（3）The details of the case have kept the tabloids busy. （4）Marshall met Ms Smith when he was wheeled[6] into the Texas strip club where she was dancing. After a courtship of a few years, full of expensive gifts (such as $2m in jewellery) and pricier promises, the two were married in 1994. She was 26, he was 89. Fourteen months later, Marshall dropped dead ________③ a heart attack, leaving nothing to Ms Smith in his will.

那些街头小报为了捕捉此案一些细节而忙得不亦乐乎。（报道说，）马歇尔是被人用轮椅推进得克萨斯脱衣舞夜总会后结识了在那儿跳脱衣舞的史密斯。随着几年的求爱，加上数不胜数的昂贵礼物（比如200万美元的珠宝）跟一番海誓山盟之后，两人在1994年结婚。当时她26岁，而他89岁。十四个月过后，马歇尔死于心脏病，可在遗嘱中给史密斯女士分文未留。

（5）The dispute has seen the inside of five courthouses since 1995, when Ms Smith first sued Marshall’s son, E. Pierce Marshall, in a Texas state court, accusing him of cutting her ________④ from the estate. She insists that Marshall promised her half his fortune. His son, seething[7] at what he considers Ms Smith’s gold-digging (he calls her “Miss Cleavage”), argued that Marshall had already given her $6m in gifts and did not intend to leave her more. Ms Smith got nothing from her first lawsuit, but was awarded $475m in a federal bankruptcy ruling in California in 2000. （6）A federal district court judge cut this award to $89m, and then a US appeals court ruled that the issue was not a federal matter.
