記憶超人英語單詞妙記手冊(李峻)A-11:albumen－－-alliance

An alien once was famous in the field of algebra. But when he was 40, he fell in love with alcohol all at once. This alienated him from his science. Soon he lived on alimony. One night he drank a lot and walked into a blind alley. He could not find a way out, so he lay down in an alcove. An alert policeman found him with an alight torch and sent him to the hospital. The doctor was his old classmate. He used a kind of alkali to alleviate his pain but found he was allergic. So the doctor read a lot of allegories or jokes to allay his pain. “My dear friend,” he said, “On the face of Allah, you should pay attention to alimentation. Albumen will do good to you.” “All right. Thank you.” “Not at all, you know we were an alliance all the time.” When he recovered, he decided to go back to his own country by using an alias. His friends laughed at him, “Nobody will trust your alleged allegiance.” But on the day that he arrived in his motherland, he found many people aligned at the airport and welcomed him.
