每日一篇新概念 -- 第二册第四十四课(10月22日作业)

这位Sterling太太比李太太还跋扈!

出国前在北京俺也被人抢过。我骑一自行车,后面坐着幼子,前面的筐里放着一公文包 -- 那是我至今为止最贵重的一件物品,虽然也并不值几个钱。遇一上坡,骑不动,就下来推着走。这时一个人过来说“我车别着你的后轮了,你看一下有没有问题。”就在我回头的一霎那,包就被另一人抓跑了。旁边有人喊,我一看意识到包没了,就声嘶力竭地叫唤。那天也是运气,一位年轻的活雷锋,冲上去制止住了逃跑中的抢劫者,并通知警察来给带走了。

后来我被叫去警句录证词,看到那个抢包的人,还是个年轻的孩子!却被打得头破血流的。想想心里又有些不忍。不知道自己当时到底该不该那么拼了命地要夺回自己的东西,却害得这个孩子这般惨。

Lesson 44 Through the forest



Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. 'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs. Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.'
