He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds. 新词与短语 smash-and-grab n. 砸橱窗抢劫 velvet n.天鹅绒，丝绒 headlight n.(汽车等)前灯 arcade n.有拱廊的街道(两旁常设商店) blare v.发嘟哪声，吼叫 staf n.全体工作人员 Piccadilly n.皮卡迪利大街 raid n.抢劫 jewellery n.珠宝（总称） scramble v.爬行 necklace n.项链 fantastic adj.非常大的 ring n.戒指 ashtray n.烟灰缸 background n.背景 词汇解释与拓展 Arcade [ɑ r ke d] n. 商场；购物中心。两侧有商店的步行街。 释义：An arcade is a covered passage where there are shops and market stalls. 近义词： bazaar：n.街市，百货商店，义卖市场 marketplace：集市 mall：n.购物中心 Admire[ d ma r] v. 钦佩，赞赏，欣赏 释义：If you admire someone or something, you like and respect them very much. 近义词：appriciate：v.感激，欣赏，增值，涨价；adore：n.崇拜，爱慕，敬佩； honor：n.尊敬，荣誉 respect：v.尊重，尊敬；n.尊重，敬意； 反义词 disregard：v.漠视，蔑视，不理despise：v.鄙视，看不起scorn：v.轻视，蔑视；n.不屑一顾 abhor：v.憎恶，拒绝 Velvet [ velv t] n. 天鹅绒，丝绒 释义：Velvet is soft material made from cotton, silk, nylon, which has a thick layer of short cut threads on one sides. 同类词： silk：n. 丝，蚕丝；adj.丝的，丝绸的。 cotton：n. 棉，棉线。 nylon：n. 尼龙 cloth：n. 布，一块布，桌布。 textile：n. 纺织品，纺织物。 fabric：n. 织物，布，构造 gaze [ɡe z] v. 凝视，注视； n. 凝视，注视 释义：If you gaze at someone or something, you look steadily at them for along time. 同近义词： glare：v.怒目而视，发强光；n.怒视，强光。 stare：v.盯着看，凝视，倒立；n. 凝视。 glance：v.一鳖，掠过，随便提到；n.浏览，闪光。 ... ...
