. He has often described to me how he picked up a masterpiece for a mere $50, One Saturday morning, Frank visited an antique shop in my neighbourhood. As he had never been there before, he found a great deal to interest him.
5、 The morning passed rapidly and Frank was about to leave when he noticed a large packing case lying on the floor.

9、令女士们面红耳赤的古代物品，那就是一些带有翅 膀的男性生殖器的雕像。其实这是古罗马的一个著名神祗的形象。这个神祗在拉丁语中叫做 “法瑟勒斯”(Fascinus),他实际上是男性生殖器的化身，因此经常以这种“飞天鸡鸡” 的形象出现。古罗马人把法瑟勒斯当做保护神，认为他能够辟邪驱鬼，尤其是能够保护人们 不受到“邪恶之眼” (evil eye)的伤害。因此，古罗马人专门为他修建了神庙，希望他能 保护罗马的平安，还制作了很多“飞天鸡鸡”作为护身符，挂在小孩的脖子上、士兵的武器 上、凯旋回国的将军的马车上，用来保护他们不受邪灵的伤害。这种护身符也被称为fascinus。 除了能辟邪驱鬼外，古罗马人还相信
10、这种护身符具有神奇的魔力，其中一种就是能够催眠他 人。因此使用fascinus来催眠他人就叫做fascinare,字面意思就是“施展法瑟勒斯的魔力”。 这就是英语单词fascinate的来源。fascination： ,faestneMe)n n.魅力,魔力,入迷,迷恋fascinating： ,f8esfneMa)n adj.迷人的，使人神魂颠倒的forbidding adj.望而生畏的，望而却步的muster mAStar v. 鼓起She left the room with all the dignity she could muster.她尽量庄重体面地走了出去。pretentiou

16、he soil土壤的化学成分 参考译文古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。高档一点的古玩店为了防尘，把文物漂亮地陈列在 玻璃柜子里，那里往往令人望而却步。而对不太装腔作势的古玩店，无论是谁都不用壮着胆 子才敢往里进。人们还常常有希望在发霉、阴暗、杂乱无章、迷宫般的店堂里，从杂乱地摆 放在地面上的、一堆堆各式各样的破烂货里找到一件稀世珍品。无论是谁都不会一下子就发现一件珍品。一个到处找便宜的人必须具有耐心，而且最重要的 是看到珍品时要有鉴别珍品的能力。要做到这一点，他至少要像古董商一样懂行。他必须像 一个专心致志进行探索的科学家那样抱有这样的希望，即终有一天，他的努力会取得丰硕的 成果。我的老朋
17、友弗兰克哈利戴正是这样一个人。他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一 位名家的杰作。一个星期六的上午，弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。由于他从未去过那 儿，结果他发现许多有趣的东西。上午很快过去了，弗兰克正准备离去，突然看见地板上放 着一只体积很大的货箱。古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久，但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。经弗 兰克恳求，古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。箱内东西令人失望。除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹 的匕首外，货箱内装满陶器，而且大部分都已破碎裂。弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子，突然 发现在箱底有一幅微型画，画面构图与纸条使他想起一幅他所熟悉的意大利画，于是他决定 将画买了下来。古董商漫不经心看了一眼那幅画，告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。弗兰克几乎 无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情，因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的 一幅未被发现的杰作，价值几十万英镑。
