赖世雄中级美国英语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!
