　　4. People who live in Britain needn't despair when they make mistakes like this(and a lot of peole do)!

　　当英国人犯这种错误时(而且确实很多人犯这种错误)，他们不必感到绝望。

　　n. 绝望;令人绝望的人或事

　　vi. 绝望，丧失信心

　　例句:

　　I despair of ever finding him again.

　　我对再找到他已丧失信心。

　　语言点1:句子结构分析:who引导定语从句，具体说明是生活在哪里的人。When引导时间状语从句，括号内的内容进一步解释这种不小心毁坏钞票的事情并不是个案，让句子的意思变得更加完整。

　　语言点2:needn't despair不可解释为“不需要失望”，正确的解释为“不必失望”。

　　5. Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladieswhich deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to theirdog.

　　对英国人来说，值得庆幸的是英国银行有一个残钞鉴别组，负责处理那些把钱塞进机器或塞给狗的人提出的索赔要求。
