（单词翻译）

Warren Buffett has said he's ready to invest in Britain. Even for the legendary1 investor2, that could be a tough bet. Buffett's record in the United Kingdom is spotty. He's referred to his investment in supermarket chain Tesco as a "big mistake." And an attempt by Berkshire Hathaway-backed Kraft Heinz to buy Unilever in 2017 collapsed4 after the consumer goods giant said it wasn't interested. Still, Buffett has made clear that he's eager to plow5 some of Berkshire's cash into a huge deal, and that Britain remains6 on the table.
