卡卡英語 第304期:每個(gè)人都有不走運(yùn)的時(shí)候,來聽"特殊的911來電"
雖然我們大多數(shù)人都很幸運(yùn)，但是不得不承認(rèn)的是，在這個(gè)世界上，暴力侵害卻是屢見不鮮的。不管是家暴還是來自他人的暴力威脅，我們一定要學(xué)會(huì)保護(hù)好自己，遠(yuǎn)離傷害。今天這個(gè)故事（摘自BuzzFeed) 我們就會(huì)看到，當(dāng)一個(gè)女孩遇到來自于男友的暴力威脅時(shí)，她是如何巧妙的求助的。我們需要先來學(xué)習(xí)幾個(gè)單詞：
prank n.惡作劇; 開玩笑;
pepperoni n.意大利辣香腸;
dispatch vt.派遣，調(diào)度; （迅速地） 發(fā)出; 迅速處理;
multiple adj.多重的; 多個(gè)的; 復(fù)雜的; 多功能的;
previous adj.以前的; 先前的; 過早的; （時(shí)間上） 稍前的
domestic violence n. 家庭暴力;
I had a call that started out pretty dumb, but was actually pretty serious:
"911, where is you emergency?"
"123 Main St."
"Ok, what's going on there?"
"I'd like to order a pizza for delivery." (oh great, another prank call).
"Ma'am, you've reached 911"
"Yeah, I know. Can I have a large with half pepperoni, half mushroom and peppers?"
"Ummm…. I'm sorry, you know you've called 911 right?"
"Yeah, do you know how long it will be?"
"Ok, Ma'am, is everything ok over there? do you have an emergency?"
"Yes, I do."
"..And you can't talk about it because there's someone in the room with you?" (moment of realization)
"Yes, that's correct. Do you know how long it will be?"
"I have an officer about a mile from your location. Are there any weapons in your house?"
"Nope."
"Can you stay on the phone with me?"
"Nope. See you soon, thanks"
As we dispatch the call, I check the history at the address, and see there are multiple previous domestic violence calls. The officer arrives and finds a couple, female was kind of banged up, and the boyfriend was drunk. Officer arrests him after she explains that the boyfriend had been beating her for a while. I thought she was pretty clever to use that trick. Definitely one of the most memorable calls.
我接到一個(gè)非常愚蠢的電話，但實(shí)際上很嚴(yán)肅：
“911，請(qǐng)問哪里發(fā)生了緊急情況？”
“123大道”
“好的，那里發(fā)生什么事了？”
“我想點(diǎn)一個(gè)外賣披薩。”（噢，太好了，又是惡作劇電話）。
“女士，你打的是911”
“是的，我知道。我可以點(diǎn)個(gè)一半是意大利辣味香腸，一半蘑菇辣椒的嗎？”
“嗯…對(duì)不起，你知道你打了911，對(duì)嗎？
“是的，你知道多久能做好嗎？”
“好的，夫人，那邊一切都好嗎？你有緊急情況嗎？”
“是的。”
“而且你不能說，因?yàn)榉块g里有人和你在一起？”（那刻我終于意識(shí)到了）
“是的，沒錯(cuò)。你知道多久能做好嗎？”
“我有一名警官離你的位置大約一英里。你家里有武器嗎？”
“不。”
“你能和我一起打電話嗎？”
“不。待會(huì)見，謝謝
在我們撥打電話時(shí)，我查看了通話歷史的地址，發(fā)現(xiàn)之前有很多因?yàn)榧冶┐騺淼碾娫挕＞俚竭_(dá)后，發(fā)現(xiàn)一對(duì)夫婦，女的有些撞傷，而她的男朋友喝醉了。在她解釋道她男友已經(jīng)毆打她一段時(shí)間后，警官逮捕了他。我認(rèn)為她用那一招很聰明。絕對(duì)是最難忘的電話之一。
故事聽完了，這個(gè)女孩用怎樣的方式進(jìn)行報(bào)警的呢？你有聽懂嗎？其實(shí)我想說的是，既然這個(gè)男友多次進(jìn)行家暴，為什么不直接分手？縱然這個(gè)報(bào)警電話打的精彩絕倫，但是要從源頭上保護(hù)自己，鼓起勇氣離開他不就行了嗎？
