PETS-2每日對話練習(xí)101
The next day
Cop: We found those gangsters.
Paul: Really? Are you gonna arrest them?
Cop: Yep. But we gotta wait till they're all inside.
Paul: Are we gonna have to identify them?
Cop: Yes. We'll put them in a lineup.
Paul: Good. I can't wait to see them behind bars.
Cop: Have you and the little lady forgiven your friend yet?
Paul: No. Not yet. He really got us in a bind this time.
Cop: Well, he sure does look sorry.

隔天
警察:我們找到那些歹徒了。
保羅:真的嗎?你會去逮捕他們嗎?
警察:當(dāng)然。不過我們得等他們都回來后一網(wǎng)打盡。
保羅:我們需要指認他們嗎?
警察:要。我們會讓他們排排站好。
保羅:太好了。我等不及要看他們被關(guān)起來。
警察:你跟那位小姐原諒你們的朋友了嗎?
保羅:不,還早。他這次真的讓我們?nèi)橇舜舐闊?br>警察:嗯,他看起來真的很愧疚。
重點解說:
★ identify (v.) 指認,確認
★ lineup (n.) 涉嫌者的行列,為識別嫌犯,警方會安排有嫌疑的一群人排排站供目擊者指認
★ behind bars 在獄中。bar指的是監(jiān)獄的‘鐵條’
★ bind (n.) (口)困境。get someone in a bind是‘使某人陷入困境’
