小提示：听写程序是按照【空格】来划分单词的，所以同学们在写听写稿的时候一定要注意：

单词与单词之间要空格，标点与下一个单词之间要记得空格（很多同学就是没有注意这点，被程序把前后两个单词连同中间的标点当成一个单词来判断，所以就被判断为错误）

I'm Susan Clark		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
with the Special English program		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Young Mister Smith		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
had an idea for his employer.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
It was an idea for saving money		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
for the company		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
by increasing prices.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
At the same time,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Smith suggested that the company		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
sell goods of less value.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
If his employer liked the idea,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Smith might be given more pay.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Perhaps he might even		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
get a better job with the company.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Business had been very slow.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
So Mister Smith's employer		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
thought a few minutes		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
about the idea.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
But then she shook her head.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
"I am sorry, Smith,"		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
his employer said.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
"It just will not wash."		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Now, the meaning of		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
these English words should be,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
"It will not get clean."		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Yet Smith's idea did not		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
have anything to do		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
with making something clean.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
So why did his employer say,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
"It will not wash?"		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Most word experts agree that		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
"it will not wash"		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
means it will not work.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Eric Partridge wrote that		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
the saying probably developed		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
in Britain in the eighteen hundreds.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Charlotte Bronte used it		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
in a story published		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
in eighteen forty-nine.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
She wrote, "That wiln't wash, miss."		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Mizz Bronte seems to have meant that		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
the dyes used to color		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
a piece of clothing		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
were not good.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
The colors could not be depended		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
on to stay in the material.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
In nineteenth century England,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
the expression came to mean		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
an undependable statement.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
It was used mainly		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
to describe an idea.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
But sometimes it was		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
used about a person.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
A critic once said		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
of the poet Robert Browning,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
"He won't wash."		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
The critic did not mean that		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
the poet was not a clean person.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
He meant that Browning's poems		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
could not be depended on to last.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Today, we know that		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
judgment was wrong.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Robert Browning still		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
is considered a major poet.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
But very few people remember		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
the man who said Browning		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
would not wash.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Happily for the young employee Smith,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
his employer wanted him		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
to do well in the company.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
So the employer		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
"talked turkey" to him.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
She said,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
"Your idea would be unfair		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
to our buyers.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Think of another way to save money."		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
A century ago,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
to talk turkey meant		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
to talk pleasantly.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Turkeys in the barnyard		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
were thought to be speaking		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
pleasantly to one another.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
In recent years, the saying		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
has come to mean an attempt		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
to teach something important.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Word expert Charles Funk tells		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
how he believes		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
this change took place.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
He says two men were		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
shooting turkeys together.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
One of them was a white man.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
The other was an American Indian.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
The white man began stating reasons		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
why he should get		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
all the turkeys for himself.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
But the American Indian		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
stopped him.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
He told the white man,		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
"Now, I talk turkey to you."		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
Mister Smith thought of		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
a better idea after his employer		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
talked turkey to him.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
He was given an increase in pay.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
So if your idea "will not wash,"		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
try "talking turkey" to yourself		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
and come up with a better idea.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
(MUSIC)		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
This WORDS AND THEIR STORIES program		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
was written by Jeri Watson.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
I'm Susan Clark.		抱歉，暂无中文翻译
