A So Kim, have you ever had anything stolen?

那么，金，你有没有被偷过东西？

B Stolen? No, why?

被偷过？没有，问这干什么？

A My uncle just had his motorcycle stolen a few nights ago. I was just thinking about how clever criminals are these days.

几天前我叔叔的车被偷了。我在想现在的小偷真是太聪明了。

B Criminals are clever? They're only successful when people are careless.

小偷聪明？只有当人们粗心时，他们才得手。

A I don't know. The ones who stole my uncle's motorcycle were pretty good.

我不清楚。偷我叔叔摩托车的那些小偷很聪明。

B If your uncle had an alarm system, then it wouldn't have happened.

如果你叔叔装了报警系统，那就不会发生这样的事了。

A He did. It was one of the best ones available. But that didn't stop them from disabling11 it. And on a crowded street too.

他有报警器。是能买得到的最好的一种。但它没有阻止小偷偷车，而且还是在人群拥挤的大街上。

B Didn't anyone stop them?

难道没有人阻止他们？

A You would think that people would be smart enough to stop something like that. No one knew his motorcycle was being stolen. The thieves came in a truck and convinced everybody that my uncle was parked illegally and they were there to tow it away.

你认为有人会那么聪明去阻止那种事情。没人知道有人在偷摩托车。小偷坐卡车来的，告诉每个人我叔叔是非法停车，他们去那就是把车拖走。

B Wow, they were good. I guess criminals aren't that dumb after all.

喔，他们太绝了。我想罪犯毕竟不是那么哑巴。

A That's not the end. They were so good that they convinced a bystander to help them lift the motorcycle and put it in the truck.

那还没有完。他们伪装得如此好以致于一位旁观者还帮助他们把摩托车抬进卡车。
