Not that the desire to kill had suddenly come to her, or that she felt she would leave India safer with one wild beast less. It was because Loona Bimberto

10、n had recently taken a plane to the forest and killed a tiger, and the newspapers showed photographs of Loona Bimberton with a tiger-skin on. In a world supposed to be moved by hunger and by love, Mrs. Packletides movements were largely governed by dislike of Loona Bimberton.Circumstances proved fav

11、orable. Mrs. Packletide had offered a thousand rupees (印度卢比) for the opportunity of shooting a tiger without risk or effort, and it happened that an old tiger was frequently coming to a neighboring village at night. He was so old that he couldnt kill animals in the wild and just satisfied his appeti

12、te to the smaller household animals. The villagers were eager to earn the thousand rupees; children were posted night and day in the jungle to watch the tiger, and the cheap goats were left about to keep him from going elsewhere. The one great fear was that he should die of old age before the day of

13、 Mrs. Packletides shoot.The great night arrived. A platform had been built in a tree, on which sat Mrs. Packletide and her paid companion, Miss Mebbin. A goat with a loud bleat (咩咩叫) was tied down at the correct distance. With an accurate gun, they waited for the coming of the tiger.“I suppose we ar

14、e in some danger?” said Miss Mebbin.She was not actually nervous about the wild beast, but she was unwilling to perform a bit more service than she had been paid for.“Its a very old tiger. It couldnt spring up here even if it wanted to.” said Mrs. Packletide.Their conversation was cut short by the a

15、ppearance of the old tiger. He saw the goat, and lay on the earth for a short rest before attacking.The gun fired very loudly, and the great yellow beast jumped to one side and then rolled over in the stillness of death. In a moment a crowd of excited villagers appeared on the scene, and their shout

16、ing carried the glad news to the village.It was Miss Mebbin who found that the goat was dying from a bullet-wound, while no wound could be found on the tiger. Evidently the wrong animal had been hit, and the tiger had died of heart-failure, caused by the sudden loud noise of the gun. Mrs. Packletide

17、 was annoyed at the discovery; but anyway, she owned a dead tiger, and the villagers, anxious for their thousand rupees, gladly accepted the fiction that she had shot the tiger. And Miss Mebbin was a paid companion. Therefore Mrs. Packletide faced the cameras with a light heart, and her pictures app

18、eared on the newspapers of England and America. As for Loona Bimberton, she refused to look at a newspaper for weeks, and was in a depressed emotion for quite some time.Mrs. Packletides tiger-skin was inspected and admired by the neighbors, and Mrs. Packletide went to the Costume Ball in the charact

19、er of Diana (狩猎女神).“How amused everyone would be if they knew what really happened,” said Miss Mebbin a few days after the ball.“What do you mean?” asked Mrs. Packletide quickly.“How you shot the goat and frightened the tiger to death,” said Miss Mebbin, with her unpleasant laugh.“No one would belie

20、ve it,” said Mrs. Packletide, her face changing color rapidly.“Loona Bimberton would,” said Miss Mebbin.Mrs. Packletides face settled on greenish white. “You surely wouldnt give me away?” she asked.“Ive seen a weekend cottage near Dorking,” said Miss Mebbin, “six hundred and eighty. Quite a bargain,

21、 only I dont happen to have the money.”Miss Mebbin possessed the pretty weekend cottage.

24、ed.If you want to express something so unbelievable that it must have been a special effect, you have a new word to add to your vocabulary.Its “Duang”, an onomatopoetic (拟声词) word which doesnt relate to any particular Chinese character and refers to a special effect.A video parody (恶搞) adapted from

25、a shampoo commercial featuring Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan spread quickly online, leading Internet users to invent the new word.The video begins with Chan flashing his black, smooth hair, which would have been perfect except that it was not his real hair.Next, a self-satisfied Chan admits, to the re

26、petitive, rhythmical sounds of “Duang”, “I refused to approve of this product when they first came to me because of my thin hair, but the director insisted, saying special effects could be used to make my hair look healthy on the screen.
