当那座烟花工厂的建设到了油漆阶段时,一个水泵被安装进来。接着,在它附近的油漆工都得了一种严重的疾病(疾病击败油漆工),其特征与烧伤相似。

一位经验丰富的内科医生被指定去照顾受害者并负责处理这一案例。他热情地投入到工作中,但是没有预见到这是一次艰难的挑战。在简单的询问后,他就宣布说罪魁祸首是受污染的油漆(油漆应受责备)。但是没有确实的证据,人们很怀疑并拒绝他的观点,大家都说他提出的理论毫无道理。他对自己要求更加严格,并全身心地投入到那个案例中。除了询问,他还制作了详细的图表,谨慎地分析各项数据。最后,他终于得出了一个科学的结论,把疾病和水泵中的镭联系起来。镭是宇宙中的一种放射性物质,当暴露在镭的辐射中时,人体吸收其射线,立刻染上疾病。

麋鹿小姐的期待是酒刀先生。她最喜欢看他开酒。骨节分明的手指握着瓶颈,恰到好处的力度,就像表演一场魔法秀。警惕而顽固的瓶塞,像守卫的小士兵。遇上不对的人,宁愿粉身碎骨,不求全身而退。可在他的手中,却格外顺从地把自己守护了一生的琼瑶佳酿,心甘情愿地呈上。仅这一幕,就足以让麋鹿小姐微醺其中。

他把水泵向后旋转,拿走了里面的镭,这个简单的动作治愈了所有的受害者。

我的表弟和他妻子在举办了婚礼后到联合王国做全国旅游观光去了。他昨天传真了一封英文信给我,让我高兴的是,他再也不犯时态错误了,而且他的描述也粗略地向我阐明了关于他在英国了解的一些问题——它的货币,行政管理,把它分成四个行政区的制度,还有南爱尔兰在脱离联合王国时发生的一些历史上的冲突和争执。

因为不愿意漏掉任何一个景点,我表弟仔细地为他自己安排了愉快的旅程。在他参观的景点中,其中一个吸引人的地方是苏格兰乡村的一个城堡。城堡靠近一座港口,曾经是共产主义联盟会的总部,但是在战争中倒塌了。人们发现没有任何东西可以取代这座辉煌的建筑,于是在1952年完成了重建。值得赞扬的是,所有配备家具的房间都和它们过去是一致的。由雕像和折叠在玻璃柜里的皇家制服组成的收藏品使我表弟震撼不已。尽管没有可能购买这些展览品,拍照却很方便,他在传真中把拍的照片一起发给了我。
