76. While they are out of their room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it.
點(diǎn)睛
短語be out of意為“在……之外”。whatever意為“任何事物，一切事物”，是對(duì)之前提到的money“錢”和handbag“手提包”的簡略補(bǔ)充。短語make off with sth.是本句的聽力難點(diǎn)，意為“順手牽羊，偷走某物”。
考點(diǎn)歸納
聽力中有關(guān)make的短語很多，此處列舉幾個(gè)跟make off with sth.相近的短語：
make off意為“匆忙離開，倉惶逃跑”。如：
When the rabbit saw the boy, it made off at once. 兔子一見到男孩，就立刻跑掉了。
make sth. of sb./sth.意為“領(lǐng)會(huì)，理解，看待”。如：
History is what you make of it. 歷史正如你所理解的那樣。
make the most of意為“充分利用”。如：
You should make the most of your week's 168 hours. 你應(yīng)該充分利用一周的168個(gè)小時(shí)。
