Lesson 35 Stop thief! 捉贼！

Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago, however, he became a bus-driver and he was not regretted it. He is finding his new work far more exciting. When he was driving along Cartford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag full of money. Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it. While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize. Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

From Roy's View:

罗伊.特雷顿原是开出租汽车的，然而就在前不久，他开上了公共汽车，也并不为此而感到后悔。他发觉自己的新工作令人兴奋得多。最近，当他正开车在凯特福德街上行驶时，看到有两个小偷从一家商店里冲出来，奔向等在那里的一辆汽车，其中一个提着一只装满钞票的提包。罗伊行动迅速，开车直冲窃贼而去。拿钱的那个小偷吓得把提包都扔了。当那两个小偷企图乘车逃跑时，罗伊驾驶他的公共汽车撞在了那辆车的后尾上。当那辆被撞坏的车开走后，罗伊停下车，给警察挂了电话。小偷的车损坏严重，很容易辨认。没过多久，警察就截住了那辆车，两个小偷都被抓住了。

I had been a taxi driver for ten years. I never stopped dreaming to drive a bus until it camed true for I passed the examination and got a driving licence. I was finding my new job more exciting. Recently, I drove my bus along Cartford Street and noticed two thieves rushed out of a shop towards a waiting car and the owner was calling out at the window upstairs. I drove the bus straight at the thieves and they got so frightened that the man with a bag dropped it. As they were trying to get away in the car, I drove the bus into the back of the car. After that, I stopped and telephoned the police. As the thieves's car was 'crashed'[=> badly damaged] and 'was'[=> ] easy to recognize. Not soon afterwards, the police stopped the car and they were all arrested.

I awed the bank nearly one million and I was always worried about it. Last week, John, one of my good friends who also lacked money, told me that he had an idea to make a lot of money. He told me that there was a gold shop in Cartfort street and the owner of it is an old man and he always hides his money in his kitchen. He said that we would get at least 50 millions and the risk of it was very very low because the owner was too old to catch us. I agreed although I got worried. Next morning, it was very easy for us to run out of the shop with a bag full of money. Then we rushed towards the waiting car we parked at corner near the shop before. At that moment, a crazy bus was running straight at us. We got so frightened that our bag was dropped. We jumped into our car as soon as quickly and were trying to get away. But the bus hit the back of our car suddenly and our car was badly damaged and it ran more slowly than normal. Anyway, we succeeded to move away from Cartford. We felt lucky to learn that the bus wasn't following us until a few police cars stopped in front of us -- we got arrested.
