45. The Offender 犯規(guī)者
The other day my brother and I went to the cinema by bicycle. With only one bicycle, my brother had to sit behind me on parcel rack.
一天我和弟弟騎車去看電影,因為只有一輛自行車,弟弟只好坐在后座上。
Both of us kept an eye on the policemen, but, to our surprise, a young man and a girl came up and stopped us at a crossroad.
我們倆都仔細(xì)注意有沒有警察,但是,令人驚訝的是一對青年男女走上前來攔住了我們。
"We've found you at long last," they cried. However, we didn't know them. The young man seemed to read our thought and explained, "The policeman stopped us about half an hour ago and made us catch the next offender. Now it is your turn. Don't leave until you catch the next.
“我們終于找到了你們!”他們叫著,然而我們并不認(rèn)識他們。這個男青年似乎看出我們的想法,解釋說:“半小時前警察攔住了我們,并罰我們在這兒抓到下一個犯規(guī)的?,F(xiàn)在該你們了。抓到下一個犯規(guī)的你們才能離開。
I hope that you don't have to wait as long as we did. Good luck."
我希望你們不會像我們等這么久。祝你們好運(yùn)!”
