Agatha Christie was born in 1890 in a southwest England seaside（海濱） town. She enjoyed a very comfortable childhood in a big house with plenty of servants（仆人）. With her sister and brother away at school, she often played alone. She passed the time by making up stories which she told to herself.
克里斯蒂顯然從小就發現了自己編造故事的天賦，并善用這種天賦，成就了自己的偵探故事王國。她本人也被稱作是Queen of Crime（偵探小說女王）。

Without a doubt I think you are the greatest person I have ever met.
毫無疑問，我覺得你是我見過的最好的人。
（Without a doubt可以放在句首）
定睛一看，這車好熟悉
I think, without doubt, its my fathers car.
我看，這毫無疑問是我爸爸的車。

（Without a doubt放在末尾也可以）
