A woman SWALLOWED $7,000 US dollars in a desperate attempt to hide the cash during a fight with her husband, it was reported.据报道，一名女子在与丈夫吵架期间，不顾一切地企图私藏现金而吞下了7000美金。
The 30-year-old woman swallowed rolls of $100 bills, according to surgeons who removed the money from her body.
外科医生把钱从她的身体里取了出来并表示，这名30岁的女子吞下了几卷100美金的纸币。
The Colombian woman told the local television channel she had saved up the money for a holiday with her husband after having sold several electrical household items.
这名哥伦比亚女子告诉当地电视台，她卖了几件家用电器后才省下这些钱，为了和丈夫一起去度假。
Doctors said they were able to surgically extract 57 $100 bills from the woman's stomach and intestines.
医生说他们能通过手术从女子的胃部和肠道取出57张100美金的纸币。
Director of Surgery, Juan Paulo Serrano, said the majority of the bills were extracted through the stomach.
外科主任胡安·保罗·塞拉诺表示，多数纸币是从胃部取出的。
The fact the rolls were not wrapped up or packaged suggest they were not swallowed for any form of illicit transport, Serrano said.
事实上，这些纸币没有裹起来或被包好，这说明它们不是为了任何形式的非法运输才被吞下的，塞拉诺说道。
Rather, they were ingested in an "act of desperation".
更确切地说，它们是被“绝望地”吞下的。
