　　一个人要打官司，他问他的律师哪位法官将审理他的案子。律师告诉了他，并问：“你认识他？”

　　第【1】串：be engaged in a lawsuit惹上官司

　　- What's eating you?

　　- I am engaged in a lawsuit which has brought me a lot of trouble.

　　那人回答：“不认识。但我想知道他的名字，以便给他送瓶好酒。”

　　律师大为震惊：“你可不能这么做，”他说，“那可是严重违法的，并且肯定会输掉官司。”

　　第【2】串：to knock sb. back使某人震惊

　　What he had said knocked him back greatly, for he had never thought a 10-year-old boy should know

　　so much about grown-up world.

　　案件审结，那人胜诉。就要离开法庭了，他对他的律师说：“我给法官送的礼还挺管用，是吧？”

　　第【3】串：to take effect起作用

　　The medicine will take effect two hours later. At that time, you will feel a bit sleepy.

　　律师听了更为震惊：“什么？我都跟你讲过了，你还贿赂他？”

　　第【4】串：to give bribes to sb.向某人行贿

　　It is illegal to give bribes to the government officials.

　　“当然送了，”那人答道，“不过我在送酒的卡片上写的是我对手的名字。”

　　第【5】串：opponent对手

　　We beat our opponent at the football match.
