高考英語短文記憶3500單詞：勇敢的女仆

　　A Brave Maid

　　勇敢的女仆

　　A wooden vase from the Ming Dynasty at the entrance of the reception hall amazed everyone. The artists designed it in a rare style and selected valuable jewels to decorate it. People thought highly of its fancy colour of honey and the beautiful paintings on it.

　　The vase used to belong to a former castle. But when the country was at war， the enemy troops exploded the castle. Debates on how the vase survived went on and on. In order to remove people’s doubt， a team of no less than 20 people carried out an informal investigation. The evidences they found showed that a maid took the vase apart and asked a sailor to sink it in a local well. She never gave away the secret even under the cruel trial of the enemies who were in search of treasures.

　　It is worth giving this brave maid a fortune in return.

　　接待大廳入口處的明朝木制花瓶 使每個人都驚奇不已。藝術家以一種罕有的風格設計它，并挑選了貴重的珠寶裝飾它。人們高度贊賞它那蜂蜜般的奇特顏色，還有上面繪制的繪畫。

　　這個花瓶曾經屬于一座從前的城堡，但在戰(zhàn)爭期間，敵人的軍隊炸毀了城堡，于是關于這個花瓶是如何幸存下來的爭論就一直在持續(xù)著。為了解開人們的疑問，一個由不少于20人的調查隊開展了一次非正式的調查。他們找到的證據表明，有個女仆 把花瓶拆開，然后讓一名水手把它沉到當地的一個水井里。她從來沒有泄露這個秘密，即使是在搜尋財寶的敵人殘酷的審訊下。

　　這位女仆真是值得給予一大筆錢作為對她的回報。
