.
Summary:
While on vacation in Switzerland, famous Chinese writer, Zhang Wei, paid US$10,000 for a tiny shot of a 139-year-old Scotch whiskey, which was later proved to be made in the early 1970s. He was fully reimbursed by the hotel manager of St. Moritz, where the fake was kept.

Language Enhancement:
Reimburse (v.)(償還)
這是正式用字，常見於商業場合，核心意思與 refund (v.)「退款」和 compensate (v.)「賠償」相似：向某人償還他／她已付出的金錢。用法是 reimburse + sth.「為…作出償還」或 reimburse + sb. + for + sth.「為…向某人作出償還」。
e.g. My insurance agency has still yet to reimburse me for my lost luggage from my last trip to Taiwan.
e.g. The airline company has announced that all accommodation expenses we incurred during the 12-hour flight delay will be reimbursed.
