概述:
我转过身,看见他们的影子钻进了一辆汽车,急速地开走了。。。
Hints:
LAPD
I turned to see their shadows get into a car and speed away.
I had been spared, but by what? Mercy? A short attention span? Hunger?
"How peculiar," I thought, "to have your life saved by fried chicken. I saw eternity; they saw food."
I got to my feet, found the keys, entered and called 911. The operator took a description of the robbers and sent a police car. I poured a stiff drink and, soon, two uniformed officers of the LAPD arrived. They took a report and admitted the "important thing" was nobody was hurt.
我转过身,看见他们的影子钻进了一辆汽车,急速地开走了。
他们没有杀我,但他们为什么这么做呢? 是仁慈? 是因为时间太紧而顾不上? 还是因为饥饿?
“多奇怪啊,”我心中暗想,“竟然是炸鸡救了我的命。我看到的是死亡,而他们看到的是食物。”
我站起身来,找到了钥匙,进了屋,然后拨通了911。接线员记下了我对劫匪的描述,然后派了辆警车来。我为自己倒了一杯烈性酒,不一会儿,两个穿制服的洛杉矶警察局的警察就到了。他们对此事作了笔录,说“幸好”没有受伤。
