【迷你小对话】

A: Boy, the freeway was lousy with highway patrol cars. What’s going on?
B: Oh, some big wig got robbed.
A: Really? What’s the big deal?
B: Actually it was a big wig. They took the governor’s toupee at the rally. Some guy just hooked it off his head with a casting rod. He ran and sped off in a convertible. The cops are watching for it, seems like it was a pink Caddi.
A: Gosh, not exactly discreet.

A: 天啊！高速公路上挤满了巡逻警车。发生了什么事？
B: 某个大人物被抢了。
A: 真的吗？有什么大不了的？
B: 确实是大人物。有人在集会上抢走了州长的假发。那个人用钓竿把假发从他的头上钓了去，然后就开着一辆敞篷车跑了。警察们正在搜查，好像是一辆粉色的凯迪。
A: 天啊，真是太不谨慎了。
