被通缉(wanted)两年多的美国19岁少年哈里斯•摩尔终于落网。这名当地家喻户晓的人物多年来犯下几十起盗窃案,多次被警察包围却奇迹逃脱;由于他有脱鞋逃跑的习惯,也被称为“赤脚大盗”。这名热衷于偷飞机、游艇,并且热衷于跟警察玩“猫鼠游戏”的“惯偷”,在美国竟成为网络红人,甚至在Facebook上拥有近万名粉丝,引起美国社会的争议。

This time, “Barefoot Bandit” Colton Harris-Moore was caught.

这次,“赤脚大盗”哈里斯•摩尔终于落网了。

Early Sunday, after Mr. Harris-Moore had fled across the continent, the police in the Bahamas arrested him after they shot out the engines on his stolen boat and roared up beside him in open waters in the middle of the night. He had vanished from a halfway house in the Seattle suburbs in 2008 and begun eluding repeated efforts to track him in the dense forests of the Northwest.

上周日早晨,逃亡于美洲大陆的哈里斯•摩尔终于在巴哈马地区落网。午夜时分,警方先是击中了他所盗船只的引擎,之后在该片公开水域向其喊话。2008年时 哈里斯•摩尔从西雅图郊区的一处中途宿舍(编辑注:为出狱者及离院病人而设的住所)神秘消失,之后便开始藏身于西北部的密林中,以躲避警方各种方式的搜捕。

American authorities said it could have been the success of Mr. Harris-Moore’s trek itself — making it all the way to the Bahamas — that ultimately led to his downfall.

美国官方表示尽管哈里斯•摩尔想方设法前往巴哈马,并最终成功抵达。但这最终成为他落网的原因。

He was in court in Nassau on Tuesday. He faces dozens of charges in the United States, including a federal warrant on charges of stealing a plane last fall in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

他于本周二出现在拿骚的法庭上,面临着美国当局的几十项指控,其中包括一项指控其曾在爱达荷州邦纳斯费里盗窃飞机并最终坠机的联邦逮捕令。

It was unclear how soon Mr. Harris-Moore might return to face charges in the United States.

目前还尚未知晓哈里斯•摩尔何时返回美国接受多项指控。
