概述:
我轉(zhuǎn)過身,看見他們的影子鉆進了一輛汽車,急速地開走了。。。
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.
我轉(zhuǎn)過身,看見他們的影子鉆進了一輛汽車,急速地開走了。
他們沒有殺我,但他們?yōu)槭裁催@么做呢? 是仁慈? 是因為時間太緊而顧不上? 還是因為饑餓?
“多奇怪啊,”我心中暗想,“竟然是炸雞救了我的命。我看到的是死亡,而他們看到的是食物?!?
我站起身來,找到了鑰匙,進了屋,然后撥通了911。接線員記下了我對劫匪的描述,然后派了輛警車來。我為自己倒了一杯烈性酒,不一會兒,兩個穿制服的洛杉磯警察局的警察就到了。他們對此事作了筆錄,說“幸好”沒有受傷。
