Unit 5:Down and Out in Paris and London 巴黎、伦敦落魄记 You discover the extreme precariousness of your six francs a day. Mean disasters happen and rob you of food. You have spent your last eighty centimes on half a litre of milk, and are boiling it over the spirit lamp. While it boils a bug runs down your forearm; you give the bug a flick with your nail, and it falls, plop! straight into the milk. There is nothing for it but to throw the milk away and go foodless. 你发现每天的六法郎根本没有保障。一些意想不到(恶劣)的灾难就会掠夺你的一日三餐。你花最后的八十生丁买了半升牛奶，然后在酒精灯上把它煮沸。煮牛奶时，一只臭虫跳到你的前臂上；你用指甲弹开臭虫，扑通一声，它掉进了牛奶。你无可奈何，只好把牛奶倒了，这样又得继续饿着肚子。
