（单词翻译:单击）

A Yuppie was sent a ransom1 note saying that he was to bring $50,000 to the 17th hole of the country club at 10 o'clock the next day if he ever wanted to see his wife alive again.

He didn't arrive until almost 12:30. A masked man stepped out from behind some bushes and growled2, "What took ya so long? You're over two hours late."

"Hey! Give me a break," whined3 the Yuppie. "I have a 27 handicap."
