上周六，“披头士”乐队已故成员约翰•列侬生前使用过的一个马桶在拍卖会上拍得9500英镑（约合近1.5万美元）的高价。据介绍，这个马桶为瓷制，蓝白相间，是列侬在1969年至1971年间在英格兰南部寓所中使用过的。在列侬家中更换新马桶时，一位建筑工人将其带回家中收藏，至今已有40年之久，直到近期这位建筑工人辞世，才将其拿出来拍卖。对于这样的高价，拍卖方感到有些意外，他们之前对该拍品的估价仅为750到1000英镑。[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 S3{%y~+ULN1&fboFroG]

Lennon, who was murdered in New York in 1980, had the porcelain lavatory removed from Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire, southern England, where he lived from 1969 to 1971, and replaced with a new one.
