Trev: They were hanging out in the alleyway near the car mechanic’s. Cop: Did any of them have any tattoos or marks of any kind? Trev: Yeah, the leader had a scar on his cheek. And they all had knife tattoos on their arms. Cop: That’s the Mustard Hill Gang. They’re rotten apples all right. You kids are lucky you got away. Trev: They drove east after taking our van, money, wallets and clothes. Cop: I think I know where they hang out. I’ll show you some pictures just to make sure, then we’ll go arrest ’em. (续上期，下期续) 警察：他们之中谁身上有刺青或任何特征吗？ 崔佛：有，带头的脸颊上有条刀疤。还有他们的手臂上都有一把刀的刺青。 警察：那是芥茉山帮。他们的确是害群之马。能全身而退算你们这些小子幸运。 崔佛：他们抢走我们的厢型车、钱、皮夹跟衣服后往东开走了。 警察：我想我知道他们出没的地方。为了更加确认，我拿些照片给你们指认，然后我们就去逮捕他们。 重点解说： ★ hang out 出没 ★ alleyway (n.) 巷，弄 ★ mechanic (n.) 修车行 ★ of any kind 任何种类的…（用于问句和否定句） ★ scar (n.) 疤 ★ rotten apple 害群之马。一箱苹果中若有一个烂苹果，整箱苹果都会很快烂掉，所以用rotten apple来形容‘害群之马’ ★ all right 的确如此，没错（用在句尾表示强调） ★ van (n.) 厢型车 ★ arrest (v.) 逮捕 相关资料 |
