Lesson14 A noble gangsterThere was a time when the owners of shop and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters in return for' protection' If the money was not paid promptly, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Obtaining 'protechon money' is not a modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters.Six hundred years ago, Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of money in this way. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero. When he died at the age of eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a picture painted which was dedicated to the memory of 'the most valiant soldier and most notable leader, Signor Giovanni Haukodue'.1.How did Hawkwood make money in times of peace➢In times of peace 在和平时期2.If the money not paid promptly , the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business bydestroying his shop.如果交款不及时，歹徒们就会很快捣毁他的商店，让他破产➢promptly 立即的，及时的（正式）speedily 迅速的swiftly 迅速的directly 立刻的simultaneous [ˌsaɪmlˈteɪniəs] 同时的simultaneous interpretation 同声传译➢pickpocket 扒手burglar 入室盗窃犯highwayman 车匪路霸smuggle sth 走私pirate sth 盗版traffic drugs 贩毒➢put sb out of business 使某人破产sb go bankruptcy [ˈbæŋkrʌptsi] 破产one’s business collapse/land on rocks/goes to the dogs/fails 破产3.As long ago as the fourteenth century ,an Englishman made the remarkable discovery that peoplewould rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters.早在十四世纪，英国人就有过非凡的发现：人们情愿拿出大笔的钱也不愿毕生的心血毁于歹徒之手。
