赖世雄中级美国英语Lesson94

 
　　94. As Poor AS a Church Mouse
　　Anna and Eric are talking about the previous lesson.
　　E： Wow！ Those store clerks really got lucky.
　　A： You can say that again. Some people are born lucky.
　　E： There must be thousands of old men just like that doctor， I bet.
　　A： That's probably true. And they must be wanting to draw up a will to give their money away， too. So the next time you meet a lonely old man， you'd better treat him right.
　　E： Come on！ What kind of person do you think I am？
　　A： Don't get so mad！ I'm just kidding！ Besides， you might not be so lucky and come across my old uncle， Jake.
　　E： What do you mean？
　　A： He's as poor as a church mouse！
