▍原文 The theft happened on Sunday between 9:30 and 9:40 local time, shortly after the museum opened to visitors. Four thieves used a vehicle-mounted mechanical lift to gain access to the Galerie d'Apollon via a balcony close to the River Seine. According to the authorities, eight items were taken, including diadems, necklaces, ear-rings and brooches. All are from the 19th century, and once belonged to French royalty or imperial rulers. ▍語言點 1. theft /θeft/ n. 偷盜行為 · thief n. 小偷 · steal v. 偷盜 2. mechanical lift 機械升降機 · lift n. （本文）升降機，電梯；v. 往上提 3. gain access to somewhere 成功進入某處 · gain v. 獲取 · access n. 進入 4. the Galerie d'Apollon 阿波羅畫廊（法語名稱） 5. diadem /ˈdaɪədem/ n. 王冠中的一種（比crown小一些） 搜索【友鄰優課】微信小程序，收聽晨讀即可領取： 《晨讀短文100篇電子資料》 · 關注公眾號【夏說英文日讀】，夏鵬老師送你2份見面禮： 《英語學習小傳》 共100篇文章，英語學習經驗獨家分享 《英文學習方法論》 共7...
